Section 2.07Replacement Bonds.  

(a)If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee or either the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of evidence of authentication in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, shall authenticate a replacement Bond if the Trustee’s requirements for replacement of Bonds are met.  An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Bond is replaced.  The Trustee and the Company each may charge such Holder for their expenses in replacing such Bond.

(b)In case any Bond that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be exchanged in accordance with Article 11 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Bond), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Bond and of the ownership thereof.

Section 2.08Outstanding Bonds.  Bonds Outstanding at any time are all Bonds authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not Outstanding.  A Bond does not cease to be Outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Bond.

If a Bond is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be Outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Bond is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

Section 2.12CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Bonds may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Bonds.

(c)In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order as described in Section 2.02, an Opinion of Counsel as to enforceability of the additional Bonds, together with an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent to the issuance and authentication of the additional Bonds have been satisfied.

Section 4.10Waiver of Certain Covenants.  The Company may, with respect to any Bonds, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in this Indenture (other than to the extent expressly set forth in Section 9.02 hereof), if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and any Guarantor and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive compliance with any covenant or condition hereunder.  If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such record date, or their duly appointed agents, and only such Persons shall be entitled to waive any such compliance, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that unless the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have waived such compliance prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

Section 4.13Additional Amounts.

(a)All payments made by the Company, the Guarantors or on the Company’s or the Guarantors’ behalf under or with respect to the Bonds or the Guarantee (including deliveries of Parent Shares, Reference Property and payment of cash for any fractional share upon exchange) shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future withholding taxes, levies, imposts and charges (a “withholding tax”) imposed by or for the account of the Cayman Islands, Switzerland or any other jurisdiction in which any of the Company or any Guarantor is a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.  If such deduction or withholding is at any time required, the Company or the Guarantors, as applicable, will, to the fullest extent allowed by law (subject to compliance by the holder of a Bond with any relevant administrative requirements), pay additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) under the Bonds, including deliveries of Parent Shares, Reference Property and payment of cash for any fractional share upon exchange, in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and this Indenture, as may be necessary so that the net amounts paid to the holder or the Trustee after such deduction or withholding will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments

​

​ 28 ​

​

​

in the absence of such withholding or deduction.  However, neither the Company nor the Guarantors will pay Additional Amounts in the following instances:

(i)if any withholding tax would not be payable or due but for the fact that (1) the Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, the Holder, if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation), is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or being physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Bond or the collection of principal amount, Tax Event Repurchase Price, Change of Control Repurchase Price, Listing Failure Event Repurchase Price or of any other amount payable under the Bonds, in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and this Indenture, or the enforcement of the Bonds or (2) where presentation is required, the Bond was presented more than 30 days after the date such payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later;

(ii)if any withholding tax is attributable to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, levy, impost or charge;

(iii)if any withholding tax is attributable to any tax, levy, impost or charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal amount, redemption price, repurchase price and interest (if any);

(iv)if any withholding tax would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the relevant tax authority of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Bond, if this compliance is required by statute or by regulation as a precondition to relief or exemption from such withholding tax;

(v)to the extent a holder of a Bond is entitled to a refund or credit in such Taxing Jurisdiction of amounts required to be withheld by such Taxing Jurisdiction

(vi)if any withholding tax would not be payable but for a Tax Event and the Company has made a Tax Event Offer to Repurchase as contemplated by Article 12 of this Indenture;

(vii)if any withholding tax or deduction is required to be made in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version), current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any official interpretation thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code;

(viii)if any withholding tax is required to be made in respect of payments made to Holders resident in Switzerland (including any Holders who fail to provide required certification, documentation or other information establishing residence outside of Switzerland) pursuant to laws enacted by Switzerland providing for the taxation of payments according to principles similar to those laid down in the draft legislation of the Swiss Federal Council of April 3, 2020, or otherwise changing the Swiss federal withholding tax system from an issuer-based system to a paying agent-based system to which a person other than the issuer is required to withhold tax on any interest payment; or

(ix)any combination of the above items.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall also pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest, additions to

​

​ 29 ​

​

​

tax and other liabilities related thereto) that are levied by any Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Bonds, the Guarantee, this Indenture or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the Bonds.

(b)If the Company or any Guarantor becomes aware that the Company or any Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Bonds or the Guarantee, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable.  The notice must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Trustee to pay Additional Amounts to Holders of the Bonds on the relevant payment date.  The Company shall provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.  Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Bonds to determine Additional Amounts, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Amounts owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of Additional Amounts.

(c)The Company or any Guarantor, as appropriate, shall timely make all withholdings and deductions required by law and shall remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law.  The Company shall furnish to the Trustee (or to a Holder of the Bonds upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company or the Guarantors, as appropriate, or if receipts are not reasonably available, other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(d)Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the delivery of Parent Shares or other Reference Property (together with payment of cash for any fractional shares), payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Bonds or of principal, interest, Tax Event Repurchase Price, Change of Control Repurchase Price, Listing Failure Event Repurchase Price or of any other amount payable under, or with respect to, any of the Bonds such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts, if applicable.

(e)The obligations under this Section 4.13 shall survive any termination or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or the Guarantors is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person or its paying agent makes any payment on the Bonds and, in each case, any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

Section 4.14Required Information.

(a)The Company and the Guarantors shall file with the Trustee within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or reports that they are required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act).  Any such document or report that the Company or the Guarantors file with the Commission via the Commission’s XXXXX system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.14(a) at the time such documents are filed via the XXXXX system.

(b)Delivery of such reports, documents and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants (as to which the

​

​ 30 ​

​

​

Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).  The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or any Guarantor’s compliance with the terms of this Section 4.14 or the posting of any reports, documents and information on the XXXXX system or any website.

(c)The Company and the Guarantors shall also make available copies of all reports required by clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.14, if and so long as the Bonds are listed on a Listing Exchange and the rules and regulations of such Listing Exchange so require, to such Listing Exchange.

None of the Company or the Parent shall, in any transaction or series of transactions, consolidate with, merge with or into or complete a scheme of arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation with any Person, or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:

(a)either (i) the Company or the Parent, as the case may be, shall be the continuing Person or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company or the Parent) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or the Parent, as the case may be, is merged or amalgamated, or to which such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition is made (a “Successor Company”) (A) is an entity, validly organized and existing in good standing (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable) under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, or any other jurisdiction that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder under this Indenture in any material respect and (B) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all the Bonds and the performance of the Company’s or the Parent’s covenants and obligations, as applicable, under this Indenture and the Bonds;

(b)immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

(c)the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the transaction and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or board resolution, the term “merger” includes an amalgamation under Cayman Islands law, and the term “all or substantially all of its assets”, with respect to the Company or the Parent, as applicable, shall be computed on a consolidated basis.

Section 5.02Successor Corporation to Be Substituted.  In case of any such consolidation, merger, combination, sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Bonds, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon exchange of the Bonds and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to this Section 6.01 with respect to Bonds all or part of which is represented by a Global Bond, a record date shall automatically and without any other action taken by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Bonds entitled to join in any Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee shall have received such Notice of Default.  The Holders of Outstanding Bonds on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Bonds on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined in such Notice of Default prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from a Notice of Default previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a Notice of Default identical to a Notice of Default that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Bonds, and

(4) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(5) all Events of Default with respect to Bonds other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Bonds which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c)Upon the Trustee providing any declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof pursuant to this Section 6.02 with respect to Bonds all or part of which is represented by a Global Bond, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Bonds entitled to join such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the date the Trustee shall have provided such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be.  The Holders of Outstanding Bonds on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date (or their duly appointed agents), such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may by, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or duly appointed agent thereof)

​

from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from a declaration previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a declaration identical to a declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02.

Section 6.03Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.  The Company covenants that if:

(a)default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Bond when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b)default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Bond at the Maturity Date thereof,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable on such Bonds for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any Defaulted Amounts (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Bonds, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name, as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Bonds and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Bonds, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Bonds occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Bonds by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.05Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Bonds.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Bonds may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Bonds in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

​

(e)no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or obtains preference or priority over such other Holders).

Section 6.08Unconditional Contractual Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the contractual right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and in such Bond of the (x) principal of (and premium, if any, including, if applicable, the payment of the Tax Event Repurchase Price, the Change of Control Repurchase Price or the Listing Failure Event Repurchase Price) and interest, if any, on such Bond on the Maturity Date expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and (y) the consideration due upon exchange of, such Bond, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Bond or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such contractual rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.09Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.10Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein 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 now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Bonds to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12Control by Holders.  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds in respect of which an Event of Default has occurred shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Outstanding Bonds, provided that in each case (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such

​

​ 37 ​

​

​

direction.  Subject to Section 7.01, prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee is entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all loss, liability and expense caused by taking or not taking such action.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Bonds all or part of which is represented by a Global Bond, a record date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Bonds entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee shall have received such direction.  The Holders of Outstanding Bonds on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Bonds on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent of a Holder) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from a direction previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a direction identical to a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.12.

Section 6.13Waiver of Past Defaults.  Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Bonds waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder, except a default:

(b)resulting from the failure by the Company or any Guarantor to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon exchange of the Bonds or

(c)in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder.  If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date (or their duly designated agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any such default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.14Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Bond by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.14

​

​ 38 ​

​

​

shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, including, if applicable, the payment of the Tax Event Repurchase Price, the Change of Control Repurchase Price or the Listing Failure Event Repurchase Price) or interest on any Bond on or after the Maturity Date expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 6.15Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted; provided that this Section 6.15 shall not prohibit the Company from exercising any rights it may have under this Indenture to contest any actions taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.

​

Section 7.05Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs with respect to the Bonds and is continuing and is actually known to a Trust Officer or the Trustee receives notice as provided in Section 7.02(h) hereof, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default within 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Bond, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

Section 7.06Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to:  (i) pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder as has been agreed to by the Company and the Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust); (ii) reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services (such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts); and (iii) indemnify, defend and protect and hold the Trustee (in its individual and trustee capacities) and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Bonds on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Bonds.

The Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law or any similar federal, provincial, territorial or state law for the relief of debtors.

Section 7.07Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds may remove the Trustee with respect to the Bonds by so notifying with 31 days prior notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee.  The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(a)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09

(b)the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d)the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

​

​ 42 ​

​

​

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company, or is removed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Bonds.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense) or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Bonds may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.  In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Bonds shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Bonds so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Bonds shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Bonds either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Bonds or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.09Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

(a)There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be:

(i)a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or of any state or territory thereof, or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, or

(ii)a corporation or other person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government permitted to act as a Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or other order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees.

Section 7.10Monies and Parent Shares to Be Held in Trust.  All monies and Parent Shares received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received.  Money and Parent Shares held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money or Parent Shares received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time in writing by the Company and the Trustee.

Article 10​
Guarantee

Section 10.01Guarantees.  Each Guarantor of Bonds hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of (including the Tax Event Repurchase Price, Change of Control Repurchase Price or Listing Failure Event Repurchase Price, as the

​

​

case may be, pursuant to Article 12 or Article 13, as applicable), premium, if any, interest, if any on the Bonds and any Parent Shares, and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares, if any, due upon exchange of the Bonds in accordance with Article 11, in each case, when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, upon repurchase in connection with a Tax Event or Fundamental Change or otherwise or upon exchange, or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Bonds and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Bonds under this Indenture with respect to the Bonds (all the foregoing, being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantees” or “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Guarantor of Bonds further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any obligation.

Each Guarantor of Bonds waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Guarantor of Bonds waives notice of any default under the Bonds or the Guaranteed Obligations.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder of Bonds shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Guarantor) under this Indenture with respect to the Bonds or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Bonds or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor of Bonds further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any Bond held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01, 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor of Bonds hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor of Bonds herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture with respect to the Bonds or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Guarantor of Bonds further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder of Bonds or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply

​

​ 47 ​

​

​

with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

Each Guarantor of Bonds agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor of Bonds also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02Limitation on Liability.  Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor of Bonds shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 10.03Successors and Assigns.  A Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate, merge or enter into a scheme of arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation with any Person or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person and the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor may be sold or otherwise disposed of to another Person; provided, however, that in the case of the consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation or sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or other disposition of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor, (x) if such other Person is not the Parent, the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee must be expressly assumed by such other Person, except in connection with a transaction in which the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor would be released as provided in Section 10.06 or (y) in the case of such assumption, such Person is an entity, validly organized and existing in good standing (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable) under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, or any other jurisdiction that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder under this Indenture in any material respect. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Bonds shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.04No Waiver.  Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

​

​

​

Section 10.05Modification.  No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.06Release of Subsidiary Guarantor.  (a)  A Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from its obligations under this Article 10 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07), and will immediately cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of Section 4.06):

(i)upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation) of a Subsidiary Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company;

(ii)upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets (including by way of consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation) of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(iii)if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article 8; or

(iv)if the Bonds are rated Investment Grade by at least two of three of Xxxxx’x, S&P or Fitch and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture;

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture.  Such release shall be effective regardless of whether the Bonds maintain an Investment Grade.

(b)At the request of the Company and upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, if required, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Section 10.06.

Section 10.07Contribution.  Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.08Execution and Delivery.  (a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer, director, general manager or person holding an equivalent title.

(c)If the person whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Bond, the Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless.

​

​ 49 ​

​

​

(d)The delivery of any Bond by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Article 11​
Exchange of Bonds

Section 11.01Exchange Privilege.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, each Holder of a Bond shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to surrender all or any portion (if the portion to be exchanged is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Bond at any time prior to the close of business on (1) the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (2) the second Business Day immediately preceding any Redemption Date, in exchange for Parent Shares at an initial exchange rate of 162.1626 of Parent Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Bonds, which represents an initial Exchange Price of approximately $6.17 per Parent Share (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 11, the “Exchange Rate”); provided that the number of Parent Shares resulting from an exchange shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Parent Share, and the Company shall pay cash to such Holder in lieu of fractional shares (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 11.02 (the “Exchange Obligation”)).

Section 11.02Exchange Procedure; Settlement Upon Exchange.

(a)The Company shall deliver to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Bonds being exchanged a number of Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date (the “Settlement Amount”).  On the Business Days following the Exchange Date the Company shall (i) determine the Settlement Amount and (ii) notify the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Settlement Amount and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional Parent Shares.  The Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b)To exchange a Bond, a Holder shall (i) in the case of an Unrestricted Global Bond, comply with the Applicable Procedures in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 11.02(h), (ii) in the case of a Restricted Global Bond, (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice (which may be delivered in PDF form with an original copy delivered no later than three Trading Days thereafter) to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (a “Notice of Exchange”) at the office of the Exchange Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Bonds to be exchanged and the name or names (with addresses) (and if applicable, the DTC Participant or Person to which such exchanging Holder wishes any Parent Shares, whether in certificated or book-entry format, to be delivered upon settlement of the Exchange Obligation to be registered), (2) surrender such Bonds, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Exchange Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 11.02(h) and (iii) in the case of a Physical Bond, (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice (which may be delivered in PDF form with an original copy delivered no later than three Trading Days thereafter) to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Notice of Exchange at the office of the Exchange Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Bonds to be exchanged and the name or names (with addresses) (and if applicable, the DTC Participant or Person to which such exchanging Holder wishes any Parent Shares, whether in certificated or book-entry format, to be delivered upon settlement of the Exchange Obligation to be registered), (2) surrender such Bonds, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Exchange Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 11.02(h).  The Exchange Agent

​

​ 50 ​

​

​

shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee (if other than the Exchange Agent) of any exchange pursuant to this Article 11 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon the receipt of the original copy of the related Notice of Exchange).  No Notice of Exchange with respect to any Bonds may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Bonds and has not validly withdrawn such Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 11.02.

