plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. On or after February 15, 2025, the Series A Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time and at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Series A Senior Notes then Outstanding to be so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Series Trustee and offered the Series Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Series Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Series A Senior Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Series A Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Series A Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Series A Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
