Insights

TL;DR Procedural trustee replacement under existing indentures; paying agent and registrar functions delayed for ten business days.

The Tripartite Agreement documents a transfer of trustee responsibilities from the retiring trustee (Computershare Trust Company, N.A., successor to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas across the Base Indenture and four supplemental indentures, including the recently executed Fifth Supplemental Indenture. This is a contractual, administrative change that transfers fiduciary and operational duties; the only operational delay explicitly disclosed is a ten-business-day lag before paying agent and security registrar roles become effective. The filing includes the agreement as Exhibit 4.1 for investor review.

TL;DR Trustee succession formalized by Tripartite Agreement; scope covers all listed supplemental indentures and preserves trustee protections and indemnities.

The agreement confirms assignment and acceptance of all rights, indemnities, protections, powers and duties from the retiring trustee to the successor trustee under the Indenture documents listed. The successor expressly accepts the roles of trustee, security registrar, paying agent, authenticating agent and depositary custodian, subject to the stated ten-business-day effective delay for two functions. The executed Tripartite Agreement is provided as Exhibit 4.1, enabling stakeholders to review the precise legal terms.