The Exchange Obligation with respect to Bonds surrendered for exchange by a given Holder on a given Exchange Date shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered or, in the case of any Global Bond, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(c)The Business Day on which a Holder satisfies the foregoing requirements in clause (b) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of an exchange of a Restricted Global Bond or Physical Bond, (x) confirmation of the information set forth in such Notice of Exchange by the Company, which the Company shall confirm or reject on or prior to the second Trading Day following receipt of such Notice of Exchange from the Exchange Agent, and (y) delivery to the Exchange Agent of the original copy of the related Notice of Exchange) is referred to, with respect to the exchange by such Holder, as the “Exchange Date”. A Bond shall be deemed to have been exchanged at the close of business on the Exchange Date; provided, however, that the Person in whose name any Parent Shares shall be issuable upon such exchange shall become the stockholder of record of such Parent Shares as of the close of business on the Business Day following the Exchange Date, except as set forth in Section 11.05.  Except as set forth in Section 11.07(a), the Company shall deliver the consideration due in respect of the Exchange Obligation on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date (or, if such exchange is in connection with a Fundamental Change, on the fifth Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date).  The Parent shall issue or deliver or cause to be issued or delivered, and the Company shall deliver (if applicable) to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of Parent Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format, in satisfaction of the Parent’s Exchange Obligation.

(d)In case any Physical Bond shall be surrendered for partial exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Physical Bond so surrendered a new Physical Bond or Physical Bonds in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Physical Bond, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Physical Bonds issued upon such exchange being different from the name of the Holder of the old Physical Bonds surrendered for such exchange.

(e)If a Holder submits a Bond for exchange, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any Parent Shares upon exchange, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name or the name of a Person on behalf of that Holder, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.  The Exchange Agent may refuse to deliver or refuse to instruct the transfer agent to deliver the Parent Shares being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, or the name of a Person holding on behalf of that Holder, until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f)Except as provided in Section 11.05, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any Parent Shares issued upon the exchange of any Bond as provided in this Article 11.

​

​ 51 ​

​

​

(g)Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Bond, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Bond as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchange of Bonds effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.

(h)Upon exchange, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below.  The Company’s or any Guarantor’s payment or delivery to the Holders of Parent Shares upon exchange of the Bonds (including any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay (1) the principal amount of the Bonds and (2) accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the Exchange Date, except as set forth in this clause (h). As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.  Upon an exchange of Bonds into Parent Shares, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date, if any, will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such exchange.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Bonds are exchanged after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Bonds as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Bonds on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange.  Bonds surrendered for exchange during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Bonds so exchanged; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for exchanges following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Tax Event Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is (x) after a Regular Record Date and (y) on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, and the relevant Exchange Date occurs after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to such Business Day; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of exchange with respect to such Bond.  Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Bonds have been exchanged following such Regular Record Date.

(i)As of the Exchange Date, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Bonds surrendered for exchange.

(j)No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exchange of the Bonds, and the Company shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Parent Shares (calculated by dividing the number of fractional shares otherwise deliverable by the Last Reported Sale Price on the Exchange Date).

Section 11.03Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Bonds Surrendered in Connection with Fundamental Changes.

(a)If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to exchange its Bonds in connection with such Fundamental Change, the Parent shall increase the Exchange Rate for the Bonds so surrendered for exchange as described in this Section 11.03.  An exchange of Bonds shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Exchange is received by the Exchange Agent from, and including, the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice up to, and including, the second Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (such period, the “Fundamental Change Period”).

​

​ 52 ​

​

​

(b)The increased Exchange Rate applicable to any exchange in connection with a Change of Control shall be determined as follows:

COCER = OER multiplied by (1 +(EP x (c/t))), where

COCER = Exchange Rate applicable to exchanges in connection with the applicable Change of Control pursuant to this Section 11.03(b)

OER = Exchange Rate otherwise applicable at such time, before giving effect to the increase resulting from the applicable Change of Control

EP = 22.50%

c = the number of days from and including the date of the Fundamental Change to, but not including, the Maturity Date

t = the number of days from and including the Issue Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date

(c)The increased Exchange Rate applicable to any exchange in connection with a Listing Failure Event shall be determined as follows:

LFER = OER multiplied by (1 +(EP x (c/t))), where

LFER = Exchange Rate applicable to exchanges in connection with the applicable Listing Failure Event pursuant to this Section 11.03(c)

OER = Exchange Rate otherwise applicable at such time, before giving effect to the increase resulting from the applicable Listing Failure Event

EP = 22.50%

c = the number of days from and including the date of the Listing Failure Event to, but not including, the Maturity Date

t = the number of days from and including the Issue Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date

(d)Nothing in this Section 11.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 in respect of a Fundamental Change.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder exchanges its Bonds prior to the Fundamental Change Period, then, whether or not such Fundamental Change occurs, the Holder shall not be entitled to an increased Exchange Rate in connection with such Fundamental Change.

