**Galaxy Digital Inc.**

**Class A common stock**

This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information contained in the prospectus dated May 29, 2025, as supplemented by Prospectus Supplement No. 1, dated June 12, 2025, No. 2, dated July 29, 2025, No. 3, dated August 5, 2025, No. 4, dated August 11, 2025, No. 5, dated August 15, 2025, No. 6, dated August 29, 2025, No. 7, dated October 14, 2025, and No. 8, dated October 20, 2025 (the "Prospectus"), which forms part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-287605) with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 30, 2025 (the "Current Report"). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Prospectus (the "Selling Stockholders") of up to 245,062,407 shares (the "Resale Shares") of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Class A common stock"), of Galaxy Digital Inc. ("GDI"), consisting of (i) 213,112,343 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon redemption or exchange of an equivalent number of limited partnership units (the "LP Units") of Galaxy Digital Holdings LP ("GDH LP"), (ii) up to 2,750,000 shares of Class A common stock held by certain selling stockholders as of the date hereof, (iii) up to 16,562,570 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the 3.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 issued by GDH LP (the "2026 Exchangeable Notes") and (iv) up to 12,637,494 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of the 2.500% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029 issued by GDH LP (the "2029 Exchangeable Notes" and, together with the 2026 Exchangeable Notes, the "Exchangeable Notes").

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. Terms used in this prospectus supplement but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Prospectus.

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "GLXY." On October 29, 2025 the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq was $36.43 per share.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, including any sales by the Selling Stockholders, could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception that such sales may occur, could have a significant negative impact on the trading price of our Class A common stock.

We are a holding company and, as a result of the Reorganization Transactions (a series of transactions described further elsewhere in our Prospectus), our principal assets are our direct ownership of (i) certain LP Units, which entitle us to a corresponding percentage ownership of the economic interest in GDH LP (and as a result, Galaxy's business), and (ii) all of the general partnership interests of GDH LP, which entitles us to operate and control all of the business and affairs of GDH LP as its sole general partner, and, through GDH LP and its subsidiaries, to conduct all of Galaxy's business. As of October 17, 2025, we owned 48.9% of the total economic interest in GDH LP. The remaining economic interest in GDH LP is owned by entities controlled by Michael Novogratz, our Chief Executive Officer and Founder (our "Founder"), and certain other limited partners of GDH LP, in each case, through their respective ownership of LP Units.

**Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "[Risk Factors](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1859392/000162828025028643/galaxydigitalinc-resale424.htm#i4047ff7674064f00929040b506209fc2_154)" beginning on page [12](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1859392/000162828025028643/galaxydigitalinc-resale424.htm#i4047ff7674064f00929040b506209fc2_154) of the Prospectus.**

**Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the Prospectus or this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

**Item 1.01. Entry Into or Amendment of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On October 30, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (the "Issuer") issued $1.3 billion (including $150 million issued upon the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes (as defined below)) aggregate principal amount of its 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of the Closing Date, among the Issuer, Galaxy Digital Inc. (the "Company") and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Notes will be the Issuer's general senior unsecured obligations and will be (i) senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer's future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes (including the Issuer's 3.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 and 2.500% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029); (iii) effectively subordinated to any of the Issuer's future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and obligations (including debt and trade payables) of the Issuer's subsidiaries.

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2026. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. Before February 1, 2031, noteholders will have the right to exchange their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after February 1, 2031, noteholders may exchange their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Issuer will settle exchanges by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("common stock"), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Issuer's election. The initial exchange rate is 17.9352 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial exchange price of approximately $55.76 per share of common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the exchange rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Issuer's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 6, 2028 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the exchange price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Issuer sends the related notice of redemption; and (ii) the trading day immediately preceding the date the Issuer sends such notice of redemption. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, if the Issuer issues a notice of redemption and a noteholder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such notice of redemption (but only with respect to the Notes called for redemption), the Issuer will, under certain circumstances, increase the exchange rate for such Notes so surrendered for exchange.

If certain corporate events that constitute a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders may require the Issuer to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (unless the fundamental change repurchase 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 Issuer will instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record on such regular record date, and the fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased). The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to common stock (it being agreed that, if the common stock is listed or admitted or approved for trading on any Designated Exchange, (as defined in the Indenture) a Fundamental Change will not occur under the de-listing clause).

The Notes will have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of "Events of Default" (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) a default in the Issuer's obligation to exchange a Note upon the exercise of the exchange right with respect thereto, if such default is not cured within ten business days after its occurrence; (iii) the Issuer's failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iv) the Issuer's failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the Issuer's ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or otherwise combine with another person, or the Company's failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the Company's ability to engage in any specified corporate event the reference property for which includes common equity; (v) a default by the Issuer in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (vi) certain defaults by the Company, the Issuer or any significant subsidiary with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $100,000,000; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company, the Issuer or any significant subsidiary.

If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Issuer occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to the Issuer, or noteholders of at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Issuer to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders 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 Event of Default and 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding from the 181st day to, and including, the 360th day following the occurrence of such Event of Default.

The above description of the Indenture and the Notes is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Indenture and the form of the certificate representing the Notes are filed as exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes set forth in such exhibits.

In addition, on October 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), between the Company and the representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes, providing for the registration of all shares (the "Exchange Shares") of common stock issued upon exchange of the Notes. If a "Registration Default" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, the Issuer will pay additional interest on the Notes outstanding at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum under the circumstances and during the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement (either on Form S-1 or Form S-3, as applicable, each a "Shelf Registration Statement") for resale of the Exchange Shares, no later than January 31, 2026 (the "Filing Deadline"), and to include in such registration statement all Exchange Shares. In addition, the Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after filing, but generally no later than (i) 5 business days after the Company is notified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that the Shelf Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review or (ii) 90 days after the earlier of the date that the Shelf Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and the Filing Deadline, if the Shelf Registration Statement is reviewed by, and the Company receives comments from, the Commission. The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) all registrable securities covered by such registration statement shall have been disposed of, (ii) the first date on which no holder beneficially owns any registrable securities covered by such registration statement and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of common stock included in the prospectus filed with such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary indemnification of the holders in respect of the Shelf Registration Statement.

The above description of the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms Registration Rights Agreement set forth in such exhibit.

**Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

**Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Notes were issued to the initial purchasers in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in transactions not involving any public offering. The Notes were resold by the initial purchasers to persons whom the initial purchasers reasonably believe are "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Any shares of common stock that may be issued upon exchange of the Notes will be issued in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. A maximum of 32,059,170 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued upon exchange of the Notes, based on the initial maximum exchange rate of 24.6609 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Partnership 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 this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the general partner of the Partnership who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Partnership, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the general partner of the Partnership; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Partnership by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be an Officer of the general partner of the Partnership, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an Officer.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof shall

(if so required by the Partnership, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Partnership, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar for any registration of transfer of Notes or exchange of Notes for other Notes, but the Partnership or the Trustee may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required by law or permitted pursuant to ‎Section 14.02(d) or ‎Section 14.02(e).

None of the Partnership, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, such portion thereof surrendered for exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with ‎Article 15 or (iii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for redemption in accordance with ‎Article 16.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Every Note that bears or is required under this **‎**Section 2.05(b) to bear the legend set forth in this **‎**Section 2.05(b) (together with any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange of the Notes and required to bear the applicable legend set forth in **‎**Section 2.05(c), collectively, the "**Restricted Securities**") shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this **‎**Section 2.05(b) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Partnership, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this **‎**Section 2.05(b) and **‎**Section 2.05(c), the term "**transfer**" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions and legends set forth in this **‎**Section 2.05(b) shall not

be applicable to any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange of the Notes (which such restrictions and legends are set forth in **‎**Section 2.05(c)).

IN CANADA, UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER CANADIAN SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF: (I) THE DATE ON WHICH THE SECURITY IS ISSUED; AND (II) THE DATE GALAXY DIGITAL HOLDINGS LP BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA. ANY PERSON ACQUIRING THE NOTES WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT THAT IT IS NOT ACQUIRING THE NOTES WITH A VIEW TO ANY RESALE, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES, OR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED OR DELIVERED UPON EXCHANGE OF THE NOTES, IN VIOLATION OF CANADIAN SECURITIES LAWS OR AS PART OF ANY TRANSACTION OR SERIES OF TRANSACTIONS THAT IS PART OF A PLAN OR SCHEME TO AVOID THE PROSPECTUS REQUIREMENTS IN

CONNECTION WITH A DISTRIBUTION TO A PERSON OR COMPANY IN CANADA, AND EITHER: (1) SUCH PERSON IS NOT A RESIDENT OF CANADA AND HAS NO PRESENT INTENTION TO BECOME A RESIDENT OF CANADA AND THE PURCHASE BY AND SALE TO THE PERSON OF THE NOTES, AND ANY ACT, SOLICITATION, CONDUCT OR NEGOTIATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH PURCHASE OR SALE HAS OCCURRED ONLY IN A JURISDICTION OUTSIDE CANADA, OR (2) THE PERSON IS (A) AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" WITHIN THE MEANING OF NI 45-106 OR SECTION 73.3 OF THE SECURITIES ACT (ONTARIO), AS APPLICABLE, (B) IF AN INDIVIDUAL, A "PERMITTED CLIENT" WITHIN THE MEANING OF NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 31-103 – REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS, EXEMPTIONS AND ONGOING REGISTRANT OBLIGATIONS, (C) NOT A PERSON CREATED OR USED SOLELY TO PURCHASE OR HOLD SECURITIES AS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR AS DE-SCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (M) OF THE DEFINITION OF "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" IN SECTION 1.1 OF NI 45-106, AND (D) PURCHASING THE NOTES AS PRINCIPAL, OR DEEMED TO BE PURCHASING THE NOTES AS PRINCIPAL PURSUANT TO NI 45-106.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this ‎Section 2.05(b)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global Note in certificated form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with Applicable Procedures and in compliance with this ‎Section 2.05(b).

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Partnership initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as the "**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 Cede & Co.

If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) the Depositary (i) notifies the Partnership 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 or (ii) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and a beneficial owner of any Note requests through the Depositary that its beneficial interest therein be issued in a Certificated Note,

the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver Certificated 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.

