1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The terms "we," "our," "us," "Delek" and the "Company" are used in this report to refer to Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries. Delek's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "DK."
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delek and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2026 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K") and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include Delek Logistics Partners, LP ("Delek Logistics", NYSE:DKL), a variable interest entity ("VIE"). As the indirect owner of the general partner of Delek Logistics, we have the ability to direct the activities of this entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes for this entity. Any losses incurred by Delek Logistics will be reflected in our operating results, net of intercompany eliminations, proportionate to our ownership interest.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)
In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2026-02 Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818) ("ASU 2026-02"), which establishes the first comprehensive GAAP framework for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing environmental credits and related compliance obligations. ASU 2026-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments on a retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets on the balance sheet) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2026-02 will have on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12 Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). This update addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-12 will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but could impact disclosures.
ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"), which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to Topic 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosure requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2025-11 will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but could simplify disclosures.

ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a VIE
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a VIE ("ASU 2025-03"). This standard clarifies the guidance in determining the accounting acquirer in a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the standard is to be applied prospectively to acquisitions after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2025-03 will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but could impact future business combinations.
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregation of expenses into specific categories such as purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, by relevant expense caption on the statement of operations. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will not affect our financial position or our results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
Gravity Acquisition
On January 2, 2025, Delek Logistics purchased 100% of the limited liability company interests in Gravity Water Intermediate Holdings LLC from Gravity Water Holdings LLC (the "Seller") related to the Seller's water disposal and recycling operations in the Permian Basin and the Bakken Basin (the “Gravity Acquisition”) for total consideration of $300.8 million, subject to customary adjustments for net working capital. The purchase price was comprised of $209.3 million in cash consisting of a cash deposit of $22.8 million paid in December 2024 upon execution of the purchase agreement and $186.5 million paid at closing on January 2, 2025, and 2,175,209 of Delek Logistics’ common units.
This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price is measured at acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Determination of Purchase Price
The table below presents the purchase price (in millions):
Base purchase price:$291.6 
Plus: Adjusted Net Working Capital (as defined in the Gravity Acquisition Agreement)

Purchase Price Allocation
The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Gravity Acquisition as of January 2, 2025 (in millions):
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents$5.3 
Accounts receivables16.4 
Inventories1.8 
Other current assets1.7 
Property, plant and equipment191.5 
Operating lease right-of-use assets0.1 
Other intangibles (1)
98.2 
Other non-current assets0.1 
Total assets acquired315.1 
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable2.5 
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities5.7 
Current portion of operating lease liabilities0.1 
Asset retirement obligations6.0 
Total liabilities assumed14.3 
Fair value of net assets acquired$300.8 
(1)The acquired intangible assets amount includes the following identified intangibles:
•Customer relationship intangible that is subject to amortization with a fair value of $66.3 million, which will be amortized over approximately 32 years.
•Rights-of-way intangibles are valued at $31.9 million, the majority of which have an indefinite life.
The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recently published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties.
Customer relationships were valued using the income approach, with essential assumptions including projected revenues from these relationships, attrition rates, operating margins and discount rates.
The fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore, represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 11 for further information. For all other current assets and payables, their fair values were considered equivalent to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

3. Segment Data
We aggregate our operating units into two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Operations that are not specifically included in the reportable segments are included in Corporate, Other and Eliminations, which consist of the following:
•our corporate activities;
•results of certain immaterial operating segments; and
•intercompany eliminations.
On May 1, 2025, we transferred the Delek Permian Gathering ("DPG") purchasing and blending activities to Delek Logistics (the "DPG Dropdown”). The operating results of DPG are now reported in our Logistics segment, while previously recorded in the Refining segment.
The disaggregated financial results for the reportable segments have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting internal operating decisions. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates performance based upon segment EBITDA attributable to Delek. We define EBITDA attributable to Delek for any period as net income (loss) attributable to Delek plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, and proportional interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of equity method investments. Segment EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA that is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Segment EBITDA, as determined and measured by us, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the Company by the CODM and thus are not disclosed.
Refining Segment
The refining segment processes crude oil and other feedstocks for the manufacture of transportation motor fuels, including various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel and aviation fuel, asphalt and other petroleum-based products that are distributed through owned and third-party product terminals. The refining segment includes the following:
•Tyler, Texas refinery (the "Tyler refinery");
•El Dorado, Arkansas refinery (the "El Dorado refinery");
•Big Spring, Texas refinery (the "Big Spring refinery"); and
•Krotz Springs, Louisiana refinery (the "Krotz Springs refinery").
In addition, the refining segment includes our wholesale crude operations and our 50% interest in a joint venture that owns asphalt terminals located in the southwestern region of the U.S.
The refining segment's petroleum-based products are marketed primarily in the south central and southwestern regions of the United States. This segment also ships and sells gasoline into wholesale markets in the southern and eastern United States. In addition, the segment sells motor fuels through its wholesale distribution network on an unbranded basis.
Logistics Segment

4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (or "EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income resulting from the assumed settlement of dilutive equity instruments, by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For all periods presented, outstanding equity-based compensation awards are included in the diluted EPS calculation when dilutive, including those disclosed in Note 17 to these condensed consolidated financial statements. Awards indexed to our common stock are generally dilutive when the market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price.
The dilutive impact of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes, issued on September 29, 2026, (refer to Note 9 for further information) is calculated using the if converted method. The Convertible Notes require the principal amount to be settled in cash, with any amount in excess of the conversion price paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. Because the average market price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed the conversion price of the notes during the periods presented, there were no incremental shares associated with the conversion premium included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

5. Delek Logistics
Delek Logistics is a publicly traded limited partnership formed by Delek in 2012 that owns and operates crude oil, refined products and natural gas logistics and marketing assets as well as water disposal and recycling assets. As of September 30, 2026, we owned a 58.0% interest in Delek Logistics, consisting of 33,508,831 common limited partner units and the non-economic general partner interest. The remaining limited partner interests are reflected in net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and in non-controlling interest in subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition
On January 2, 2025, Delek Logistics completed the Gravity Acquisition in which it acquired water disposal and recycling operations in the Permian Basin and the Bakken Basin for total consideration of $300.8 million, subject to customary net working capital adjustments. See Note 2 - Acquisitions for additional information.
Delek Permian Gathering Dropdown
On May 1, 2025, we transferred the Delek Permian Gathering purchasing and blending activities to Delek Logistics. In connection with the DPG Dropdown, Delek Logistics assumed all rights and obligations to purchase crude oil under certain contracts associated with its existing Midland Gathering System. Total consideration included the cancellation of $58.8 million in payables owed to Delek Logistics.
Agreements
On January 30, 2026, we entered into asset purchase agreements with Delek Logistics, (collectively, “the Intercompany Agreements”), to acquire (i) a Tyler refinery tank for total consideration of $19.0 million (the “Tyler Tank Purchase”) and (ii) El Dorado tank and terminal assets for total consideration of $66.0 million (the “El Dorado Terminal Purchase”). The Tyler Tank Purchase closed on April 1, 2026, with consideration paid through the transfer of 359,372 Delek Logistics common units, based on a 30-day volume-weighted average unit price. The El Dorado Terminal Purchase is expected to close on October 1, 2027, subject to customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the Intercompany Agreements, Delek also agreed to waive Omnibus fees for an aggregate of $4.0 million during the first two quarters of 2026.
On May 1, 2025, we entered into a termination agreement with Delek Logistics to terminate, in its entirety, the East Texas Marketing Agreement effective as of January 1, 2026.
Also on May 1, 2025, in connection with the DPG Dropdown, we (i) amended and restated a throughput agreement with Delek Logistics for the El Dorado rail facility (the “Throughput Agreement”), which includes a minimum volume commitment for refined products until the termination of the Throughput Agreement, which occurred at the closing of the El Dorado Purchase (as defined below), (ii) entered into an asset purchase agreement with Delek Logistics (the “El Dorado Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the El Dorado rail facility assets for cash consideration of $25.0 million (the “El Dorado Purchase”). The El Dorado Purchase closed in January 2026 upon satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the El Dorado Purchase Agreement.
We also entered into an amended and restated Omnibus Agreement with Delek Logistics providing for an increase in the Administrative Fee (as defined therein) phased in over two years beginning July 1, 2025 and a binding obligation for both parties to enter into transition services agreements upon a change in control.
All transactions with Delek Logistics have been eliminated in consolidation.
Common Units
On August 14, 2026, Delek Logistics completed a public offering of its common units in which it sold 4,600,000 common units (including an overallotment option of 600,000 common units) to the underwriters of the offering at a price to the public of $50.00 per unit. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility. As a result of the offering the Company's ownership interest in Delek Logistics was reduced from approximately 63.0% to 58.0%. As the Company continues to consolidate Delek Logistics in its financial results, the change in ownership interest was accounted for as an equity transaction, resulting in a $71.2 million increase in additional paid-in capital, net of a $19.5 million deferred tax adjustment.
On February 24, 2025, we entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement with Delek Logistics (the “Common Unit Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Delek Logistics may repurchase common units from time to time from us in one or more transactions for an aggregate purchase price of up to $150.0 million through December 31, 2026 (each such repurchase, a “Repurchase”). The purchase price per common unit in each Repurchase will equal the 30-day volume-weighted average price of the common units at the close of trading on the day prior to the applicable closing date, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Common Unit Purchase Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 243,075 common units were repurchased from us and cancelled at the time of the transaction for an aggregate consideration of $10.0 million. No common units were repurchased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, there was $140.0 million of authorization remaining under the Common Unit Purchase Agreement.

6. Equity Method Investments
Delek Logistics Investments
Delek Logistics holds a 50% investment in W2W Holdings LLC, which includes a 15.6% indirect interest in the Wink to Webster Pipeline ("WWP") joint venture and related joint venture indebtedness.
W2W Holdings LLC was originally formed by Delek and MPLX Operations LLC ("MPLX") to obtain financing and fund capital calls associated with their collective interests in the WWP joint venture. We have determined that W2W Holdings LLC is a VIE. While we have the ability to exert significant influence through participation in board and management committees, we are not the primary beneficiary since we do not have a controlling financial interest in W2W Holdings LLC, and no single party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance.
Distributions received are first applied to service the debt of W2W Holdings LLC's wholly owned finance subsidiary, with any excess distributed to the W2W Holdings LLC members in accordance with the W2W Holdings LLC Agreement and its debt agreements. Member obligations under the W2W Holdings LLC Agreement are guaranteed by the respective parent entities of each member.
As of September 30, 2026, other than for the guarantee of member obligations as described above, we have no other guarantees with or to W2W Holdings LLC, or any third-party associated with its contracted work. Delek Logistics' maximum exposure to any losses incurred by W2W Holdings LLC is limited to its investment. Delek Logistics did not provide any financial support to equity method investments that it was not contractually obligated to provide during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, Delek Logistics' W2W Holdings LLC investment balance totaled $129.6 million and $116.4 million, respectively.

On December 22, 2022, Delek entered into an inventory intermediation agreement ("Inventory Intermediation Agreement") with Citigroup Energy Inc. ("Citi") in connection with DK Trading & Supply, LLC ("DKTS"), an indirect subsidiary of Delek. Under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, Citi will (i) purchase from and sell to DKTS crude oil and other petroleum feedstocks in connection with refining processing operations at El Dorado, Big Spring, and Krotz Springs, (ii) purchase from and sell to DKTS all refined products produced by such refineries other than certain excluded products and (iii) in connection with such purchases and sales, DKTS will enter into certain market risk hedges in each case, on the terms and subject to certain conditions.
The Inventory Intermediation Agreement provides for the lease to Citi of crude oil and refined product storage facilities. At inception, we transferred title to a certain number of barrels of crude and other inventories to Citi, upon termination, the Inventory Intermediation Agreement requires repurchase of the remaining inventory, including certain "Base Layer Volumes". The Inventory Intermediation Agreement is accounted for as an inventory financing arrangement under the fair value election provided by ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") and ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"). Accordingly, crude oil and refined products barrels subject to the agreement continue to be reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. At each reporting period, we record a liability equal to the repurchase obligation to Citi at current market prices. Repurchase obligations associated with the Base Layer Volumes are classified as non-current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets to the extent they are not contractually due within twelve months. The remaining obligations arising from monthly activity, including long and short inventory positions valued at market-indexed pricing, are included in current liabilities (or receivables) on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On December 21, 2023, DKTS amended the Inventory Intermediation Agreement to among other things, (i) reduce Citi’s unilateral term extension option from twelve months to six months and (ii) increase the amount of the payment deferral mechanism from $70 million to $250 million. On February 21, 2025, DKTS further amended the Inventory Intermediation Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the term from January 31, 2026 to January 31, 2027 and (ii) include a mechanism for DKTS to nominate each month whether to include volumes related to the Krotz Springs refinery for funding under the agreement. On December 18, 2025, DKTS again amended the Inventory Intermediation Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the term from January 31, 2027 to January 31, 2028, (ii) reduce certain commitment fees, and (iii) expand the monthly mechanism for DKTS to nominate volumes related to the El Dorado and Big Spring refinery for funding under the agreement.
As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the volumes subject to the Inventory Intermediation Agreement totaled 1.6 million and 1.8 million barrels, respectively, including Base Layer Volumes associated with our non-current inventory intermediation obligation. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had letters of credit outstanding of $70.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively, supporting the Inventory Intermediation Agreement.

Delek Term Loan Credit Facility
On November 18, 2022, Delek entered into an amended and restated term loan credit agreement (the "Delek Term Loan Credit Facility") providing for a senior secured term loan facility with an initial principal of $950.0 million at a discount of 4.00%. As originally in effect, repayment terms include quarterly principal payments of $2.4 million with the balance of principal due on November 19, 2029. At Delek’s option, borrowings bear interest at either the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or base rate as defined by the agreement, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.50% per annum with respect to SOFR borrowings. These terms were modified by Amendment No. 1, as described below.
On May 15, 2026, Delek entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility, using proceeds and available cash to refinance its existing term loan facility. As a result, the outstanding principal balance was reduced to $850.0 million. Amendment No. 1, among other modifications, (i) extended the maturity of the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility to May 15, 2032, (ii) reduced the rate of interest on borrowings, at the Company’s election, to either term SOFR plus 300 basis points or base rate plus 200 basis points, and (iii) permits up to $750.0 million in incremental loans subject to certain restrictions.
At September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the weighted average borrowing rate was approximately 6.84% and 7.08%, respectively. The effective interest rate was 7.77% as of September 30, 2026.
Delek 2031 Convertible Notes
On September 29, 2026, Delek issued $460.0 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due November 1, 2031, (the "Delek 2031 Convertible Notes" or "Convertible Notes"). Net proceeds in part were used to fund capped call transactions and will be used for general corporate purposes including partial repayment of the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility. The Delek 2031 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, bear no regular interest, carry a fixed principal that will not accrete, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each subsidiary that guarantees the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility and asset-based revolving credit facility. They are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial rate of 11.7219 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $85.31 per share, subject to adjustment. The Convertible Notes require the principal amount to be settled in cash, with any amount in excess of the conversion price paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock.
Under the terms of the indenture, prior to August 1, 2031, holders may convert all or a portion of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes only under the following circumstances:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
•at any time during the 30 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st trading day of any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2026, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 150% of the conversion price for each of at least five trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the first 20 consecutive trading days of such fiscal quarter;
•during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock, and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
•if the Company calls such Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or
•upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, as specified in the Indenture.
As of September 30, 2026, none of the conditions allowing for the holders of the Convertible Notes to convert have been met.
Holders may convert their Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time on or after August 1, 2031, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the November 1, 2031, maturity date. Additionally, the Company may redeem the Convertible Notes on or after November 6, 2029, if certain stock price conditions are met. Upon a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, holders may require repurchase at 100% of principal plus accrued interest. Upon certain events of default, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable.
In relation to this offering, we recorded $12.1 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes and included in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions at a cost of approximately $34.3 million. The capped call transactions relate to the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes and are intended to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion and/or offset cash payments in excess of the principal, subject to an initial cap price of approximately $117.09 per share. As the capped call transactions met the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, the costs paid for the capped call transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax assets associated with future tax deductions, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The capped call transactions are separate from the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes and do not affect the rights of the noteholders.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Delek Revolving Credit Facility
On April 9, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4” and, as amended, the "ABL Credit Agreement"), amending the existing Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2022 (the “Existing ABL Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 4, among other modifications, (i) increased the revolving loan commitments from $1,100.0 million to $1,250.0 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Delek Revolving Credit Facility from October 26, 2027 to April 9, 2031 (subject to a springing maturity date that is 90 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s term loan credit facility if, on such date, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan exceeds $500.0 million), (iii) reduced the interest rate margins applicable to the Delek Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% and (iv) amended certain thresholds for obligations under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement.
Amendment No. 4 also amends the incremental facility under the Delek Revolving Credit Facility to allow the Company to increase the available revolving borrowings by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greatest of (i) $750.0 million, (ii) 1.00% of EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, and (iii) adjusted availability plus any suppressed availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the ABL Credit Agreement.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, limitations on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments, investments, asset dispositions, and affiliate transactions.

Delek Logistics Revolving Facility
On March 26, 2026, Delek Logistics entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) that provides for revolving commitments up to $1,300.0 million in the aggregate with a sublimit up to $150.0 million for letters of credit and up to $50.0 million for swing line loans (the “Delek Logistics Revolving Facility”). The Delek Logistics Revolving Facility replaced Delek Logistics’ previous revolving credit facility and term loan facility under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement") and proceeds were used to pay all outstanding balances of the Prior Credit Agreement. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, Delek Logistics recorded $10.2 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the term of the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility. In addition, Delek Logistics recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred issuance costs associated with the Prior Credit Agreement. which is recorded in interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.The maturity date for the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility is the earliest of (i) March 26, 2031, (ii) the date that is 180 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Delek Logistic 2029 Notes (as defined below) to the extent that on such date, no less than $500.0 million of aggregate principal amount of these notes remains outstanding, and (iii) such date on which the Delek Logistics Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) are terminated in whole due to voluntary termination or certain events of default.
Borrowings under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility bear interest at either (i) a base rate (equal to the highest of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum, or (ii) a term SOFR-based tranche rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum, in each case depending on the Delek Logistics' Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Swing loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans.
The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default which Delek Logistics considers customary and are similar to, but allow additional flexibility to Delek Logistics and its restricted subsidiaries as compared with, those in the Prior Credit Agreement.

Delek Logistics 2034 Notes
On May 14, 2026, Delek Logistics and its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Logistics Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and together with Delek Logistics, the “Co-issuers”), sold $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Co-issuers 6.875% senior notes due 2034 (the “Delek Logistics 2034 Notes”). Net proceeds were used to redeem the Delek Logistics 2028 Notes (as defined below) including accrued interest and a portion of the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes (as defined below) including accrued interest.
The Delek Logistics 2034 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Co-issuers and are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by the Delek Logistics’ subsidiaries other than Finance Corp. and will be unconditionally guaranteed on the same basis by certain of Delek Logistics' future subsidiaries. The Delek Logistics 2034 Notes rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Co-issuers, and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Co-issuers. The Delek Logistics 2034 Notes will mature on June 1, 2034, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1.
At any time prior to June 1, 2029, the Co-issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes at a redemption price of 106.875% of the redeemed principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Prior to June 1, 2029, the Co-issuers may also redeem all or part of the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes at a redemption price of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a "make whole" premium, subject to certain conditions and limitations. In addition, beginning on June 1, 2029, the Co-issuers may, subject to certain conditions and limitations, redeem all or part of the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes, at a redemption price of 103.438% of the redeemed principal for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2029, 101.719% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2030, and 100.00% beginning on June 1, 2031 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Co-issuers may also redeem all (but not a portion of) the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes under certain circumstances if 90.00% or more of the outstanding aggregate principal amount is purchased in connection with a change of control or alternate offer. In the event of a change of control, accompanied or followed by a ratings downgrade within a certain period of time, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Co-issuers will be required to offer to purchase the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes from holders at a price equal to 101.00% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We recorded $13.5 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes and included in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2026, the effective interest rate was 7.15%.

Guarantees Under Revolver and Term Facilities
The obligations of the borrowers under the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility, the Delek Revolving Credit Facility, and the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes are guaranteed by Delek and each of its direct and indirect, existing and future, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, and excluding Delek Logistics Partners, LP, Delek Logistics GP, LLC, and each subsidiary of the foregoing (collectively, the "MLP Subsidiaries"). Borrowings under the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility and the Delek Revolving Credit Facility are also guaranteed by DK Canada Energy ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and a wholly-owned restricted subsidiary of Delek.
The obligations under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of Delek Logistics' tangible and intangible assets.
Restrictive Terms and Covenants
Under the terms of our debt facilities, we are required to comply with usual and customary financial and non-financial covenants. Certain of our debt facilities contain limitations on future transactions such as incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, affiliate transactions, asset acquisitions or dispositions, and dividends or distributions. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with covenants on all of our debt instruments.
Some of Delek's subsidiaries have restrictions in their respective credit facilities limiting their use of assets. As of September 30, 2026, we had no subsidiaries with restricted net assets which would prohibit earnings from being transferred to the parent company for its use.
10. Derivative Instruments
We use the majority of our derivatives to reduce normal operating and market risks with the primary objective of reducing the impact of market price volatility on our results of operations. As such, our use of derivative contracts is aimed at:
•limiting exposure to commodity price fluctuations on inventory above or below target levels (where appropriate) within each of our segments;
•managing exposure to commodity price risk associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil, feedstocks/intermediates and finished-grade fuel within each of our segments;
•managing exposure to market crack spread fluctuations;
•managing the cost of our Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") credits required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to blend biofuels into fuel products ("RINs Obligation") using future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities; and
•limiting exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate borrowings.
To achieve these objectives, we primarily utilize commodity swaps, futures, forward contracts, and options contracts, generally with maturity dates of three years or less, and from time to time, interest rate swaps or caps. Futures contracts are standardized exchange-traded agreements, to buy or sell the commodity at a predetermined price and location at a specified future date. Options grant the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a commodity at a specified price in the future. Commodity swaps and futures contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date, and options require payment or receipt of an upfront premium. Because these derivatives are entered into to manage inventory and production risks, related gains and losses (to the extent not designated as accounting hedges and recognized on an unrealized basis in other comprehensive income) are recognized in cost of materials and other.
On August 20, 2024, May 2, 2025 and April 1, 2026 we entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge floating rate debt by exchanging interest rate cash flows, based on a notional amount from a floating rate to a fixed rate, effectively fixing the variable SOFR interest component on certain Delek debt. In the third quarter of 2026 two interest rate swaps were terminated by the counterparties pursuant to the options within the agreements. As of September 30, 2026, the notional amount under the remaining agreement covers $200.0 million of the outstanding principal throughout the duration of the interest rate swap. Because the swaps were entered into to achieve objectives specifically related to our interest expense, related gains and losses are recognized in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Forward contracts are agreements to buy or sell a commodity at a predetermined price at a specified future date, and for our transactions, generally require physical delivery. Forward contracts where the underlying commodity will be used or sold in the normal course of business qualify as normal purchases and normal sales ("NPNS") pursuant to ASC 815. If we elect the NPNS exception, such forward contracts are not accounted for as derivative instruments but rather are accounted for under other applicable GAAP. Commodity forward contracts accounted for as derivative instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, other forward contracts accounted for as derivatives that are specific to managing crude costs rather than for trading purposes are recognized in cost of materials and other on the condensed consolidated statements of income in our refining segment, and are included in our disclosures of commodity derivatives in the tables below.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
From time to time, we also enter into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs associated with our RINs Obligation. These future RINs commitment contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments under ASC 815 and are recorded at estimated fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of these future RINs commitment contracts are recorded in cost of materials and other on the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2026, we do not believe there is any material credit risk with respect to the counterparties to any of our derivative contracts.
In April 2026, Delek entered into a contract to exchange crude oil barrels. Under the arrangement, the counterparty agreed to deliver 1.0 million barrels to Delek in the second quarter of 2026, with a return of approximately 1.2 million barrels in 2028. The arrangement is accounted for as a derivative, indexed to forward crude pricing. Changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in cost of materials and other on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents the fair value of our derivative instruments as of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under our master netting arrangements, including cash collateral on deposit with our counterparties. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below differ from the amounts presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for further information regarding the fair value of derivative instruments (in millions).

