        set out in Exhibit 1(a) and 1(b).  Certain capitalized and other
        terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule”

              Note Purchase Agreement

            

       

      Section 2.2.          Subsidiary Guaranties.  The payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement may, from time
        to time at the election of the Company, be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by any Subsidiary who delivers a guaranty pursuant to Section 9.7, (each,
        a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) pursuant to the guaranty agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed, a “Subsidiary Guaranty”).

       

      Section 3.      

            Closing.

       

      The execution and delivery of this Agreement will be made at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 W. Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603,
        on April 5, 2013 (the “Execution Date”).

       

      The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 West Monroe Street,
        Chicago, Illinois 60603, at 10:00 a.m. Chicago time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on November 29, 2013.  At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each
        Purchaser the Notes of the series to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note of the Notes so to be purchased or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $1,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of
        payment) as such Purchaser may request dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name or in the name of its nominee, against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount
        of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company to account number 4121091466 at Wells Fargo

        Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights
        such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

       

      Section 4.           Conditions to Closing.

       

      Each Purchaser’s obligation to execute and deliver this Agreement and the obligations of each Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold

      Section 4.1.          Representations and Warranties.  Except with respect to representations contained in Section 5 which

        indicate otherwise, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be correct on the Execution Date and at the time of the Closing.

        prior to or at the Closing and from the date of this Agreement to the Closing assuming that Sections 9 and 10 are applicable from the date of this Agreement.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, before and after giving effect to the
        issue and sale of the Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
        and be continuing.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have entered into any transaction since the date of this Agreement that would have been prohibited by Section 10 had such Section applied since such date nor shall a Change in Control or Control Event have occurred since the date of this Agreement.

       

      Section 4.3.            Compliance Certificates.

       

      (a)          Officer’s Certificate.  The Company shall

      (b)          Secretary’s Certificate.  The Company shall
        have delivered to such Purchaser a certificate of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, dated the date of the Closing, certifying as to the resolutions attached thereto and other corporate proceedings relating to the authorization, execution and
        delivery of the Notes and this Agreement.

       

      Section 4.4.            Opinions of Counsel.  Such Purchaser shall have received opinions in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser, dated the date of the Closing (a)(i) from Debevoise & Plimpton
        LLP, special counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Exhibit 4.4(a)(i) and (ii) from John L. Hammond, Esq., General Counsel for the
        Company, covering the matters set forth in Exhibit 4.4(a)(ii) and in each such case covering such other matters incident to the transactions contemplated
        hereby as such Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request (and the Company hereby instructs its counsel to deliver such opinion to the Purchasers) and (b) from Chapman and Cutler LLP, the Purchasers’ special counsel in connection with such
        transactions, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit 4.4(b) and covering such other matters incident to such transactions as such Purchaser may
        reasonably request.

       

      Section 4.5.           Purchase Permitted by Applicable Law, Etc.  On the date of the Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which
        such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) not
        violate any applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any
        applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date hereof.  If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to such matters of fact as such Purchaser may
        reasonably specify to enable such Purchaser to determine whether such purchase is so permitted.

        set forth in this Section 4.6 may be deemed satisfied notwithstanding the failure of any Purchaser to purchase the Notes to be purchased by it as specified
        in Schedule A solely as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Purchaser or order of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
        such Purchaser.

      Section 4.11.        Proceedings and Documents.  All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all documents and instruments incident to such
        transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser and its special counsel, and such Purchaser and its special counsel shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as such Purchaser

      Section 5.1.          Organization; Power and Authority.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly
        qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or
        in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts

      Section 5.2.            Authorization, Etc.  This Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon
        execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
        insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
        law).

       

      Section 5.3.         Disclosure.  This Agreement and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated
        hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
        circumstances under which they were made.  Since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the
        aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure
        Documents.

       

      Section 5.4.            Organization of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.  (a) Schedule 5.4 contains as of the Execution Date
        (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of (i) the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) the Company’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries.

       

      (b)        All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 that are owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and
        clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

       

      (c)         Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is
        a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each
        jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
        Adverse Effect.  Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

      (d)         No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this
        Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such
        Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

       

      Section 5.5.           Financial Statements; Material Liabilities.  The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5.  All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
        financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such financial statements and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared
        in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year‐end adjustments).  The Company and its Subsidiaries do
        not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

       

      Section 5.6.           Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or
        constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by‐laws, or
        any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms,
        conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any
        Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      Section 5.7.            Governmental Authorizations, Etc.  Except for the filing of a Current Report on SEC Form 8‐K with the SEC with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
        delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes.

       

      Section 5.8.           Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.  (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against
        or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
        expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                Note Purchase Agreement

              

      

       

      (b)          Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
        bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without
        limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or
        violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

       

      Section 5.9.          Taxes.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such
        returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and
        assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company
        or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.  The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The charges,
        accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.  The Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally
        determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

       

      Section 5.10.          Title to Property; Leases.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including
        all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company or any
        Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement.  All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and
        subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

       

      Section 5.11.         Licenses, Permits, Etc.  (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks,
        trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

       

      (b)          To the best knowledge of the Company, no product of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any Material respect any
        license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

       

      (c)          To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of its
        Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

      Section 5.12.         Compliance with ERISA.  (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of
        noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise
        tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by
        the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or
        to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

       

      (b)         The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA (other than Multiemployer
        Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value
        of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $5,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans.  The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in
        section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.  

       

      (c)          The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal
        liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material.

       

      (d)         The expected post retirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year in
        accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715-60, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is
        not Material. 

       

      (e)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is
        subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)‐(D) of the Code.  The representation by the Company in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser.

       

      Section 5.13.           Private Offering by the Company.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of
        the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has
        taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any applicable
        jurisdiction.

      Section 5.14.          Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.  The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to repay existing Debt and for general corporate purposes and in compliance with all laws referenced in Section 5.16.  No part
        of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR
        221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation
        T of said Board (12 CFR 220).  Margin stock does not constitute more than 2% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than
        2% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

       

      Section 5.15.          Existing Debt; Future Liens.  (a) Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all
        outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there
        has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is
        currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the
        lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.  Annex A to be attached hereto on the date of the Closing will correctly describe all outstanding Debt and any Liens securing such Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, since which date there
        shall have been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the date of the Closing.  Since the Execution Date, there shall have been no
        Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries listed on Annex A.

       

      (b)         Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, as of the Execution Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to
        cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.4.

       

      (c)          Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing
        Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the
        incurring of, Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as of the Execution Date as specifically indicated in Schedule 5.15.

      (i)           constitutes or will constitute funds obtained on behalf of any Blocked Person or will otherwise be used by the
        Company or any Controlled Entity, directly or indirectly, (A) in connection with any investment in, or any transactions or dealings with, any Blocked Person, (B) for any purpose that would cause any Purchaser to be in violation of any U.S. Economic
        Sanctions Laws or (C) otherwise in violation of any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws;

       

      (ii)            will be used, directly or indirectly, in violation of, or cause any Purchaser to be in violation of, any
        applicable Anti‐Money Laundering Laws; or

       

      (iii)          will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making any improper payments, including bribes, to any
        Governmental Official or commercial counterparty in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in each case which would be in violation of, or cause any Purchaser to be in violation of, any applicable
        Anti‐Corruption Laws.

       

      (d)          The Company has established procedures and controls which it reasonably believes are adequate (and otherwise comply with applicable
        law) to ensure that the Company and each Controlled Entity is and will continue to be in compliance with all applicable U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, Anti‐Money Laundering Laws and Anti‐Corruption Laws.

