put, (ii) a right to convert such securities into common shares of the Parent REIT, cash or a combination thereof (in each case, at election of the Parent REIT) or (iii) an acceleration upon an event of default), and (f) that have the benefit of covenants and events of default customary for comparable convertible securities (as determined by the Parent REIT in good faith).
“Permitted Convertible Notes Swap Contract” means a Swap Contract entered into by the Parent REIT in connection with, and prior to or concurrently with, the issuance of any Permitted Convertible Notes pursuant to which the Parent REIT acquires a call or a capped call option requiring the counterparty thereto to deliver to the Parent
REIT common shares of the Parent REIT, the cash value of such shares or a combination of such shares and cash from time to time upon exercise of such option; provided that the terms, conditions and covenants of each such Swap Contract shall be such as are typical and customary for Swap Contracts of such type (as determined by the Parent REIT in good faith).
Section 1.2. The definition of “Equity Interests” in Schedule A of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the final period thereof with the following clause:
; provided
that neither Permitted Convertible Notes (prior to conversion thereof) nor Permitted Convertible Notes Swap Contracts shall constitute Equity Interests of the Parent REIT.
Section 1.3. The definition of “Indebtedness” in Schedule A is hereby amended by adding the following clause at the last paragraph thereto:
For avoidance of doubt, the Indebtedness of the Parent REIT shall include Permitted Convertible Notes (prior to conversion thereof).
Section 1.4. The
definition of “Restricted Payments” in Schedule A is hereby amended by replacing the final period thereof with the following clause:
; provided, further, that payments for, in respect of or in connection with Permitted Convertible Notes Swap Contracts shall not constitute Restricted Payments.

During the Waiver Period, if any Consolidated Party makes any Disposition (other than
those permitted by Section 10.7(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)), issues any Equity Interests, or incurs any Indebtedness (each a “Waiver Period Event”), the Company shall offer to prepay the Notes in accordance with Section 8.9(b) below; provided that the 2020 Permitted Convertible Notes shall not constitute a Waiver Period Event. The Company shall give not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the Waiver Period Event. Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.9 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.9.
Section 1.6. Section
10.10 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to (i) remove “or” at the end of clause (e), (ii) change clause “(f)” to clause “(g),” and add the following as clause (f):
