(iii) Delivery of Existing Notes and Exchange Consideration.

(1) DWAC Withdrawal. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent specified in this Exchange Agreement, at or prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, the Investor agrees to direct the eligible DTC participant through which each Exchanging Investor holds a beneficial interest in the Existing Notes to submit a DWAC withdrawal instruction (the “DWAC Withdrawal”) to the Existing Notes U.S. Trustee for the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes to be exchanged by such Exchanging Investor pursuant to this Exchange Agreement.

(2) Delivery of Exchange Consideration. The Cash Consideration will not be paid nor will the Exchange Shares be delivered until a valid DWAC Withdrawal of the Existing Notes has been received and accepted by the Existing Notes U.S. Trustee. If the Closing does not occur, then any Existing Notes submitted for DWAC Withdrawal will be returned to the DTC participant that submitted the DWAC Withdrawal instruction in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

(3) Acknowledgment of DWAC Posting Expiration; Delivery Instructions. Each of the Investor and each other Exchanging Investor, if any, acknowledges that the DWAC Withdrawal must be posted on the Closing Date and that if it is posted before the Closing Date, then it will expire unaccepted and must be resubmitted on the Closing Date.

(4) Other Exchanges. Each of the Investor and each other Exchanging Investor, if any, acknowledges that other investors are participating in similar exchanges, each of which contemplates a DWAC Withdrawal. The Company intends to complete the issuance of the Exchange Shares concurrently for all investors who have submitted valid DWAC Withdrawals by the deadline set forth above. In the event that the Investor complies with the deadline set forth above for the DWAC Withdrawal and other investors do not, the Company will still deliver the Exchange Shares to the Investor on the Closing Date.

(5) Delay of Closings. If (A) the Existing Notes U.S. Trustee is unable to locate the DWAC Withdrawal; or (B) such DWAC Withdrawal does not conform to the Existing Notes to be exchanged in the Exchange, then the Company will promptly notify the Investor. If, because of the occurrence of an event described in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence, the Cash Consideration or Exchange Shares are not paid or delivered, as applicable, on the Closing Date, then such Cash Consideration or Exchange Shares, as applicable, will be paid or delivered, as applicable, on the first Business Day following the Closing Date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) on which all applicable conditions set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this paragraph have been cured. If the event described in clause (A) occurs, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly cure such deficiency, including by coordinating with the Existing Notes U.S. Trustee, in order to avoid any delays in payment of the Cash Consideration and/or delivery of the Exchange Shares.

(iv) Questions as to Form. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Existing Notes will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, which determination will be final and binding.

Each Exchanging Investor is acquiring the Exchange Shares solely for such Exchanging Investor’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Exchange Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that the offer and sale of the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors and the accuracy of the other representations made by the Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, in this Exchange Agreement. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that the Company and its affiliates and agents (including HudsonWest) are relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Exchange Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether the Exchange meets the requirements for such exemptions. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors further acknowledges that (i) the Company is an issuer of the type referred to in Rule 144(i); (ii) the Exchange Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 if, at the time of such resale, the Company has not filed all reports and other materials (other than Form 8-K reports) required to be filed by it pursuant to §13 or §15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as applicable, during the preceding 12 months; and (iii) the Exchange Shares, upon their initial issuance, will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and, accordingly, will not be eligible to be delivered to close any physical short position established in connection with any public short sale of Common Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any short sale effected on the Nasdaq Global Select Market).

(j) Information Provided. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation concerning the Company or the Exchange other than as contained in this Exchange Agreement and the Covered SEC Filings, and HudsonWest has not given any such information or made any such representation to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor. The Company takes no responsibility for, and provides no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.

(k) No Investment, Tax or Other Advice. The Investor confirms that it and each Exchanging Investor is not relying on any statement (written or oral), representation or warranty made by, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its affiliates as investment, tax or other advice or as a recommendation to participate in the Exchange and receive the Exchange Consideration in exchange for Existing Notes. None of the Company, any of its affiliates or HudsonWest is acting or has acted as an advisor to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor in deciding whether to participate in the Exchange and to exchange Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration.

(l) Investment Decision Matters. The Investor confirms that none of the Company, any of its affiliates or HudsonWest has (i) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Exchange Shares; or (ii) made any representation to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor regarding the legality of an investment in the Exchange Shares under applicable investment guidelines, laws or regulations. In deciding to participate in the Exchange, each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company, its affiliates or HudsonWest, and has made its own independent decision that the terms of the Exchange and the investment in the Exchange Shares are suitable and appropriate for it.

(m) Due Diligence. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had the opportunity to conduct its own investigation of the Company and the Exchange Shares. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has had access to and reviewed the Covered SEC Filings and such other information concerning the Company and the Exchange Shares it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers thereto, as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange.