       

      Section 5.17.        Status under Certain Statutes.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as
        amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended.

       

      Section 5.18.          Environmental Matters.  (a) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has received any notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any
        claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws,
        except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

        of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, except, in each case, such as could
        not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (c)          Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated
        by any of them or has disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

      Section 6.1.            Purchase for Investment.  Each Purchaser severally represents that it is purchasing the Notes for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by such Purchaser or for
        the account of one or more pension or trust funds and not with a view to the distribution thereof; provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s or their
        property shall at all times be within such Purchaser’s or their control.  Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities
        Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes.

       

      Section 6.2.           Source of Funds.  Each Purchaser severally represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

       

      (a)          the Source is an “insurance company general account” (as the term is defined in the United States Department of
        Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95‐60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life
        insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s) held
        by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof
        as defined in PTE 95‐60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth
        in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile; or

       

      (b)           the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual
        obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not
        affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

        employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; or

       

      (d)          the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of Part VI of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s
        assets that are managed by the QPAM in such investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM
        Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by such QPAM, represent more than 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the
        QPAM nor a Person controlling or controlled by the QPAM maintains an ownership interest in the Company that would cause the QPAM and the Company to be “related” within the meaning of Part VI(h) of the QPAM Exemption and (i) the identity of such
        QPAM and (ii) the names of any employee benefit plans whose assets in the investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of

      (e)          the Source constitutes assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of Part IV(h) of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV(a) of the INHAM Exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g)
        and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a Person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Part IV(d)(3) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest in the Company and (i)
        the identity of such INHAM and (ii) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (e); or

       

      (f)             the Source is a governmental plan; or

       

      (g)            the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more
        employee benefit plans, each of which has been identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (g); or

      As used in this Section 6.2, the terms “employee benefit
        plan”, “governmental plan”, and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in section 3 of ERISA.

        The Company will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or Control Event, give written notice of such Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless
        notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section

          8.3.  If a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (c) of this Section

          8.3 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (g) of this Section 8.3.

       

      (b)         Condition to Company Action.  The Company

        in subparagraph (c) of this Section 8.3, accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (g) of this Section 8.3, and (ii) contemporaneously with such action, it prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 8.3.

       

      (c)          Offer to Prepay Notes.  The offer to prepay
        Notes contemplated by subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.3 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.3, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”).  If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.3, such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be
        the first Business Day after the 45th day after the date of such offer).

       

      (d)        Acceptance/Rejection.  A holder of Notes may
        accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 15 days
        after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment.  A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section
          8.3 shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such offer by such holder.

       

      (e)          Prepayment.  Prepayment of the Notes to be
        prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of
        prepayment, plus the Make‐Whole Amount and the Swap Breakage Amount, each determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.

       

      (f)         Deferral Pending Change in Control.  The
        obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by subparagraph (c) and accepted in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this Section 8.3
        is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made.  In the event that such Change in Control has not occurred on the Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the
        prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on, the date on which such Change in Control occurs.  The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date
        on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant
        to this Section 8.3 in respect of such Change in Control shall be deemed rescinded).

      (g)          Officer’s Certificate.  Each offer to prepay
        the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such
        offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.3; (iii) the principal amount of each Note
        offered to be prepaid; (iv) the estimated Make‐Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation; (v) the interest
        that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (vi) that the conditions of this Section 8.3 have been fulfilled; and (vii) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

       

      (h)          Certain Definitions.  “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act as in effect on
        the date of the Closing) or related persons constituting a group (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐5 under the Exchange Act),

       

      (i)          become the “beneficial owners” (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐3 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date
        of the Closing), directly or indirectly, of more than 5035% of the total voting power of all classes then outstanding of the Company’s Voting Stock, or

       

      (ii)           acquire after the date of the Closing (x) the power to elect, appoint or cause the election or appointment of at
        least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company, through beneficial ownership of the capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or (y) all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in a manner which
        does not require compliance with Section 10.5(c).

       

      “Control Event” means:

       

      (1)            the execution by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any agreement or letter of intent with
        respect to any proposed transaction or event or series of transactions or events which, individually or in the aggregate, may reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control,

       

      (2)            the execution of any written agreement which, when fully performed by the parties thereto, would result in a
        Change in Control, or

       

      (3)            the making of any written offer by any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the
        Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) or related persons constituting a group (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) to the holders of the common stock of the Company,
        which offer, if accepted by the requisite number of holders, would result in a Change in Control.

      (i)          All calculations contemplated in this Section 8.3
        involving the capital stock of any Person shall be made with the assumption that all convertible Securities of such Person then outstanding and all convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of any warrants, options and other rights
        outstanding at such time were converted at such time and that all options, warrants and similar rights to acquire shares of capital stock of such Person were exercised at such time.

       

      Section 8.4.            Allocation of Partial Prepayments.  In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section

          8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be (a) allocated among each series of Notes in proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each such series of Notes and (b) allocated pro rata among all holders of each
        series of Notes at the time outstanding in accordance with the unpaid principal amount thereof.  All partial prepayments made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be
        applied only to the Notes of the holders who have elected to participate in such prepayment.

       

      Section 8.5.           Maturity; Surrender, Etc.  In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8,
        the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date, and with the
        Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and the Swap Breakage Amount, if any.

       

      From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and
        Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue.  Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall
        be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

       

      Section 8.6.           Purchase of Notes.  The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except
        (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding
        upon the same terms and conditions.  Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days.  If the holders of
        more than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be
        extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any
        payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

       

      Section 8.7.            Make-Whole Amount.

       

      (a)          Make-Whole Amount with respect to Non‐Swapped Notes. 

        The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining
        Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Non-Swapped Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided, however, that the
        Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero.

      For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

       

      “Called Principal” means the principal of such Non-Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

       

      “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their
        respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Non-Swapped
        Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

       

      “Non-Swapped Note” means any Note other than a Swapped Note.

       

      “Recognized German Bund Market Makers” means two
        internationally recognized dealers of German Bunds reasonably selected by holders of at least 51% of the Non‐Swapped Notes denominated in Euros.

       

      “Reinvestment Yield” means, 

       

      (a)           with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note denominated in Dollars, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date
        with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”))

        or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to
        the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury
        Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
        (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield will be determined,
        if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond‐equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest
        to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as
        appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non‐Swapped Note

      (b)           with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note denominated in Euros, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask‐side yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement
        Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the benchmark German Bund having a maturity
        equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported are not ascertainable, the average of the ask-side yields as determined by
        Recognized German Bund Market Makers.  Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond‐equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the
        benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called
        Principal.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non-Swapped Note.  

       

      “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the
        products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one‐twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement
        Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

       

      “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with
        respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is
        not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Non-Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and
        required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section

          8.3 or Section 12.1.

       

      “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called
        Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1,
        as the context requires.

       

      (b)          Make-Whole Amount with respect to Swapped Notes. 

        The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped
        Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Swapped Note Discounted Value with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount related to such Swapped Note over such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount; provided, however, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. All payments of Make-Whole Amount in respect of any Swapped Note shall be made in Dollars.

      For the purposes of determining the Make‐Whole Amount with respect to any Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

       

      “New Swap Agreement” means any cross-currency swap
        agreement pursuant to which the holder of a Swapped Note is to receive payment in Dollars and which is entered into in full or partial replacement of an Original Swap Agreement as a result of such Original Swap Agreement having terminated for any
        reason other than a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity.  The terms of a New Swap Agreement with respect to any Swapped Note do not have to be identical to those of the Original Swap
        Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note.

