     The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Sections 2.01 and 2.02 Reference source not found. hereof, reopen the Securities and issue additional Securities hereunder with the same terms and conditions (except for any difference in the issue price therefor and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance thereof) and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which will form the same series with the Securities initially issued hereunder, so long as such additional Securities constitute the same issue as the Securities initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Securities initially issued hereunder and any such additional Securities would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture.
