amendment, modification, extension, or restatement of the below-defined Operating Note or in any renewal, amendment, modification, extension, or restatement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Note will mature on a

discretion will modify or renew and extend the then existing Operating Note to provide for it to mature on April 11, 2028, and the process will repeat on April 11 of each year following 2026 so that the maturity of the Operating Note

existing Operating Note;