       

      “Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (x) a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the original purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any
        affiliate thereof) in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the Company of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the holder of such Swapped
        Note is to receive payments from the counterparty thereunder in Dollars and which is more particularly described on Schedule 8.7 hereto, (y) any Initial Swap
        Agreement that has been assumed (without any waiver, amendment, deletion or replacement of any material economic term or provision thereof) by a holder of a Swapped Note in connection with a transfer of such Swapped Note and (z) any Replacement
        Swap Agreement; and a “Replacement Swap Agreement” means, with
        respect to any Swapped Note, a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto with payment terms and provisions (other than a reduction in notional amount, if applicable) identical to those of the Initial Swap Agreement with
        respect to such Swapped Note that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the holder of such Swapped Note in full or partial replacement (by amendment, modification or otherwise) of such Initial Swap Agreement (or any subsequent Replacement
        Swap Agreement) in a notional amount not exceeding the outstanding principal amount of such Swapped Note following a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment
        of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the
        Company a notice of the principal economic terms of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

       

      “Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note,
        an Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

       

      “Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the date of the
        Closing is subject to a Swap Agreement covering the full principal amount of the Note.  A “Swapped Note” shall no longer be deemed a “Swapped Note” at such time as the related Swap Agreement ceases to be in force in respect thereof, unless (and until) a Replacement Swap Agreement or New Swap Agreement is entered into.

      “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the payment in Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the
        Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date, provided that if such Swap Agreement is not an Initial Swap Agreement, then the “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” in respect of such Swapped Note shall not exceed the amount in
        Dollars which would have been due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Initial Swap Agreement to which such holder was a party (or if such holder was never party to an Initial Swap Agreement, then the last Initial Swap
        Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of such Swapped Note was a party), attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is
        paid on its scheduled maturity date.

       

      “Swapped Note Called Principal” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

       

      “Swapped Note Discounted Value” means, with respect to
        the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the
        context requires, the amount obtained by discounting all Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments corresponding to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of such Swapped Note from their respective scheduled due dates to the Swapped Note
        Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Swapped Note is payable) equal
        to the Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount.

       

      “Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the
        yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as
        may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”)) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access
        Service screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of
        such Swapped Note Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported for
        the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in U.S. Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or
        any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date.  
        Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond‐equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S.
        Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life.  The
        Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

      “Swapped Note Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (x) such
        Swapped Note Called Notional Amount into (y) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount by (2) the
        number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the scheduled due date of such Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap
        Payments.

       

      “Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments” means,
        with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount relating to any Swapped Note, the payments due to the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party which correspond to all
        payments of the Swapped Note Called Principal of such Swapped Note corresponding to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and interest on such Swapped Note Called Principal (other than that portion of the payment due under such Swap Agreement
        corresponding to the interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal to the Swapped Note Settlement Date) that would be due after the Swapped Note Settlement Date in respect of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount assuming that no payment
        of such Swapped Note Called Principal is made prior to its originally scheduled payment date, provided that if such Swapped Note Settlement Date is not a
        date on which an interest payment is due to be made under the terms of such Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Swapped Note Settlement Date and
        required to be paid on such Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 12.1.

       

      “Swapped Note Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the date on which such Swapped Note Called Principal is to
        be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or
        is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

       

      Section 8.8.          Swap Breakage.  If any Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable
        pursuant to Section 12.1, then (a) any resulting Net Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company in
        Dollars upon any such prepayment or repayment of such Swapped Note and (b) any resulting Net Gain in connection therewith shall be deducted (i) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, or any principal or interest to be paid to the holder of such
        Swapped Note by the Company upon any such prepayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or (ii) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note by
        the Company upon any such repayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 12.1, provided that, in either case, the Make-Whole Amount, in respect of such Swapped Note may in no event be less than zero. Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating its own Net Loss or Net Gain, as the case
        may be, and Swap Breakage Amount in Dollars upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of such Swapped Note, and such calculations as reported to the Company in reasonable detail shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable
        error.

      As used in this Section 8.8 with respect to any Swapped
        Note that is prepaid or accelerated: “Net Loss” means the amount, if
        any, by which the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by the holder of such Swapped Note; and “Net Gain” means the amount, if any, by which the Swapped Note Called
        Notional Amount is exceeded by the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by such holder. For purposes of any determination of any “Net Loss” or “Net Gain,” the Swapped Note
        Called Principal shall be determined by the holder of the affected Swapped Note by converting Euros into Dollars at the current Euros/Dollar exchange rate, as determined as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day such Swapped Note is prepaid
        or accelerated as indicated on the applicable screen of Bloomberg Financial Markets and any such calculation shall be reported to the Company in reasonable detail and shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

       

      As used in this Section 8.8, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any
        Swapped Note, in determining the Net Loss or Net Gain, the amount that would be received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be positive) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be negative) by the holder of such Swapped
        Note as if such Swap Agreement had terminated due to the occurrence of an event of default with the holder of such Swapped Note as the defaulting party or an early termination with the holder of such Swapped Note as the sole affected party under
        the ISDA 1992 Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”); provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor in interest
        with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (x) the gain or loss (if any) which would have been received or incurred (by payment, through off-set or netting or otherwise) by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap
        Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent
        predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and which would have arisen as a result of the payment of the Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date and (y) the gain or loss (if any)
        actually received or incurred by the holder of such Swapped Note, in connection with the payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date, under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any
        affiliate thereof) is a party.  The holder of such Swapped Note will make all calculations related to the Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in accordance with its customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA Master Agreement
        pursuant to which such Swap Agreement shall have been entered into and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no other transactions entered into pursuant to such ISDA Master Agreement (other than such Swap Agreement).

      The Swap Breakage Amount shall be payable in Dollars.

       

      Section 9.             Affirmative Covenants.

       

      The Company covenants that from the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

       

      Section 9.1.          Compliance with Laws.  Without limiting Section 10.9, the Company will, and will cause each of
        its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are
        referred to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations
        necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or
        failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

       

      Section 9.2.          Insurance.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties
        and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co‐insurance and self‐insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the
        case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

       

      Section 9.3.          Maintenance of Properties.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good
        repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any
        of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      Section 9.4.          Payment of Taxes and Claims.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all
        taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due
        and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment or claims if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary
        on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such
        taxes, assessments and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      Section 9.5.           Legal Existence, Etc.  Subject to Section 10.5, the Company will at all times preserve and keep
        in full force and effect its legal existence.  Subject to Sections 10.5 and 10.6,
        the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly‐owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries
        unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      Section 9.6.           Books and Records.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of
        any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company, or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

       

      Section 9.7.           Guaranty by Subsidiaries.  (a) The Company may, at its election, at any time or from time to time, cause any Subsidiary which is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary
        Guarantor by satisfying the following conditions:

       

      (i)          deliver to each of the holders of the Notes of an executed counterpart of a Subsidiary Guaranty, or joinder

      (ii)          deliver to each of the holders of the Notes of a certificate signed by the president, a vice president or another
        authorized officer of such Subsidiary (A) making representations and warranties to the effect of those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6 and 5.7, but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty, as applicable and (B) certifying that at such time (and after giving effect to such
        Subsidiary Guaranty) (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) such Subsidiary (x) will not be insolvent, (y) will not be engaged in any business or transaction, or about to engage in any business or
        transaction, for which it has unreasonably small capital and (z) does not intend to, and will not, hinder, delay or defraud any Person to which it is, or will become, indebted, in each of the foregoing such cases after taking into account the
        reasonable likelihood of having to perform under such Subsidiary Guaranty;