11. Fair Value Measurements
Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value include commodity derivatives, interest rate derivatives, investment commodities, environmental credits obligations, and our Inventory Intermediation Agreement. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Commodity and Interest Rate Derivatives
Our commodity derivative contracts, which consist of commodity swaps, exchange-traded futures, options and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (that do not qualify for the NPNS exception under ASC 815), are valued based on exchange pricing and/or price index developers such as Platts or Argus and are, therefore, classified as Level 2.
Our crude exchange contract is valued based on forward crude prices that are observable market inputs, and therefore classified as Level 2.
Our interest rate swaps are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate the cash flows of the derivatives, as well as the current SOFR rate and a forward SOFR curve, along with other observable market inputs and are, therefore, classified as Level 2.
Environmental Credit Obligations
Our environmental credit obligation positions are subject to fair value accounting pursuant to our accounting policy. As part of our refining operations, we generate certain regulatory environmental credit obligations, the most notable of which is the renewable volume obligation ("RVO"), which are satisfied through RINs. Because our obligations to provide RINs exceed the RINs we are able to generate annually on a consolidated basis, and because we have the legal ability to transfer RINs generated or purchased through any of our entities to our obligated parties as needed, we view and manage the Company’s RINs holdings on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the sum of all of our obligated parties’ Net RINs obligations and our RIN holdings at the end of each period comprises the Company’s “Consolidated Net RINs Obligation.” The Consolidated Net RINs Obligation may be a surplus ("Consolidated Net RIN surplus") or deficit ("Consolidated Net RIN deficit") at the end of each reporting period depending on the amount of RINs held on a consolidated basis and the amount owed to the EPA. When there is a Consolidated Net RIN deficit, we have elected to apply the fair value option using the fair value guidance provided by ASC 820. To the extent the obligations are measured at fair value they are categorized as Level 2, either directly through observable inputs or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs, and gains (losses) related to changes in fair value are recorded as a component of cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of income. When there is a Consolidated Net RIN surplus, we value the asset at historical cost under the inventory method.
On August 3, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced its final action on certain petitions for small refinery exemptions under the Renewable Fuel Standard program, which included the petition submitted for the Krotz Springs refinery for the 2024 compliance year. In connection with that action, the EPA granted a full exemption with respect to the Krotz Springs refinery’s 2024 Renewable Fuel Standard obligations. The EPA’s action follows the D.C. Court of Appeals’ April 7, 2026, decision vacating the EPA’s prior denial of the 2024 exemption application. On August 31, 2026, the EPA announced its action on petitions for small refinery exemptions under the 2025 compliance year, which included petitions for all four Delek refineries. In connection with that action, the EPA granted a full exemption with respect to all Delek refineries. The cost of RINs returned for the 2024 and 2025 compliance years were previously recorded in Cost of materials and other based on the Consolidated Net RINs Obligation recorded for each year. The SREs resulted in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other in the third quarter of 2026.
Our RINs commitment contracts, which are forward contracts accounted for as derivatives (see Note 10 and Note 15), are future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities. The RINs commitment contracts are categorized as Level 2, and are measured at fair value based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Inventory Intermediation
We elected to account for our Inventory Intermediation step-out liability at fair value in accordance with ASC 825, as it pertains to the fair value option. This standard permits the election to carry financial instruments and certain other items similar to financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet, with all changes in fair value reported in earnings. With respect to the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, we apply fair value measurement as follows: (1) we determine fair value for our amended variable step-out liability based on changes in fair value related to market volatility based on a floating commodity-index price, and for our amended fixed step-out liability based on changes to interest rates and the timing and amount of expected future cash settlements where such obligation is categorized as Level 2. Gains (losses) related to changes in fair value due to commodity-index price are recorded as a component of cost of materials and other, and changes in fair value due to interest rate risk are recorded as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income; and (2) we determine fair value of the commodity-indexed revolving over/short inventory financing liability based on the market prices for the consigned crude oil and refined products collateralizing the financing/funding where such obligation is categorized as Level 2 and is presented in the current portion of the obligation under Inventory Intermediation Agreement on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains (losses) related to the change in fair value are recorded as a component of cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of income. See Note 8 for discussion of gains and losses recognized from changes in fair value.
Debt
The fair values of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes, Delek Logistics 2029 Notes, 2033 Notes and 2034 Notes are each measured using quoted market prices in an active market (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). The carrying values (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) and estimated fair values of these notes were as follows (in millions):
Balance at September 30, 2026Balance at December 31, 2025

