9. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Notes.
10.

12. Upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Such offer will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus Supplement.