Certificated Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this ‎Section 2.05(b) 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 Certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Certificated Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been exchanged, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Applicable 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 Certificated Notes, exchanged, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Certificated Notes therefor or any Certificated Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the Applicable 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 Partnership, the Trustee and any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability 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. None of the Partnership and the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any shares of Common Stock are issued or delivered upon exchange of the Notes, any stock certificate representing such shares of Common Stock shall bear a legend in the following form (unless (x) such shares of Common Stock have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, (y) such shares of Common Stock have been transferred pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act or (z) otherwise agreed by Pubco in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND MAY NOT

BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF GALAXY DIGITAL INC. (THE "COMPANY") THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF (INCLUDING GALAXY DIGITAL
HOLDINGS LP), OR

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144
(IF AVAILABLE) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMMON STOCK RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

*[The following Canadian legends apply to shares of Common Stock issued in Canada upon exchange of Notes]:*

IN CANADA, UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER CANADIAN SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUANCE THEREOF.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE ("TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID

SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT "GOOD DELIVERY" IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.

*[Provided the second Canadian legend may be removed at such time as the first Canadian legend is no longer required or the shares of Common Stock are not listed on the TSX.]*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In addition to bearing any applicable legend set forth in this **‎**Section 2.05, any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon the exchange of a Note that is purchased or owned by an Affiliate of Pubco (or any Person who was an Affiliate of Pubco at any time during the three months preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate 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 shares of Common Stock no longer being a "restricted security" (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.06. *Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.* In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Partnership in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Partnership, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Partnership, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Partnership and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Partnership or the Trustee may require the payment

by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature, is subject to Redemption, or has been surrendered for repurchase or is about to be exchanged in accordance with ‎Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Partnership, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such payment or exchange, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Partnership, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Partnership, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. *Temporary Notes.* Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes, the Partnership may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Partnership, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Certificated Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Partnership. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Partnership and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Certificated Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Partnership shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Certificated Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Partnership pursuant to ‎Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Partnership at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all

respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Certificated Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. *Cancellation of Notes Paid, Exchanged, Etc.* The Partnership shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled), registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of ‎Section 14.02(j)), if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Partnership's agents or Subsidiaries), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding for purposes of this Indenture upon their payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of ‎Section 14.02(j)). All Notes delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall be cancelled promptly by it. No Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled, except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Partnership or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a purchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. *CUSIP Numbers.* The Partnership in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee may use "CUSIP" numbers in 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 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 Partnership shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

Section 2.10. *Additional Notes; Purchases*. (a) The Partnership may, subject to applicable stock exchange rules, from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders, issue additional Notes under this Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the Issue Date (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price, the date from which interest will accrue, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes, the initial Interest Payment Date and restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional Notes, including the date by which any restrictive legends are required to be removed) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; *provided* that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers or have no CUSIP number. Such Notes issued on the Issue Date and the additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Partnership 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 17.06, as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Partnership may, to the extent permitted by law and without the consent of Holders, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Partnership), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Partnership 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 derivatives. The Partnership shall cause any Notes so repurchased (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with **‎**Section 2.08, and they will no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon this repurchase.

Article 3<br> Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 3.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture and the Notes shall upon request of the Partnership contained in an Officer's Certificate cease to be of further effect (except as set forth in the last paragraph of this ‎Section 3.01), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Partnership, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (x) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in ‎Section 2.06 and (y) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or segregated and held in trust by the Partnership and thereafter repaid to the Partnership or discharged from such trust, as provided in ‎Section 4.04(d)) have been delivered to the Note Registrar for cancellation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Partnership has deposited with the Trustee or delivered to Holders, as applicable, after all of the outstanding Notes have (1) become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, upon Redemption or at any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and/or (2) have been exchanged (and the related Settlement Amounts have been determined), cash or cash and/or shares of Common Stock (solely to satisfy the Partnership's Exchange Obligations), as applicable, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and/or satisfy all exchanges, as the case may be, and pay all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Partnership; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Partnership has delivered to the 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 this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Partnership to the Trustee under ‎Section 7.06 and, if cash or shares of Common Stock shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to ‎Section 3.01(i)(B), ‎Section 4.04 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Article 4<br> Particular Covenants of the Partnership and Pubco

Section 4.01. Payment of Principal, Settlement Amounts and Interest. The Partnership shall pay or cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange of, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, Settlement Amounts and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Partnership, holds as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Partnership in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, Settlement Amounts and interest then due. Unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee, the Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

The Partnership shall pay interest on overdue principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and overdue Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, at the rate equal to the interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Partnership shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for payment, redemption or repurchase ("**Paying Agent**") or for exchange ("**Exchange Agent**") and where notices and demands to or upon the Partnership in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Partnership shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. The Partnership shall, at all times, maintain an office or agency in the continental United States to serve as the Partnership's Paying Agent and Exchange Agent for the Notes. If at any time the Partnership 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 of the Trustee.

The Partnership may also from time to time designate 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. Further, if at any time there shall be no such office or agency in the continental United States where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, the Partnership shall forthwith designate and maintain such an office or agency in the continental United States, in order that the Notes shall at all times be payable in the continental United States. The Partnership shall 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 "**Exchange Agent**" include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

The Partnership hereby appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Exchange Agent and designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Partnership.

Section 4.03. *Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee's Office.* The Partnership, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in ‎Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.04. *Provisions as to Paying Agent.* (a) If the Partnership shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Partnership will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this ‎Section 4.04:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Partnership to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Partnership shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they include cash, 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 Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), cash portion of the Settlement Amounts 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 Partnership to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, the Settlement Amounts owed on exchange to the extent they

include cash, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Anything in this **‎**Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Partnership may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid, issue or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Partnership or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this **‎**Section 4.04, such sums or amounts to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment, issuance or delivery by the Partnership or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Partnership or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

Section 4.05. [Reserved.]

Section 4.06. *Rule 144A Information Requirement; Reporting; and Registration Default Additional Interest*. (a) For as long as any Notes are outstanding hereunder, (i) the Partnership shall, and (ii) for so long as any shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes shall, at such time, constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, Pubco shall, in each case, furnish to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, furnish to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of such Notes, the information with respect to itself required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to Rule 144A (as such rule may be amended from time to time); *provided* that any such information relating to the Partnership or Pubco, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be furnished to the Trustee and such Holders, beneficial owners or prospective purchasers if during the preceding 12 months Pubco has filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K or other report or filing (which may include a registration statement) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Commission, in each case containing information regarding the Partnership and Pubco of the nature and type contemplated by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (which shall be deemed satisfied with respect to information regarding the Partnership so long as (x) such report or filing contains such

required information relating to Pubco and (y) the combined or consolidated financial statements of Pubco included in such report or filing consolidate or otherwise include the accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated Subsidiaries, and explain in reasonable detail any differences between the information relating to Pubco, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Partnership, on the other hand).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Partnership shall furnish to the Trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule under the Exchange Act), copies of any documents or reports that Pubco is required to file with the 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Partnership shall in no event be required to file with, or otherwise provide or disclose to, the Trustee or any Holder any information for which Pubco is requesting (assuming such request has not been denied), or has received, confidential treatment from the Commission, and (ii) any such document or report that Pubco files with the Commission via the Commission's EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be furnished to the Trustee for purposes of, and in full satisfaction of the Partnership's obligations under, this **‎**Section 4.06(b) as of the time such document is filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in **‎**Section 4.06(a) and **‎**(b) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Partnership's compliance with any of the Partnership's covenants under this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer's Certificate). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Partnership's compliance with such covenants or to determine whether any reports or other documents have been filed with the Commission or via the Commission's EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) or posted on any website, or to participate in any conference calls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to **‎**Section 4.06(f) and **‎**Section 6.03(b), if a Registration Default occurs under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Partnership shall pay the Registration Default Additional Interest in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [*Reserved*.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Registration Default Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes and shall be in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue, at the Partnership's election, as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with the Partnership's obligations under **‎**Section 4.06(b). In no event, however, will Additional Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Additional Interest payable as

described in **‎**Section 4.06(d) or **‎**Section 6.03(a)) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If Additional Interest is payable by the Partnership pursuant to **‎**Section 4.06(d) or **‎**Section 6.03(a), the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable.

Section 4.07. *No Rights as Stockholders or Unitholders.* Holders of Notes, as such, will not have any rights as stockholders of Pubco or as unitholders of the Partnership (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on Common Stock).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025), an Officer's Certificate stating whether the signers thereof have knowledge of any Default that occurred during the previous year and is then continuing and, if so, specifying each such failure and the nature thereof and what action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Partnership shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate within 30 days after an Officer of the general partner of the Partnership becomes aware of the occurrence of any event that would constitute a Default or Event of Default, specifying each such event, the status thereof and what action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. In case 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 6.01(h) or ‎Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Partnership), either the Trustee by notice in writing to the Partnership, or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Partnership and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in ‎Section 6.01(h) or ‎Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Partnership 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default or Event of Default can be cured,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a Default consisting of a failure to send a notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be cured upon the sending of such notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any failure by the Partnership to provide any notice (other than a notice referred to in ‎Section 6.01(d)) shall be subject to ‎Section 6.01(f) (including the 60-day cure period contained therein);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Note shall be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with Default Interest thereon; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) a Default that is (or, after notice, passage of time or both, would be) a Default relating to the Partnership's failure to comply with its reporting obligations as set forth in ‎Section 4.06(b) shall be cured upon the filing of the relevant report(s) giving rise to such Default (it being understood that any report filed with the Commission through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor)).

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default shall result from such Default, and if an Event of Default is cured (including, for the avoidance of doubt, after any cure or grace period specified for the relevant Event of Default) or waived before any related notice of acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Notes shall not be subject to acceleration on account of such Default.

Section 6.03. Additional Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Partnership elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Partnership's failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in **‎**Section 4.06(b) shall, after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes (subject to **‎**Section 4.06(f) and **‎**Section 6.03(b)) at a rate equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 180th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if such Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived prior to the 181st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred, 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the 181st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of

Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 360th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to **‎**Section 6.03(a) above shall be in addition to any Registration Default Additional Interest that may accrue pursuant to **‎**Section 4.06(d). Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event, however, shall Additional Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Additional Interest payable pursuant to **‎**Section 6.03(a) above, together with Registration Default Additional Interest payable pursuant to **‎**Section 4.06(d)) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Partnership elects to pay Additional Interest pursuant to **‎**Section 6.03(a), such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes and will accrue on all Notes then outstanding from, and including, the date on which the Event of Default relating to the Partnership's failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in **‎**Section 4.06(b) first occurs to, but not including, the 361st day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding). On the 361st day after such Event of Default (if such Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in **‎**Section 6.02. In the event the Partnership does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default relating to the Partnership's failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in **‎**Section 4.06(b) in accordance with this **‎**Section 6.03, or the Partnership has elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall immediately be subject to acceleration as provided in **‎**Section 6.02. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this **‎**Section 6.03 shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Partnership's failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in **‎**Section 4.06(b), the Partnership must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. Upon the Partnership's failure to timely give such notice or pay Additional Interest, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in **‎**Section 6.02.

Section 6.04. *Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.* If an Event of Default described in clause ‎(a), ‎(b) or ‎(c) of ‎Section 6.01 shall have occurred and the Notes have become due and payable pursuant to ‎Section 6.02, the Partnership shall, upon demand of the Trustee, 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 (including the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest, if

any, with (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) interest on any such overdue amounts, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under ‎Section 7.06. If the Partnership 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 Partnership or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Partnership 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 Partnership under Bankruptcy Law, 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 Partnership, or the property of the Partnership, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership, or to the creditors or property of the Partnership, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 6.04, 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable, issuable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under ‎Section 7.06; 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 in respect of claims of the 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 any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under ‎Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances 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.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder

thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the 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 shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the 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 shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver, rescission or annulment pursuant to ‎Section 6.09 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Partnership, the Holders, and the 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 Partnership, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05. *Application of Monies Collected by Trustee.* Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this ‎Article 6 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, 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 under ‎Section 7.06;

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, the Redemption Price (if applicable) and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (if applicable) of, and/or satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes; and

THIRD: to the Partnership.

Section 6.06. *Proceedings by Holders.* Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment and/or issuance or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange of any Note, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or

with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of such security or indemnity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use prejudices the rights of another Holder or obtains a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07. *Proceedings by Trustee.* In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this 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 this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08. *Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.* Except as provided in the last paragraph of ‎Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this ‎Article 6 to the 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 or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the 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 6.06, every power and remedy given by this ‎Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09. *Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 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 exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; *provided*, *however*, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture, it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 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 rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences hereunder except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a default in the payment of the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a failure by the Partnership to deliver the consideration due upon exchange of the Notes; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) with respect to a Default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under ***‎***Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder;

*provided* that, in the case of the rescission of any acceleration with respect to the Notes, (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration) have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.

Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this ‎Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this 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 6.10. *Notice of Defaults.* If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (as provided in ‎Section 7.02(j)), the Trustee shall send to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if it is not

actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note or a Default in the payment, issuance or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange, 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.

Section 6.11. *Undertaking to Pay Costs.* All parties to this 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 this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, 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 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% 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 (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being redeemed or repurchased as provided in this Indenture) or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the payment, issuance or delivery of consideration due upon exchange.

Article 7<br> Concerning the Trustee

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions

that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any such certificates and opinions, including mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or its own fraud, except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection ***‎***(a) of this Section;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in ***‎***Section 8.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this **‎**Section 7.01.

Section 7.02. Certain Rights of the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Partnership mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Partnership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and require an Opinion of Counsel and any advice of such counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through duly authorized agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) the Trustee may request that the Partnership deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual written knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Partnership or by any Holder of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Partnership or any Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) or any records maintained by any co-Note Registrar with respect to the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred, unless such Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) in the absence of written investment direction from the Partnership, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses, fees, taxes or other charges incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Partnership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this **‎**Article 7 shall also be afforded to the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) subject to this **‎**Article 7, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability and expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) The Partnership agrees that (i) if reasonably requested by The Bank of New York Mellon in any of its capacities hereunder (for purposes of this paragraph, "Trustee") and required by FATCA, in relation to a payment made under this Indenture and the Notes issued hereunder, the Partnership will provide such information if and to the extent that (A) such information is reasonably necessary for the Trustee to determine that it is in compliance with FATCA as relates to the payments made under this Indenture and the Notes issued hereunder and (B) such information is available to the Partnership using its commercially reasonable efforts, is with regard to the Partnership and its

Subsidiaries and relates to the requirements of FATCA that are actually imposed upon such requesting Trustee; *provided*, *however*, that clause **‎**(i) shall apply only with respect to payments made with respect to Certificated Notes and the Partnership shall not have any obligation to provide any such information requested pursuant to clause **‎**(i) if unrelated to a payment made with respect to Certificated Notes or if the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is prohibited legally from disclosing such information, and (ii) the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with FATCA for which the Trustee shall have no liability and shall have no obligation to gross-up any payment under this Indenture or to pay any additional amount as a result of such FATCA withholding tax.

Section 7.03. *No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc.* The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee's certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Partnership, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Partnership of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.04. *Trustee, Paying Agents, Exchange Agents or Note Registrar May Own Notes.* The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Exchange Agent, the Custodian or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Exchange Agent, Custodian or Note Registrar.

Section 7.05. *Monies To Be Held in Trust.* All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or as expressly provided herein. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Partnership and the Trustee.

Section 7.06. *Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.* The Partnership covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Partnership, and the Partnership will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by the Trustee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Partnership shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this ‎Section 7.06 shall include its officers, directors,

employees and agents) in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including court costs) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or fraud (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Partnership, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder or of enforcing this Indenture against the Partnership (including this ‎Section 7.06). The obligations of the Partnership under this ‎Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of ‎Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee's right to receive payment of any amounts due under this ‎Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Partnership. The obligations of the Partnership under this ‎Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, final payment of the Notes and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Partnership need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this ‎Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in ‎Section 6.01(h) or ‎Section 6.01(i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.07. *Officer's Certificate as Evidence.* Except as otherwise provided in ‎Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct and fraud on the part of the Trustee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer's Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct and fraud on the part of the Trustee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. *Eligibility of Trustee.* There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined

capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this ‎Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the 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 this ‎Article 7.

Section 7.09. *Resignation or Removal of Trustee.* The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Partnership and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Partnership shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Partnership, upon ten Business Days' notice to the Partnership and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of ‎Section 6.11, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with ***‎***Section 7.13 within a reasonable time after written request therefor by the Partnership or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of ***‎***Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Partnership or by any such Holder, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, the Partnership may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of ‎Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor

trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Partnership of such nomination the Partnership objects thereto. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after removal of the Trustee by the Holders, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Partnership, upon ten Business Days' notice to the Partnership and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this **‎**Section 7.09 shall become effective upon (i) payment of all fees and expenses owing to the Trustee and (ii) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in **‎**Section 7.10.

Section 7.10. *Acceptance by Successor Trustee.* Any successor trustee appointed as provided in ‎Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Partnership or of the successor trustee, the predecessor trustee shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Partnership shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such pursuant to this Indenture, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this ‎Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of ‎Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this ‎Section 7.10, each of the Partnership and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Partnership shall send or cause to be sent notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Partnership fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Partnership.

Section 7.11. *Succession by Merger, Etc.* Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the 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 in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of ‎Section 7.08.

Section 7.12. *Trustee's Application for Instructions from the Partnership.* Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Partnership (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than ten Business Days after the date any Officer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.13. *Conflicting Interests of Trustee.* If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.14. *Limitation on Trustee's Liability.* Except as provided in this Article, in accepting the trusts hereby created, the entities acting as Trustee are acting

solely as Trustee hereunder and not in their individual capacity and, except as provided in this Article, all Persons having any claim against the Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or any Note shall look only to the Partnership for payment or satisfaction thereof.

Article 8<br> Concerning the Holders

Section 8.01. *Action by Holders.* Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (i) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (ii) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held, or (iii) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Partnership or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Partnership or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02. *Proof of Execution by Holders.* Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 7.01 and ‎Section 7.02, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

Section 8.03. *Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.* The Partnership, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Exchange Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Partnership or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to ‎Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for exchange of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Partnership nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Exchange Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid, issued or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares issuable or deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Partnership, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other

Person, such holder's right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04. *Partnership-Owned Notes Disregarded.* In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Partnership or by any Affiliate of the Partnership shall be disregarded (from both the numerator and the denominator) and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; *provided* that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this ‎Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Partnership or any Affiliate of the Partnership. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Upon the written request of the Partnership, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to ‎Section 10.05, the Trustee shall join with the Partnership in the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver unless such amendment, supplement or waiver adversely affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Holders do not need under this ‎Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Partnership shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. 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 amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Partnership shall not consolidate with or merge with or into or otherwise combine with another Person, unless:

Article 13<br> [Intentionally Omitted]

Article 14<br> Exchange of Notes

Section 14.01. Exchange Privilege.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this **‎**Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to exchange all or any portion in an Authorized Denomination of such Note:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 February 1, 2031, under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in ***‎***Section 14.01(b); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) on or after February 1, 2031, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

in each case, at an initial exchange rate of 17.9352 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in **‎**Section 14.04 and, if applicable, **‎**Section 14.03, the "**Exchange Rate**") per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of **‎**Section 14.02, the "**Exchange Obligation**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2031, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time during the five Business Day period 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 request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures and conditions described below in 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 per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on each such Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Partnership) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes unless the Partnership has requested such determination, and the Partnership shall have no obligation to make such

request (or, if the Partnership is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Partnership shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes requests in writing that the Partnership makes such a determination and provides the Partnership 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 per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day. At such time, the Partnership shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Partnership) to determine, or if the Partnership is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Partnership shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day following the receipt of such evidence 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 per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) If the Trading Price condition has been met, the Partnership shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition has been met, 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 per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day, the Partnership shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) If the Partnership does not, when it is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to (or, if the Partnership is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it does not) obtain bids, or if the Partnership gives such instruction to the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination (or, if the Partnership is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it fails to make such determination), then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2031, Pubco elects to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending

on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets, securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase securities (in each case, other than any distribution pursuant to a shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by Pubco, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution,

then, in either case, the Partnership shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) at least 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Partnership has given such notice, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange 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) Pubco's announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

No Holder may exchange any of its Notes pursuant to this ‎Section 14.01(b)(ii) if such Holder otherwise participates in such issuance or distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding Notes, without having to exchange its Notes as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the applicable Exchange Rate *multiplied by* (y) the number of Notes in the Authorized Denomination held by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2031:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) a transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) Pubco is a party to a Specified Corporate Event,

then, in each case, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time from or after the open of business on the Business Day immediately following the day Pubco publicly announces such transaction (even if such transaction has not yet occurred) until the close of business on the 35th Trading Day immediately following the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than a Fundamental Change for which the Partnership validly invokes the Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions), until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

The Partnership shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the effective date of any such transaction as promptly as practicable following the date Pubco publicly announces such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2031, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Exchange Price on each applicable Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) If the Partnership calls the Notes for Redemption pursuant to ***‎***Section 16.01, Holders may exchange any or all of their Notes called for Redemption (and only the Notes called for Redemption) at any time from, and including, the Redemption Notice Date until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, or, if the Partnership fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Partnership pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon exchange of such Notes to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause a violation of the Ownership Limitations. Any purported issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such issuance or delivery would result in a violation of the Ownership Limitations. If any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon exchange of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the limitations described in this paragraph, the Partnership's obligation to make such issuance or delivery shall not be extinguished, and the Partnership shall issue or deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after the applicable Holder gives notice to the Partnership and the Partnership determines that such issuance or delivery would not result in a violation of the Ownership Limitations.

Section 14.02. Exchange Procedure; Settlement Upon Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to this **‎**Section 14.02, **‎**Section 14.03(b) and **‎**Section 14.07(a), upon exchange of any Note, the Partnership shall, at its election, pay, issue or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder, in full satisfaction of its Exchange Obligation, cash ("**Cash Settlement**"), shares of Common Stock ("**Physical Settlement**") or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock ("**Combination Settlement**"), as set forth in this **‎**Section 14.02.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) All exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 1, 2031, and all exchanges occurring after the date of the

Partnership's issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, shall be settled using the same Settlement Method (including the same relative proportion of cash and/or shares of Common Stock). Except for any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 1, 2031, or after the date of the Partnership's issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, the Partnership shall use the same Settlement Method (including the same relative proportion of cash and/or shares of Common Stock) for all exchanges with the same Exchange Date, but the Partnership shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to exchanges with different Exchange Dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the Partnership elects a Settlement Method, the Partnership shall deliver notice to Holders through the Exchange Agent of such Settlement Method the Partnership has selected no later than the close of business on the VWAP Trading Day immediately following the related Exchange Date (or (i) in the case of any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 1, 2031, no later than February 1, 2031 or (ii) in the case of any exchanges occurring after the date of issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, in such Notice of Redemption). If the Partnership does not timely elect a Settlement Method, the Partnership shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement with respect to that Exchange Date and the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement in respect of its Exchange Obligation. If the Partnership elects Combination Settlement in respect of any exchange but does not specify in its election a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock payable, issuable or deliverable by the Partnership in respect of any exchange of Notes (the "**Settlement Amount**") shall be computed by the Partnership as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) if the Partnership elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Physical Settlement, the Partnership shall issue or deliver to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate on the Exchange Date (*plus* cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if the Partnership elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Cash Settlement, the Partnership shall pay to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily

Exchange Values for each of the 40 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if the Partnership elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Combination Settlement, the Partnership shall pay, issue or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period (*plus* cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange).

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at any one time by the same Holder, the Exchange Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Partnership may, prior to February 1, 2031, at its option, irrevocably fix any Settlement Method that it is then permitted to elect hereunder for all exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs subsequent to such notice, including Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of $1,000, or with an ability to continue to set a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above a specific amount set forth in such written notice. Such election must be made by delivering written notice of such election to the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent. Following such irrevocable election, the Partnership will not have the right to change the Settlement Method.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Exchange Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Partnership promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares, the Partnership shall notify the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares. The Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (i) To exchange a beneficial interest in a Global Note (which exchange is irrevocable), the holder of such beneficial interest must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) comply with the Applicable Procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in ‎Section 14.02(g); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if the holder of such beneficial interest is a resident of Canada or has a present intention to become a resident of Canada, notify the Partnership and Pubco and represent that such holder is (a) an "accredited investor" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 - *Prospectus Exemptions* ("**NI 45-106**") or Section 73.3 of the *Securities Act* (Ontario), as applicable, (b) if an individual, a "permitted client" within the meaning of National Instrument 31-103 – *Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations*, and (c) not a person created or used solely to purchase or hold securities as an accredited investor as described in paragraph (m) of the definition of "accredited investor" in Section 1.1 of NI 45-106; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To exchange a Certificated Note, the Holder must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (or a facsimile thereof) (a "**Notice of Exchange**") and such Note to the Exchange Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in ‎Section 14.02(g).

The Trustee (and if different, the Exchange Agent) shall notify the Partnership of any exchange pursuant to this ‎Article 14 on the Exchange Date for such exchange.

If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for exchange until such Holder has validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of a Global Note, has complied with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal) in accordance with the terms of ‎Section 15.03. If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, such Holder's right to withdraw such notice and exchange the Notes that are subject to repurchase will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the Partnership has designated a Redemption Date pursuant to ‎Section 16.02, a Holder that complies with the requirements for exchange set forth in this ‎Section 14.02(b) shall be deemed to have delivered a notice of its election not to have its Notes so redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the "**Exchange Date**") that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in **‎**Section 14.02(b) above.

Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 14.03(b) and ‎Section 14.07(a), the Partnership shall pay, issue or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount due in respect of the Exchange Obligation on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date, if the Partnership elects (or is deemed to have elected) Physical Settlement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, if the Partnership elects Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement,

*provided* that with respect to exchanges for which Physical Settlement is applicable and the relevant Exchange Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, such settlement shall occur on the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day).

If any shares of Common Stock are due to exchanging Holders, the Partnership shall cause to be issued or delivered to such Holder, or such Holder's nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary, as the case may be, for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Partnership's Exchange Obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In case any Certificated Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, in an Authorized Denomination, the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder so surrendered a new Note or Notes in an Authorized Denomination in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Partnership or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any 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 exchange being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, the Partnership shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon exchange of such Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian of the Global Note at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation in the books and records of the Trustee and Depositary as to the reduction in the principal

amount represented thereby. The Partnership shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchange of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Upon exchange of a Note, the exchanging Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth in the paragraph below. The Partnership's payment or issuance or delivery, as the case may be, of the Settlement Amount upon exchange of any Note 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 Exchange Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon an exchange of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such exchange.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if Notes are exchanged after the close of business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes at 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 exchange. Notes surrendered for exchange 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 interest payable on the Notes so exchanged on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); *provided* that no such payment need be made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if the Notes are surrendered for exchange following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the Notes are subject to Redemption by the Partnership on a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if the Partnership has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note.

Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date as described in clause (ii) above and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as described in clause (iii) above shall receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged following such Regular Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Subject to **‎**Section 14.02(c), the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange is registered shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on (i) the relevant Exchange Date if the Partnership elects (or is deemed to have elected) Physical Settlement or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period if the Partnership elects Combination Settlement. Upon an exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange; *provided* that (A) the exchanging Holder shall have the right to receive the Settlement Amount due upon exchange and (B) in the case of an exchange between a Regular Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall have the right to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, in accordance with **‎**Section 14.02(g).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Partnership shall not issue or deliver any fractional shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange in an amount based on (i) the Daily VWAP on the relevant Exchange Date if the Partnership elects (or is deemed to have elected) Physical Settlement or (ii) the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period if the Partnership elects Combination Settlement. For each Note surrendered for exchange, if the Partnership has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issued or delivered upon exchange thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and, if applicable, any fractional shares of Common Stock remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Subject to applicable securities laws, upon surrender by a Holder of its Notes for exchange, the Partnership may, at its election (an "**Exchange Election**"), direct the Exchange Agent to surrender, on or prior to the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Partnership has elected Physical Settlement, on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date), such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Partnership (the "**Designated Financial Institution**") for third party exchange in lieu of exchange by the Partnership. In order to accept any Notes surrendered to the Partnership for exchange, the Designated Financial Institution must agree to pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, all of the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof due upon exchange, all as provided in **‎**Section 14.02(a) (the "**Exchange Consideration**"). By the close of business on the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Partnership has elected Physical Settlement, by the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date; *provided*, that with respect to exchanges for which Physical Settlement is applicable and the relevant Exchange Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, such settlement shall occur on the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day)), the Partnership shall notify the Holder surrendering Notes for exchange that the Partnership has directed the Designated Financial Institution to make a third party exchange in lieu of an exchange by the Partnership.

If the Designated Financial Institution accepts any Notes as described above, it will pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof due upon exchange to such Holder on the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Partnership has elected Physical Settlement, on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date; *provided* that with respect to exchanges for which Physical Settlement is applicable and the relevant Exchange Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, such settlement shall occur on the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day)). Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Financial Institution shall remain outstanding. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver the related cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, as the case may be, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Partnership shall exchange the Notes and pay and/or cause to be issued or delivered, as the case may be, the cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof due upon exchange on the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (or, if the Partnership has elected Physical Settlement, on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date) as described in ‎Section 14.02.

The Partnership's designation of a Designated Financial Institution does not require such Designated Financial Institution to accept any Notes (unless such Designated Financial Institution has separately made an agreement with the Partnership). The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with any Designated Financial Institution that would compensate it for any such transaction.

Section 14.03. Increase in Exchange Rate Upon Exchange in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Partnership shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the "**Additional Shares**"), as described below. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be "in connection with" such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for (x) the *proviso* in clause (b) of the definition thereof or (y) the Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the "**Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon surrender of Notes for exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Partnership shall, at its option, satisfy its Exchange Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with

**‎**Section 14.02 (after giving effect to any increase in the Exchange Rate required by this **‎**Section 14.03); *provided*, *however*, that, if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any exchange of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Exchange Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of exchanged Notes equal to (i) the Exchange Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional Shares as described in this **‎**Section 14.03), *multiplied by* (ii) such Stock Price. In such event, the Exchange Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Exchange Date. The Partnership shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date (the "**Make-Whole Fundamental Change Company Notice**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Exchange 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**") and the price (the "**Stock Price**") paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal (i) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, *multiplied by* (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Exchange Rate as set forth in **‎**Section 14.04.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this **‎**Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact Stock Price and/or Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $350.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Exchange Rate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $40.55 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Exchange Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 24.6609 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Exchange Rate pursuant to ‎Section 14.04.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Nothing in this **‎**Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to **‎**Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04. Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Partnership if any of the following events occurs, except that the Partnership shall not make any adjustments to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Notes 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 Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this ‎Section 14.04, without having to exchange their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Exchange Rate, *multiplied by* (ii) the number of Notes in the Authorized Denomination held by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If Pubco exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if Pubco effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

![](image_001.jpg)

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ER<sub>0</sub> | the Exchange 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 split or share combination, as applicable; |
| ER<sub>1</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable; |
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and |
| OS<sub>1</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. |

---

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 split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this ‎Section 14.04(a) is declared and results in an adjustment under this ‎Section 14.04(a) but is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date Pubco determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If Pubco issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

![](image_002.jpg)

where,

ER<sub>0</sub> = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; <br>ER<sub>1</sub> = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| X | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| Y | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, *divided by* the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock are not issued or delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to the Exchange 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 shares of Common Stock actually issued or delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date Pubco determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exchange 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 ‎Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by Pubco for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or exchange thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Partnership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If Pubco distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) described in ***‎***Section 14.04(a) or ***‎***Section 14.04(b);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in ***‎***Section 14.04(d);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) except in the case of a Separation Event, any dividend or distribution pursuant to a shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan (as described in this ***‎***Section 14.04(c));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any dividends and distributions in connection with a Specified Corporate Event described under ***‎***Section 14.07; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this ***‎***Section 14.04(c) shall apply;

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of Pubco, the "**Distributed Property**"), then the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

![](image_003.jpg)

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ER<sub>0</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| ER<sub>1</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock 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 Partnership taking into account applicable stock exchange rules) of the Distributed Property so distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock 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 Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date Pubco determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if "FMV" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP<sub>0</sub>" (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 Common Stock receive the Distributed Property,

the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange 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 Common Stock of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of Pubco, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a "**Spin-Off**"), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

![](image_004.jpg)

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ER<sub>0</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| ER<sub>1</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| FMV<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in ‎Section 1.01 as if references therein to the Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the "**Valuation Period**"); and |
| MP<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |

---

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be made immediately after the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. Because the Partnership will make the adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Partnership will delay the settlement of any exchange of Notes where the Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the final VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Partnership shall deliver the consideration due upon exchange on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period. If such Spin-Off does not occur, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared, effective as of the date on which Pubco determines not to consummate such Spin-Off.

For purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respects to ‎Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by Pubco to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Pubco's Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("**Trigger Event**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) are not exercisable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock,

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 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 Exchange Rate under this ‎Section 14.04(c) was made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) 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 Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange 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 Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of ‎Section 14.04(a), ‎Section 14.04(b) and this ‎Section 14.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this ‎Section 14.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which ‎Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the "**Clause A Distribution**"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which ‎Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the "**Clause B Distribution**"),

then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) 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 Exchange Rate adjustment required by this ‎Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange 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 Partnership (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 shares of Common Stock 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

ER<sub>1</sub> = ER<sub>0</sub> × SP<sub>0</sub> <br> SP<sub>0</sub> – C

where,

ER<sub>0</sub> = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ER<sub>1</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| SP<sub>0</sub> | the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and |
| C | the amount in cash per share Pubco distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock. |

---

Any adjustment made 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 Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date Pubco determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange 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 "SP<sub>0</sub>" (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 Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock 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 (such date, the "**Expiration Date**"), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

![](image_005.jpg)

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ER<sub>0</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; |
| ER<sub>1</sub> | the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; |
| AC | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Partnership) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the "**Expiration Time**") such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase or exchange of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| OS<sub>1</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| SP<sub>1</sub> | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. |

---

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this ‎Section 14.04(e) shall be made at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. Because the Partnership shall make the adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the end of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date with retroactive effect, the Partnership shall delay the settlement of any exchange of Notes where the Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the final VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. In such event, the Partnership will deliver the consideration due upon exchange on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

In the event that Pubco or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but Pubco or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all or a portion of such purchases are rescinded, then the Exchange Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) [*Reserved.*]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **‎**Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if an Exchange Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date and a Holder that has exchanged 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 shares of Common Stock as of the related Exchange Date as described under **‎**Section 14.02(h) based on an adjusted Exchange Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Exchange Rate adjustment provisions in this **‎**Section 14.04, the

Exchange Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such exchanging Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) All calculations and other determinations under this **‎**Article 14 shall be made by the Partnership (taking into account applicable stock exchange rules) and all adjustments to the Exchange Rate shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Common Stock. In no event will the Exchange Rate be adjusted such that the Exchange Price shall be less than the par value per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this **‎**Article 14 to the contrary, the Partnership shall not be required to adjust the Exchange Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% to the Exchange Rate. However, the Partnership shall carry forward any adjustment that is less than 1% of the Exchange Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried-forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the Issue Date, (ii) in the case of any Note to which Physical Settlement applies, upon the Exchange Date, (iii) in the case of any Note to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, on each VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, (iv) on the date of a Notice of Redemption and (v) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 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 rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, the Partnership from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Partnership determines that such increase would be in the Partnership's and/or Pubco's best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, the Partnership may also (but is not required to) increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to the holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Exchange Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Partnership shall send to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Except as stated herein, the Partnership shall not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **‎**Article 14, the Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on Pubco's securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock 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 Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Partnership);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) for ordinary course of business stock repurchases that are not tender or exchange offers referred to in ***‎***Section 14.04(e), including structured or derivative transactions or pursuant to a repurchase program approved by Pubco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) [*Reserved*.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Exchange Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Exchange 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 Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Partnership shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall send such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of this Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) [*Reserved*.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) For purposes of this **‎**Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Pubco, so long as Pubco does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Pubco, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 14.05. *Adjustments of Prices.* Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Partnership to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption), the Partnership shall make appropriate adjustments, in good faith (taking into account applicable stock exchange rules), to each to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date of the event occurs at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts or Stock Prices are to be calculated.

Section 14.06. *Shares To Be Fully Reserved.* Pubco shall reserve and provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock exchangeable under the Notes (including the maximum number of Additional Shares that could be included in the Exchange Rate for an exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

Section 14.07. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the case of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any consolidation, merger or other combination involving Pubco; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer or disposition to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Pubco, taken as a whole; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a "**Specified Corporate Event**" and any such stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), "**Reference Property**" and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Specified Corporate Event, a "**Unit of Reference Property**"), then the Partnership, or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, will execute with the Trustee, which supplemental indenture shall not require the consent of the Holders, a supplemental indenture providing that, at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event, the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for shares of Common Stock will be

changed into a right to exchange such principal amount of Notes for the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon such Specified Corporate Event; *provided*, *however*, that at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the Partnership shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid, issued or delivered, as the case may be, upon exchange of Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) (1) any amount payable in cash upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (2) any shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the Units of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Specified Corporate Event and (3) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property; *provided*, however, that if the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Specified Corporate Event, then for all exchanges that occur after the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event (x) the consideration due upon exchange of each $1,000 principal aggregate amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to ‎Section 14.03), *multiplied by* the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Specified Corporate Event and (y) the Partnership shall satisfy the Exchange Obligation by paying such cash to the exchanging Holder on the second Business Day immediately following the Exchange Date.

If the Specified Corporate Event causes the Common Stock 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 stockholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Notes shall be exchangeable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the Common Stock. The Partnership shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination.

Such 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 14. If the Reference Property in respect of any Specified Corporate Event includes shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (other than cash) (including any combination thereof) of an entity other than Pubco or the Partnership or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Specified Corporate Event, then such other entity, if it is party to such Specified Corporate Event, shall also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional

provisions to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Partnership to repurchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with ‎Article 15, as the Partnership shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event the Partnership shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to **‎**Section 14.07(a), the Partnership shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer's Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or other assets (including any combination thereof) that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Specified Corporate Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly send notice thereof to all Holders. The Partnership shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be sent to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Notes become exchangeable for Reference Property, the Partnership shall notify the Trustee in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Partnership and Pubco shall not become a party to any Specified Corporate Event unless its terms are consistent with this **‎**Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to exchange its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in **‎**Section 14.01 and **‎**Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Specified Corporate Events.

Section 14.08. Certain Covenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pubco covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange of Notes shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of Pubco and free from all taxes, liens, charges and adverse claims as the result of any action by Pubco.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) [*Reserved*.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Partnership and Pubco shall comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes, including that if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any U.S. federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued or delivered upon exchange, Pubco shall, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Partnership and Pubco further covenant that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any Designated Exchange, Pubco shall list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such Designated Exchange, any Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes.

Section 14.09. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Exchange 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 Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Partnership to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Partnership contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange 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 exchange 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 7.01, 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 Partnership shall be obligated to furnish to the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by ‎Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for exchange or no longer eligible therefor until the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent the notices referred to in ‎Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such exchange rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Exchange Agent may conclusively rely, and the Partnership agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Exchange 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 parties hereto agree that all notices to the Trustee or the Exchange Agent under this ‎Article 14 shall be in writing.

Section 14.10. *[Reserved]*.

Section 14.11. *Stockholder Rights Plans.* If Pubco has a shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan in effect upon exchange of the Notes, Holders that exchange their Notes shall receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock received in connection with such exchange, the appropriate number of rights under such rights

agreement or rights plan, if any, and any certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exchange shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such rights agreement or rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if prior to any exchange, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder's rights agreement or rights plan (a "**Separation Event**"), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if Pubco distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, Distributed Property pursuant to ‎Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Article 15<br> Repurchase of Notes at Option of Holders

Section 15.01. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 15.02. *Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.* (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Partnership to repurchase for cash all of such Holder's Notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to an Authorized Denomination, on the date (the "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Date**") specified by the Partnership that is not less than 20 or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (subject to extension if required to comply with law), at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, *plus* accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Price**"), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase 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 Partnership shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this ‎Article 15.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Repurchase of Notes under this **‎**Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the "**Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice**") in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, or in compliance with the Applicable Procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, to the Paying Agent on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (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 Applicable Procedures, in each case, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) in the case of Certificated Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be a minimum of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Partnership pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

*provided*, *however*, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this ‎Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with ‎Section 15.03.

