The Notes will be the Company's senior, unsecured obligations and will be (i) equal in right of payment with the Company's existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company's existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company's existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's subsidiaries.

limitations described below), at the Company's option at any time, and from time

If certain corporate events that constitute a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company's Class A common stock.
The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of "Events of
Default" (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain
payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of
interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) the
Company's failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified
periods of time; (iii) the Company's failure to convert a Note upon the exercise
of the conversion right with respect to such Note, subject to a three
business-day cure period; (iv) the Company's failure to comply with certain
covenants in the Indenture relating to the Company's ability to consolidate with
or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction
or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (v) a default
by the Company in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the
Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is
given in accordance with the Indenture; (vi) certain defaults by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for money borrowed of at

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively . . .
