Further Issuances
The Issuer may, without the consent of the holders of the notes of any series, issue additional notes of such series having the same priority in right of payment and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the notes (except for the issue date and the public offering price). Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the notes of the applicable series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture. No additional notes of a series may be issued if an event of default has occurred with respect to the notes of such series. The Issuer will not issue any additional notes intended to form a single series with the notes unless such further notes will be fungible with all existing notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