If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for exchange until such Holder has validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of a Global Note, has complied with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal) in accordance with the terms of ‎Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Partnership of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Partnership shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) a written notice (the "**Fundamental Change Company Notice**") of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this ***‎***Article 15;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Exchange Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) the Exchange Rate and any adjustments to the Exchange Rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be exchanged only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (or, in the case of a Global Note, complies with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Partnership to repurchase their Notes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes.

At the Partnership's written request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Partnership's and Pubco's names and at the Partnership's expense; *provided*, *however*, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Partnership and/or Pubco. In such a case, the Partnership shall deliver such notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the date that the notice is required to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), together with an Officer's Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice.

Such notice shall be delivered to the Trustee, to the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder at its address shown in the Note Register (and to the beneficial owner as required by applicable law) or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

No failure of the Partnership and/or Pubco to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders' repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this ‎Section 15.02.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Partnership on any date at the option of the Holders in connection with 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 Partnership in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Certificated Notes held by it during the acceleration of

the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Partnership in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if 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 Partnership pursuant to this ***‎***Article 15 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 Partnership on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof (or a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (a) that also results in a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (b)), if (A) such Fundamental Change results in the Notes becoming exchangeable (pursuant to the provisions described in ***‎***Section 14.07) into an amount of cash per Note that is greater than (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (assuming the maximum amount of accrued interest would be payable based on the latest possible Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), *plus* (y) to the extent that the 35<sup>th</sup> Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the full amount of interest payable per Note on such Interest Payment Date and (B) the Partnership provides timely notice of the Holders' right to exchange their Notes based on such Fundamental Change as described in ***‎***Section 14.01(b)(iii) (the requirements set forth in clauses ***‎***(A) and ***‎***(B) of this ***‎***Section 15.02(e)(ii), the "**Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions**").

Section 15.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to 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 Repurchase Date, specifying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which portion must be in an Authorized Denomination,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if Certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Notes in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in an Authorized Denomination;

*provided*, *however*, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the withdrawal notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Section 15.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Partnership, or if the Partnership is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in ‎Section 4.04) on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Partnership), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (*provided* 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 Partnership) 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 Note 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 Partnership, return to the Partnership any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Partnership) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any applicable extension thereof, then, with respect to Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any applicable extension thereof (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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (other than (x) the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the right of the Holder on such Regular Record Date to receive the accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to **‎**Section 15.02, the Partnership 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 portion of the Note surrendered that is not to be repurchased, without payment of any service charge.

Section 15.05. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Partnership will, if required:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Partnership to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this ‎Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this ‎Article 15, subject to extension if required to comply with law. To the extent that any securities laws and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the repurchase of Notes, the Partnership is required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Indenture as a result thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Partnership may not redeem the Notes at any time before November 6, 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to the terms of this **‎**Article 16, the Partnership has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any portion in an Authorized Denomination, of the Notes, for cash equal to the Redemption Price, at any time and from time to time, on a Redemption Date on or after November 6, 2028 and prior to the 41st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Exchange Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive), including the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice Date, during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) [*Reserved*.]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the applicable Redemption Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, the Partnership will pay, on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder as of the close of business of such Regular Record Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date is before such Interest Payment Date) and the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

Section 16.02. Notice of Redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To call any Notes for Redemption pursuant to **‎**Section 16.01, the Partnership shall fix a date for Redemption (a "**Redemption Date**") and the Partnership shall or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is sent to the Holders (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall, in the name of and at the expense of the Partnership, send or cause to be sent a notice of such Redemption (a "**Notice of Redemption**") not less than 45 nor more than 65 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; *provided, however*, that if the Partnership shall give a Notice of Redemption, it shall also give a written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. A Redemption Date must be a Business Day of the Partnership's choosing that is no more than sixty-five (65), nor less than forty-five (45), Scheduled Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A Notice of Redemption, if delivered in the manner provided herein, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given duly, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for Redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the Redemption of any other Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Notice of Redemption shall specify:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) that the Notes have been called for Redemption, briefly describing the Partnership's Redemption rights under this Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Redemption Date for such Redemption;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Redemption (and the amount, manner and timing of any interest payment payable pursuant to ***‎***Section 16.01(d));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) that Notes called for Redemption must be delivered to the Paying Agent (in the case of Certificated Notes) or the Applicable Procedures must be complied with (in the case of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Redemption Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that, unless the Partnership defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, the interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date that is prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest payable pursuant to ***‎***Section 16.01(d));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) that Holders may surrender their Notes called for Redemption for exchange at any time from the date of the Notice of Redemption to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Partnership fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Partnership pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) the procedures an exchanging Holder must follow to exchange its Notes called for Redemption and, if the Partnership chooses to elect a Settlement Method for any such exchanges, the relevant Settlement Method;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) the Exchange Rate and, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock added to the Exchange Rate in accordance with ***‎***Section 16.06; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes.

A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable. In the case of a Redemption, a Holder may exchange any or all of its Notes called for Redemption at any time from the date of the Notice of Redemption to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Partnership fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Partnership pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price.

Section 16.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Notice of Redemption has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with **‎**Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Partnership at the applicable Redemption Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the

Partnership, or if the Partnership is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in **‎**Section 4.04) an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Partnership) shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Partnership, return to the Partnership any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

Section 16.04. Selection, Exchange and Transfer of Notes to be Redeemed in Part. If less than all Notes then outstanding are called for Redemption, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee as follows: (1) in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; and (2) in the case of Certificated Notes, by lot, pro rata or any other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is exchanged in part, then the exchanged portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to the Redemption.

In the event of any Redemption, the Partnership shall not be required to (x) issue, register the transfer of or exchange of any interest in any Notes during the 15 calendar day period prior to the relevant Redemption Notice Date or (y) register the transfer of or exchange of any interest in any Notes so selected for Redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be construed as a prohibition on any exchange of the Notes pursuant to ‎Article 14.

Section 16.05. *Restrictions on Redemption.* The Partnership may not redeem any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (or, if the Partnership fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Partnership pays the Redemption Price) (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Partnership in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 16.06. *Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Called for Redemption Surrendered for Exchange in Connection with a Redemption*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Notice of Redemption pursuant to **‎**Section 14.01(b)(v) and this **‎**Article 16 (but only with respect to the Notes called for Redemption), the Exchange Rate will be increased by a number of Additional Shares as described in this **‎**Section 16.06. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed to be "in connection with" a Notice of Redemption if, with respect only to the Notes called for Redemption, the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the Redemption Notice Date to the close of business on the

second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Partnership fails to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Partnership pays or duly provides for the Redemption Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased pursuant to this **‎**Section 16.06 if a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Notice of Redemption (but only with respect to the Notes called for Redemption) shall be determined by reference to the table set forth in **‎**Section 14.03(e) based on the Redemption Notice Date and the Redemption Reference Price, but determined for purposes of this **‎**Section 16.06 as if (i) the Holder had elected to exchange its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) the Redemption Notice Date were the Effective Date of the relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (iii) the Redemption Reference Price were the Stock Price in respect of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Article 17<br> Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 17.01. *Provisions Binding on Partnership's and Pubco's Successors.* All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements of each of the Partnership and Pubco contained in this Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.

Section 17.02. *Official Acts by Successor Entity.* Any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture authorized or required to be done or performed by any board, committee or Officer of the general partner of the Partnership shall and may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like board, committee or officer of any corporation or other entity that shall at the time be the lawful sole successor of the Partnership.

Section 17.03. *Addresses for Notices, Etc.* Any notice or demand that by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders on the Partnership shall be in writing (including facsimile and electronic mail in PDF format) and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes if given or served by being deposited postage prepaid by registered or certified mail in a post office letter box addressed (until another address is furnished by the Partnership to the Trustee) as follows: 300 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10282, Attention: Legal Compliance, Email: Legal-Compliance@galaxydigital.io. Any notice, direction, request or demand hereunder to or upon the Trustee shall be in writing (including electronic mail in PDF format) and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or served by being deposited postage prepaid by registered or certified mail in a post office letter box addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

The Trustee, by notice to the Partnership, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Any notice or communication delivered or to be delivered to a Holder of Certificated Notes shall be mailed to it by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its address as it appears on the Note Register and shall be sufficiently given to it if so mailed within the time prescribed. Any notice or communication delivered or to be delivered to a Holder of Global Notes shall be delivered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary and shall be sufficiently given to it if so delivered within the time prescribed.

Failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is sent in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions ("**Instructions**") given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; *provided*, *however*, that the Partnership shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions ("**Authorized Officers**") and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Partnership whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If a party elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Partnership understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Partnership shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Partnership and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Partnership. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Partnership agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Partnership; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv)

to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 17.04. *Governing Law.* THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Upon any application or demand by the Partnership to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Partnership shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of the signor(s), all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; *provided, however*, that no such Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered with respect to the authentication and delivery of the Notes on the Issue Date or the Partnership Order delivered in connection therewith.

Each Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for, by or on behalf of the Partnership in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with this Indenture (other than the Officer's Certificates provided for in ‎Section 4.09) shall include (i) a statement that the Person making such certificate has read such covenant or condition; (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statement contained in such certificate is based; (iii) a statement that, in the judgment of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed judgment as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the judgment of such Person, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 17.06, if any provision in this Indenture specifically provides that the Trustee shall or may receive an Opinion of Counsel in connection with any action to be taken by the Trustee or the Partnership hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to such Opinion of Counsel.

Section 17.07. *Legal Holidays.* If any Interest Payment Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, any Redemption Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.

Section 17.08. *No Security Interest Created.* Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall be construed to constitute a security interest under the

Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or hereafter enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes "by the Trustee" and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee's certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to ‎Section 7.08.

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this ‎Section 17.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Partnership. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Partnership. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Partnership and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.

The Partnership agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Partnership may terminate the authenticating agent, if it determines such agent's fees to be unreasonable.

