Item 8.01 Other Information.

On April 14, 2022, in accordance with previously disclosed scheme of arrangement of Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to section 86 of Part IV of the Companies Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the Restructuring Support Agreement, between the Company and the noteholders party thereto (the “RSA”), the Restructuring Effective Date (as defined in the RSA) has occurred, and the Company canceled the Company’s 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) and exchanged the Notes for the Company’s 6.625%/7.25% Senior Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes have an interest rate of 6.625% per annum, if paid in cash, and 7.25% per annum, if paid in kind (“PIK”). As a result of the PIK feature, the New Notes were issued in denominations of $1 and each holder of a Note received, for each Note exchanged, New Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $25 plus the accrued but unpaid interest related to the exchanged Note.

The terms of the New Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of April 26, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of April 26, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and a Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of April 14, 2022 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

The foregoing descriptions of the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture and the New Notes in this Current Report on Form 8-K do not purport to be complete, are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

On April 14, 2022, the RSA was terminated pursuant to its terms, by virtue of the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date.

The Company expects that the ticker symbol of its ordinary voting common shares, which continue to be traded on the OTC Markets system, will be changed to “AFHIF,” following the closure of the previously disclosed chapter 15 proceeding, which the Company expects to occur in the near future. Effective April 18, 2022, the New Notes are traded on the OTC Bond Market.

2 WHEREAS, all requirements necessary to make this Second Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument in accordance with its terms and to make the 2027 Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company, have been done and performed, and the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized in all respects; and NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the cancellation of the 2017 Notes and the issuance of the 2027 Notes to the holders of the 2017 Notes, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided in the Indenture, the form and substance of the 2027 Notes, and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I 2027 NOTES SECTION 1.01 Definitions.

SECTION 1.02 Establishment of 2027 Notes. (a) In accordance with the Scheme and the Recognition Order, the 2017 Notes, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Original Indenture, are to be canceled and the holders thereof to be issued the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes shall hereinafter be designated as the Company’s 6.625%/7.25% Senior Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027. (b) There are to be issued, authenticated and delivered to the holders of the 2017 Notes the 2027 Notes, in the exchange ratio and as further provided in Section 2.01 hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $26,639,856.00, and no further 2027 Notes shall be authenticated and delivered except as provided by Sections 2.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.10 or 11.04 of the Original Indenture and this Second Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes may be increased in the future with no limit, without the consent of the holders of the 2027 Notes, on the same terms and with the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the 2027 Notes, except for the Original Issue Date and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date, provided that no Event of Default with respect to the 2027 Notes shall have occurred and be continuing. In connection with any PIK Payment, the Company is entitled to, without the consent of the holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under the Indenture including Section 1.10(d) of this Second Supplemental Indenture) to increase the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes or to issue PIK Interest Notes under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the 2027 Notes. Additionally, on the Original Issue Date, the Company is entitled to, without the consent of the holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under the Indenture including Section 1.10(d) of this Second Supplemental Indenture) to increase the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes to capitalize into the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes all or a portion of the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes. The 2027 Notes shall be in fully registered form. Following the issuance of the 2027 Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes beneficially held by Broadbill Partners (expected to be approximately $5,151,675 in principal amount plus capitalized interest in the amount of $337,920) shall be exchanged for notes in definitive form that bear the Affiliate Holder Legend (the “Affiliate Holder Notes”). (c) The 2027 Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, registered in the name of the Depositary (as defined below) or its nominee. Each Global Security and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication


 
4 thereof, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (including the applicable legend(s) thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security” attached thereto). 2027 Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security” attached thereto). Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding 2027 Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security” attached thereto, and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges, redemptions and the payment of PIK Interest as provided in Section 1.03 of this Second Supplemental Indenture or capitalization of all or any portion of any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes into principal at the Original Issue Date. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with written instructions given by the Company as required by Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture, written instructions as required by Section 1.06 hereof or written instructions by the Company in connection with a PIK Payment as described in Section 1.03 of this Second Supplemental Indenture or capitalization of all or a portion of any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes into principal at the Original Issue Date. The depositary with respect to the 2027 Notes issued in the form of a Global Security shall be The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”). (d) Each 2027 Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. SECTION 1.03 Payment of Principal and Interest. (a) The principal of the 2027 Notes shall be due at Stated Maturity. The unpaid principal amount of the 2027 Notes shall bear interest at the rates per year described in clause (b) below until paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be paid or compounded quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing July 27, 2022, to the Person in whose name the 2027 Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity or upon redemption 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 be paid as provided in Section 3.08 of the Original Indenture. (b) Payments of interest on the 2027 Notes will include interest accrued from the most recent date to which interest has been paid (or the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid) to, but excluding, the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the 2027 Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest will be payable as follows: (a) Cash Interest on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.625% per annum and (b) any PIK Interest on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 7.25% per annum. No fractional amounts will be paid. The payment of interest on the 2027 Notes in cash is referred to herein as “Cash Interest”; payment of interest on the 2027 Notes through an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding 2027 Notes or through the issuance of PIK Interest Notes as described below is herein referred to as “PIK Interest”. The Company has determined to pay PIK Interest on the first Interest Payment Date on July 27, 2022. In the event that the Company determines to pay PIK Interest for any Interest Period ending thereafter or prior to April 27, 2024, then the Company will deliver a notice (a “PIK Notice”) to the Trustee no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period, which notice will state the total amount of interest to be paid on the Interest Payment Date in respect of such Interest Period and the amount of such interest to be paid as PIK Interest. The Company shall promptly deliver the PIK Notice to the holders or may request the Trustee deliver such notice to the holders on the Company’s behalf (which notice to the holders may be given through the Depositary). For the avoidance of doubt, interest on the 2027 Notes in respect of any Interest Period for which a PIK Notice is not delivered following the first Interest Payment Date must be paid entirely as Cash Interest. PIK Interest will be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee has received (i) an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Base Indenture, from the Company to increase the balance of any Global Security to reflect such PIK Interest or (ii) PIK Interest Notes duly executed by the Company together with an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Base Indenture, of the Company requesting the authentication of such PIK Interest Notes by the Trustee. On any Interest Payment Date on which the Company pays PIK Interest (a “PIK Payment”), with respect to a Global Security, the Trustee will increase the principal amount of such Global Security by an amount equal to the PIK Interest payable, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar, for the relevant Interest Period on the principal amount of such Global Security, to the credit of the holders on the relevant Regular Record Date and an adjustment will be


 
5 made on the books and records of the Trustee with respect to such Global Security to reflect such increase. On any Interest Payment Date on which the Company makes a PIK Payment by issuing definitive 2027 Notes (a “PIK Interest Note”) under this Indenture having the same terms as the 2027 Notes, the principal amount of any such PIK Interest Note issued to any holder, for the relevant Interest Period as of the relevant Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. In connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the 2027 Notes, the Company will, without the consent of holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Section 1.10(d) of this Second Supplemental Indenture), either increase the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes or issue PIK Interest Notes under this Indenture. PIK Notes will be issued in definitive form solely if the 2027 Notes are in definitive form; any PIK Notes issued in definitive form will be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Securities as a result of a PIK Payment, the 2027 Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Interest for the last Interest Period ending at Stated Maturity shall be payable entirely in cash. (c) In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the 2027 Notes is not a Business Day (including the Redemption Date), then a 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 other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. (d) The Trustee is hereby designated as Paying Agent for the 2027 Notes and all payments of the principal of and interest due on the 2027 Notes at the Stated Maturity or upon redemption will be made upon surrender of the 2027 Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the United States. (e) The principal of and interest due on the 2027 Notes shall be paid 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. Payments of Cash Interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable and subject, in the case of a Global Security, to the Trustee’s arrangements with the Depositary, 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 Debt Security Register, or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States of America as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. SECTION 1.04 Denominations. The 2027 Notes may be issued in minimum denominations of $1.00, or any integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. SECTION 1.05 Global Securities. (a) Except under the limited circumstances described below, 2027 Notes represented by Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, 2027 Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above 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. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Second Supplemental Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in such Global Securities will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a 2027 Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. The rights of holders of such Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depositary. (c) A Global Security shall be exchangeable in whole or, from time to time, in part for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form only as provided in the Indenture. If (i) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the 2027 Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing as a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the


 
6 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, at such time as the Depositary is required to be so registered and the Depositary so notifies the Company and, in each case, the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (ii) subject to the procedures of the Depositary, the Company in its sole discretion determines that the 2027 Notes shall be exchangeable for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form and executes and, in each case, delivers to the Security Registrar a written order of the Company providing that the 2027 Notes shall be so exchangeable, the 2027 Notes shall be exchangeable for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form, provided that definitive 2027 Notes so issued in exchange for the 2027 Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00, or any integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the 2027 Notes to be exchanged. Except as provided herein, owners of beneficial interests in the 2027 Notes will not be entitled to have 2027 Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to physical delivery of 2027 Notes in definitive registered form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any of their agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the 2027 Notes, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 1.05(c) shall be exchangeable for 2027 Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. SECTION 1.06 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. Beneficial interests in any Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the rules and procedures of the Depositary that apply to such transfer or exchange. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 1.06(a) except as provided in clause (b) below. (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security for Beneficial Interests in a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security or an Affiliate Holder Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Affiliate Holder Note or Affiliate Holder Global Security may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security or an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Non- Affiliate Holder Global Security or an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of this Section 1.06(b): (A) the Security Registrar receives the following: (1) if the holder of such beneficial interest proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto; or (2) if the holder of such beneficial interest proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security or an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto; and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (A), if the Security Registrar or the Company so requests or if the applicable procedures of the Depositary so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar or the Company stating that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and, if applicable, that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Affiliate Holder Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act; or (B) such transfer is effected pursuant to an automatic exchange in accordance with Section 1.06(c) of this Indenture or in connection with the exchange of Notes with Broadbill Partners for the Affiliate Holder Notes in the amount of $5,489,595. If any such transfer is effected at a time when a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security


 
7 is not outstanding, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Non-Affiliate Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests so transferred. Beneficial interests in a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to, Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security. (c) Automatic Exchange from Affiliate Holder Note or Affiliate Holder Global Security to Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security. At the option of the Company and upon compliance with the following procedures, beneficial interests in an Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Non- Affiliate Holder Global Security. In order to effect such exchange, the Company shall (i) provide written notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary to transfer the specified amount of the outstanding beneficial interests in the Affiliate Holder Note or an Affiliate Holder Global Security to a Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security and provide the Depositary with all such information as is necessary for the Depositary to appropriately credit and debit the relevant Holder accounts and (ii) provide prior written notice to all Holders of such exchange, which notice must include the date such exchange is proposed to occur, the CUSIP number of the Affiliate Holder Note or the Affiliate Holder Global Security, if any, and the CUSIP number of the Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security into which such Holders' beneficial interests will be exchanged. As a condition to any such exchange pursuant to this Section 1.06(c), the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and rely upon conclusively without any liability, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may request from Holders such information it reasonably determines is required in order to be able to deliver such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 1.06(c), the Securities Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the Affiliate Holder Note or Affiliate Holder Global Security and the Non-Affiliate Holder Global Security, respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. Following any such transfer pursuant to this Section 1.06(c) of all of the outstanding principal amount of an Affiliate Holder Note or the beneficial interests in an Affiliate Holder Global Security, such Affiliate Holder Note or Affiliate Holder Global Security, as the case may be, shall be cancelled. (d) Legends. The following legends will appear on the face of all Global Securities and definitive 2027 Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.07 Amendment of Section 8.06 of the Base Indenture. Section 8.06 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows: “Section 8.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment and arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, including the acceptance or administration of this trust, or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the current payment of all costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Debt Securities. In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this indenture or available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.” SECTION 3.08 Amendment of Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture.

A-2 No. [ ]-[●] ATLAS FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Global Certificate initially representing $26,639,856 aggregate principal amount of 6.625%/7.25% Senior Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 [APPROPRIATE MODIFICATIONS MAY BE MADE FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM] Registered Owner: [ ] Regular Record Date: With respect to each Interest Payment Date, the close of business on the preceding January 12, April 12, July 12 and October 12, as the case may be (whether or not a Business Day). Original Issue Date: [ ] Stated Maturity: April 27, 2027 Interest Payment Dates: January 27, April 27, July 27 and October 27 of each year, commencing July 27, 2022 Interest Rate: 6.625%/7.25% per year Authorized Denomination: $1.00, or any integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof This Global Certificate is in respect of a duly authorized issue of 6.625%/7.25% Senior Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) of Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted limited liability company (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof). The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the amount of principal of the 2027 Notes represented by this Global Certificate on the Stated Maturity shown above, and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date as specified above, commencing July 27, 2022, and on the Stated Maturity. Interest will be payable as follows: (a) Cash Interest (as defined below) on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.625% per annum and (b) any PIK Interest (as defined below) on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 7.25% per annum and be payable (x) with respect to 2027 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of, or held by, DTC or its nominee on the relevant Regular Record Date (as defined below), by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Security by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (as defined below) (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar) and (y) with respect to 2027 Notes represented by definitive notes, by issuing PIK Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Company, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in definitive form for original issuance to the holders on the relevant Regular Record Date, as shown by the records of the register of holders. No fractional amounts will be paid. The payment of interest on the 2027 Notes in cash is referred to herein as “Cash Interest”); payment of interest on the 2027 Notes through an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding 2027 Notes or through the issuance of PIK Notes as described in the prior sentence is herein referred to as “PIK Interest”. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Securities as a result of a PIK Payment, the 2027 Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. PIK Notes will be issued in definitive form solely if the 2027 Notes are in definitive form; any PIK Notes issued in definitive form will be dated as of the Original Issue Date thereof and will bear interest from and after such date. All 2027 Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on the Stated Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the 2027 Notes issued on the Original Issue


