“Adjusted Term SOFR” means, for purposes of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the Term SOFR Adjustment; provided that if Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor.
“Adjusted Term SOFR Market Index Rate” means, for purposes of any calculation and with respect to any day, the daily floating rate per annum for one-month Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment.
“Administrative Agent” has the meaning set forth in the preamble.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling (including but not limited to all directors and officers of such Person), controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with such Person.  A Person shall be deemed to control another entity if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.
“Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the preamble.
“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption, including, without limitation, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
“Anti-Money Laundering Laws” means any and all laws, statutes, regulations or obligatory government orders, decrees, ordinances or rules applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries related to terrorism financing or money laundering, including any applicable provision of the Act and The Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act (also known as the “Bank Secrecy Act,” 31 U.S.C. §§ 5311-5330 and 12U.S.C. §§ 1818(s), 1820(b) and 1951-1959).
“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to the Facility Fee or any SOFR Loan, Base Rate Loan or Swingline Loan, at all times during which any Applicable Rating Level set forth below is in effect, the rate per annum for the Facility Fee or such Loan set forth below next to such Applicable Rating Level.

Rating Level	Applicable Percentage
for Facility Fee
	Applicable Percentage for SOFR Loans
	Applicable Percentage
for Base Rate
Loans
	1	0.060%	0.690%	0.000%
	2	0.075%	0.800%	0.000%
	3	0.100%	0.900%	0.000%
	4	0.125%	1.000%	0.000%
	5	0.175%	1.075%	0.075%

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the FRB, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of

(a)Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made on a Business Day, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and a Swingline Bank, given not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing.  Each such notice of a Swingline Borrowing (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) by the Borrower shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, specifying therein (i) the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing, (ii) the requested aggregate amount of such Swingline Borrowing and (iii) whether the interest rate for such Swingline Borrowing is to be based on the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Market Index Rate.  The applicable Swingline Bank shall, before 3:00 P.M. on the date of such Swingline Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Swingline Borrowing.  Such Swingline Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Swingline Bank and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of determining the amount of Outstanding Credits of any Lender and the amount of unutilized Commitments, each Swingline Borrowing made by a Swingline Bank will be deemed to comprise outstanding Loans of the Lenders made in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.  In addition to the Swingline Banks listed on Schedule 2.03, the Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more other Lenders (with the consent of such Lender (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of such Lender) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to act as a Swingline Bank hereunder.  Any such appointment and the terms thereof (including the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Bank) shall be evidenced by a separate written agreement executed by the Borrower and such Swingline Bank and acknowledged (to evidence its consent as to the identity of such Swingline Bank) by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any such appointment to the Lenders.  Upon such appointment, if and for so long as such Lender shall have any obligation to make Swingline Loans hereunder or any Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding, such Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall have all the rights and obligations of, a “Swingline Bank” under this Agreement.
(b)Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitment on such date.
(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 above to the contrary:
(i)    the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $200,000,000;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans of a Swingline Bank outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Bank;
(iii)    no more than one Swingline Loan may be made on the same Business Day; and
(iv)    each Swingline Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the earlier to occur of (x) the fourteenth (14th) Business Day after the date the Swingline Loan is made and (y) the Termination Date; provided, that such payment shall not be made from the proceeds of any other Swingline Loans.
    28    
			
	

(d)Any Swingline Bank that has made a Swingline Loan may, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the applicable Swingline Bank to act on its behalf), by written notice given no later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loan outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the applicable Swingline Bank.  Each Lender shall make the amount of such Base Rate Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice.  The proceeds of such Base Rate Loan shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Swingline Bank for application by the Swingline Bank to the repayment of the Swingline Loan.  No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Pro Rata Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of a Swingline Loan.
(e)On each date a Swingline Loan is made, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a risk participation in such Swingline Loan from the applicable Swingline Bank in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan.  If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced with a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(d), upon request by a Swingline Bank with an outstanding Swingline Loan, and notwithstanding whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each other Lender shall fund its risk participation in such Swingline Loan by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swingline Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account, in same day funds, an amount equal to its risk participation therein.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of its risk participation in such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the applicable Swingline Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate; provided, that if payment is not made within three (3) Business Days of demand, interest thereon shall accrue at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Swingline Loans for each day thereafter until paid.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swingline Bank, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swingline Loan by such Lender for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Bank shall be reduced by such amount.
(f)Any Swingline Bank may and, if such Swingline Bank is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), such Swingline Bank shall, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, with any such resignation to become effective (i) if such Swingline Bank is the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has given notice of its resignation or has been removed in accordance with Section 8.08, on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (ii) if such Swingline Bank is party to an Assignment and Acceptance whereby it intends to assign all of its Loans and Commitment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or 7.05(b), on the effective date of such assignment or (iii) otherwise, on the later of (x) 30 days after delivery of such notice or (y) such date as agreed by such Swingline Bank; provided that if such resigning Swingline Bank is the only remaining Swingline Bank at the time of its resignation and there is no Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor Swingline Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.  If no successor Swingline Bank shall have been so appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Swingline Bank’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Swingline Bank may, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a successor Swingline Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as a Swingline Bank hereunder by a successor Swingline Bank, such successor Swingline Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Bank.
    29    
			
	

(g)Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(d) or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Swingline Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(d) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
Section 2.04Letters of Credit.
(a)In addition to the LC Issuing Banks listed on Schedule 2.04, the Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more other Lenders (with the consent of any such Lender (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of such Lender) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to act as an LC Issuing Bank hereunder.  Any such appointment and the terms thereof shall be evidenced in a separate written agreement executed by the Borrower and the relevant LC Issuing Bank and acknowledged (to evidence its consent as to the identity of such LC Issuing Bank) by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any such appointment to the other Lenders.  Upon such appointment, if and for so long as such Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letters of Credit hereunder or any Letter of Credit issued by such Lender shall remain outstanding, such Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall have all the rights and obligations of, an “LC Issuing Bank” under this Agreement.
(b)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice thereof by delivery of (x) a Request for Issuance to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the relevant LC Issuing Bank, and (y) if requested by such LC Issuing Bank, a letter of credit application or other standard form required by the relevant LC Issuing Bank to such LC Issuing Bank.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in a form acceptable to the relevant LC Issuing Bank.  Each Request for Issuance shall specify (i) the identity of the relevant LC Issuing Bank, (ii) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) unless cash collateralized (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25) in an amount equal to 102% of the LC Outstandings for such Letter of Credit prior to five (5) Business Days prior to the stated Termination Date for the applicable LC Issuing Bank, the fifth Business Day preceding such Termination Date); provided that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date specified in clause (B) above) unless the relevant LC Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower and the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed, (iii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter of Credit, and if such Request for Issuance relates to an amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit thereto.  Each Request for Issuance shall be delivered by the Borrower no later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein.  Not later than 2:00 P.M. on the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the
    30    
			
	

applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly furnish copies thereof to the Lenders; provided that the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall not issue or amend any Letter of Credit if such LC Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent that the applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied.
(c)No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the Outstanding Credits would exceed the aggregate Commitments, (ii) with respect to each Lender individually, the Outstanding Credits of such Lender would exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the LC Outstandings would exceed $150,000,000, or (iv) the LC Outstandings for all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank would exceed the LC Commitment of such LC Issuing Bank.  
(d)By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof), and without any further action on the part of the applicable LC Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such LC Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, reinstatement or renewal of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.05 or Section 2.06, or as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 7.05 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
(e)The Borrower hereby agrees to pay (through the proceeds of a Borrowing or otherwise) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuing Bank and each participating Lender, if applicable, no later than (i) if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Issuing Bank’s payment pursuant to any Letter of Credit issued by it (such payment, an “LC Disbursement”) not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of such payment, on such date, or (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice (such date referred to in clause (i) or such Business Day referred to in clause (ii), the “LC Reimbursement Due Date”), a sum equal to the amount of the LC Disbursement plus interest on such amount from the date so paid by such LC Issuing Bank until repayment to such LC Issuing Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus, if any amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower on the LC Reimbursement Due Date, 2%, unless refinanced with a Loan.
(f)If any LC Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any LC Disbursement on the date payment is due from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(e), such LC Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent prompt notice thereof (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately succeeding such payment date (such date, the “LC Notice Date”).  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. on an LC Notice Date, the applicable LC Payment Notice.  Each Lender severally agrees to fund its participation in the Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower to such LC Issuing Bank by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s participation, plus interest, if applicable, on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the LC Reimbursement Due Date to the date of payment to such LC Issuing Bank by such Lender.  Each such
    31    
			
	

payment by a Lender shall be made not later than 3:00 P.M. on the applicable LC Notice Date.  Each Lender’s obligation to make each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank shall be several and shall not be affected by the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this Section 2.04(f).  Each Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(g)The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with paragraph (f) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender.
(h)The payment obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(f) and of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit;
(ii)    any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit;
(iii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;
(iv)    any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v)    payment in good faith by any LC Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vi)    the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit by, or any act or omission of, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for which the beneficiary may be acting); or
(vii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(i)Without limiting any other provision of this Section 2.04, for purposes of this Section 2.04, any LC Issuing Bank may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith to have been authorized by the Borrower, whether or not given or signed by an authorized Person of the Borrower.
(j)The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit.  Neither any LC Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency
    32    
			
	

or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower and each Lender shall have the right to bring suit against each LC Issuing Bank, and each LC Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender that the Borrower or such Lender proves were caused by such LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, including, in the case of the Borrower, such LC Issuing Bank’s (x) failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (y) failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each LC Issuing Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Issuing Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(k)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, on the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued hereunder, resulting in Extensions of Credit on such date hereunder.
(l)Any LC Issuing Bank may and, if such LC Issuing Bank is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), such LC Issuing Bank shall, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, with any such resignation to become effective (i) if such LC Issuing Bank is the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has given notice of its resignation or has been removed in accordance with Section 8.08, on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (ii) if such LC Issuing Bank is party to an Assignment and Acceptance whereby it intends to assign all of its Loans and Commitment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or 7.05(b), on the effective date of such assignment or (iii) otherwise, on the later of (x) 30 days after delivery of such notice and (y) such date as agreed by such LC Issuing Bank; provided that if such resigning LC Issuing Bank is the only LC Issuing Bank at the time of its resignation and there is no Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor LC Issuing Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.  If no successor LC Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring LC Issuing Bank’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring LC Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Borrower and Lenders, appoint a successor LC Issuing Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower.  Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an LC Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor LC Issuing Bank, such successor LC Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuing Bank.  Except as provided in Section 8.08(d) with respect to any LC Issuing Bank which is a resigning Administrative Agent, after the effective date of the resignation of an LC Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring LC Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall no longer have an LC Commitment and shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.
    33    
			
	