The provisions of ‎Section 7.02, ‎Section 7.03, ‎Section 7.04, ‎Section 7.06, ‎Section 8.03 and this ‎Section 17.11 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this ‎Section 17.11, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

In no event shall the Trustee or the Exchange Agent be charged with knowledge of or have any duty to monitor Stock Price or Observation Period. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for calculations, information relating to any calculation or determinations of amounts, determining whether events requiring or permitting exchanges have occurred, determining whether any adjustment is required to be made with respect to exchange rights and, if so, how much, or for the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

GALAXY DIGITAL HOLDINGS LP<br> 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Note due 2031

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Partnership, designated as its 0.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031 (the "**Notes**"), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000,000 all issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of October 30, 2025 (the "**Indenture**"), among the Partnership, Pubco and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the "**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 Exchange Agent, the Partnership 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. The Notes represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed hereon and the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, cancellations, exchanges for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, transfers or exchanges permitted by the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, 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 30% 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. In the case certain Events of Default relating to a bankruptcy (or similar proceeding) with respect to the Partnership shall have occurred, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable, as set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Partnership will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Redemption Price on a Redemption Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase 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 Partnership will 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. Upon exchange of any Note, the Partnership shall, at its election, pay, issue or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Partnership and the 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

Exhibit A - 7

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.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Partnership, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal (including the Redemption Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of or the consideration due upon exchange for, as the case may be, and accrued and unpaid interest on 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 of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Partnership 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 Partnership 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.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund. Under certain circumstances specified in the Indenture, the Notes will be subject to redemption by the Partnership at the Redemption Price.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Partnership to repurchase 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 Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

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 exchange any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at the Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

ARTICLE II<br> <u>REGISTRATION STATEMENT</u>

Section 2.1. <u>Initial Shelf Registration</u>.

The Company shall file on or prior to January 31, 2026 (the "<u>Filing Deadline</u>") a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the "<u>Form S-1 Shelf</u>") or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the "<u>Form S-3 Shelf</u>," and such initial Form S-1 Shelf or Form S-3 Shelf, as may be amended from time to time, the "<u>Initial Shelf Registration</u>"), in each case, covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of all Registrable Securities eligible for inclusion therein pursuant to this <u>Section ‎2.1</u>. The Company shall give written notice to the Representative and Holders in accordance with <u>Section 6.2</u> hereof, at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed filing date of the Initial Shelf Registration, and the Company shall include in such Initial Shelf Registration all of the Registrable Securities then beneficially owned by the Holders who request inclusion therein by completing and returning a Holder Questionnaire (to the extent required pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.3.1</u> hereof) at least three (3) business days prior to the filing of the Initial Shelf Registration. The Company will furnish a draft of the Initial Shelf Registration to the Representative and each Holder with Registrable Securities to be included therein for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Initial Shelf Registration (it being understood that the Company shall be permitted to file the Initial Shelf Registration regardless of whether any Holder has completed its review thereof or provided affirmative confirmation to the Company to such effect). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after filing, but in no event later than (i) five (5) business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing) by the Commission that the Initial Shelf Registration will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review or (ii) ninety (90) days after the earlier of the date of the Initial Shelf Registration is filed with the Commission and the Filing Deadline, if the Initial Shelf Registration is reviewed by, and the Company receives comments from, the Commission. Such Initial Shelf Registration shall provide for the resale of the Registrable

Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Shelf Registration will provide for a plan of distribution in customary form for resale registration statements of the type contemplated by this Agreement (including coverage for market transactions on a national securities exchange, privately negotiated transactions and transactions through broker-dealers acting as agent or principal, but not including underwritten public offerings). So long as a Holder delivers to the Company a completed Holder Questionnaire, such Holder shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Initial Shelf Registration unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the Commission or another regulatory agency; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if the Commission requests that such Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Initial Shelf Registration, such Holder will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an Initial Shelf Registration in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary in order to keep an Initial Shelf Registration effective for the period required by <u>Section ‎3.1.2</u>. In the event the Company has filed a Form S-1 Shelf and subsequently becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company may amend the Initial Shelf Registration so as to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (or any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration then in effect until such time as a Shelf on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities included therein has been declared effective by the Commission.

Section 2.2. <u>Subsequent Shelf Registration</u>.

If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to <u>Section ‎3.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a "<u>Subsequent Shelf Registration</u>") registering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of all Registrable Securities of each Holder who requests inclusion therein by completing and returning a Holder Questionnaire (to the extent required pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.3.1</u> hereof) within three (3) business days following delivery of notice by the Company to the Holders of the proposed filing of such Subsequent Shelf Registration in accordance with <u>Section 3.3.1</u>. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof but in any event by no later than (i) five (5) business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing) by the Commission that the Subsequent Shelf Registration will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date the Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed with the Commission, and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration effective for the period required by <u>Section ‎3.1.2</u>.

Section 2.3. <u>Subsequent Holders</u>.

Section 2.3.1. <u>Securities Previously Registered</u>. Upon the written request (together with a completed Holder Questionnaire, to the extent required pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.3.1</u> hereof) of any Holder that beneficially owns Registrable Securities that were previously included in the Initial Shelf Registration (or, if applicable, a Subsequent Shelf Registration), but are not then registered under the name of such Holder, the Company shall, subject to <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u> hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to supplement the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as the case may be, to include in such Registration Statement information regarding such Holder that is sufficient to permit the resale by such Holder of such Registrable Securities previously registered thereunder.

Section 2.3.2. <u>Initial Registration of Securities</u>. Upon the written request (together with a completed Holder Questionnaire, to the extent required pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.3.1</u> hereof) of any Holder that beneficially owns Registrable Securities that were not included in the Initial Shelf Registration (or, if applicable, a Subsequent Shelf Registration) at the time of such request, the Company shall, subject to <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u> hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as the case may be, to include such Registrable Securities (a "<u>Post-Effective Amendment</u>"); *provided*, *however*, that the Company shall not be required to so amend the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration more than once every

three (3) calendar months. Subject to the foregoing proviso, within five (5) business days after receiving such a written request pursuant to this <u>Section ‎2.3.2</u>, the Company shall give written notice of such request to the Representative and all Holders, and shall include in such Post-Effective Amendment (i) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) business days after the Company's giving of such notice and (ii) all Registrable Securities that were covered by the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as the case may be; *provided* that if such Holder Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period (as defined below), the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Holder Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in this <u>Section ‎2.3</u>. upon expiration of such Deferral Period in accordance with <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u> hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to include in such Post-Effective Amendment any Registrable Securities that are already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement that may be utilized for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered.

ARTICLE III<br> <u>REGISTRATION PROCEDURES</u>

Section 3.1. <u>Filings; Information</u>.

In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection therewith:

Section 3.1.1. <u>Filing Registration Statement</u>. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the period required by <u>Section ‎3.1.2</u>.

Section 3.1.2. <u>Amendments and Supplements; Maintenance</u>. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by any Holder who beneficially owns Registrable Securities as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until the earlier to occur of (i) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have been disposed of,(ii) the first date on which no Holder beneficially owns any Registrable Securities (the "<u>Shelf Registration Period</u>") and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of Class A Common Stock included in such Prospectus for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 3.1.3. <u>Notification</u>. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the Representative and the Holders who beneficially own Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify the Representative and such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following (collectively, "<u>Blackout Events</u>"): (i) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered) and (ii) an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such Prospectus will not contain a Misstatement (provided that in no event shall any such notice contain any material, non-public information).

Section 3.1.4. <u>Rule 424 Prospectus</u>. Upon written notification by the Commission that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus contained in such Registration Statement under Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

Section 3.2. <u>Registration Expenses</u>.

The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Representative and the Holders that the Holders shall bear all selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable

Securities, such as any commissions, discounts and brokerage fees or spread, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses."

Section 3.3. <u>Information</u>.

Section 3.3.1. <u>Holder Questionnaire</u>. In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement, subject to notice by the Company to the Holders of the anticipated filing of such Registration Statement, each Holder (other than a Holder that has previously furnished to the Company a Holder Questionnaire, in each case solely to the extent that, at the time of such filing, the information furnished by such Holder in response to the Holder Questionnaire would be substantially the same as information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder) agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Holder Questionnaire. Other than as provided in <u>Sections 2.1</u>, <u>2.3.2</u> and <u>6.1</u> hereof and subject to the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company's obligations to include any Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder for resale in a Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder executing and returning to the Company a Holder Questionnaire within three (3) business days following delivery of notice by the Company of the proposed filing of such Registration Statement.

Section 3.3.2. <u>Additional Information</u>. Upon written request, each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company any additional information regarding such Holder, the securities of the Company and/or its affiliates held by such Holder and the intended method of disposition of such shares of Class A Common Stock, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company that are necessary to effect the registration of such shares. Each Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations; provided, however, that the Holders shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement.

Section 3.3.3. <u>Failure to Provide Information</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Holder Questionnaire within three (3) business days following delivery of notice by the Company of the proposed filing of the Registration Statement (to the extent such Holder Questionnaire was required to be furnished pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.3.1</u> hereof and other than as provided in <u>Sections 2.1</u>, <u>2.3.2</u> and <u>6.1</u> hereof), or fails to provide such other information or execute such documents as contemplated by <u>Section ‎3.3.2</u> hereof, the Company may exclude Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the Registration. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any liquidated or other damages hereunder to any Holder in respect of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder that are excluded from a Registration Statement pursuant to this <u>Section ‎3.3.3</u>. The exclusion of any Registrable Securities as a result of this <u>Section ‎3.3.3</u> shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

Section 3.4. <u>Misstatements; Restrictions on Registration Rights</u>.

Section 3.4.1. <u>Misstatements</u>. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information), each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

Section 3.4.2. <u>Restrictions on Registration Rights</u>. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control, in its good faith judgment, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Chief Executive Officer or the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time (each of clauses (a) through (c), a "<u>Postponement Event</u>"), the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Representative and all Holders (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration

Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose (any such period, a "<u>Deferral Period</u>"); *provided, however*, that the Company shall not extend the Deferral Period for more than ninety (90) days in any 12 month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u>, each Holder agrees to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the suspension notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until the date the Company provides written notice to such Holder that it may resume use of such Registration Statement.

Section 3.5. <u>Exchange Act</u>.