(n) No Regulatory Agency Recommendation or Approval. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Exchange Shares or made any recommendation or endorsement, or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability, of such investment or the consequences of the Exchange or this Exchange Agreement.

(o) Qualified Institutional Buyer Status. Each Exchanging Investor and each account for which it is acting is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Exchange.

(p) Mutual Negotiation. The Investor acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been mutually negotiated between the Investor and the Company. The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Exchange. The Investor had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Exchange, and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or agents (including HudsonWest), has placed any pressure on the Investor to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Exchange. The Investor’s and each Exchanging Investor’s participation in the Exchange was not conditioned by the Company on the Investor or any Exchanging Investor’s exchange of a minimum principal amount of Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration.

(q) Additional Documentation. The Investor will, upon request, execute and deliver, for itself and on behalf of any Exchanging Investor, any additional documents that the Company, the Existing Notes U.S. Trustee or the Transfer Agent may reasonably request to complete the Exchange.

(r) Bring-Down of Representations and Warranties. The Investor understands that, unless the Investor notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at or before each Closing, each of the Investor’s representations and warranties, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor, contained in this Exchange Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of Closing, taking into account all information received by the Investor and each Exchanging Investor.

(s) Wall-Cross Matters. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it and each Exchanging Investor has not transacted, and will not transact, in any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any hedging transactions, from the time the Investor was first contacted by the Company or HudsonWest with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement until after the Disclosure Time. Solely for purposes of this section, subject to the Investor’s compliance with its obligations under U.S. federal securities laws and the Investor’s internal policies, (i) “Investor” will not include any employees or affiliates of the Investor that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Fire Wall” information barriers approved by the Investor’s legal or compliance department, and (ii) the foregoing representations and covenants of this section will not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of an account that was effected without the advice or participation of, or such account’s receipt of information regarding the transactions contemplated hereby provided by, the Investor.

The Investor further acknowledges that, if an Exchanging Investor is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company must be provided with the appropriate properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8, attesting to that non-U.S. Exchanging Investor’s foreign status and certain other information, including information establishing an exemption from withholding under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code. The Investor further acknowledges that any Exchanging Investor may be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding or 24% U.S. federal backup withholding on certain payments or deliveries made to such Exchanging Investor unless such Exchanging Investor properly establishes an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such withholding or backup withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Exchanging Investor hereby represents that it is able to receive any Exchange Consideration hereunder (including any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest) without any U.S. withholding tax and is entitled to provide U.S. tax forms and required attachments indicating the same (including, where relevant, any certifications indicating that the Exchanging Investor fulfills the requirements of “portfolio interest exemption” as indicated in Exhibit B) and agrees to hold the Company and its agents harmless for the breach of such representation.

(b) Excluded Obligation. For purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), and for greater certainty, the Existing Notes are an “excluded obligation” as defined in subsection 214(8) of the Tax Act.

(c) Withholding Tax. The Company and each Exchanging Investor acknowledge that all payments or deliveries in connection with the Exchange made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Exchange Consideration are required to be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada, any province or territory of Canada or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, unless such person is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by applicable law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If any Taxes are required by applicable law to be deducted and withheld in connection with the Exchange Consideration hereunder, the Company shall within the time period for payment required by applicable law, pay to the appropriate governmental body the full amount of such Taxes, and make such reports and filings in connection therewith in the manner required. Where the Company deducts or withholds any amount of Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as contemplated herein, the Company shall be considered for all purposes hereof to have satisfied its obligation to make such amount of the payment and the amount so deducted or withheld shall be deemed to have been paid (or issued) to such Exchanging Investor hereunder, provided that the Company complies with its obligations to pay such amount to the applicable government authority within the time required.

EXHIBIT B

Tax Matters

Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Exchanging Investor who exchanges Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration generally must provide such Exchanging Investor’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 (attached hereto) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or an Exchanging Investor’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the Exchanging Investor may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently set at 24% of the payment). If an Exchanging Investor is required to provide a TIN but does not have the TIN, the Exchanging Investor should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Non-U.S. Holders generally may establish their status as exempt recipients from backup withholding by submitting a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or the IRS at www.irs.gov), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Exchanging Investor’s exempt foreign status. U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. the Exchanging Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

Portfolio Interest Exemption (for Exchanging Investors That Are Not U.S. Persons for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes)

Under U.S. federal income tax law, an Exchanging Investor that exchanges Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration and is otherwise not eligible to provide an IRS Form W-9 must claim an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments or deliveries attributable to accrued and unpaid interest. Any Exchanging Investor that claims such an exemption under the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” is hereby deemed to represent and certify (along with the providing the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). However, If the Exchanging Investor is an intermediary, a foreign partnership or other flow-through entity, then the following adjustments will be made:
