“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs:
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, or, if published, no longer contains the yields for nominal Treasury constant maturities, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one or more with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one or more with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices of such United States Treasury security (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.
The terms “Company,” “Issuer,” “Trustee,” “Base Indenture,” and “Indenture” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the recitals to this Supplemental Indenture and the paragraph preceding such recitals.
Section 103.    Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal of the Notes shall be due at the Stated Maturity (unless earlier redeemed). The unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.600% per annum, until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal or on a redemption date as provided herein will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of
3


business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee (in accordance with Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Base Indenture.
Payments of interest on the Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.
Payment of the principal and interest on the Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, with any such payment that is due at the Stated Maturity of any Notes, upon redemption or repurchase being made upon surrender of such Notes to the Paying Agent. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as such place and account may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the next scheduled date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. In the event that any date on which principal and interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal and interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.
Section 104.    Denominations. The Notes may be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000, or any greater integral multiple of $1,000.
Section 105.    Global Securities. The Notes offered and sold will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company, or the “Depositary”) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Notes represented by such Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Notes in definitive form registered in names other than the Depositary or its nominee. The Global Securities may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.
Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee or except as described below. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary.
A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee (including notes issued in definitive form) only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after it becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion, and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, in which case Notes in definitive form will be printed and delivered to the Depositary, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Global Security that is exchangeable
4


pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.
The rules and procedures of DTC will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities and the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear”, and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream, will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities that are held by members of, or direct or indirect participants in the Depositary (“Participant”), holding such interests through Euroclear or Clearstream.
Section 106.    Redemption. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(i)    (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of the Notes being redeemed and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes being redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 40 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date; and
(ii)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures or, for the avoidance of doubt, such shorter period as is specified solely in respect of a Special Mandatory Redemption) at least ten (10) days but not more than sixty (60) days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. The notice of redemption for the Notes will (other than in respect of a Special Mandatory Redemption, notice of which shall be provided in accordance with Section 107 below) be provided in accordance with Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture and will state the information required under Section 4.03(c) of the Base Indenture.
In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by the Depositary (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Notice of any optional redemption of the Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given in connection with a debt or equity offering or incurrence or other transaction (or series of related transactions), Change of Control or other event and prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related debt or equity offering, incurrence, transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than sixty (60) days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any
5


or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if the Company reasonably believes that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price on any redemption date shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or verify the Company’s determination of the redemption price or the Treasury Rate.

The Company may, subject to compliance with applicable law, at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.
Section 107.    Special Mandatory Redemption. In the event that (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to December 29, 2024 (or such later date to which the Share Purchase Agreement may be extended in accordance with its terms, any such extension to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the close of business on December 29, 2024 or such other extended termination date as shall be then applicable), (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition or (iii) the Share Purchase Agreement has been terminated without the consummation of the Acquisition (each, a “special mandatory redemption event”), the Company will be required to redeem the Notes in whole (a “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a special mandatory redemption price (the “special mandatory redemption price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes from and including the Original Issue Date, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid on such series of Notes, whichever is later, to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date (as defined below). Upon the occurrence of a special mandatory redemption event, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than 10 business days following such special mandatory redemption event) cause written notice to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at its registered address (such date of notification to the Holders, the “redemption notice date”). The notice will inform Holders that the Notes will be redeemed on the third business day following the redemption notice date (such date, the “special mandatory redemption date”) and that all of the outstanding Notes will be redeemed at the special mandatory redemption price on the special mandatory redemption date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes. At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the special mandatory redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price for the Notes. If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the special mandatory redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the special mandatory redemption date will be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates in accordance with the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture.
Section 108.    Paying Agent; Registrar. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to the Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being the Corporate Trust Office. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to Holders of the Notes, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall act solely as an agent of the Company and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder.
Section 109.    Ranking. The Notes will be the Company’s senior unsecured indebtedness and will rank equally with each other and with all of its other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
Section 110.Events of Default. The term “Event of Default” as used in this Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes shall mean one of the following described events:
6


(i)    any events described in Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(ii)    a failure by the Company to redeem the Notes following the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption as required under Section 107 above.