       

      (iii)          deliver to each of the holders of the Notes such documents and evidence with respect to such Subsidiary as the
        Required Holders may reasonably request in order to establish the existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the authorization of the transactions contemplated by such Subsidiary Guaranty;

       

      (iv)          deliver to each holder of a Note an opinion or opinions of counsel to the combined effect that the Subsidiary
        Guaranty of such Subsidiary has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to customary
        and reasonable exceptions and assumptions under the circumstances;

      (v)          payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of the holders of the Notes, including, without limitation, the
        reasonable fees of not more than one special counsel representing all of the holders of the Notes, incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty and the related opinion described above; and

       

      (vi)          deliver to each holder of a Note of evidence of the appointment of the Company as such Subsidiary’s agent to

      (b)          The Company may further, from time to time at its discretion and upon written notice from the Company to the holders of the Notes
        referring to this Section 9.7(b) (which notice shall contain a certification (including setting forth the information (including reasonably detailed
        computations) reasonably required to confirm the conclusions contained therein) by a Responsible Officer as to (i) the matters specified in clauses (c) and (d) below and (ii) that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be
        continuing or shall result therefrom) (the “Termination Notice”), terminate the Subsidiary Guaranty issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor with effect from the
        date of such notice, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or shall result therefrom.

       

      (c)            The Company agrees that so long as any Subsidiary is a guarantor or a borrower under or with respect to the Bank Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 2011 Notes, or any of the 2015Existing Notes, such Subsidiary shall at all such times be a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

       

      (d)          The Company agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
        any consideration or remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any creditor of the Company or of any Subsidiary Guarantor as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any such
        creditor of any release or discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an obligor or guarantor under or in respect of Debt of the Company, unless such consideration or remuneration is
        concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to the holders of all of the Notes then outstanding.

       

      Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Company fails to comply with any provision of this Section 9 on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing
        that is specified in Section 3.

            Notes, the 2011 Notes, or the 2015Existing Notes (an “Existing Credit Facility”), or (ii) after the date of this Agreement enters into any amendment or other modification of any Existing Credit Facility (an “Amended Credit Facility”) or (iii) enters into any new credit facility, whether with commercial banks or other Institutional Investors pursuant to a credit agreement, note purchase
        agreement or other like agreement (in any such case, a “New Credit Facility”) after the date of this Agreement under which the Company or any Subsidiary
        Guarantor may incur Debt in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000,000 (or the equivalent in the relevant currency), that in any such case as on the date of this Agreement, or after the date of this Agreement, results in one or more additional
        or more restrictive covenants or events of default than those contained in this Agreement being contained in any such Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as the case may be (such additional or more restrictive
        covenant or event of default, as the case may be, together with all definitions relating thereto, in the case of an Existing Credit Facility, including as amended by an Amended Credit Facility, the “Existing Facility Additional Provision(s)” and in the case of a New Credit Facility, the “New Facility Additional Provision(s)” and such covenants and events of default shall be an Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s) only
        to the extent not already included herein, or if already included herein, only to the extent more restrictive than the analogous covenants or events of default included herein), then the terms of this Agreement, without any further action on the
        part of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the holders of the Notes, will unconditionally be deemed on the effective date of such Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as the case may be, or the date hereof in the case of an
        Existing Credit Facility to be automatically amended to include the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or such New Facility Additional Provision(s), as the case may be, and any event of default in respect of any such additional or more
        restrictive covenant(s) so included herein shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 11(c) (after giving effect to any grace or cure provisions
        under such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or such New Facility Additional Provision(s) or event of default), subject to all applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies
        exercisable by the holders of the Notes hereunder.

       

      (b)          If after the date of execution of any Amended Credit Facility or a New Credit Facility, as the case may be, or in the case of an
        Existing Credit Facility, if after the date hereof, any one or more of the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or the New Facility Additional Provision(s) is excluded, terminated, loosened, tightened, amended or otherwise modified under the
        corresponding Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as applicable, then and in such event any such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s) theretofore included in this
        Agreement pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.8(a) shall then and thereupon automatically and without any further action by any Person be so excluded,
        terminated, loosened, tightened or otherwise amended or modified under this Section 9.8(b) to the same extent as the exclusion, termination, loosening,
        tightening of other amendment or modification thereof under the Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility; provided that if a
        Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by reason of the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or the New Facility Additional Provision(s) at the time any such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility
        Additional Provision(s) is or are to be so excluded, terminated, loosened, tightened, amended or modified under this Section 9.8(b), the prior written consent
        thereto of the Required Holders shall be required as a condition to the exclusion, termination, loosening, tightening or other amendment or modification of any such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s),
        as the case may be; and provided, further, that in any and all events, the covenant(s) or event(s) of default (and related definitions) constituting any
        covenant and Events of Default contained in this Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement (and as amended otherwise than by operation of Section 9.8(a))
        shall not in any event be deemed or construed to be excluded, loosened or relaxed by operation of the terms of this Section 9.8(b), and only any such Existing
        Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s) shall be so excluded, terminated, loosened, tightened, amended or otherwise modified pursuant to the terms hereof.

        and documented fees and expenses of one counsel for the holders of the Notes, taken as a whole) an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders evidencing that, pursuant to this Section 9.8, this Agreement then and thereafter includes, excludes, amends or otherwise modifies any Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility
        Additional Provision(s), as the case may be; provided that the execution and delivery of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of
        such amendment.

       

      (d)          The Company agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
        any consideration or remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any creditor of the Company, any co‐obligor or any Subsidiary Guarantor as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by
        any such creditor of any amendment, waiver or other modification to any Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as the case may be, the effect of which amendment, waiver or other modification is to exclude,
        terminate, loosen, tighten or otherwise amend or modify any Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s), unless such consideration or remuneration is concurrently paid, on the same terms, ratably to the holders
        of all of the Notes then outstanding.

      Section 10.2.          Limitations on Debt.  

       

               (a)        The Company will
        not permit the ratio of Total Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDALeverage Ratio, determined as at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (the
            “Leverage Ratio”), to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00, provided that if a Material Acquisition is consummated within
        such fiscal quarter (any such fiscal quarter designated as such by the Company in writing to the holders of Notes being a “Trigger Quarter”), then the Leverage Ratio may be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 but shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 for such
        Trigger Quarter and the next succeeding three fiscal quarters (each such four quarter period, a “Leverage Holiday”); provided further that:

      Section 12.           Remedies on Default, Etc.