 
A-3 Date. Interest will be paid on the 2027 Notes until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest at such rate to the extent permitted by law. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date) will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 2027 Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that any interest payable at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date 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 be paid as provided in Section 3.08 of the Original Indenture. The Company has determined to pay PIK Interest on the first Interest Payment Date on July 27, 2022. In the event that the Company determines to pay PIK Interest for any Interest Period ending thereafter or prior to April 27, 2024, the Company will deliver a notice (a “PIK Notice”) to the Trustee no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period, which notice will state the total amount of interest to be paid on the Interest Payment Date in respect of such Interest Period and the amount of such interest to be paid as PIK Interest. The Company shall promptly deliver the PIK Notice to the holders or may request the Trustee deliver such notice to the holders on the Company’s behalf (which notice to the holders of beneficial interests in a Global Security may be given through the Depositary). For the avoidance of doubt, interest on the 2027 Notes in respect of any Interest Period following the first Interest Payment Date for which a PIK Notice is not delivered must be paid entirely as Cash Interest. Interest for the last Interest Period ending at Stated Maturity shall be payable entirely in cash. The 2027 Notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 2027 Notes will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Company. “Interest Period” shall mean the period commencing on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, with the exception that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include the Original Issue Date and end on July 26, 2022 (the Interest Payment Date for any Interest Period shall be the Interest Payment Date occurring on the day immediately following the last day of such Interest Period). Payments of interest on this 2027 Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates.

Interest will be payable as follows: (a) Cash Interest (as defined below) on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.625% per annum and (b) any PIK Interest (as defined below) on the 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 7.25% per annum and be payable (x) with respect to 2027 Notes represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of, or held by, DTC or its nominee on the relevant Regular Record Date (as defined below), by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Security by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (as defined below) (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar) and (y) with respect to 2027 Notes represented by definitive notes, by issuing PIK Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable Interest Period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Company, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in definitive form for original issuance to the holders on the relevant Regular Record Date, as shown by the records of the register of holders. No fractional amounts will be paid. The payment of interest on the 2027 Notes in cash is referred to herein as “Cash Interest”); payment of interest on the 2027 Notes through an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding 2027 Notes or through the issuance of PIK Notes as described in the prior sentence is herein referred to as “PIK




Interest”. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Securities as a result of a PIK Payment, the 2027 Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. PIK Notes will be issued in definitive form solely if the 2027 Notes are in definitive form; any PIK Notes issued in definitive form will be dated as of the Original Issue Date thereof and will bear interest from and after such date. All 2027 Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will mature on the Stated Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the 2027 Notes issued on the Original Issue Date. Interest will be paid on the 2027 Notes until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest at such rate to the extent permitted by law. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date) will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 2027 Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that any interest payable at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date 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 be paid as provided in Section 3.08 of the Original Indenture.

The Company has determined to pay PIK Interest on the first Interest Payment Date on July 27, 2022. In the event that the Company determines to pay PIK Interest for any Interest Period ending thereafter or prior to April 27, 2024, the Company will deliver a notice (a “PIK Notice”) to the Trustee no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period, which notice will state the total amount of interest to be paid on the Interest Payment Date in respect of such Interest Period and the amount of such interest to be paid as PIK Interest. The Company shall promptly deliver the PIK Notice to the holders or may request the Trustee deliver such notice to the holders on the Company’s behalf (which notice to the holders of beneficial interests in a Global Security may be given through the Depositary). For the avoidance of doubt, interest on the 2027 Notes in respect of any Interest Period following the first Interest Payment Date for which a PIK Notice is not delivered must be paid entirely as Cash Interest. Interest for the last Interest Period ending at Stated Maturity shall be payable entirely in cash. The 2027 Notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 2027 Notes will rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Interest Period” shall mean the period commencing on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, with the exception that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include the Original Issue Date and end on July 26, 2022 (the Interest Payment Date for any Interest Period shall be the Interest Payment Date occurring on the day immediately following the last day of such Interest Period). Payments of interest on this 2027 Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this 2027 Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this 2027 Note is not a Business Day (including the Redemption Date), 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 other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

Payment of the principal of and interest due on this 2027 Note at the Stated Maturity or upon redemption will be made upon surrender of this 2027 Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the United States. The principal of and Cash Interest due on this 2027 Note shall be paid 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. Payment of Cash Interest will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable and subject to the Trustee’s arrangements with the Depositary, 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 Debt Security Register, or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States of America as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.




REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS 2027 NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this 2027 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.





    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

REVERSE OF 2027 NOTE

1. This 2027 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Company (the “Securities”) issued under an Indenture dated as of April 26, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 26, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and as further supplemented by that Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 14, 2022 by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the 2027 Notes issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said 2027 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This 2027 Note comprises one of the 6.625%/7.25% Senior Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027, initially limited in aggregate principal amount of $26,639,856; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes may be increased in the future with no limit, without the consent of the holders of the 2027 Notes, on the same terms and with the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the 2027 Notes (if any), except for the Original Issue Date and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date, provided that no Event of Default with respect to the 2027 Notes shall have occurred and be continuing. In connection with any PIK Payment, the Company is entitled to, without the consent of the holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under the Indenture including Section 1.10(d) of this Second Supplemental Indenture) to increase the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes or to issue PIK Interest Notes under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the 2027 Notes. Additionally, on the Original Issue Date, the Company is entitled to, without the consent of the holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under the Indenture including Section 1.10(d) of the Second Supplemental Indenture) to increase the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes to capitalize into the outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes all or any portion of any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2017 Notes. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

2. This 2027 Note is exchangeable in whole or, from time to time, in part for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form only as provided herein and in the Indenture. If (i) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this 2027 Note or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing as a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, at such time as the Depositary is required to be so registered and the Depositary so notifies the Company and, in each case, the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be or (ii) subject to the procedures of the Depositary, the Company in its sole discretion determines that this 2027 Note shall be exchangeable for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form and executes and delivers to the Security Registrar a written order of the Company providing that this 2027 Note shall be so exchangeable, this 2027 Note shall be exchangeable for 2027 Notes in definitive registered form, provided that the definitive 2027 Notes so issued in exchange for this 2027 Note shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of this 2027 Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above or in the Second Supplemental Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in this 2027 Note will not be entitled to have 2027 Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to physical delivery of 2027 Notes in definitive registered form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in this 2027 Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

3. If an Event of Default with respect to the 2027 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the 2027 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.




4. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of greater than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the 2027 Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all 2027 Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this 2027 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this 2027 Note and of any 2027 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 2027 Note.

5. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company pursuant to this 2027 Note and (b) restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this 2027 Note.

6. At any time and from time to time on April 14, 2025, or at any time thereafter, this 2027 Note will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. On any Interest Payment Date, the 2027 Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed in an amount not to exceed the excess of the Outstanding principal amount of the 2027 Notes as of such Interest Payment Date (including, if applicable, any increases in principal in respect of any PIK Interest or additional PIK Notes issued as of such Interest Payment Date) over the original par amount of 2027 Notes Outstanding as of such Interest Payment Date. For avoidance of doubt, the amount which may be redeemed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not exceed the amount attributable to PIK Interest added to the principal amount of the then-Outstanding 2027 Notes plus any additional PIK Notes issued.

7. If less than all of the 2027 Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the 2027 Notes or portions of 2027 Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select for redemption 2027 Notes and portions of 2027 Notes in amounts of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of 2027 Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part; provided that if the 2027 Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, interests in such Global Securities shall be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor.

8. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 2027 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 due on this 2027 Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

(a) As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this 2027 Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 2027 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar and duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new 2027 Notes, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company will require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
(b) Prior to due presentment of this 2027 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security Registrar of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this 2027 Note is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 2027 Note be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Except as provided in Section 1.03 of the Second Supplemental Indenture (relating to the accrual of PIK Interest), all payments of the principal of and interest due on this 2027 Note made to or upon the order of the



registered holder hereof shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts so paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this 2027 Note.
(c) The 2027 Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1.00, or any integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 2027 Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the 2027 Note or 2027 Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company.

10. No recourse shall be had for payment of the principal of or interest on this 2027 Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

11. This 2027 Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the internal laws of the State of New York, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of said State, without reference to its principles of conflict of laws, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligation Law.

12. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the 2027 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2027 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