Section 202.    Preservation of Information. The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) in accordance with its customary policy, and the Company will have the right to request copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.
Section 203.    Indemnification; No Obligation of Trustee.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any registrations of transfer or exchange of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

REVERSE OF NOTE
CONCENTRIX CORPORATION
6.600% Senior Note Due 2028
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 2, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and supplemented, including by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 2, 2023 (the Base Indenture as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company and the Trustee, to which the Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 6.600% Senior Notes due 2028 of the Company, in an original aggregate principal amount of $800,000,000; provided, however, that the Company, without notice to or consent of the Holders, may issue additional Securities of this series and thereby increase such principal amount in the future, on the same terms and conditions (except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the date from which interest accrues and the first Interest Payment Date). Any additional Securities shall be issued under a separate CUSIP number unless: (i) the additional notes and the outstanding notes of the original series are treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) such additional notes have no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (iii) such issuance would constitute a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, on overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by this Note. If a payment date is not a Business Day as defined in the Indenture at a Place of Payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the 6.600% Senior Notes due 2028 shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof and the interest accrued hereon, if any, may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions that provide that the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental thereto for the purpose of amending any provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected by such amendment voting separately; provided that, without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each series affected thereby, an amendment may not: (a) reduce the principal amount of such Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment or for any waiver of compliance with or Defaults under, the Indenture and consequences of such defaults; (b) reduce the interest rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security (other than any change to the notice periods with respect to any redemption); (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security; (d) waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premium or interest (except pursuant to a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Securities outstanding and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (e) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Security or change the time at which any Security may be redeemed or repurchased, in each case as set forth in the applicable supplemental indenture and in Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture (other than any change to the notice periods with respect to such redemption); (f) change the currency in which the principal amount of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any outstanding Security is denominated or payable; (g) impair the
Exhibit A-5
4887-7254-7177.v7


right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities; (h) reduce the percentage of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of a series necessary to modify or amend the Indenture or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture; or (i) modify any of the amendment and waiver provisions or any provisions of Section 6.06 or Section 14.02 of the Base Indenture relating to the waiver of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Securities, except to increase the required percentage to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of all of the Holders of the Securities affected thereby.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except a Default in the payment of interest or any premium on, or the principal of, the Securities of such series or a Default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in the manner, at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
The Notes will be issued initially in fully registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and are transferable and exchangeable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
Prior to the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(i)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of the Notes being redeemed and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes being redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 40 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date; and
(ii)100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. 
“Par Call Date” means July 2, 2028.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs:
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the
Exhibit A-6



Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, or, if published, no longer contains the yields for nominal Treasury constant maturities, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one or more with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one or more with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices of such United States Treasury security (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time.
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price on any redemption date shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or verify the Company’s determination of the redemption price or the Treasury Rate.
In the event that (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to December 29, 2024 (or such later date to which the Share Purchase Agreement may be extended in accordance with its terms, any such extension to be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the close of business on December 29, 2024 or such other extended termination date as shall be then applicable), (ii) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition or (iii) the Share Purchase Agreement has been terminated without the consummation of the Acquisition (each, a “special mandatory redemption event”), the Company will be required to redeem the Notes in whole at a special mandatory redemption price (the “special mandatory redemption price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes from and including the Original Issue Date, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid on such series of Notes, whichever is later, to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date (as defined below). Upon the occurrence of a special mandatory redemption event, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than 10 business days following such special mandatory redemption event) cause written notice to be delivered electronically or mailed, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder at its registered address (such date of notification to the Holders, the “redemption notice date”). The notice will inform Holders that the Notes will be redeemed on the third
Exhibit A-7



business day following the redemption notice date (such date, the “special mandatory redemption date”) and that all of the outstanding Notes will be redeemed at the special mandatory redemption price on the special mandatory redemption date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of the Notes. At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the special mandatory redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the special mandatory redemption price for the Notes. If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the special mandatory redemption date.
The Company may, subject to compliance with applicable law, at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and, subject to the provisions hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of any Indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any penalty or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.
Terms used herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. Except as permitted by Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture, if and to the extent that any provision of this Note limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Indenture, such provision of the Indenture shall control.
The laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof) shall govern this Note.
