Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security (including terms specified in the Prospectus), the terms of this Security shall control. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Prospectus and the terms of this Security, the terms of the Prospectus will control.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to a number as shall be determined and may be increased from time to time by the Company. References herein to “this series” mean the series of Securities designated on the face hereof. Capitalized terms used in this Security and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on the face hereof or in the Indenture. The aggregate number of Warrants evidenced by this Security is indicated on the face hereof.
The Company has appointed HSBC Bank USA, National Association at its office at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Attn: Corporate Trust & Loan Agency as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Company) and Security Registrar with respect to the Securities.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in number of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected as described in the Indenture.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in number of the Outstanding Securities of any series to, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of any such series, waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, with certain exceptions. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Securities of such series under the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of this Security except as provided in Section 3.04 or Section 3.06 of the Indenture. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration, transfer or exchange of this Security, other than those expressly provided in the Indenture to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders.

No right or remedy herein or in the Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or under the Indenture now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