       

      Section 12.1.          Acceleration.  (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g)
        or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section
          11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

       

      (b)           If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 51% in principal amount of the Notes
        at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

       

      (c)          If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or

        (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their
        option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

       

      Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1,
        whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default
        Rate) and (ii) the sum of the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and the Swap Breakage Amount, if any, each determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each
        and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived.  The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free
        from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are
        accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

      Section 12.2.          Other Remedies.  If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable
        under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in
        equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power
        granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

       

      Section 12.3.          Rescission.  At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b)
        or (c), the holders of not less than 60% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any
        such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other
        than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the
        Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non‐payment of amounts that have become due solely
        by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of
        any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.  No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default
        or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

       

      Section 12.4.          No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.  No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a
        waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein
        or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.  Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the
        Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

        holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note
        shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.  The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an
        Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

        by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days

        to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note.  Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1(a) or 1(b), respectively.  Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall
        have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.  The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of
        any such transfer of Notes.  Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment); provided
        that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $1,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment).  Any transferee, by its
        acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

      (a)          in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000 or a Qualified
        Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

       

      (b)          in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

       

      within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, dated and bearing
        interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

      Section 14.2.          Home Office Payment.  So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make‐Whole Amount, if any, Swap Breakage Amount, if any, and interest by the method
        and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser
        shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or
        reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment
        most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1.  The Company will make such payments in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m.
        New York, New York time on the date due.  If for any reason whatsoever the Company does not make any such payment by such 1:00 p.m. transmittal time, such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day and such payment

        and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. 
        The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a
        Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

        in respect of this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation:  (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining
        whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, any
        Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in
        connection with any work‐out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes.  The Company will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or
        expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes).

        behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note.  All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or a Subsidiary Guaranty shall be
        deemed representations and warranties of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or such Subsidiary Guaranty.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the Swap Indemnity Letter embody the entire
        agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

       

      Section 17.          Amendment and Waiver.

       

      Section 17.1.        Requirements.  This Agreement, each Subsidiary Guaranty and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or
        prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section

          1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such
        Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or
        of the Make‐Whole Amount on the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or the principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are to
        purchase pursuant to Section 2 upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing that appear in Section 4, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17, 20, 22.9 or 22.10.

      Section 17.2.          Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

       

      (a)           Solicitation.  The Company will provide
        each Purchaser and each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount or series of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Purchaser or holder to make an
        informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of a Subsidiary Guaranty or of the Notes.  The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each
        amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each Purchaser and each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following
        the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

       

      (b)          Payment.  The Company will not directly or
        indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of Notes as consideration for or as an
        inducement to the entering into by any Purchaser or holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note or of a Subsidiary Guaranty unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
        concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser and each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

       

      (c)          Consent in Contemplation of Transfer.  Any
        consent made pursuant to this Section 17 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to the Company, any Subsidiary or
        any Affiliate of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or
        to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or
        effect except solely as to such transferring holder.

       

      Section 17.3.         Binding Effect, Etc.  Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17
        applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such
        amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between the Company and any Purchaser or the
        holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, under a Subsidiary Guaranty or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Purchaser or any holder of such Note.  As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and
        references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

       

      Section 17.4.        Notes Held by Company, Etc.  Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or
        consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes or in any Subsidiary Guaranty to be taken upon the
        direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

      Section 18.           Notices.

       

      All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a
        confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges
        prepaid).  Any such notice must be sent:

       

      (i)          if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in
        Schedule A or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,

       

      (ii)          if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the
        Company in writing, or

       

      (iii)         if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Treasurer,
        or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

       

      Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually
        received.

       

      Section 19.           Reproduction of Documents.

       

      This Agreement, each Subsidiary Guaranty and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications
        that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be
        reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced.  The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by
        applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser
        in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.  This Section

          19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such
        reproduction.

      Section 20.           Confidential Information.

       

      For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
        contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified in writing when received by such Purchaser as being
        confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise
        known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other
        than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are
        otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to
        such Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
        attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the
        Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to
        which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information
        to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or
        the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agencyRating Agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or
        disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such
        Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the
        rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement.  Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement.  On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be
        delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. 

       

      In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
        contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is
        different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

      Section 21.          Substitution of Purchaser.

       

      Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder,
        by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with
        respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.  Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in
        this Section 21) shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser.  In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a
        Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this
        Agreement (other than in this Section 21) shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original
        Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

       

      Section 22.          Miscellaneous.

       

      Section 22.1.         Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
        successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

       

      Section 22.2.         Payments Due on Non‐Business Days.  Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make‐Whole Amount, Swap Breakage Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including
        the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note
        is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding
        Business Day.

       

      Section 22.3.          Accounting Terms.  (a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.  Except as
        otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided that in the event of any Accounting Practices Change, then the Company’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3 shall be determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in effect
        immediately before giving effect to the Accounting Practices Change, until such covenants are amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 22.3 hereof.  For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Debt using an amount other
        than par (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825‐10‐25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar
        accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

      (b)          The Company shall notify the holders of the Notes of any Accounting Practices Change promptly upon becoming aware of the same. 
        Promptly following such notice, the Company and the holders of the Notes shall negotiate in good faith in order to effect any adjustments to Sections 10.2(a)
        and 10.3 necessary to reflect the effects of such Accounting Practices Change.

       

      Section 22.4.        Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
        unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
        jurisdiction.

       

      Section 22.5.       Construction, Etc.  Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that
        compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is
        prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

       

      For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

       

      Section 22.6.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  Each
        counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

       

      Section 22.7.         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New
        York, excluding choice‐of‐law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

       

      Section 22.8.         Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a)  The Company irrevocably
        submits to the non‐exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes.  To the
        fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now
        or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

      (b)          The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
        referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return
        receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said
        Section.  The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken
        and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery
        service.

       

      (c)           Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect
        the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce
        in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

       

      (d)           The parties hereto hereby waive trial by
          jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

       

      Section 22.9.         Obligation to Make Payment in Applicable Currency.  (a) Any payment on account of an amount that is payable
        hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars which is made to or for the account of any holder of Notes in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation
        of the Company, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of the Company under this Agreement or the Notes only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with
        the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above.  If the amount of Dollars that could be so
        purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such holder, the Company agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of
        such deficiency.  This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent
        cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or
        under the Notes or under any judgment or order.  As used herein the term “London Banking Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are required or authorized by law to be closed in London, England.

The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1.  Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined
        in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit
        attached to this Agreement.

    

  

   

  (b)         The Notes shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360‐day year of twelve 30‐day months) on the unpaid
    principal amount thereof from the date of issuance, payable semiannually, on May 6 and November 6 in each year and on the maturity date of the Notes.

  Section 2.2.        Subsidiary

        Guaranties.  The payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement may, from time to time at the election of the Company, be absolutely and
      unconditionally guaranteed by any Subsidiary who delivers a guaranty pursuant to Section 9.7, (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) pursuant to the guaranty agreement
      substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed, a “Subsidiary Guaranty”).

   

  Section 3.        Closing.

  

  

  The execution and delivery of this Agreement will be made at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 W. Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, on November 6, 2015.

   

  The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Chapman and Cutler LLP, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois

    single Note of the Notes so to be purchased or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least €1,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment) as such Purchaser may request dated the date of the Closing and registered in
    such Purchaser’s name or in the name of its nominee, against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the

    Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been
    fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

   

  Section 4.        Conditions to Closing.

  

  

  Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction,

        No Default.  The Company shall have performed and complied with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing.  Before and after giving effect to the
      issue and sale of the Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Neither the Company nor any
      Subsidiary shall have entered into any transaction since October 6, 2015 that would have been prohibited by Section 10 had such Section applied since such date nor shall a Change in Control or Control Event
      have occurred.

      limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in

        Other Notes.  Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall sell to each other Purchaser, and each other Purchaser shall purchase, the Notes to be purchased by it at the Closing as specified in Schedule

        A; provided, that the condition set forth in this Section 4.6 may be deemed satisfied notwithstanding the failure of any Purchaser to purchase the Notes to
      be purchased by it as specified in Schedule A solely as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Purchaser or order of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Purchaser.

      binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
      enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

      thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or

    in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

  Section 8.           Prepayment of the Notes.

   

  Section 8.1.          Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.

   

  Section 8.2.         Optional Prepayments.  The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than
    $1,000,000 or such lesser amount as shall be outstanding, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, and the Make‐Whole Amount and the Swap Breakage Amount, each determined for the

      8.2(a) not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment.  Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such
    date, the principal amount of each such Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the
    prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make‐Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such

    respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.3. 

    If a Change in Control has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (c) of this Section 8.3 and
    shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (g) of this Section 8.3.

   

  (b)         Condition to Company Action.  The Company will
    not take any action that consummates or finalizes a Change in Control unless (i) at least 30 days prior to such action it shall have given to each holder of Notes written notice containing and constituting an offer to prepay Notes as described in

  (c)        Offer to Prepay Notes.  The offer to prepay Notes
    contemplated by subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.3 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.3, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder”
    in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed

      Prepayment Date”).  If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.3, such date shall
    be not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th day after the date of
    such offer).

   

  (d)         Acceptance/Rejection.  A holder of Notes may
    accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 15 days after
    receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment.  A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3
    shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such offer by such holder.

   

  (e)        Prepayment.  Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid
    pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, plus the Make‐Whole Amount and the Swap Breakage Amount, each determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.

   

  (f)          Deferral Pending Change in Control.  The
    obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by subparagraph (c) and accepted in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this Section 8.3
    is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made.  In the event that such Change in Control has not occurred on the Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment
    shall be deferred until, and shall be made on, the date on which such Change in Control occurs.  The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date on which such
    Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.3 in respect of such Change in Control shall be deemed rescinded).

   

  (g)         Officer’s Certificate.  Each offer to prepay the
    Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer,
    specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.3; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be
    prepaid; (iv) the estimated Make‐Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation; (v) the interest that would be due
    on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (vi) that the conditions of this Section 8.3 have been fulfilled; and (vii) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change in Control.

    Closing) or related persons constituting a group (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐5 under the Exchange Act),

   

  (i)          become the “beneficial owners” (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐3 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of
    the Closing), directly or indirectly, of more than 5035% of the total voting power of all classes then outstanding of the Company’s Voting Stock, or

   

  (ii)         acquire after the date of the Closing (x) the power to elect, appoint or cause the election or appointment of at least a
    majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company, through beneficial ownership of the capital stock of the Company or otherwise, or (y) all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in a manner which does not
    require compliance with Section 10.5(c).

   

  “Control Event” means:

   

  (1)         the execution by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any agreement or letter of intent with respect

  (2)          the execution of any written agreement which, when fully performed by the parties thereto, would result in a Change in
    Control, or

    

  

  (3)         the making of any written offer by any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange
    Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) or related persons constituting a group (as such term is used in Rule 13d‐5 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of the Closing) to the holders of the common stock of the Company, which offer, if
    accepted by the requisite number of holders, would result in a Change in Control.

   

  (i)          All calculations contemplated in this Section 8.3
    involving the capital stock of any Person shall be made with the assumption that all convertible Securities of such Person then outstanding and all convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of any warrants, options and other rights outstanding
    at such time were converted at such time and that all options, warrants and similar rights to acquire shares of capital stock of such Person were exercised at such time.

   

  Section 8.4.          Allocation of Partial Prepayments.  In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section
      8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for
    prepayment.  All partial prepayments made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders who have elected to participate in such
    prepayment.

  Section 8.5.         Maturity; Surrender, Etc.  In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the
    principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date, and with the Make‐Whole
    Amount, if any, and the Swap Breakage Amount, if any.

   

  From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make‐Whole
    Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue.  Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in
    lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

   

  Section 8.6.         Purchase of Notes.  The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a)
    upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the
    same terms and conditions.  Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days.  If the holders of more than 25%
    of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number
    of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or
    purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

   

  Section 8.7.          Make-Whole Amount.

   

  (a)          Make-Whole Amount with respect to Non‐Swapped Notes. 

    The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining
    Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Non-Swapped Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided, however, that the
    Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. 

   

  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any Non-Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

   

  “Called Principal” means the principal of such Non-Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

   

  “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective
    scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Non-Swapped Notes is payable)
    equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

  “Non-Swapped Note” means any Note other than a Swapped Note.

   

  “Recognized German Bund Market Makers” means two
    internationally recognized dealers of German Bunds reasonably selected by holders of at least 51% of the Non‐Swapped Notes denominated in Euros.

   

  “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called
    Principal of any Non‐Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask‐side yields reported, as of
    10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PXGE” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace “Page PXGE” on
    Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the benchmark German Bund having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported are not
    ascertainable, the average of the ask-side yields as determined by Recognized German Bund Market Makers.  Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations to bond‐equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
    practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the benchmark German Bund with the maturity closest to and less than
    the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Non-Swapped Note.  

   

  “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products
    obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one‐twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with
    respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

   

  “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Non-Swapped Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to
    such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on
    which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Non-Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on
    such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 12.1.

   

  “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal
    of any Non‐Swapped Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context
    requires.

  (b)       Make-Whole Amount with respect to Swapped Notes. 
    The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an
    amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Swapped Note Discounted Value with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount related to such Swapped Note over such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount; provided, however, that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. All payments of Make-Whole Amount in respect of any Swapped Note shall be made in Dollars. 

   

  For the purposes of determining the Make‐Whole Amount with respect to any Swapped Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

   

  “New Swap Agreement” means any cross-currency swap agreement
    pursuant to which the holder of a Swapped Note is to receive payment in Dollars and which is entered into in full or partial replacement of an Original Swap Agreement as a result of such Original Swap Agreement having terminated for any reason other
    than a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled maturity.  The terms of a New Swap Agreement with respect to any Swapped Note do not have to be identical to those of the Original Swap Agreement with respect to
    such Swapped Note.

   

  “Original Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, (x) a cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto (an “Initial Swap Agreement”) that is entered into on an arm’s length basis by the original purchaser of such Swapped Note (or any affiliate thereof)
    in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the purchase of such Swapped Note and relates to the scheduled payments by the Company of interest and principal on such Swapped Note, under which the holder of such Swapped Note is to receive
    payments from the counterparty thereunder in Dollars and which is more particularly described on Schedule 8.7 hereto, (y) any Initial Swap Agreement that has been
    assumed (without any waiver, amendment, deletion or replacement of any material economic term or provision thereof) by a holder of a Swapped Note in connection with a transfer of such Swapped Note and (z) any Replacement Swap Agreement; and a “Replacement Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, a
    cross-currency swap agreement and annexes and schedules thereto with payment terms and provisions (other than a reduction in notional amount, if applicable) identical to those of the Initial Swap Agreement with respect to such Swapped Note that is
    entered into on an arm’s length basis by the holder of such Swapped Note in full or partial replacement (by amendment, modification or otherwise) of such Initial Swap Agreement (or any subsequent Replacement Swap Agreement) in a notional amount not
    exceeding the outstanding principal amount of such Swapped Note following a non-scheduled prepayment or a repayment of such Swapped Note prior to its scheduled
    maturity. Any holder of a Swapped Note that enters into, assumes or terminates an Initial Swap Agreement or Replacement Swap Agreement shall within a reasonable period of time thereafter deliver to the Company a notice of the principal economic terms
    of the confirmation, assumption or termination related thereto.

   

  “Swap Agreement” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, an
    Original Swap Agreement or a New Swap Agreement, as the case may be.

  “Swapped Note” means any Note that as of the date of the
    Closing is subject to a Swap Agreement covering the full principal amount of the Note.  A “Swapped Note” shall no longer be deemed a “Swapped Note” at

    such time as the related Swap Agreement ceases to be in force in respect thereof, unless (and until) a Replacement Swap Agreement or New Swap Agreement is entered into.