Section 11.04Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Bonds Surrendered in Connection with a Tax Event

(a)If a Tax Event occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to exchange its Bonds in connection with such Tax Event, the Parent shall increase the Exchange Rate for the Bonds so surrendered for exchange as described in this Section 11.04.  An exchange of Bonds shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Tax Event if the relevant Notice of Exchange is received by the Exchange Agent from, and including, the date of the Tax Event Company Notice up to, and including,

​

​ 53 ​

​

​

the second Business Day immediately prior to the related Tax Event Repurchase Date (such period the “Tax Event Repurchase Period”).

(b)The increased Exchange Rate applicable to any exchange in connection with a Tax Event shall be determined as follows:

XXXX = OER multiplied by (1 +(EP x (c/t))), where

XXXX = Exchange Rate applicable to exchanges in connection with the applicable Tax Event pursuant to this Section 11.04(b)

OER = Exchange Rate otherwise applicable at such time, before giving effect to the increase resulting from the applicable Tax Event

EP = 22.50%

c = the number of days from and including the date of the Tax Event Company Notice to, but not including, the Maturity Date

t = the number of days from and including the Issue Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date

(c)Nothing in this Section 11.04 shall prevent an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 in respect of a Tax Event.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder exchanges its Bonds prior to the Tax Event Repurchase Period, then, whether or not such Tax Event occurs, the Holder shall not be entitled to an increased Exchange Rate in connection with such Tax Event.

Section 11.05Adjustment of Exchange Rate.  The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Parent if any of the following events occurs, except that the Parent shall not make any adjustments to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Bonds have the right to participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Parent Shares and solely as a result of holding the Bonds, in any of the transactions described in this Section 11.05, without having to exchange their Bonds, as if they held a number of Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time for such adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Bonds held by such Holder.

(a)If the Parent exclusively issues Parent Shares as a dividend or distribution on Parent Shares, or if the Parent effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

OS₀ = the number of shares of Parent Shares outstanding immediately prior to such share split or share combination, as applicable; and

​

​ 54 ​

​

​

OS’ = the number of Parent Shares that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 11.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the date for such share split or share combination, as applicable.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 11.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Parent’s Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)If the Parent issues to all or substantially all holders of the Parent Shares any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a shareholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Parent Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

OS₀ = the number of Parent Shares outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

X = the total number of Parent Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of Parent Shares equal to quotient of the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Parent Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 11.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance.  To the extent that Parent Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Parent Shares actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 11.05(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Parent Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Parent Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Parent for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or exchange thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Parent’s Board of Directors.

​

​ 55 ​

​

​

(c)If the Parent distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Parent or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Parent Shares, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 11.05(a) or Section 11.05(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 11.05(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 11.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Parent Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Parent’s Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding Parent Shares on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 11.05(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution.  If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Bond shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Parent Shares receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares or shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Parent, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;

FMV₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Parent Shares applicable to one Parent Share (determined by reference to the

​

​ 56 ​

​

​

definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Parent Shares were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

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

The increase to the Exchange Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off (provided that if the settlement of any Exchange Obligation would otherwise be required at a time at which data required for calculation of the amount of any increase pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) is not yet available, such settlement may be delayed until promptly following the time at which such data becomes available); provided that if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Exchange Date in determining the Exchange Rate.

For purposes of this Section 11.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 11.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Parent to all holders of Parent Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Parent’s Capital Stock, including Parent Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):  (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Parent Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Parent Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 11.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Rate shall be made under this Section 11.05(c).  If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 11.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Parent Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Parent Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Sections 11.05(a), Section 11.05(b) and this Section 11.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A)a dividend or distribution of Parent Shares to which Section 11.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

​

​ 57 ​

​

​

(B)a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 11.05(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”), then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by this Section 11.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Parent (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any Parent Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date within the meaning of Section 11.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 11.05(b).