(m)No LC Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate such LC Issuing Bank’s internal policies.
Section 2.05Increase of the Commitments.
(a)After the Closing Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Borrower and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this paragraph (a) being called a “Designated Lender”), which may include, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Designated Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Designated Lenders to be increased, as the case may be); provided that (i) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments effected pursuant to this paragraph (a) exceed $500,000,000, (ii) each such requested increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000, (iii) each Designated Lender shall (A) be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank and each Swingline Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (B) if not an existing Lender, execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment or Commitments of such Designated Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder, (iv) immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such proposed increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (v) the Borrower shall have delivered the documents and certificates required by clauses (1) – (3) below.  Extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notice delivered by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall deliver (1) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article IV (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04 and 4.05(b)) (with all references in such Article to a Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing being deemed to be references to the increase of the Commitments) are true in all material respects as if made on and as of such effective date (other than with respect to any representation and warranty that expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Change, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true in all respects as of such earlier date), (2) evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments and (3) if requested by a Designated Lender, such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  Any Lender or any other financial institution offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any increase in the Commitment pursuant to this paragraph (a) may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Commitment.
(b)The Outstanding Credits will be reallocated on the effective date of such increase among the Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and, with respect to any outstanding Loans, the Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment).  Prepayments made under this paragraph (b) shall not be subject to the notice or minimum amount requirements of Section 2.12.
(c)Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage as of such effective date.
    34    
			
	

Section 2.06Maturity of Loans; Extension and Termination of Commitment.
(a)Each outstanding Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, and the Commitments and the Swingline Commitments shall terminate, on the Termination Date.  Each Swingline Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, on the earlier to occur of (i) the fourteenth (14th) Business Day after the date the Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date.
(b)The Borrower may request up to two one-year extensions of the Termination Date in effect on the date of any such request (the “Current Termination Date”) (notice of the exercise of which shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date).  Upon the delivery of such a written request by an authorized officer of the Borrower (an “Extension Request”), the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver a copy of such Extension Request to each of the Lenders.  Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall by notice made in writing and delivered to the Administrative Agent on a Business Day not more than 30 days following the date of such Extension Request, advise the Administrative Agent whether such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender agreeing to an Extension Request within such timeframe being referred to herein as an “Extending Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to an Extension Request within such timeframe being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”).  Any Lender which has not provided written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating whether such Lender agrees to the requested Extension Request prior to the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.  The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree.
(c)If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall not have agreed to the Extension Request on or prior to the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request, then the Current Termination Date shall not be so extended, the principal amount of all Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in full and the Commitment shall terminate on the Current Termination Date.
(d)If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to the Extension Request on or prior to the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request (such date, the “Extension Date”), then the Termination Date applicable to Extending Lenders shall be extended to be the day that is one year after the Current Termination Date; provided, that the Termination Date shall in no event extend beyond the fifth anniversary of the Extension Date.  In the event of such extension, (w) the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Current Termination Date, (x) the principal amount of all Loans and other amounts payable to each Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement shall be payable in full on the Current Termination Date, (y) the Lenders’ aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender unless such Non-Extending Lender is replaced pursuant to paragraph (e) below and (z) the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations will be reallocated on the Current Termination Date among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and the Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation).  Prepayments made under this paragraph (d) shall not be subject to the notice or minimum amount requirements of Section 2.12.
(e)In the event that the Termination Date is extended under paragraph (d) above, the Borrower shall have the right, on or before the Current Termination Date, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, to require any Non-Extending Lender to assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that such assignment shall be in accordance with, and subject to the requirements and restrictions contained in Section 7.05.
    35    
			
	

(f)Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, no extension of the Termination Date shall become effective for any Lender unless, on the Extension Date, (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 3.02(b) and 3.02(c) (with all references in such Sections to a Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing being deemed to be references to the extension of the Termination Date) shall be satisfied, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect, dated the Extension Date and executed on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received copies (certified to be true and complete by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) of all governmental approvals (if any) required for each of the Borrower and the Parent in connection with such extension.
Section 2.07Evidence of Loans.
(a)Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts, and to update promptly its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 7.05(c) and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, amount and Interest Period, if applicable, of each Loan, and whether such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a SOFR Loan or a Swingline Loan, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the account of the Borrower and each Lender’s percentage share thereof.  The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to update promptly such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.
(c)The entries made in the Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(b), and the account or accounts maintained by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to the extent permitted by applicable law shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of such obligations of the Borrower therein recorded and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain any such Register, subaccount or account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(d)Upon the request of any Lender, which request shall be made through the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to such Lender a duly executed Note in the form of Exhibit D.

Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by the Borrower (as to itself) or against the Borrower (as a debtor) of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.
(c)Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitment, the aggregate LC Commitment, any LC Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment, or any Swingline Commitment exceeds the amount of the Commitment, such aggregate LC Commitment, LC Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment, or Swingline Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
(b)All accrued Facility Fees (as provided under Section 2.09) on the Commitment (in the case of a termination of the Commitment) or on the portion of the Commitment being reduced (in the case of a reduction of the Commitment) under this Section 2.10 shall be payable on the effective date of such reduction or termination.
(c)The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Loans in full on the Termination Date, (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iv) (but, in any event, no later than the Termination Date) and (iii) all other Obligations in full on the Termination Date, together with, in each case, without duplication, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 2.11Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)On each date on which the Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Loans, if any (together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any compensation payable pursuant to Section 2.13), and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25) in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on such date, as may be necessary so that after such payment and/or deposit, the Outstanding Credits do not exceed the amount of the Commitment as then reduced.
    38    
			
	

(b)On each date on which any Swingline Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, if any (together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment), as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swingline Loans does not exceed the amount of any Swingline Bank’s Swingline Commitment as then reduced.
(c)On each date on which the LC Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25) for each LC Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the amount by which the LC Outstandings for all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank exceeds the LC Commitment of such LC Issuing Bank as then reduced, if any.

Section 2.12Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (a) on the date of prepayment in the case of any Base Rate Loan or Swingline Loan, and (b) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such date in the case of any SOFR Loan, prepay any such Loan, without premium or penalty, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least $5,000,000 (and integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any compensation payable pursuant to Section 2.13.
Section 2.13Compensation after Prepayment or Conversion.

The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Pro Rata Share of the SOFR Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent no later than twelve (12) months after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the twelve-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) shall be promptly forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall (unless the subject of a good faith dispute by the Borrower) be payable within fifteen (15) days after demand and receipt by the Borrower of such written statement, unless such Lender shall have failed to timely give notice of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.
Section 2.14General Provisions as to Payments.
(a)The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans, the LC Fee and the Facility Fees hereunder in Dollars not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due in federal or
    39    
			
	

other funds immediately available without setoff or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender at its Lending Office.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender, at its Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, including each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans purchased by such Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(d).  If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have so distributed to any Lender, at its Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to such Lender forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Lender until the date such amount is paid to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(b)Subject to the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or of Facility Fees or the LC Fee payable hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
Section 2.15Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans determined by reference to the Base Rate, in each case when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
Section 2.16Compensation, Additional Interest.
(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in SOFR), any Swingline Bank or any LC Issuing Bank;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender, any Swingline Bank or any LC Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, Swingline Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Swingline Bank or such other Recipient of making, Converting to, Continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Swingline Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder with respect to such Loan or Letter of Credit (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
    40    
			
	

(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, Swingline Bank, or LC Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender, such Swingline Bank or such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender, the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loan held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any LC Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank or such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank or such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient setting forth in reasonable detail the basis, method and calculations upon which such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient determined the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank, other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, Swingline Bank’s, LC Issuing Bank’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than four (4) months prior to the date that such Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the four-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)Subject to the requirements of Section 7.05(e), the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant or Assignee, and any calculations required by such provisions shall be based upon the circumstances of such Participant or Assignee.
Section 2.17Taxes.
(a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
    41    
			
	

Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate (together with a copy of the applicable documents from the Governmental Authority imposing such Indemnified Taxes) as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 7.05(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative
    42    
			
	

Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(g)(ii)(A), 2.17(g)(ii)(B) and 2.17(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
    43    
			
	

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
    44    
			
	

(i)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments, Swingline Commitment and LC Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.18Changed Circumstances.
(a)Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability.  Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period and, in the case of clause (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.
(b)Laws Affecting SOFR Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”).  Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”.  Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.

(c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)    Benchmark Replacement. 
(A)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(c)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.18(c)(i)(A).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18(c)(i)(A), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.18(c)(i)(A).
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
    46    
			
	

(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
Section 2.19Conversion of Loans.
(a)The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into or Continuation as SOFR Loans and on the Business Day of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans subject to the provisions of Section 2.18, Convert all Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or Types or Continue Loans of the same Type having the same or a new Interest Period; provided that no Loan shall be Converted to or Continued as a SOFR Loan if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Each such notice of a Conversion or Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion or Continuation, (ii) the Loans to be Converted or Continued and (iii) with respect to any Continuation, or if such Conversion is into, or with respect to SOFR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Loan.
(b)If the Borrower shall fail to select the Type of any Loan or the duration of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” and Section 2.19(a) or if any proposed Conversion of a Loan to a SOFR Loan upon Conversion shall not occur as a result of the circumstances described in Section 2.18 or 2.19(c), such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan.
(c)Each notice of Conversion or Continuation given pursuant to Section 2.19(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  In the case of any Loan that is to be Converted to a SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lenders as a result of any failure to fulfill on the date specified for such Conversion the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund such SOFR Loan, upon such Conversion, when such Conversion, as a result of such failure, does not occur.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph (c) shall survive the repayment of all other amounts owing to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitment.
(d)References in this Section 2.18(b) to “Loans” and “Types of Loans” shall not include the Swingline Loans.
    47    
			
	

Section 2.20Setoff.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank may at any time upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and without notice to the Borrower, set-off against the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement the whole or any portion or portions of any or all deposits and other sums credited by or due from such Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank to the Borrower or subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, whether or not any other Person or Persons could also withdraw money therefrom; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or LC Issuing Bank may have in law or in equity.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 2.21Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a)Each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loan, and each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be allocated first, to the payment or prepayment of principal of, or interest on, the Swingline Loans (x) initially, if such payment is to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.03(c)(iv), to the applicable Swingline Bank in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iv) and (y) then, pro rata among the Swingline Banks in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Swingline Loans; and second, pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans.  Each payment of the Facility Fee and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Commitments and each Conversion or extension of any Loan shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.
(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans made in connection with such Borrowing.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
    48    
			
	

(c)The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several.  The failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of such Loan available on the borrowing date.
Section 2.22Sharing of Payments.  The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement.  The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.22 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.22 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.  The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.25 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant.
Section 2.23Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or any Lender delivers notice pursuant to Section 2.18(b), then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
    49    
			
	

pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any Change in Law that resulted in such notice having been delivered by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b), and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.23(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 7.05(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)    the Borrower shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 7.05(b)(iv);
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13 as though such assignment were a prepayment) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.24Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 7.04.
    50    
			
	

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank hereunder; third, subject to Section 2.24(a)(v), if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any LC Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ and Swingline Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.25; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.25; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuing Banks or the Swingline Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or any Swingline Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.
(A)Such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans funded by it, and (2) its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.25 or Section 2.24(a)(ii).
(B)Such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.25 or Section 2.24(a)(ii).
    51    
			
	

(C)With respect to any Facility Fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to sub-clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each LC Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  For purposes of computing the amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, purchase, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Percentage” and “Pro Rata Share” of each such Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation shall be given effect only to the extent that the aggregate amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, purchase, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Outstanding Credits of such Non-Defaulting Lender at such time.  
(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, at the Borrower’s election, (A) prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Banks’ Fronting Exposure or (B) Cash Collateralize the Swingline Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25 and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25.  
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Bank and each LC Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Bank shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no LC Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
    52    
			
	

(d)Termination of Defaulting Lenders.  The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(e)No Waiver.  The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.24 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each LC Issuing Bank, each Swingline Bank or the Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.  In particular, subject to Section 7.15, no reallocation under Section 2.24(a)(iv) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank or any Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased Outstanding Credits following such reallocation.
Section 2.25Cash Collateral.
(a)Defaulting Lenders Generally.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two (2) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or any Swingline Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure or the Swingline Bank’s Fronting Exposure, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount equal to 100% of such Fronting Exposure.
(b)Grant of Security Interest.  Each of the Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuing Banks and the Swingline Banks, as applicable, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligations to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit and for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligations to purchase their respective Pro Rata Shares in respect of Swingline Loans, as applicable, to be applied pursuant to paragraph (c) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Banks and/or the LC Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the outstanding Fronting Exposure, the Borrower or the applicable Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (in the case of the Borrower, after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

by applicable law, no Indemnitee shall assert, and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that this waiver shall in no way limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations in Section 7.03(b) to the extent of any claim by any Person other than the Borrower, the Parent or any Indemnitee or its Related Parties for any of the foregoing to the extent such claim would be covered by Section 7.03(b).
Section 7.04Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
(a)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (other than the Support Agreement (except as provided in clause (viii) below)) nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Parent; provided that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall without the consent of each Lender affected thereby:
(i)extend the final maturity of any Loan, or any portion thereof (except pursuant to Section 2.06),

(iii)reduce or waive repayment of the principal amount of any Loan,
(iv)extend the Commitment of a Lender or increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that none of (A) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, (B) the extension of the Commitment of any other Lender in accordance with Section 2.06 or (C) the increase of the Commitment of any other Lender in accordance with Section 2.05, shall, in any case, constitute a change in the terms of the Commitment of such Lender),
(v)release the Borrower from all its obligations under the Loan Documents except as permitted hereby,
(vi)reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of “Required Lenders”,
(vii)consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its respective rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents except as permitted hereby or thereby,

(x)change Section 2.21 or Section 2.22 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender.
    72    
			
	

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the LC Issuing Banks in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the LC Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Banks in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Banks under this Agreement; (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (v) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.
(b)In connection with any proposed amendment, change or waiver (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (a) above being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate (or to execute a Power of Attorney to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent to assign and delegate on such Non-Consenting Lender’s behalf) without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 7.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit payments that have not been reimbursed, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 7.05(b)(iv).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the return of the Note held by any such Non-Consenting Lender is not a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.04(b).
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.04, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents (other than the Support Agreement), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of such amendment to the Lenders.
Section 7.05Benefit of Agreement.
(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that, except as permitted by Section 5.02(b), the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent of each of the Lenders; and provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in this Section 7.05.
    73    
			
	

(b)Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans, its Notes, and its Commitment); provided that:
(i)each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;
(ii)except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any Approved Fund or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitment being assigned by such Lender) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
(iii)each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Loans shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such Loans, and each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Loans shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such Lender’s Loans;
(iv)the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500;
(v)except for any (A) Swingline Bank which is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), and (B) any LC Issuing Bank which (1) is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b) and (2) has no Letters of Credit issued by it on such date of replacement, the consents of each LC Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment; and
(vi)in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Pro Rata Share previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank, each Swingline Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that except to the extent otherwise
    74    
			
	

expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.05, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee.  Each assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to an exemption from or reduction of withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.17(g).  To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 7.05 would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.16 or 2.17 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).
(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 7.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Any assignment of any Loan or other obligations shall be effective only upon an entry with respect thereto being made in the Register.
(d)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.
(e)Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower, or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any Defaulting Lender) (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or its Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes, or extending its Commitment).  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.23 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
    75    
			
	

Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
(g)Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority for such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.06.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
Section 7.06Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed and required to keep such Information confidential and not to use such Information except in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and it being further understood that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks will be responsible for any disclosure or use of such Information by its Affiliates and its employees, officers and directors in a manner not permitted by this Section); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that except in connection with any routine bank examination of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swingline Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, such Person or Related Party shall (to the extent permitted by any regulatory authority), at the expense of the Borrower,
    76    
			
	

provide the Borrower and the Parent with prompt (and to the extent practicable, prior) notice of such requested disclosure so that the Borrower or Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and, in any event, such Person or Related Party shall provide only that portion of such Information that in the reasonable judgment of such Person or Related Party, as the case may be, is relevant, advisable or legally required to be provided, to the extent practicable; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swingline Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall (to the extent legally permitted to do so), at the expense of the Borrower, provide the Borrower and the Parent with prompt (and to the extent practicable, prior) notice of such requested disclosure so that the Borrower or Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and, in any event, the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such LC Issuing Bank or such LC Issuing Bank shall provide only that portion of such Information that in the reasonable judgment of such Person is relevant, advisable or legally required to be provided, to the extent practicable; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder and, in any event, only with respect to that portion of Information that is relevant, advisable or legally required in such Person’s reasonable judgment to such exercise of remedies, action or proceeding or enforcement of rights; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower Party (as defined below) that is not known by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swingline Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such Affiliate to be prohibited from disclosing such information to it by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower Party relating to the Borrower, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower Party.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  For purposes of this Section, “Borrower Party” means the Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary, Affiliate, attorney, accountant, auditor, advisor or agent of the Borrower or the Parent.  
Section 7.07Representation by Lender.  Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make its Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided that, subject to Sections 2.23 and 7.05, the disposition of the Loans owed to such Lender and the Notes held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.
Section 7.08Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges the Parent’s and their Affiliates’ understanding, that:  (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower, the Parent and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any Joint Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Joint Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower, the Parent or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, the Parent and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline

Banks and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, the Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower, the Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the Parent, and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, the Parent or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 7.18Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks and neither the Borrower nor the Parent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as Administrative Agent of the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks and, does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.
Section 8.02Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 8.03Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall not be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders, the Swingline Banks or the LC Issuing Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Parent contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Parent to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by the Borrower or the Parent in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, the Swingline Banks or the LC Issuing Banks or by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Swingline Bank or any LC Issuing Bank or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.
    83    
			
	

Section 8.04Reliance on Communications.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care).  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks as the owner of their respective interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.05.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders, Swingline Banks or LC Issuing Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 7.04) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and/or the LC Issuing Banks, as applicable, against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 7.04, all the Lenders, all affected Lenders, all Swingline Banks or all LC Issuing Banks, as applicable) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks, as applicable (including their respective successors and assigns).
Section 8.05Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, a Swingline Bank, an LC Issuing Bank, the Borrower or the Parent referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders.
Section 8.06Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent and their respective Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents
    84    
			
	

expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 8.07Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Parent, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.  With respect to the Loans and all obligations of the Borrower and the Parent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender, any Swingline Bank and any LC Issuing Bank, in such capacity, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Swingline Bank”, “Swingline Banks”, “LC Issuing Bank” and “LC Issuing Banks” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity, as applicable.
Section 8.08Successor Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swingline Banks, the LC Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender or shall be another commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h).  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent (x) is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, or (y) no longer has any Commitment as a Lender, the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Lenders and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent.  In connection with such removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h).  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after its removal (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 8.08(b)) or the Borrower (in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 8.08(b))) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
    85    
			
	

(c)    Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  In the event that no successor has been appointed on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, any Cash Collateral held by the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be held by such Person, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Swingline Banks and the LC Issuing Banks, as applicable, until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed hereunder.
(d)    Any resignation by or removal of Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an LC Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Wells Fargo as the retiring LC Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank, (ii) the retiring LC Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the Borrower shall (at the expense of (x) the retiring Administrative Agent, in the case of a resignation by the Administrative Agent and (y) the Borrower in the case of a removal of the Administrative Agent) (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an LC Issuing Bank to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuing Bank to cause the obligations of the retiring LC Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit to be Cash Collateralized.
Section 8.09Other Agents.  No Joint Lead Arranger nor any Lender identified as an “Agent” (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any such Person which is also a Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank, those applicable to all Lenders, Swingline Banks or LC Issuing Banks, as applicable, as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender, Swingline Bank or LC Issuing Bank.  Each Lender, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
Section 8.10Erroneous Payments.  
(a)    Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice 
    86    
			
	

of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.10(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above.  Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(b)    Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
(c)    In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Type with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 7.05 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
    87    
			
	

(e)    Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.10 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received; provided that this Section 8.10(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations.
(f)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)    Nothing in this Section 8.10 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.
ARTICLE IX

(b)The Company shall elect on each Interest Payment Date (other than the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date), by notice to the Trustee and Holders, whether interest (other than Additional Interest, if any, which shall be payable in cash) for the interest period commencing on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable (1) solely in cash or (2) partially in cash and partially in the form of PIK Interest; provided that if the Company does not timely elect the form of interest payment, then with respect to the Interest Payment Date immediately following such interest period (for purposes of this Section 2.03, the “related Interest Payment Date”) on which date such interest shall be due, the Company will be deemed to have elected to pay interest partially in cash and partially in form of PIK Interest (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to timely make any such election described in this Section 2.03(b) will not constitute a Default or Event of Default).  If, in respect of any interest period, the Company elects or is deemed to elect to pay interest partially in cash and partially in the form of PIK Interest, then interest at the per annum rate of 5.75% shall be payable in cash and interest at the per annum rate of 6.25% shall be payable in the form of PIK Interest.
All accrued and unpaid interest to be paid in cash in accordance with the election of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be paid in cash on the related Interest Payment Date.  On any related Interest Payment Date on which PIK Interest is to be paid on each Note in accordance with the election by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) (each, a “PIK Payment”), the Trustee, or the Notes Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall increase the principal amount of each Note on the books and records of the Note Registrar on the relevant Interest Payment Date by an amount equal to the PIK Interest payable to the credit of the Holders on the relevant Interest Record Date. Following any such increase in the principal amount of each outstanding Note as a result of a PIK Payment, (x) each Note will bear interest on the Then Current Principal Amount thereof after the date of such PIK Payment, and (y) all references herein to the “Then Current Principal Amount” of a Note (and terms of similar import) shall be deemed to refer to the $1,000 Original Principal Amount of such Note on the date of this Indenture together with the amount by which the principal amount of such Note shall have been increased on account of such PIK Payment and on account of all prior PIK Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no PIK Payment shall be permitted (i) on the Maturity Date, (ii) on any Note redeemed in connection with an Optional Redemption or a 
52

Tax Redemption or (iii) on any Note repurchased in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, Fundamental Change Offer or a Springing Repurchase Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Note, interest that accrues for the interest period from the Interest Payment Date of August 15, 2022 to but excluding the Interest Payment Date of November 15, 2022 shall accrue at a rate per annum of 12% and be payable solely in the form of PIK Interest.
(c)The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Interest Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive any cash interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. The principal amount of any Note (x) in the case of any Physical Note, shall be payable to the Holder of those Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States and (y) in the case of any Global Note, shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.
(d)The Company shall pay cash interest (i) on any Physical Notes to the Holder of those Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.
(e)Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate borne by the Notes plus 3.0%, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with any such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i)The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Holders of such special record date of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(e).
(ii)The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, 
53

and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Section 1.04Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of one or more of its Officers.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes and an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder.
Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 18.09), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate executed manually by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
In case any Officer of the Company 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 Company, 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 Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.
Section 1.05Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of and in accordance with a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate upon 
54

receipt of a Company Order, and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be imposed to a Holder by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.
None of the Company, 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 conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes selected for Optional Redemption or Tax 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 Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(f)So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fifth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c), all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the applicable procedures of the Depositary.
(g)Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (together with any Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes that are required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, 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(c) and Section 2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any Disposition or pledge whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
Any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Ordinary Shares, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Notes have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar 
55

provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):
THIS SECURITY AND THE ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE 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:
(1)REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2)AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ROCKLEY PHOTONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, EXCEPT:
(A)TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B)OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, OR
(C)PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(D)TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(E)PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 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 (2)(B) or (E) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM 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.
No transfer of any Note will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.
Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or exclusion from registration provided 
56

by Regulation S under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or any Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), 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 exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.
Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.
At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian in accordance with a Company Order. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased, 
57

redeemed or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with a Company Order to reflect such reduction or increase.
The Trustee in each of its various capacities as designated from time to time hereunder shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary; provided, however, that the Initial Holders shall have such rights expressly provided for in this Indenture. The Trustee in each of its various capacities as designated from time to time hereunder may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon (i) information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners and (ii) any broker letter that is delivered to the Trustee under this Indenture in connection with any certification that is required to be provided by any Initial Holder as to the principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by such Initial Holder.
None of the Note Registrar, the Trustee in each of its various capacities as designated from time to time hereunder or the Conversion Agent shall have any 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 the Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners 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. None of the Note Registrar, the Trustee in each of its various capacities as designated from time to time hereunder, the Conversion Agent or any of their agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
(h)Any share certificate or book-entry representing Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear (in the case of a stock certificate) or have associated with it (in the case of a book-entry) a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Ordinary Shares have been transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or transferred pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Ordinary Shares have been issued upon conversion of a Note that has transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any Transfer Agent for the Ordinary Shares):
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, 
58

SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(3)REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(4)AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ROCKLEY PHOTONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN EXCEPT:
(A)TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B)OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, OR
(C)PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(D)TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(E)PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 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 (2)(B) OR (E) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMPANY’S ORDINARY SHARES RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM 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.
Any such Ordinary Shares (i) that have been transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) that have been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or exclusion from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such Ordinary Shares for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the Transfer Agent for the Ordinary Shares, or upon request for any Ordinary Shares represented by a book entry, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates or updated book entry or entries, as applicable, for a like aggregate number of Ordinary Shares, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).
(i)Any Note or Ordinary Share issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an 
59

Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Ordinary Share, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144). The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.
Section 1.01Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall issue and, upon its written request in a Company Order 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 Company, 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 Company, 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.
Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may, upon receipt of and in accordance with a Company Order, authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may reasonably require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for repurchase or redemption or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion 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 conversion shall furnish to the Company, 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 for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent 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 Company, 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, payment, conversion, redemption 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 
60

hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion, redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 1.02Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and, upon receipt of a Company Order, 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 Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical 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 Company 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 Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company 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 Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 1.03Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc.. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order, be canceled promptly by the Trustee. Except for any Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture, no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided herein. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order, provide copies of such cancelled Notes and related documentation to the Company.
Section 1.04CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness 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 Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” or ISIN numbers.
Section 1.10Additional Notes; Repurchases. THE COMPANY MAY, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE HOLDERS AND NOTWITHSTANDING SECTION 2.01, REOPEN THIS INDENTURE AND ISSUE ADDITIONAL NOTES HEREUNDER TO THE INITIAL HOLDERS WITH THE SAME TERMS AS THE NOTES INITIALLY ISSUED HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN DIFFERENCES IN THE ISSUE DATE, THE ISSUE PRICE AND ANY INTEREST ACCRUED PRIOR TO THE ISSUE DATE OF SUCH ADDITIONAL NOTES) UP TO AN AGGREGATE ORIGINAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $81,500,000 FOR ALL THEN-OUTSTANDING NOTES ISSUED UNDER THIS INDENTURE; PROVIDED THAT SUCH ADDITIONAL NOTES SHALL NOT BE ISSUED LATER THAN THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE ON WHICH THE INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT) IS EFFECTIVE AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT SUCH ADDITIONAL NOTES MUST (X) BE FUNGIBLE

(ii)no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of any Liens to secure such borrowing);
(iii)such Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;
(iv)delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel confirming that beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and
(v)the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the 
64

location of any such other office or agency. The terms Paying Agent and Conversion Agent include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.
The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency in the contiguous United States where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase or for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.
The Company shall at all times ensure that no register is kept or maintained in the United Kingdom in respect of the Notes.
Section 1.010Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, 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 1.011Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company 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:
(i)that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes;

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and any such accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.
(l)If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal and any such accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal of, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.
(m)Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company 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 or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Company 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 or 
65

delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

Section 1.02Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and, upon written request, any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or any Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or such Ordinary Shares may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or Ordinary Shares in accordance with Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time.
(f)The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act), copies of any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Company need not deliver to the Trustee any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment by the SEC. Any such document or report that the Company files with the SEC via EDGAR shall be deemed to be delivered with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via EDGAR; provided that the Trustee has no duty or obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not any such documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR.
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Issue Date and ending at such time that all of the Notes may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or 
66

limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144 (i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to each Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Notes, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Then Current Principal Amount of such Holder’s Notes on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Holder to transfer the Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which each Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.06(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(g)At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not then filing on a voluntary basis quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or annual reports on Form 10-K, at the request of the Requisite Holders Counsel or the Requisite Holders, it shall provide or otherwise make available (including at its option on a password protected website) within the time periods required under clause (b) above (including for the avoidance of doubt after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act) as if the Company were required to file such reports to any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes that requests in writing such quarterly or annual financial statements that would have been required to be included in such report, together with a Financial Officer Certification and a “management discussion and analysis” with respect thereto and in the case of annual financial statements, such financial statements shall also include a report thereon of independent certified public accountants of recognized regional standing selected by the Company (which report shall state that such consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates indicated and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods indicated in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with prior years (except as otherwise disclosed in such financial statements) and that the examination by such accountants in connection with such consolidated financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) (such report shall also include (x) a detailed summary of any audit adjustments; (y) a reconciliation of any audit adjustments or reclassifications to the previously provided monthly or quarterly financials; and (z) restated monthly or quarterly financials for any impacted periods).
(h)The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze any document or report furnished or made available to it. Delivery of the reports and documents described in Section 4.06(b) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive or actual notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).
67

(i)The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change to its fiscal year (it being expressly understood that the failure to provide such notice to the Trustee shall not be deemed a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture).
(j)So long as any Notes are outstanding, within 10 Business Days after delivering or being deemed to have delivered to the Trustee annual or quarterly financial information required by Section 4.06(b), unless, in each case, the Company reasonably determines that to do so would conflict with applicable securities laws, including in connection with any pending offering of securities, the Company will hold a conference call with Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors to discuss such financial information for the relevant reporting period (it being understood that such conference call may be the same conference call as with the Company’s equity investors and analysts).  No fewer than two days prior to any such conference call, the Company will issue a press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such conference call.
Section 1.03Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any,  or any interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(m)For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Section 4.09(b) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification), in any manner that complies with this covenant. The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of interest in the form of additional shares of preferred Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the 
74

form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant, provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.
(n)The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(xxiv)the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(xxv)the aggregate principal amount outstanding, in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind;
(xxvi)the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(xxvii)in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: (x) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and (y) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
(r)For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
Section 1.10Limitations on Liens.
(s)The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, such Subsidiary; provided that in the case of Liens that constitute Permitted Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and any applicable Guarantee are secured by a Lien on such property or assets of the Company or such Guarantor and the proceeds thereof that is senior in priority to such Liens pursuant to a Permitted Intercreditor Agreement.
(t)The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Note Parties to, create, incur or assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired which Lien secures Indebtedness and is secured on a pari passu basis with the Note Obligations or higher in priority to the Liens securing the Notes other than Liens permitted pursuant to clause (j), (k), (w), (aa) 
75

and (dd) of the definition of Permitted Liens (and subject to the limitations set forth in such clauses).

Upon consummation or expiration of any Asset Sale Offer, any remaining Net Available Cash may be used by the Issuer for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 1.01Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(p) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, premium, if any and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(p) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable. If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date as a result of or during the continuance of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(p)), then the amount that becomes due and payable shall include (in addition to the other amounts described in the immediately-preceding sentence) a premium equal to the Redemption Premium calculated as of the date of such acceleration or date the Notes become due prior to the Maturity Date, determined as if such acceleration or due date were a Redemption Date pursuant to a Make-Whole Redemption of the Notes under Section 16.01(c) on the date of such acceleration or due date (regardless of whether any Make-Whole Redemption would otherwise be prohibited under Section 16.01(c) as of such acceleration or due date, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 16.04(a) or Section 16.04(b)); provided, however, that (i) solely for purposes of calculating such premium, the “Notes to be redeemed” as that term is used in the definition of Redemption Premium shall not include any Notes previously called for redemption prior to the date of such acceleration or the date the Notes became due prior to the Maturity Date, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Holder shall be entitled to the Redemption Premium on such Notes that were previously called for redemption prior to such applicable date. Any Redemption Premium (including any Redemption Premium due as a result of the immediately-preceding sentence) shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Notes (including the amount of such Redemption Premium) from and after the applicable triggering event.
94

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of any accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes, premium, and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of any accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal, in each case, at the then applicable interest rate borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium,  and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Requisite Holders, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes (including, without limitation, any Interest Make-Whole Payment).
Except as specifically provided for in this Indenture, each Holder has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from redemption or repayment by the Company and the provision for payment of a Redemption Premium in the first paragraph of this Section 6.02 by the Company in the event that the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date as a result of or following an Event of Default is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date as a result of or during the continuance of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(p)), the Redemption Premium with respect to a Make-Whole Redemption of the Notes under Section 16.01(c) (regardless of whether any Make-Whole Redemption would otherwise be prohibited under Section 16.01(c) as of such acceleration or due date, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 16.04) as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6.02 will also be due and payable and shall constitute part of the Obligations with respect to the Notes to the extent provided in such paragraph, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the Company and the Holders to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits and damages as the result thereof. Any such Redemption Premium shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the early redemption or repayment, and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. Such Redemption Premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes (and/or this Indenture) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether or not by the power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, court order or by any other means. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAWS THAT PROHIBITS THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Redemption Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s-length 
95

transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Redemption Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time redemption or repayment is made; (C) no portion of the Redemption Premium represents “unmatured interest” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. §502(b)(2); (D) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Redemption Premium; and (E) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Redemption Premium to Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase, exchange into, or otherwise accept the Notes.
Section 1.02    Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall for the first 360 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not commence until the notice described in Section 6.01(f) above has been given and the related 60-day period described in Section 6.01(f) above shall have elapsed), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes in cash 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 during which such Event of Default is continuing and 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding from the 181st day to, and including, the 360th day during which such Event of Default is continuing. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.03. On the 361st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 4.06(b) is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. No Additional Interest shall accrue pursuant to this Section 6.03, and no right to declare the principal or other amounts due and payable in respect of the Notes shall exist, commencing on the date that the Event of Default has been cured; provided that such Event of Default is cured during such 360 day period.
In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify in writing all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date that such Additional Interest shall begin to accrue. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
Section 1.03Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company 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, premium, if any, and interest, with interest on any overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest at the then-applicable interest rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may 
96

enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, 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, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and post-petition interest (regardless of whether allowed or allowable), if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, each of their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, administrator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to 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 and Collateral Agent any amount due to them for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent 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, the Collateral Agent, their 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 
97

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 pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, 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 Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 1.04Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property 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 or property, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.06;
Second, to payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal, if any, premium, if any, and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest, payable upon such overdue amounts at the rate of interest then payable on such Notes, if any, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal, premium, if any, and any interest without preference or priority of principal over such interest, or of any interest over principal, premium or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and any accrued and unpaid interest; and
Third, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 1.05Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any,  or any interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of 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:
(q)such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;
(r)Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(s)such Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee such security or indemnity that is satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee’s legal counsel);
98

(t)the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
(u)no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Requisite Holders, within such 60 day period pursuant to Section 6.09, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (w) the principal  of, (x) premium, if any, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 1.06Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its sole 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 1.07Remedies 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 1.08Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Requisite Holders. The Requisite Holders 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 (a) such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred therein or thereby (including fees and expenses of the Trustee’s legal counsel), (b) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with 
99

this Indenture, and (c) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Holders to the detriment of other Holders or otherwise be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not joining therein and (e) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would involve the Trustee in personal liability, subject it to reputational harm or be unduly prejudicial to Holders of Notes not joining therein, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that 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 such direction is unduly prejudicial to any Holder) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Requisite Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, 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 1.10Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, promptly after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice, deliver to all Holders notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice.
Section 1.11Undertaking 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 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, 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 right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

Section 1.05Compensation and Expenses of Trustee; Indemnity. The Company and Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent from time to time, and each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and under the Note Security Documents 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 from time to time between the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee and Collateral Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture and the Note Security Documents in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, professional advisors and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ). The Company and Guarantors, jointly and severally, also covenant to indemnify the Trustee and Collateral Agent in any capacity under this Indenture, the Note Security Documents 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 incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent (as applicable), or either of its respective 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 of liability in the premises and the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending themselves against any actual, threatened or prospective 
104

investigation, litigation or other proceeding, claims (in each case whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, consultants’ fees and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including any removal or remedial actions or other environmental claims). The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and Collateral Agent and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien 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 for the payment of principal, premium, if any,  and interest on particular Notes. The Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’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 Company. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Agent. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee and Collateral Agent.
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(i) or Section 6.01(j) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.
Section 1.06Officer’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 or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, 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 or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, 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 1.07Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or other legal entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by the U.S. federal and state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least the minimum amount required by the Trust Indenture Act. 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. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
Section 1.08Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by delivering notice thereof to the Holders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company 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 
105

appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, appoint a successor trustee identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or if any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of himself or herself 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.
(bi)In case at any time any of the following shall occur:
(i)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 Company or by any such Holder, or
(ii)the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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 either case, the Company may 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 (or since the date of this Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself 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.
(x)The Requisite Holders, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time with 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Trustee remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within 10 days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.
(y)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 acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.
(z)Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.09, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
(aa)The Trustee shall not be liable for any action or inaction on the part of any successor trustee.
Section 1.10Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the 
106

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 Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act 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 Company 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, 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 Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders, as provided in this Indenture. If the Company fails to deliver such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be delivered at the expense of the Company.
Section 1.11Succession 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 to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, 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.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 1.12Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (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 
107

which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Company 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 three (3) Business Days after the date any Officer that the Company has indicated to the Trustee should receive such application is deemed to receive such application in accordance with Section 18.03, 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.
ARTICLE 8
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
Section 1.015Action 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 by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company 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 15 days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.
Section 1.016Proof 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.
Section 1.017Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion 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 Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any,  and (subject to Section 2.03) any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes under this Indenture; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or Ordinary Shares so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares 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 Company, 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 1.018Company-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 Company, by any 
108

Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded 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 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 Company, a Subsidiary thereof or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. 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 request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
Section 1.019Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

The provisions set forth in this Section 11.01 shall not restrict (and shall not apply to): (i) any Subsidiary consolidating with, merging with or into, or selling, conveying, transferring or leasing all or substantially all of its assets to the Company and (ii) the creation of a new Guarantor.

113

substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

ARTICLE 13
GUARANTEES
Section 1.09Guarantees. (a) Subject to this Article 13, each of the Guarantors hereby, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the 
114

Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(i)the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes and such other Note Obligations will be promptly paid in full in cash when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full in cash or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and
(ii)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations (including Note Obligations), that same will be promptly paid in full in cash when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(a)The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any amendment, waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (i) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (ii) any notice of acceptance; (iii) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Note Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (iv) any other notice in respect of any Note Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company or any Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable requirement of law to require the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to seek recourse first against the Company or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Note Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Article 13.
(b)If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(c)Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Company or any Guarantor by reason of any Note Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against the Company or any other Guarantor or set off any of its obligations to the Company or any other Guarantor against obligations of such Guarantor to the Company or such other Guarantor. in each case, until payment in full in cash of all obligations (including the Note Obligations) guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, 
115

on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.
(d)Without limiting the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors to the Trustee, Collateral Agent and Holders, all Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Indenture. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee of the Notes such that its Aggregate Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under its guarantee of the Notes in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under its guarantee of the Notes that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state or other applicable law, provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 13.01, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of its guarantee of the Notes (including in respect of this Section 13.01), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 13.01. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 13.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Guarantors shall not have the right to seek contribution from the Company and any non-paying Guarantor until payment in full in cash of all Note Obligations.
(e)Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 13.01.
Section 1.010Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
(a)Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of applicable Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state or other applicable law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing 
116

intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 13, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its Guarantee, and the waivers set forth herein, are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of any Guarantor organized outside the United States of America may be limited as necessary to (1) comply with applicable law, (2) avoid any general legal limitations such as general statutory limitations, financial assistance, maintenance of share capital, corporate benefit, “thin capitalization” rules, retention of title claims or similar matters, or (3) avoid a conflict with the fiduciary duties of such company’s directors, contravention of any legal prohibition or regulatory condition, or the material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officers or directors, in each case of clause (1) through (3), as reasonably determined by the Company. Not in limitation of the immediately preceding sentence but in furtherance thereof and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Document, (1) the liabilities and obligations of any Guarantor incorporated in Finland under the Note Documents shall be limited if and only to the extent it would constitute (i) financial assistance within the meaning of Chapter 13, Section 10 of the Finnish Companies Act (Fi: osakeyhtiölaki, 624/2006, as amended), (ii) unlawful distribution of assets within the meaning of Chapter 13, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act or (iii) a breach of other applicable mandatory provisions of the Finnish Companies Act, and (2) in respect of each Irish Note Party, the Guarantee of such Irish Note Party shall not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in such Guarantee (i) constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Irish Companies Act or (ii) constituting a breach of Section 239 of the Irish Companies Act. Each Irish Guarantor acknowledges that to the extent that this guarantee has been validated under Section 202 of the Irish Companies Act it shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under Section 82 of the Irish Companies Act and to the extent that Section 243 of the Irish Companies Act applies it shall not constitute a breach of Section 239 of the Irish Companies Act.
Section 1.011Execution and Delivery of Guarantee and Supplemental Indenture. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its execution and delivery of this Indenture or, if applicable, a Supplemental Indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B with such modifications as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to comply with the Agreed Guarantee Principles, in each case, by one of its officers or authorized representatives, shall evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 without the need for notation on the Notes.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.
If an officer or authorized representative whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will be deemed to constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
Section 1.012Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.04, a Guarantor may not, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate with or 
117

merge with or into, or (2) sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), any other Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
(f)immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby; and
(g)either:
(i)the Person acquiring the property in any such Disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or another Guarantor) expressly assumes, by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Article 10 hereof, all of the obligations of that Guarantor under its Guarantee, this Indenture and, if a Guarantor, all appropriate Note Security Documents; or
(ii)such transaction is permitted by Section 4.08 and Section 4.11.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of the Guarantee of such Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by such Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Guarantee of such successor Person will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. All the Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution.
Except as set forth in Article 4, and notwithstanding Section 13.04(a), Section 13.04(b)(i) and Section 13.04(b)(ii) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or a Guarantor, or will prevent any Disposition of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Guarantor. 
Section 1.01Releases. TheSubject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantee of any Guarantor, and the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral of such Guarantor, will be automatically released:
(h)in connection with any Disposition of all of the Equity Interests or all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to such Person that is not the Company or a Guarantor if the Disposition does not violate Section 4.11 and the other provisions of this Indenture; and
(i)upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor as permitted hereunder.
If the Guarantee of any Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor or the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are sold or disposed of in the manner described in clauses (a) or (b) above, and such Guarantor (or as the context may require, Collateral) is released, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate 
118

and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating and certifying the identity of the released Guarantor (and/or the applicable Collateral), the basis for release in reasonable detail and that such release complies with this Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee and Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the conditions of any of clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 13.05 have been met with respect to a Guarantor (or such Collateral) in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company that are necessary or advisable in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee and/or the applicable Note Security Documents. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee as provided in this Section 13.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations (including the Note Obligations) of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 13 notwithstanding the release of any other Guarantor.
Section 1.013Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Company, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Note Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Note Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and each Holder shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, then the Trustee, Collateral Agent or such Holder shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such Person, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.
ARTICLE 14
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 1.014Conversion Privilege. 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 convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 Original Principal Amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at an initial conversion rate of 324.6753 Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Conversion Obligation”) prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
Section 1.015Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.
(j)Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b), Section 14.07(a) and Section 14.13, upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes being converted, a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Then Current Principal Amount of such Note by (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional Ordinary Share in accordance with Section 14.02(k), and the Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, as set forth in this Section 14.02.
(k)Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal 
119

to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver a notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the Original Principal Amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any Ordinary Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation (and any Interest Make-Whole Payment) to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h). The Trustee (or if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be delivered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered to the Company an election to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer, Fundamental Change Offer or Springing Repurchase Offer in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such election in accordance with Section 15.03(b) or Section 15.05, as the case may be.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation and Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(l)A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 14.02(b). Except as set forth in Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), the Company shall deliver the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation and the Interest Make-Whole Payment on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. If any Ordinary Shares are due to a converting Holder, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of Ordinary Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary (if such facilities are then available), in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation, which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Issue Date or any later date of original issue of Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, notwithstanding the provision of Section 2.05(d) hereof.  
In the event Ordinary Shares are being delivered in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph as first being issued without a restrictive legend in reliance on any Holder’s intention to resell such Ordinary Shares in reliance on Rule 144, such Holder shall, at the time of delivery of the related conversion notice, represent to the Company and its counsel that (i) it intends to sell such Ordinary Shares prior to the filing date of the Company’s next periodic report and (ii) if such Ordinary Shares are not sold by such filing date and such Ordinary Shares are no longer eligible for resale under Rule 144, such Holder will deliver such shares (including as applicable by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC) to the Transfer Agent or to the Company to have the restrictive legend placed back on such certificates representing such Ordinary  Shares (and in the case of any Warrant Shares delivered through the facilities of DTC, the Company shall issue physical certificates in exchange for such Ordinary Shares so delivered).
If in respect of a conversion the Company fails for any reason to deliver to any Holder such Ordinary Shares on the second Trading Day following the Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not 
120

as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Original Principal Amount of Notes being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered to such Holder or such Holder rescinds such conversion.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Notes within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to such Holder such Ordinary Shares upon conversion by the Share Delivery Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.02(c), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or such Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Ordinary Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under this Section 14.02(c).  For example, if a Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Notes with respect to which the actual sale price of the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon conversion (including any brokerage commissions) and giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000.  An applicable Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Notes as required under this Indenture.
(m)In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate Original Principal Amount equal to the unconverted portion of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of the surrendered Note or Notes, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
(n)If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any Ordinary Shares upon 
121

conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the Ordinary Shares being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(o)Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any Ordinary Shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.
(p)Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the aggregate Original Principal Amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(q)Subject to Section 14.02(i) and except as set forth below, upon any conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Subject to Section 14.02(i) and except as set forth below, the Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation (and any Interest Make-Whole Payment) shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the Then Current Principal Amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on an Interest Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Interest Record Date shall receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Interest 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 converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after an Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the date on which the corresponding interest payment is made; (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note; or (4) for any conversion of Notes as to which an Interest Make-Whole Payment is payable (or Section 14.02(i) is otherwise applicable). Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Interest Record Date.
(r)Upon any conversion, other than a conversion “in connection with” a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Springing Repurchase Offer, a Make-Whole Redemption or a Tax Redemption, the Company will, in addition to the other consideration payable or deliverable in connection with such conversion, make an interest make-whole payment to the converting Holder equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes to be converted had such Notes remained outstanding from the Conversion Date to and including the Maturity Date (the “Interest Make-Whole Payment”); provided that if the applicable Conversion Date occurs after the close of business on an Interest Record Date but prior to the open of business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Interest Record Date, the Company shall not pay accrued interest to any converting Holder and will instead pay the full amount of the relevant interest payment on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record on such Interest Record Date.  In such case, the Interest Make-Whole Payment to such converting Holder will equal all remaining interest payments, starting with the next 
122

Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been provided for to and including the Maturity Date.  For purposes of determining the Interest Make-Whole Payment, the Applicable Annual Rate shall be the rate applicable to interest payments to be made solely in cash, unless the Company elects to deliver Ordinary Shares in order to effect such payment, in which case, the Applicable Annual Rate shall be the rate applicable to interest payments to be paid partially in cash and partially in the form of PIK Interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03.  The Company shall pay the Interest Make-Whole Payment either (A) in cash or (B) if the Beneficial Ownership Limitations would not limit such payment, by delivery of Ordinary Shares, with the value of each Ordinary Share so delivered equal to 95% of the simple average of the Daily VWAP for the 5 consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the fifth Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Interest Make-Whole Valuation Period”), provided such price exceeds the minimum price permitted by the New York Stock Exchange (or such other principal U.S. stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed). In the event a per-share value equal to 95% of the simple average of the Daily VWAPs for the Interest Make-Whole Valuation Period is less than the minimum price permitted by the New York Stock Exchange, the Company shall pay the Interest Make-Whole Payment in cash. The Company shall notify the converting Holder of the Company’s election to pay the Interest Make-Whole Payment in Ordinary Shares no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not elect to pay any Interest Make-Whole Payment through the delivery of Ordinary Shares if, at the time of such election, a resale registration statement is not effective (or is not reasonably expected to remain effective at all times from and after the date of such election until the date that is 90 days following the date of such election) and a resale prospectus has not been made available to Holders (or is not reasonably expected to remain available to Holders at all times from and after the date of such election until the date that is 90 days following the date of such election) in each case relating to resales of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, regardless of whether the failure of such registration statement to be effective or the non-availability of such resale prospectus constitutes a Registration Default, as such term is defined in the Subscription Agreement.
(s)The Person in whose name the Ordinary Shares shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.
(t)The Company shall not issue any fractional Ordinary Share upon conversion of the Notes (including any Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with an Interest Make-Whole Payment) and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Ordinary Share issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date. 
(u)If certificates or other instruments representing Ordinary Shares are delivered in satisfaction of any Interest Make-Whole Payment, such Ordinary Shares shall either be (i) freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were not the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three immediately preceding months) pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 or pursuant to the exclusion from registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation S, or (ii) subject to resale pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act and whose use has not been suspended by the Company.
Section 1.016Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Make-Whole Fundamental Changes, a Springing Repurchase Offer or Tax Redemption and Registration Defaults. 
123

(a)If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related repurchase date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the 25th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).
(b)Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 14.03(a), the Company shall, if required, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the table below in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Share Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Share Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation (and any applicable Interest Make-Whole Payment) shall be paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes (which notification may be made through the Depositary), the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five (5) Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c)The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per Ordinary Share in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Share Price”). If the holders of the Ordinary Shares receive in exchange for their Ordinary Shares only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.  The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Share Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date (as such term is used in Section 14.04) or expiration date of the event occurs during such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period.
(d)The Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table 
124

below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.
(e)The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Share Price and Effective Date set forth below:
																																	
		Share Price
	Effective Date	$2.80	$3.08	$3.25	$3.50	$3.75	$4.00	$4.50	$5.00	$6.00	$7.00
	May 27, 2022	32.4675	32.4675	32.4675	32.4675	27.1201	22.3394	15.0681	9.9665	3.7335	0.6450
	May 15, 2023	32.4675	32.4675	32.4675	32.0958	26.1742	21.3491	14.1232	9.1433	3.2119	0.4628
	May 15, 2024	32.4675	32.4675	32.4675	29.6138	23.6246	18.8548	11.9288	7.3470	2.1608	0.0991
	May 15, 2025	32.4675	32.4675	29.1908	21.5070	15.8526	11.6636	6.1917	3.0476	0.2145	-
	May 15, 2026	32.4675	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-

(f)The exact Share Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i)if the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii)if the Share Price is greater than $7.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to Section 14.03(d)), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii)if the Share Price is less than $2.80 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to Section 14.03(d)), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 357.1428 Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.
(v)Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(w)The Conversion Rate for Notes surrendered for conversion “in connection with a Springing Repurchase Offer” shall be subject to increase by a number of Additional Shares, if any, in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.04. The Conversion Rate for Notes surrendered "in connection with a Tax Redemption" or “in connection with a Make-Whole Redemption” shall be subject to increase by a number of Additional Shares, if any, in accordance 
125

with the provisions of Section 16.05.  In the event that a conversion "in connection with" a Springing Repurchase Offer or a Tax Redemption or a Make-Whole Redemption would also be deemed to be a conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder of the Notes to be converted will be entitled to a single increase to the Conversion Rate using the applicable Share Price and Effective Date that would yield the largest number of Additional Shares.
(x)In addition to, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if a Holder submits a Note for conversion during a period when a Registration Default (which has the meaning ascribed to “Event” in  Section 2(d) in the Registration Rights Agreement) exists, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate by 5.0% for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted at a time when such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Registration Default occurs after a Holder has converted a Note for Ordinary Shares, such Holder shall not be entitled to any compensation with respect to such Ordinary Shares or such converted Note. 
Section 1.017Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Ordinary Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a)If the Company exclusively issues Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution on the Ordinary Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 × (OS’ ÷ OS0)
where,
									
	CR0
	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for 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;
	CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable;
	OS0
	=	the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination), as applicable; and
	OS’	=	the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable.