   

  “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the payment in Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to
    which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date, provided that if such Swap Agreement is not an Initial Swap Agreement, then the “Swapped Note Called Notional Amount” in respect of such Swapped Note shall not exceed the amount in Dollars which would have been due
    to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Initial Swap Agreement to which such holder was a party (or if such holder was never party to an Initial Swap Agreement, then the last Initial Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor
    in interest to such holder as a holder of such Swapped Note was a party), attributable to and in exchange for such Swapped Note Called Principal and assuming that such Swapped Note Called Principal is paid on its scheduled maturity date.

   

  “Swapped Note Called Principal” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the principal of such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

   

  “Swapped Note Discounted Value” means, with respect to the
    Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires,
    the amount obtained by discounting all Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments corresponding to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of such Swapped Note from their respective scheduled due dates to the Swapped Note Settlement Date with
    respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Swapped Note is payable) equal to the Swapped Note
    Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount.

   

  “Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note, the sum of (x) the Applicable Percentage plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask‐side yields
    reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may
    replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”)) or, if Page PX1 (or its successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service
    screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped
    Note Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported for the latest day for
    which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, in U.S. Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable
    successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date.   Such implied yield
    will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond‐equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
    maturity closest to and greater than the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life.  The Swapped Note Reinvestment Yield
    shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Swapped Note.

  “Swapped Note Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Swapped Note Called Notional Amount, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (x) such Swapped Note Called
    Notional Amount into (y) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount by (2) the number of years (calculated
    to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Swapped Note Settlement Date with respect to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the scheduled due date of such Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments.

   

  “Swapped Note Remaining Scheduled Swap Payments” means, with
    respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount relating to any Swapped Note, the payments due to the holder of such Swapped Note in Dollars under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party which correspond to all payments of
    the Swapped Note Called Principal of such Swapped Note corresponding to such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and interest on such Swapped Note Called Principal (other than that portion of the payment due under such Swap Agreement corresponding to
    the interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal to the Swapped Note Settlement Date) that would be due after the Swapped Note Settlement Date in respect of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount assuming that no payment of such Swapped Note
    Called Principal is made prior to its originally scheduled payment date, provided that if such Swapped Note Settlement Date is not a date on which an interest
    payment is due to be made under the terms of such Swapped Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Swapped Note Settlement Date and required to be paid on such
    Swapped Note Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 12.1.

   

  “Swapped Note Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount of any Swapped Note Called Principal of any Swapped Note, the date on which such Swapped Note Called Principal is to be prepaid
    pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or has become or is declared to
    be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

  Section 8.8.          Swap Breakage.  If any Swapped Note is prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable
    pursuant to Section 12.1, then (a) any resulting Net Loss in connection therewith shall be reimbursed to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company in Dollars
    upon any such prepayment or repayment of such Swapped Note and (b) any resulting Net Gain in connection therewith shall be deducted (i) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, or any principal or interest to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note by
    the Company upon any such prepayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 10.6 or (ii) from the Make-Whole Amount, if any, to be paid to the holder of such Swapped Note by the Company upon any such
    repayment of such Swapped Note pursuant to Section 12.1, provided that,

    in either case, the Make-Whole Amount, in respect of such Swapped Note may in no event be less than zero. Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating its own Net Loss or Net Gain, as the case may be, and Swap Breakage Amount in
    Dollars upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of such Swapped Note, and such calculations as reported to the Company in reasonable detail shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

   

  As used in this Section 8.8 with respect to any Swapped Note
    that is prepaid or accelerated: “Net Loss” means the amount, if any, by
    which the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by the holder of such Swapped Note; and “Net Gain” means the amount, if any, by which the Swapped Note Called
    Notional Amount is exceeded by the sum of (x) the Swapped Note Called Principal plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by such holder. For purposes of any determination of any “Net Loss” or “Net Gain,” the Swapped Note Called
    Principal shall be determined by the holder of the affected Swapped Note by converting Euros into Dollars at the current Euros/Dollar exchange rate, as determined as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day such Swapped Note is prepaid or
    accelerated as indicated on the applicable screen of Bloomberg Financial Markets and any such calculation shall be reported to the Company in reasonable detail and shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

   

  As used in this Section 8.8, “Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, in
    determining the Net Loss or Net Gain, the amount that would be received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be positive) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be negative) by the holder of such Swapped Note as if such Swap
    Agreement had terminated due to the occurrence of an event of default with the holder of such Swapped Note as the defaulting party or an early termination with the holder of such Swapped Note as the sole affected party under the ISDA 1992
    Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”); provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor in interest with respect to such Swapped
    Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of
    (x) the gain or loss (if any) which would have been received or incurred (by payment, through off-set or netting or otherwise) by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to
    which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped
    Note was a party) and which would have arisen as a result of the payment of the Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date and (y) the gain or loss (if any) actually received or incurred by the holder of such Swapped Note, in
    connection with the payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date, under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party.  The holder of such Swapped Note will make all
    calculations related to the Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in accordance with its customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA Master Agreement pursuant to which such Swap Agreement shall have been entered into and assuming
    for the purpose of such calculation that there are no other transactions entered into pursuant to such ISDA Master Agreement (other than such Swap Agreement).

  Section 9.          Affirmative Covenants.

   

  The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

   

  Section 9.1.         Compliance with Laws.  Without limiting Section 10.9, the Company will, and will cause each of its
    Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred
    to in Section 5.16, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the
    ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or
    maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

   

  Section 9.2.          Insurance.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and
    businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co‐insurance and self‐insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of
    entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

   

  Section 9.3.         Maintenance of Properties.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair,
    working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided
    that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such
    discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  Section 9.4.          Payment of Taxes and Claims.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes
    shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable
    and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment or claims if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in
    good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments and claims
    in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  Section 9.5.        Legal Existence, Etc.  Subject to Section 10.5, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in
    full force and effect its legal existence.  Subject to Sections 10.5 and 10.6,
    the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Wholly‐owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries
    unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  Section 9.6.         Books and Records.  The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any
    Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company, or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

   

  Section 9.7.          Guaranty by Subsidiaries.  (a) The Company may, at its election, at any time or from time to time, cause any Subsidiary which is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary
    Guarantor by satisfying the following conditions:

   

  (i)          deliver to each of the holders of the Notes of an executed counterpart of a Subsidiary Guaranty, or joinder agreement in
    respect of an existing Subsidiary Guaranty, as appropriate executed by such Subsidiary;

   

  (ii)         deliver to each of the holders of the Notes of a certificate signed by the president, a vice president or another
    authorized officer of such Subsidiary (A) making representations and warranties to the effect of those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6 and 5.7, but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty, as applicable and (B) certifying that at such time (and after giving effect to such Subsidiary
    Guaranty) (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (2) such Subsidiary (x) will not be insolvent, (y) will not be engaged in any business or transaction, or about to engage in any business or transaction, for which
    it has unreasonably small capital and (z) does not intend to, and will not, hinder, delay or defraud any Person to which it is, or will become, indebted, in each of the foregoing such cases after taking into account the reasonable likelihood of having
    to perform under such Subsidiary Guaranty;

  (iii)       deliver to each of the holders of the Notes such documents and evidence with respect to such Subsidiary as the Required
    Holders may reasonably request in order to establish the existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the authorization of the transactions contemplated by such Subsidiary Guaranty;

   

  (iv)        deliver to each holder of a Note an opinion or opinions of counsel to the combined effect that the Subsidiary Guaranty of
    such Subsidiary has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to customary and reasonable
    exceptions and assumptions under the circumstances;

   

  (v)         payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of the holders of the Notes, including, without limitation, the reasonable
    fees of not more than one special counsel representing all of the holders of the Notes, incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty and the related opinion described above; and

   

  (vi)        deliver to each holder of a Note of evidence of the appointment of the Company as such Subsidiary’s agent to receive, for
    it and on it’s behalf service of process in the State of New York with respect thereto.

