 No service charge shall be made

Clause A shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and next to outstanding principal. 
 In the event of a repayment in part
pursuant to this Clause A, the Company shall issue a new Security equal in substance to this Security but in a principal amount equal to the remaining principal amount in the name of the Holder of the Security upon cancellation of the original
Security.

of the Security and a Relevant Jurisdiction other than a connection related solely to purchase or ownership of this Security;

Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Security or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that the beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a member of the partnership would not
have been entitled to the

payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, beneficiary, settlor or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

the Company or any paying agent to meet certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Security or to satisfy any information or
reporting requirement, or to present the Security, if compliance such action is required as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in, such tax, assessment or other governmental charge by the Relevant Jurisdiction;

 (6) to any estate,
inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, personal property or similar Taxes; 
 (7) to any Taxes any paying agent (which term may

European Union Council Directive 2003/48/EC of June 3, 2003, European Union Council Directive 2014/48/EU of March 24, 2014, or any other European Union Directive on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments
implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN (European Union Economic and Finance Ministers) Council Meeting of 26-27 November 2000 or any subsequent Council Meeting amending or supplementing those conclusions, or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, either or both of those Directives;

of such Taxes is imposed on the Security presented for payment by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid the withholding or deduction by presenting the Security to another paying agent in a member state of the European

  (d) Lender’s investment in the Company pursuant to this Agreement is consistent, in both nature and amount, with Lender’s overall investment program and financial condition.
   
  (e) Lender’s financial condition is such that Lender can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Conversion Shares, and to suffer a complete loss of Lender’s investment in the Company represented by the Conversion Shares.
   
  (f) All action on the part of Lender, and its officers, directors and partners, if applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Lender hereunder and thereunder has been taken, and this Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto, constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.
   
  (g) Lender realizes that because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company’s financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high degree of financial and market risk that could result in substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors in securities of the Company.