As long as any Holder shall beneficially own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 3.6. <u>Broker Sales.</u> 

Section 3.6.1. <u>Concurrent with Exchange</u>. In connection with any proposed exchange of a Holder's Notes pursuant to the Indenture, if such Holder proposes to transfer, substantially concurrently with the settlement of such exchange, any shares of Class A Common Stock that are deliverable upon the exchange of such Notes by delivering a prospectus that forms a part of a Registration Statement pursuant to which shares of Class A Common Stock are registered, through a broker or brokerage firm, in an open market transaction or otherwise (a "<u>Broker Sale</u>"), such Holder (i) shall promptly provide written notice to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to effecting such Broker Sale and (ii) shall not effect such Broker Sale with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent the Partnership elects to settle the exchange of the applicable Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture by delivering cash (or a combination of cash and shares) in lieu of such shares.

Section 3.6.2. <u>Postponement</u>. No Holder shall effect any Broker Sale during any Postponement Event or Blackout Event that such Holder has knowledge of by virtue of receipt of any notice contemplated by <u>Section ‎‎3.4.2</u> hereof or <u>Section ‎3.1.3</u> hereof, respectively.

ARTICLE IV<u><br> REGISTRATION DEFAULTS</u> 

Section 4.1. <u>Registration Defaults</u>. If any of the following events shall occur as a result of the Company's failure to satisfy its obligations hereunder (each of the events set forth in clauses (a) through (d) below, a "<u>Registration Default</u>"), then the Partnership shall pay additional interest on the Notes ("<u>Registration Default Additional Interest</u>") to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the Initial Shelf Registration has not been filed with the Commission and/or has not been declared or become effective, as the case may be, within the timeframes required under <u>Section ‎2.1</u>, after giving effect to any extensions as set forth therein, Registration Default Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared or become effective but later ceases to be effective or available for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities, other than (1) in connection with a Deferral Period or (2) as a result of the filing of a Post-Effective Amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make changes to the information regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein, at any time during the Shelf Registration Period and the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or availability within 10 business days (or within 10 business days following the expiration of such Deferral Period or within the timeframe contemplated under <u>Section ‎2.3.2</u> for filing a Post-effective Amendment, as the case may be), then Registration Default Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if the Company through its omission fails to name a Holder as a selling securityholder and such Holder had complied timely with its obligations hereunder in a manner to entitle such Holder to be so named in (1) the Initial Shelf Registration or, if applicable, a Subsequent Shelf Registration at the time it first became effective or (2) any Prospectus at the later of (x) the time of filing thereof and (y) the time the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as applicable, of which the Prospectus forms a part became or was declared effective, then Registration Default Additional Interest shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder, at a rate of 0.50% per annum from and including the day following the effective date of such Initial Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration or the time of filing of such Prospectus, as the case may be, which Registration Default Additional Interest shall be payable by the Partnership separately to such Holder at the account specified in writing by such Holder to the Partnership; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u> hereof, then commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Registration Default Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;

*provided*, *however*, that (1) upon the filing and effectiveness (whether upon such filing or otherwise) of the Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration (in the case of paragraph (a) above), (2) upon such time as the Initial Shelf Registration or a Subsequent Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective or available for resales again becomes effective and available for resales (in the case of paragraph (b) above), (3) upon the time such Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Initial Shelf Registration or Subsequent Shelf Registration and Prospectus in accordance with applicable Law (in the case of paragraph (c) above), or (4) upon the termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in <u>Section ‎3.4.2</u> to be exceeded (in the case of paragraph (d) above), Registration Default Additional Interest shall immediately cease to accrue.

Section 4.2. <u>Payment of Registration Default Additional Interest</u>. Any amounts of Registration Default Additional Interest due pursuant to this Article IV will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture) following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes as described in the Indenture and shall be in addition to any remedy relating to the failure to comply with the Partnership's obligations under Section 4.06(b) of the Indenture. If any Note ceases to be outstanding during any period for which Registration Default Additional Interest is accruing (other than as a result of the Holder exercising its exchange rights pursuant to Article 14 of the Indenture), the Partnership will prorate the Registration Default Additional Interest payable with respect to such Note.

The Registration Default Additional Interest rate on the Notes shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one clause of <u>Section ‎4.1</u> hereof for any given period of time. Other than the Partnership's obligation to pay Registration Default Additional Interest in accordance with this Article IV, the Partnership will not have any liability for damages with respect to a Registration Default or other obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, (x) in no event shall Registration Default Additional Interest accrue or be payable to holders of Class A Common Stock issued upon exchange of Notes and (y) if a Registration Default occurs after a Holder has exchanged its Notes for Class A Common Stock, such Holder shall not be entitled to any Registration Default Additional Interest with respect to such Class A Common Stock.

ARTICLE V<br> <u>INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION</u>

Section 5.1. <u>Indemnification by the Company</u>.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder that beneficially owns Registrable Securities that are covered by any Registration Statement, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or

Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of such Holder (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (each, a "<u>Holder Indemnified Party</u>"), from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; *provided*, *however*, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such Holder, or a Holder Indemnified Party on behalf of such Holder, expressly for use therein.

Section 5.2. <u>Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities</u>.

Each selling Holder that beneficially owns Registrable Securities that are covered by any Registration Statement agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; *provided*, *however*, that such Holder will only be liable to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such Holder, expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of a Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock giving rise to such indemnification obligation. This indemnity agreement shall be acknowledged by each Holder in such Holder's Holder Questionnaire and shall be in addition to any liability that any such Holder may otherwise have.

Section 5.3. <u>Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings</u>.

Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to <u>Section ‎5.1</u> or <u>‎5.2</u>, such person (the "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the "<u>Indemnifying Party</u>") in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; *provided, however*, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; *provided, however*, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written advice of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

Section 5.4. <u>Contribution</u>.

If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing <u>Sections ‎5.1</u>, <u>‎5.2</u> and <u>‎5.3</u> is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; *provided*, *however*, that in no event shall the liability of a Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon sale of shares of Class A Common Stock giving rise to such contribution obligation; *provided further*, that the liability of the Representative (other than in its capacity as a Holder) shall in no event be greater than its pro rata share of the total initial purchaser discount pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section ‎5.4</u> were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section ‎5.4</u>.

ARTICLE VI<br> <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>

Section 6.1. <u>Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries</u>.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, any contractual restrictions on transfer and compliance with applicable securities Laws, at any time prior to the redemption, exchange, maturity or repurchase of a given Note, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations hereunder conferred to the Holder of such Note or any other person who beneficially owns Registrable Securities shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its successors, assignees and transferees, including, without the need for an express assignment, a Subsequent Holder.

The Partnership irrevocably appoints the Company, located at 300 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10282, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Partnership and the Company by the person serving the same to the address in accordance with <u>Section 6.2</u>, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Partnership and the Company in any such suit or proceeding. The Partnership and the Company further agree to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

**Galaxy Announces Private Offering of $1.0 Billion of Exchangeable Senior Notes**

**NEW YORK, NEW YORK, October 27, 2025**—Galaxy Digital Inc. ("GDI") (NASDAQ/TSX: GLXY) today announced the intention of Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (the "Issuer" and, together with GDI, the "Company" or "Galaxy") to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes due 2031 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The Issuer also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, during the 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date the Issuer first issues the Notes, up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to support growth across its core operating businesses and for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of its existing exchangeable senior notes due 2026.

The final terms of the offering, including the interest rate and initial exchange rate of the Notes, will be determined by the Issuer and the initial purchasers at the pricing of the offering. The Notes will be general senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears and will mature on May 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. Noteholders will have the right to exchange their Notes in certain circumstances and during certain periods. The Issuer will settle exchanges of Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of GDI's Class A common stock ("common stock"), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Issuer's election.

The Notes will not be redeemable prior to November 6, 2028. On or after November 6, 2028 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes will be redeemable for cash, in whole or in part, at the Issuer's option, if the last reported sale price per share of common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the exchange price for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a "fundamental change" occur, then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, noteholders may require the Issuer to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The offering of the Notes is subject to market conditions and the satisfaction of closing requirements, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). There can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering will be completed, if at all, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

The Notes and any common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any applicable state or foreign securities law, or qualified by a prospectus in Canada. The Notes and any common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require GDI to register the resale of any shares of common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes on a shelf registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Notes will only be offered and sold to persons who are reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act). Offers and sales in Canada will be made only pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, any common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes, any such common stock or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

**Galaxy Prices Upsized $1.15 Billion Exchangeable Senior Notes Offering**

**NEW YORK, NEW YORK, October 28, 2025**—Galaxy Digital Inc. ("GDI") (NASDAQ/TSX: GLXY) today announced that Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (the "Issuer" and, together with GDI, the "Company" or "Galaxy") priced the offering of $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of its 0.50% exchangeable senior notes due 2031 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The offering size was increased from the previously announced offering size of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Issuer also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, during the 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date the Issuer first issues the Notes, up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.

The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of Notes will be $1,127.0 million (or $1,274.0 million if the initial purchasers of the Notes fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers' discount but before deducting offering expenses payable by Galaxy. Galaxy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to support growth across Galaxy's core operating businesses and for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of the Issuer's existing exchangeable senior notes due 2026.

The Notes will be general senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will accrue interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2026 and will mature on May 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. Prior to February 1, 2031, noteholders will have the right to exchange their Notes only in certain circumstances and during certain periods. From and after February 1, 2031, noteholders may exchange their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Issuer will settle exchanges of Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of GDI's Class A common stock ("common stock"), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Issuer's election. The initial exchange rate is 17.9352 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial exchange price of approximately $55.76 per share of common stock. The initial exchange price represents a premium of approximately 37.5% above the last reported sale price per share of common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 27, 2025, which was $40.55 per share. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Notes will not be redeemable prior to November 6, 2028. On or after November 6, 2028 and prior to the 41<sup>st</sup> scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes will be redeemable for cash, in whole or in part, at the Issuer's option, if the last reported sale price per share of common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the exchange price for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a "fundamental change" occur, then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, noteholders may require the Issuer to repurchase for cash all or part of their Notes. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The sale of the Notes is scheduled to settle on October 30, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").

The Notes and any common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any applicable state or foreign securities law, or qualified by a prospectus in Canada. The Notes and any common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require GDI to register the resale of any shares of common stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes on a shelf registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