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

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀ = the Last Reported Sale Price of Parent Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

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

Any increase pursuant to this Section 11.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution.  If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Parent’s Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Bond shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Bonds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Parent Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e)If the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any open market buybacks or purchases that are not tender offers) or exchange offer for Parent Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Parent Shares exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Parent Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

​

​

​ 58 ​

​

​

where,

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

ER’ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Parent’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for Parent Shares purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀ = the number of Parent Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Parent Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS’ = the number of Parent Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all Parent Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Parent Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and

SP’ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Parent Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Exchange Rate under this Section 11.05(e) shall occur at the open of business on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (provided that if the settlement of any Exchange Obligation would otherwise be required at a time at which data required for calculation of the amount of any increase pursuant to this Section 11.05(e) is not yet available, such settlement may be delayed until promptly following the time at which such data becomes available); provided that if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Exchange Date in determining the Exchange Rate as of such Trading Day.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this subsection (e), the term “tender offer” is used as such term is used in the Exchange Act and the term “exchange offer” means an exchange offer that constitutes a tender offer.

(f)Except as stated herein, the Parent shall not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of Parent Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Parent Shares or the right to purchase Parent Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(g)In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 11.05, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Parent’s securities are then listed, the Parent from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Parent’s Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Parent’s best interest.  In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Parent’s securities are then listed, the Parent may (but is not required to) increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Parent Shares or rights to purchase Parent Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of Parent Shares (or rights to acquire Parent Shares) or similar event.  Whenever the Exchange

​

​ 59 ​

​

​

Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of each Bond a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, the Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i)unless the adjustment would result in a change in the Exchange Rate of at least 1%; provided that any adjustment which by reason of the foregoing is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Such carried forward adjustment shall be made, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% on the Exchange Date for any Bonds;

(ii)upon the issuance of any Parent Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Parent’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Parent Shares under any such plan;

(iii)upon the issuance of any Parent Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, officer or consultant benefit, compensation or stock purchase plan or program of or assumed by the Parent or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries;

(iv)upon the issuance of any Parent Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the Issue Date;

(v)upon the repurchase of any Parent Shares pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buyback transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 11.05(e);

(vi)solely for a change in the nominal value of the Parent Shares; or

(vii)for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(i)All calculations and other determinations under this Article 11 shall be made by the Parent and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

(j)Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (i) notify Holders of such adjustment and publish such information on the Parent’s website or through such other public medium as the Parent may use at that time and (ii) deliver to the Trustee (and the Exchange Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.  Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(k)For purposes of this Section 11.05, the number of Parent Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Parent Shares held in the treasury of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries so long as the Parent does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Parent Shares held in the treasury of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 11.06Adjustments of Prices.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Parent to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Parent’s Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated.

Section 11.07Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Parent Shares.

(a)In the case of:

(i)any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Parent Shares (other than changes resulting from a change in par value, or a subdivision or combination),

(ii)any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Parent,

(iii)any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Parent and the Parent’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or

(iv)any statutory share exchange, in each case, as a result of which the Parent Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Bonds shall be changed, to the extent permissible under applicable law, into a right to exchange such principal amount of Bonds into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Parent Shares equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Parent Share is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 9.01 providing for such change in the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Bonds.

If the Share Exchange Event causes the Parent Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Bonds will be exchangeable shall be deemed to be (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Parent Shares that affirmatively make such an election or (y) if no holders of Parent Shares affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Parent Shares, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one Parent Share.  The Parent shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

To the extent that the Bonds become exchangeable into the right to receive cash pursuant to this Section 11.07, interest will not accrue on such cash.

Such supplemental indenture described in the third immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 11.  If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the Parent or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange

​

​ 61 ​

​

​

Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Bonds as the Parent’s Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 12.

(b)When the Company and the Parent executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 11.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders.  The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c)Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 11.07.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Bonds to exchange its Bonds into Parent Shares, as set forth in Section 11.01 and Section 11.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.

(d)The above provisions of this Section 11.07 shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.

Section 11.08Certain Covenants.

(a)The Parent covenants that all Parent Shares issued upon exchange of Bonds will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Parent and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b)The Parent covenants that, if any Parent Shares to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Bonds hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such Parent Shares may be validly issued upon exchange, the Parent will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c)The Parent further covenants that if at any time the Parent Shares shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Parent will list and keep listed, so long as the Parent Shares shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Parent Shares issuable upon exchange of the Bonds.

Section 11.09Responsibility of Trustee.  The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.  The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Parent Shares, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Bond; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company or the Parent to issue, transfer or deliver any Parent Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Bond for the purpose of an exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company or any Guarantor contained in this Article 11.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the

​

​ 62 ​

​

​

correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 11.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the exchange of their Bonds after any event referred to in such Section 11.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall have any obligation to independently determine or verify if any Fundamental Change, Tax Event, Trigger Event, Share Exchange Event or any other event has occurred or notify the Holders of any such event. The parties hereto agree that all notices to the Trustee or the Exchange Agent under this Article 11 shall be in writing and may be given by email.

Section 11.10Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  In case of any:

(a)action by the Parent or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 or Section 11.11;

(b)Share Exchange Event; or

(c)voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company or the Guarantors shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by such Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Parent Shares of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by such Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Parent Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Parent Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by any Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 11.11Stockholder Rights Plans.  If the Parent has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon exchange of the Bonds, each Parent Share, if any, issued upon such exchange shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Parent Shares issued upon such exchange shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time.  However, if, prior to any exchange of Bonds, the rights have separated from the Parent Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Parent distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Parent Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 11.05(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.  For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Rate in connection with a dividend or distribution in respect of a stockholder rights plan except as set forth in this Section 11.11.

Section 11.12Parent Shares.  The Parent shall not take any action that would cause the number of Parent Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Bonds to exceed the number of Parent Shares authorized by the Parent’s shareholders to be issued and allotted by the Parent’s Board of Directors, and not previously used by the Parent’s Board of Directors, and/or held by the Company or its Subsidiaries in treasury.  In the event of any deemed distribution (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) resulting from an adjustment to the

​

​ 63 ​

​

​

Exchange Rate, the Company will comply with its obligations to report the deemed distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  In accordance with the foregoing, the Company may post a copy of Internal Revenue Service Form 8937 on its website in a timely manner.

Article 12​

to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 12.  A “Tax Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if, at any time after the Bonds are originally issued, (x) the Company reasonably determines that:

(A)as a result of (I) any change in or amendment to the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or (II) any change in the official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after (1) the Issue Date, in the case of the Cayman Islands or Switzerland, or (2) the date such jurisdiction becomes a Taxing Jurisdiction, in the case of any other Taxing Jurisdiction, the Company, any Guarantor or such successor, as applicable, have or will become obligated to pay, on the next succeeding date on which interest is due, Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.13 with respect to any Bonds; or

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(4) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Bond has not yet been issued, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate

​

​ A-3 ​

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Company shall pay interest on the Bonds (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Bonds at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if such Bonds are canceled after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date.  Holders must surrender Bonds to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect of the Bonds represented by a Global Bond (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository.  The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Bond (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Bond of not less than $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. BOND REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND EXCHANGE AGENT.  Initially, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Bond Registrar, Paying Agent and Exchange Agent.  The Company may appoint and change any Bond Registrar or co-registrar, Paying Agent or Exchange Agent without notice.  The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned Subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of America may act as Bond Registrar or co-registrar, Paying Agent or Exchange Agent.

9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of this Bond may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PARENT SHARES.  If any money or Parent Shares for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money or Parent Shares back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money or Parent Shares must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

11. DISCHARGE.  Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Bonds and the Indenture with respect to the Bonds if the Company deposits with the Trustee money for the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

12. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, or the Bonds may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Bonds, regardless of whether the solicitation of consents and such repurchase is made from, or such tender or exchange offer is made to, all or any number of Holders of then Outstanding Bonds), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Bonds may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Bonds, regardless of whether the solicitation of consents and such repurchase is made from, or such tender or exchange offer is made to, all or any number of Holders of then Outstanding Bonds).  Without the consent of any Holder of Bonds, the Indenture, or the Bonds may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  The Events of Default relating to the Bonds are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

14. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Bonds or the Indenture with respect to the Bonds or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Bond, each Holder waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Bonds.