   

  (b)         The Company may further, from time to time at its discretion and upon written notice from the Company to the holders of the Notes referring
    to this Section 9.7(b) (which notice shall contain a certification (including setting forth the information (including reasonably detailed computations)
    reasonably required to confirm the conclusions contained therein) by a Responsible Officer as to (i) the matters specified in clauses (c) and (d) below and (ii) that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or shall
    result therefrom) (the “Termination Notice”), terminate the Subsidiary Guaranty issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor with effect from the date of such notice, so
    long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or shall result therefrom.

   

  (c)          The Company agrees that so long as any Subsidiary is a guarantor or a borrower under or with respect to the Bank Credit Agreement, the 2017 notes, the 2011 Notes or any of the 2013Existing Notes, such Subsidiary shall at all such times be a Subsidiary Guarantor.

   

  (d)         The Company agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
    consideration or remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any creditor of the Company or of any Subsidiary Guarantor as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any such creditor of
    any release or discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an obligor or guarantor under or in respect of Debt of the Company, unless such consideration or remuneration is concurrently paid, on
    the same terms, ratably to the holders of all of the Notes then outstanding.

  Section 9.8.        Most Favored Lender Status.  (a) If the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (i) is as of the date of this Agreement a party to the Bank Credit Agreement or any of the note purchase agreementagreements relating to the 2017 notes, the 2011 Notes or the 2013Existing Notes (an “Existing Credit Facility”), or (ii) after the date of this
    Agreement enters into any amendment or other modification of any Existing Credit Facility (an “Amended Credit Facility”), or (iii) enters into any new credit facility, whether with commercial banks or other Institutional Investors pursuant to
    a credit agreement, note purchase agreement or other like agreement (in any such case, a “New Credit Facility”) after the date of this Agreement under which the
    Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may incur Debt in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000,000 (or the equivalent in the relevant currency), that in any such case as on the date of this Agreement, or after the date of this Agreement, results in
    one or more additional or more restrictive covenants or events of default than those contained in this Agreement being contained in any such Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as the case may be (such additional
    or more restrictive covenant or event of default, as the case may be, together with all definitions relating thereto, in the case of an Existing Credit Facility, including as amended by an Amended Credit Facility, the “Existing Facility Additional Provision(s)” and in the case of a New Credit Facility, the “New Facility Additional Provision(s)” and such covenants and events of default shall be an Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional
    Provision(s) only to the extent not already included herein, or if already included herein, only to the extent more restrictive than the analogous covenants or events of default included herein), then the terms of this Agreement, without any further
    action on the part of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the holders of the Notes, will unconditionally be deemed on the effective date of such Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as the case may be, or the date hereof in the
    case of an Existing Credit Facility to be automatically amended to include the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or such New Facility Additional Provision(s), as the case may be, and any event of default in respect of any such additional or
    more restrictive covenant(s) so included herein shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 11(c) (after giving effect to any grace or cure provisions
    under such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or such New Facility Additional Provision(s) or event of default), subject to all applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies exercisable
    by the holders of the Notes hereunder.

   

  (b)         If after the date of execution of any Amended Credit Facility or a New Credit Facility, as the case may be, or in the case of an Existing
    Credit Facility, if after the date hereof, any one or more of the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or the New Facility Additional Provision(s) is excluded, terminated, loosened, tightened, amended or otherwise modified under the corresponding
    Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility, as applicable, then and in such event any such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s) theretofore included in this Agreement pursuant
    to the requirements of Section 9.8(a) shall then and thereupon automatically and without any further action by any Person be so excluded, terminated, loosened,
    tightened or otherwise amended or modified under this Section 9.8(b) to the same extent as the exclusion, termination, loosening, tightening of other amendment or
    modification thereof under the Existing Credit Facility, Amended Credit Facility or New Credit Facility; provided that if a Default or Event of Default shall
    have occurred and be continuing by reason of the Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or the New Facility Additional Provision(s) at the time any such Existing Facility Additional Provision(s) or New Facility Additional Provision(s) is or are to
    be so excluded, terminated, loosened, tightened, amended or modified under this Section 9.8(b), the prior written consent thereto of the Required Holders shall be

  Section 12.         Remedies on Default, Etc.

   

  Section 12.1.       Acceleration.  (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g) or
    (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g)
    or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

   

  (b)         If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 51% in principal amount of the Notes at the
    time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

   

  (c)         If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or

    (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their
    option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

   

  Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1,
    whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default
    Rate) and (ii) the sum of the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and the Swap Breakage Amount, if any, each determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and
    every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived.  The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from
    repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a
    result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

  Section 12.2.       Other Remedies.  If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under
    Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or
    other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby
    or thereby or by law or otherwise.

   

  Section 12.3.       Rescission.  At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or

    (c), the holders of not less than 60% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such
    declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by
    reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and the Make‐Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Breakage Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
    Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non‐payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason
    of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due
    pursuant hereto or to the Notes.  No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or
    impair any right consequent thereon.

   

  Section 12.4.       No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc.  No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver
    thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein
    or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.  Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay
    to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice
    from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

   

  (a)          in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000 or a Qualified
    Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

   

  (b)          in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

   

  within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to

  Section 14.2.       Home Office Payment.

    address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from
    time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly
    after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated
    by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1.  The Company will make such payments in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time on

    Default Rate set forth in the Note.  Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which
    interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2.  The Company will afford the
    benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement

  All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty and the Notes,
    the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of
    such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note.  All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or a Subsidiary Guaranty shall be deemed
    representations and warranties of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or such Subsidiary Guaranty.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the Swap Indemnity Letter embody the entire agreement and
    understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

      1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser
    in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the
    Make‐Whole Amount on the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17, 20, 22.9 or 22.10.

   

  Section 17.2.        Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

   

  (a)         Solicitation.  The Company will provide each
    holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to
    any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of a Subsidiary Guaranty or of the Notes.  The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to
    the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the

  (b)         Payment.  The Company will not directly or
    indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the
    entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note or of a Subsidiary Guaranty unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit
    support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

   

  (c)         Consent in Contemplation of Transfer.  Any
    consent made pursuant to this Section 17 by the holder of any Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer such Note to the Company, any Subsidiary or any
    Affiliate of the Company and has provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be
    effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect
    except solely as to such transferring holder.

   

  Section 17.3.        Binding Effect, Etc.  Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies
    equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver will extend to
    or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between the Company and any holder of a Note nor any delay in exercising any rights
    hereunder, under a Subsidiary Guaranty or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.  As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be
    amended or supplemented.

   

  Section 17.4.        Notes Held by Company, Etc.  Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or
    consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes or in any Subsidiary Guaranty to be taken upon the direction
    of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

    Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such
    Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement.  Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement.

  In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
    contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is
    different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended
    thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

   

  Section 21.         Substitution of Purchaser.

   

  Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by

    respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.  Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21) shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser.  In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder
    and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in
    this Section 21) shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have
    all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