126

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 but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b)If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a shareholder rights plan of the Company) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 × (OS0 + X) ÷ (OS0 + Y)
where,
									
	CR0
	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
	CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
	OS0
	=	the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
	X	=	the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
	Y	=	the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (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 Ordinary Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so 
127

issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Ordinary Shares to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares at a price per share less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c)If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b) (or will be so effected in accordance with the second sentence of Section 14.04(j)), (ii) except as set forth in Section 14.13, rights issued under a shareholder rights plan of the Company, (iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 14.04(d) shall apply, and (iv) 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, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 × (SP0 ÷ (SP0 – FMV))
where,
									
	CR0
	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
	SP0
	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (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 Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding Ordinary Shares on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion 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 “SP0” (as defined above), in 
128

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 Ordinary Shares receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such 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 Ordinary Shares of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR’ = CR0 × ((FMV0 + MP0) ÷ MP0)
where,
									
	CR0
	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
	CR’	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
	FMV0
	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares applicable to one Ordinary Share (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Ordinary Shares were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”) provided that if there is no Last Reported Sale Price of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares on such Ex-Dividend Date, the Valuation Period shall be the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the first date such Last Reported Sale Price is available; and

	MP0
	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding 
129

paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.13), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Ordinary Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Ordinary Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share purchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:
(A)a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B)a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall 
130

then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Ordinary Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).
(y)If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

						
	where,	
	CR0     =
	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

	CR’    =	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
	SP0     =
	the Last Reported Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

	C     =	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Ordinary Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
(z)If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Ordinary Shares (other than an odd lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share exceeds 
131

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

						
	where,	
	CR0    =
	 the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

	CR’    =	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
	AC    =	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for Ordinary Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
	OS0    = 
	the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

	OS’    =	the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
	SP’    =	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next 
132

succeeding the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If the Company is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in Section 14.04(e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been made.
(aa)Notwithstanding this Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the Ordinary Shares as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.02(j) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for the Notes converted by such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Ordinary Shares on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(ab)Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or the right to purchase Ordinary Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(ac)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 exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Ordinary Shares or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares (or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of each Note a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
(ad)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i)upon the issuance of Ordinary Shares at a price below the Conversion Price then in effect or otherwise, other than any such issuance described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c) of this Section 14.04;
(ii)upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares under any plan;
(iii)upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit or incentive plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
133

(iv)upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(v)for a third-party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries as described in Section 14.04(e);
(vi)upon the repurchase of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to an open market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward repurchase transactions, or other buy-back transaction, that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the kind described in Section 14.04(e);
(vii)solely for a change in the nominal or par value of the Ordinary Shares (if applicable); or
(viii)for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
(a)All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required pursuant to Section 14.04(a) through (e) would result in a change of less than one percent to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the Conversion Rate; (ii) on the Conversion Date for any Notes; (iii) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change; and (iv) the date, if any, on which the Company provides a notice of Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption or of a Springing Repurchase Offer.
(b)Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(c)For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Ordinary Shares.
Section 1.018Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, or the Daily VWAPs, over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, the period for determining the Share Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, 
134

Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, or the Daily VWAPs, are to be calculated.
Section 1.019Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient Ordinary Shares to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming delivery of the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03 and that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).
Section 1.020Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Ordinary Shares.
(ae)In the case of:
(i)any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Ordinary Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or solely from a change of nominal or par value or to no nominal or par value),
(ii)any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,
(iii)any Disposition to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
(iv)any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Ordinary Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Ordinary Share is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee (and without the consent of the Holders) a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event any Ordinary Shares that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of Ordinary Shares would have received in such Merger Event.
If the Merger Event causes the Ordinary Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one Ordinary Share. If the holders of the Ordinary Shares receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due 
135

upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per Ordinary Share in such Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying such cash amount to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
The supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.
(d)When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 14.07(a), the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(e)The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into Ordinary Shares, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.
(f)The above provisions of this Section 14.07(d) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 1.021[Reserved]. 
Section 1.022Certain Covenants.  (a)  The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(af)The Company further covenants that if at any time the Ordinary Shares shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will use reasonable best efforts to list and keep listed, so long as the Ordinary Shares shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 1.10Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the 
136

method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Ordinary Shares, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Ordinary Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 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 Company shall be obligated to deliver to the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. None of the Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder, the Conversion Agent or any of their agents shall be responsible for monitoring or determining whether any Beneficial Ownership Limitations have been met and shall be entitled to rely conclusively on written notice provided by the Company as to such matters and any other matters with respect to the Ordinary Shares. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent.
Section 1.11Beneficial Ownership Limitations. (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no Holder will be entitled to receive Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Notes and no conversion of Notes shall take place to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt (or conversion) would cause such Holder and its Affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Notes with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any purported delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the converting Holder violating the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. Solely for the purpose of this Section 14.11, in the case of Global Notes, “Holder” shall mean a person that holds a beneficial interest in the Notes and not the Depository Trust Company or its nominee.
(ag)To the extent that the limitation contained in this provision applies, the determination of whether any Notes are convertible (in relation to other securities beneficially owned by the Holder) and of which principal amount of such Notes are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether any Notes may be converted (in relation to other 
137

securities beneficially owned by the Holder) and which principal amount such Notes are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder shall be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 14.11 and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(ah)For purposes of this Section 14.11, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to such Holder setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by the Holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported.
(ai)The “General Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.90% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Notes held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, may elect a beneficial ownership limit as to such Holder (but not as to any other Holder) (such limit, a “Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation” and together with the General Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations”) that is less than or equal to the General Beneficial Ownership Limitation then applicable to the Holders. Any Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation will be effective as of (i) the Issue Date for the Notes, for any notice delivered prior to the issuance of such Notes, and (ii) the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company in all other cases.
(aj)Any Notes surrendered for conversion for which Ordinary Shares are not delivered due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations shall not be extinguished and, such Holder may either:
(i)request return of the Notes surrendered by such Holder for conversion, after which the Company shall deliver such Notes to such Holder within two Trading Days after receipt of such request; or
(ii)certify to the Company that the person (or persons) receiving Ordinary Shares upon conversion is not, and would not, as a result of such conversion, become the beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares outstanding at such time in excess of the applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitations, after which the Company shall deliver any such Ordinary Shares withheld on account of such applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitations by the later of (x) the date such shares were otherwise due to such person (or persons) and (y) two Trading Days after receipt of such certification; provided, however, until such time as the affected Holder gives such notice, no person shall be deemed to be the shareholder of record with respect to the Ordinary Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion in excess of any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitations.  Upon delivery of such notice, the provisions under Section 14.02 shall apply to the Ordinary Shares to be delivered pursuant to such notice.
Section 1.1Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:
138

(ak)action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 or Section 14.13;
(al)Merger Event; or
(am)voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Ordinary Shares of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 1.12Shareholder Rights Plans. If the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each Ordinary Share issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 1.13Supplemental Provisions Relating to Conversions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, as a condition to the exercise by a Holder of its conversion rights under this Indenture and the Notes at any time prior to the Outside Date, such converting Holder shall be deemed to exercise its right to purchase additional Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(g) of the Subscription Agreement using the cash proceeds of the Interest Make-Whole Payment due upon such conversion if, at the time of such conversion, (x) the Company shall be precluded in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(i) from delivering Ordinary Shares in respect of the Interest Make-Whole Payment due upon such conversion and (y) the converting Holder is entitled to purchase additional Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(g) of the Subscription Agreement.  If at any time prior to the Outside Date a Holder converts Notes when (A) the Company shall be precluded in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(i) from delivering Ordinary Shares in respect of the Interest Make-Whole Payment due upon such conversion and (B) the converting Holder is not entitled to purchase additional Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(g) of the Subscription Agreement, then the Company shall satisfy its obligation in full to pay the Interest Make-Whole Payment due upon such conversion to such converting Holder through the delivery of Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02(i); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.02(i), the value of each Ordinary Share to be so delivered 
139

shall be equal to the minimum price permitted by the New York Stock Exchange (which minimum price, as of the date hereof, is equal to $2.80 per Ordinary Share). 
The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain Shareholder Consent on a date not later than the Outside Date. (It being understood that such best efforts will not require the payment of a fee to any shareholder of the Company.)  Upon obtaining Shareholder Consent, the penultimate sentence of the first paragraph of Section 14.02(i) of this Indenture shall be deemed stricken from this Indenture and the provisions of such sentence shall no longer be deemed to have any further force or effect.

(av)At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, for cash, in whole, and not in part, in an amount equal to the sum of the Redemption Price plus the Redemption Premium (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date if the Notes have not been redeemed prior to such Interest Record Date). For any Optional Redemption pursuant to this Section 16.01(c), the Issuer will (a) calculate the Treasury Rate no later than the second (2nd) Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption Date and (b) prior to such Redemption Date, deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Redemption Premium and the Treasury Rate and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

(v)that Holders may surrender Notes subject to such Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption, as the case may be, for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes subject to such Optional Redemption may convert such Notes until the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for);
(vi)the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes subject to Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption, as the case may be;
(vii)the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on the date that such notice is provided and, if applicable in connection with a Tax Redemption, the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes after giving effect to the provisions of Section 16.05 hereof; and;

The Notice of Redemption, if given in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
Section 1.01Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. 
146

(ax)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 Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption at the 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 Company at the Redemption Price.

(ay)Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), 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 Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
Section 1.02Restrictions on Redemption. 
(k)The Company may not provide a Notice of Redemption in respect of an Optional Redemption or a Tax Redemption to Holders, if, at the time such Notice of Redemption is to be provided, a resale registration statement is not effective (or is not reasonably expected to remain effective at all times from and after the date such Notice of Redemption is provided until the date that is 90 days following the Redemption Date) and a resale prospectus has not been made available to Holders (or is not reasonably expected to remain available to Holders at all times from and after the date such Notice of Redemption is provided until the date that is 90 days following the Redemption Date) in each case relating to resales of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, regardless of whether the failure of such registration statement to be effective or the non-availability of such resale prospectus constitutes a Registration Default, as such term is defined in the Subscription Agreement. 
(l)The Company may not redeem any Notes on any date pursuant to its Optional Redemption right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01 or its Tax Redemption right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 18.17(b)(i) 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 (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).
(m)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 16.04(a) or Section 16.04(b), nothing in this Section 16.04 shall impair Holders’ right to recover a premium equal to the Redemption Premium as provided in the last two sentences of the first paragraph of Section 6.02 (calculated as set forth therein) if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the Maturity Date as a result of or following an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j)).
Section 1.03Redemption Make-Whole Conversion Right.  The Conversion Rate for any Notes converted by Holders in accordance with the Article 14 hereof in connection with a Tax Redemption or a Make-Whole Redemption shall be increased by a number of Additional Shares as though such Notes had been converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental 
147

Change in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.03 hereof. For purposes of Section 14.03 and this Section 16.05:

(b)the Effective Date will be deemed to be the date on which the Company provides the related Redemption Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.02 hereof; and
(c)the Share Price will be deemed to be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the related Redemption Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.02 hereof.

After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may (but will not be obligated to) direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture.
(bc)None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates will (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct

The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or

(bi)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Note Security Documents or any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Note Security Documents or any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement (including without limitation the obligation to give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments as shall be necessary to (i) create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture and the Note Security Documents or (ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents with respect to such pledge and security interest), nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for, and the Collateral Agent makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Note Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(bm)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, any Permitted Intercreditor Agreement or the Note Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability.  The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Note Security Documents without risk of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and enter into any such Note Security Document if the Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that such Note Collateral Document is reasonably likely to adversely affect any of the Collateral Agent’s rights, benefits, immunities, privileges or indemnities hereunder, require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or cause the Collateral Agent to incur any loss, liability or expense.

The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
Section 1.17Withholding Taxes; Tax Redemption.
(bu)Taxes.
161

(i)For purposes of this Section 18.17(a), the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(ii)Any and all payments or deliveries by or on account of any obligation of any Note Party under any Note Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment or delivery, then the applicable party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Note Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 18.17(a)) the applicable Recipient or beneficial owner of such Notes, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. References in this Section 18.17(a)(ii) to a deduction or withholding from a payment or delivery shall include a deduction or withholding required to be made upon the issue of Ordinary Shares in satisfaction of amounts in respect of the Notes and/or on a Conversion and the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct or withhold Ordinary Shares from any such issue in satisfaction of its deduction or withholding obligations for Taxes; provided if any such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional shares deliverable under this Section 18.17(a)) the applicable Recipient or beneficial owner of such Notes, as applicable, receives a number of shares equal to the number it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(iii)In addition, the Note Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Holders timely reimburse them for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(iv)The Note Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Recipient or beneficial owner of Notes, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable or deliverable under this Section 18.17(a)) payable or paid by such Recipient or beneficial owner of Notes or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment or delivery to such Recipient or beneficial owner of Notes and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee), or by the Trustee on its own behalf or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(v)[reserved] 
(vi)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Note Party to a Government Authority pursuant to this Section, the Company or applicable Note Party shall deliver to the Trustee the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
162

(vii)Any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments or deliveries made under any Note Document (other than in respect of withholding Tax imposed by the United Kingdom) shall deliver to the Company and the Trustee, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee as will permit such payments or deliveries to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Holder, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee as will enable the Company or the Trustee to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
(viii)If any party (referred to in this paragraph as an “indemnified party”) determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes in respect of which it has received additional amounts pursuant to this Section 18.17(a) or as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 18.17(a) (including by the payment or delivery of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 18.17(a)), it shall pay to the party that paid such additional amounts or indemnity payments, as applicable, (referred to in this paragraph as an “indemnifying party”) an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts or indemnity payments made under this Section 18.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Subsection 18.17(a)(viii) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 18.17(a)(viii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Subsection 18.17(a)(viii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Subsection 18.17(a)(viii) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(ix)Each party’s obligations under this Subsection 18.17(a) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Trustee or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Holder, the termination or conversion of the Notes and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document. 
(q)Tax Redemption.
(x)If at any time as a result of a Change in Tax Law or Change in Listing Status the Company has (or on the next Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date would) become obligated to make any Additional Payments in respect of any payment or delivery to a Holder on account of any of the Notes held by that Holder, the Company has the right, at its election upon giving a Notice of Redemption to the affected Holder(s) pursuant to Section 16.02 of this Indenture, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the affected Notes held by such Holder(s) for a cash price equal to the Redemption Price and 
163

all additional amounts (if any) required to be paid or delivered to that Holder pursuant to Section 18.17(a)(ii) then due and that will become due on such Redemption Date as a result of the Tax Redemption (as defined below) or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is prior to the Redemption Date and additional amount required to be paid or delivered to a holder of any Note pursuant to Section 18.17(a)(ii) in respect thereof) (a “Tax Redemption”). The Company may not elect to redeem Notes pursuant to this Subsection 18.17(b) unless the Company has delivered to the Trustee (x) an Officer’s Certificate attesting that the obligation to pay such additional amounts cannot reasonably be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it (such measures to include, without limitation, to the extent reasonable in the circumstances, using reasonable endeavours to cause the Notes to become listed (within the meaning of section 987, United Kingdom Income Tax Act 2007) and “quoted” (within the meaning of Section 64 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997) on another “recognised stock exchange” (within the meaning of section 1005, United Kingdom Income Tax Act 2007 and Section 64 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997)) and (y) an Opinion of Counsel from independent tax counsel to the effect that there has been such a Change in Tax Law or Change in Listing Status. The Trustee will be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, without further inquiry, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.
(xi)If the Company calls Notes for a Tax Redemption, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18.17(b) or in Section 18.17(a), but subject to the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures in the case of Global Notes, each affected Holder will have the right to elect (a “Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election”) not to have such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof in an authorized denomination) redeemed pursuant to such Tax Redemption, in which case, from and after the Redemption Date for such Tax Redemption (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, from and after such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full), the Company will no longer have any obligation to pay any such additional amounts with respect to such Notes solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law or Change in Listing Status (which shall be binding upon all subsequent transferees of such Notes), and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction’s taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result of such Change in Tax Law or Change in Listing Status.
(xii)To make a Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof in an authorized denomination), the Holder of such Note must deliver a notice (a “Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election Notice”) to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee) before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date, which notice must state: (x) if such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note; (y) the Original Principal Amount of such Note as to which (together with all PIK Interest thereon, whether pursuant to PIK Payments previously, then or thereafter made) the Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election will apply, which must be an authorized denomination; and (z) that such Holder is making a Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election with respect to such Note (or such portion thereof); provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note, then such notice must comply with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures (and any such notice delivered in compliance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 18.17(b)(iii)).
164

(xiii)Holders may surrender Notes subject to a Tax Redemption for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes subject to Tax Redemption may convert such Notes until the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for).  For the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Redemption will not affect the Company’s obligation to make Additional Payments, if any, with respect to such conversion up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
Section 1.14Conversion of Currency. The Issuer covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to conversion of currency in the case of the Notes and this Indenture:
(bv)(i) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due or contingently due in any other currency under the Notes and this Indenture (the “Required Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine).
(xiv)If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given or an order of endorsement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and the date of receipt of the amount due, the Issuer shall pay such additional (or, as the case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount in the Required Currency originally due.
(r)In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer at any time while any amount of damages owing under the Notes and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold the Holders of Notes and the Trustee harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in the Required Currency (other than under this Subsection (b)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this Subsection (b) the final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer shall be the date fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Issuer may be ascertained for such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.
(s)The obligations contained in Subsections (a)(ii) and (b) of this Section 18.18 shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Issuer from its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Issuer, shall apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Issuer for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due hereunder (other than under Subsection (b) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer or its liquidator. In the case of Subsection (b) above, the amount of such deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.
165

(t)The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the rate of exchange at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee or any Holder that seeks to obtain or enforce any such judgment described in clause (a)(i) above, as applicable, could purchase in The City of New York or Wilmington, Delaware, as applicable,  the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the relevant date and includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable.  
Section 1.18Lien Sharing and Priority Confirmation. 
ARTICLE 19

(bw)all Junior Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Junior Liens at any time granted by the Issuer or any other Grantor to the Collateral Agent to secure any Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under this Indenture and the other Note Documents, whether or not upon property otherwise constituting collateral for such Series of Junior Debt, and that all such Junior Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Junior Secured Parties equally and ratably;
(bx)the Holders agree to be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, including without limitation the provisions relating to the ranking of Super Senior Liens relative to the Junior Liens and the order of application of proceeds from enforcement of Super Senior Liens relative to the Junior Liens;

(bz)to the extent any provision of this Indenture conflicts with the Intercreditor Agreement, that the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
    All defined terms used in the forgoing provisions of this Section 18.19 and this paragraph but not otherwise defined herein are as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 18.19 are intended for the enforceable benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, all holders of each existing and future Series of First Lien Debt, each existing and future First Lien Representative, all holders of each existing and future series of Second Lien Debt, each existing and future Second Lien Representative and the Collateral Agent.
ARTICLE 19
OFFER TO REPURCHASE NOTES UPON RECEIPT OF TAX CREDITS 
Section 1.01Tax Credit Event Offer. 
(ca)On the third Business Day after the Issuer’s receipt of Tax Credits for an amount greater than or equal to $1,000,000, the Issuer will be required to use 40.00% of the cash proceeds received from such Tax Credits (the “Tax Credit Proceeds”) to make an offer (“Tax Credit Event Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes to purchase the maximum Original Principal Amount of the Notes that may be purchased out of such Tax Credit Proceeds at an offer price in an amount equal to 100% of the Then Current Principal Amount of the Notes (calculated as of the date of such purchase) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in minimum denominations of $1,000 Original Principal Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to make a Tax Credit Event 
166

Offer to the extent that, following such Tax Credit Event Offer and subsequent payment for and purchase of the Notes (assuming that the maximum Original Principal Amount of Notes that would be subject to such Tax Credit Event Offer were validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection therewith), the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Issuer would be less than $20,000,000. In connection with a Tax Credit Event Offer, the Issuer will deliver written notice of such Tax Credit Event Offer as required under Section 19.01(b). If the aggregate Then Current Principal Amount of the Notes surrendered in any Tax Credit Event Offer by Holders exceeds the maximum amount of Tax Credit Proceeds to be applied in such Tax Credit Event Offer, the Tax Credit Proceeds shall be allocated among the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of tendered Notes; provided, that no Notes will be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. Upon consummation or expiration of any Tax Credit Event Offer, any remaining Tax Credit Proceeds (including any Tax Credit Proceeds not required to be applied in connection with such Tax Credit Even Offer) may be used by the Issuer for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture and thereafter shall not constitute Tax Credit Proceeds. Upon the commencement of any Tax Credit Event Offer, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, by first class mail or electronically, a notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and to each Holder at its registered address. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to such Tax Credit Event Offer. Such Tax Credit Event Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of such Tax Credit Event Offer, shall state:
(i)that such Tax Credit Event Offer is being made pursuant to this Article 19 and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn shall be accepted for payment (unless prorated);
(ii)the maximum amount of Tax Credit Proceeds to be applied in such Tax Credit Event Offer, the Tax Credit Event offer price and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 5 Business Days and not later than 10 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Tax Credit Event Payment Date”);
(iii)that any Notes not validly tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

[This Note shall bear interest at the rate equal to the Applicable Annual Rate per year from the most recent date to which interest had been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, May 27, 2022) to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date until May 15, 2026, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 of the Indenture relating to the payment of interest partially in cash and partially in the form of PIK Interest.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
ROCKLEY PHOTONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED
Convertible Senior Secured Note due 2026
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate Original Principal Amount of $81,500,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 27, 2022 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), 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 Collateral Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued up to an aggregate Original Principal Amount of $81,500,000, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture, the Notes and the other Note Documents when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors will unconditionally guarantee (and future guarantors, jointly and severally with the Guarantors, will fully and unconditionally Guarantee) such obligations on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
The Notes and the Guarantors’ Guarantees of the Notes will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Note Security Documents. The Collateral Agent will hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Holders, itself and the Trustee pursuant to the Note Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Note Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral), as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Note Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.
In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and any interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments due on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Springing Repurchase Date, the Redemption Date and on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company 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.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, 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 or supplements and amendments modifying the terms of the 
ExA-6

Indenture, the Notes and the other Note Documents as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
Each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money or Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 Original Principal Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 Original Principal Amount in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.  The Notes shall be subject to Optional Redemption in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in Article 16 of the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company is required to offer to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in Original 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.  In addition, the Company is required to offer to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in Original Principal Amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Springing Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Springing 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 convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 in Original Principal Amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 Original Principal Amount in excess thereof, into Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