Delek Logistics 2034 Notes$800.0 $772.0 N/AN/A
(1) The carrying value of the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes decreased as a result of a conditional notice of partial redemption of $400.0 million in principal, issued concurrently with the offering of the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes.
The fair value approximates the historical or amortized cost basis comprising our carrying value for all other financial instruments and therefore are not included in the table below. The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis was as follows (in millions):

The derivative values above are based on analysis of each contract as the fundamental unit of account as required by ASC 820. In the table above, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are not netted where the legal right of offset exists. This differs from the presentation in the financial statements which reflects our policy, wherein we have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty and where the legal right of offset exists. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, $(0.8) million and $2.4 million, respectively, of cash (obligation) collateral was held by counterparty brokerage firms and has been netted with the net derivative positions with each counterparty. See Note 10 for further information regarding derivative instruments.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Gravity Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the closing date. The fair value measurements were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows, the market approach and obsolescence adjusted replacement costs, all of which are Level 3 inputs. See Note 2 for further information.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. Certain environmental matters that have or may result in penalties or assessments are discussed below in the "Environmental, Health and Safety" section of this note.
Environmental, Health and Safety
We are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental and safety laws and regulations enforced by various agencies, including the EPA, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as numerous state, regional and local environmental, safety and pipeline agencies. These laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management practices, pollution prevention measures, and the composition of the fuels we produce, as well as the safe operation of our plants and pipelines and the safety of our workers and the public. Numerous permits or other authorizations are required under these laws and regulations for the operation of our refineries, renewable fuels facilities, terminals, pipelines, underground storage tanks, trucks, rail cars, and related operations, and may be subject to revocation, modification, and renewal.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances that we manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which we have assumed responsibility. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between us and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, we anticipate that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations. As of September 30, 2026, we have recorded an environmental liability of approximately $34.7 million, primarily related to the estimated probable costs of remediating or otherwise addressing certain environmental issues of a non-capital nature at our refineries, as well as terminals, some of which we no longer

own. This liability includes estimated costs for ongoing investigation and remediation efforts for known contamination of soil and groundwater. Approximately $4.4 million of the total liability is expected to be expended over the next 12 months, with most of the balance expended by 2037, although some costs may extend up to 24 years. In the future, we could be required to extend the expected remediation period or undertake additional investigations of our refineries, pipelines, and terminal facilities, which could result in the recognition of additional remediation liabilities.
Lease Commitment
Delek Logistics has entered into an arrangement with a third party to construct, own, and subsequently lease to us certain sour gas gathering equipment near our Libby gas processing plant. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026, at which time we are committed to enter into a finance lease for the equipment. As we do not control the assets during construction and have no obligation to fund construction costs, no assets or related obligations have been recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2026. The total estimated project cost is approximately $60.0 million. Upon lease commencement, we will recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842").
13. Income Taxes
Under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), we generally use an estimated annual tax rate to record income taxes. For interim financial reporting, except in specified cases, the quarterly income tax provision aligns with the estimated annual tax rate, updated each quarter based on revised full-year pre-tax book earnings. Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 21.5% and 20.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and 17.0% and 17.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The difference between our effective tax rate and the statutory rate is generally attributable to permanent differences and discrete items. The change in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in quarter-to-date pre-tax earnings, the impact of fixed dollar favorable permanent adjustments and changes in valuation allowance on the quarter. We continue to assess the realizability of certain federal and state deferred tax assets. Improved year-to-date profitability supported releases of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions, while valuation allowances increased in other jurisdictions where realization is not more likely than not.
14. Related Party Transactions
Our related party transactions consist primarily of transactions with our equity method investees (See Note 6). Transactions with our related parties were as follows for the periods presented (in millions):

Delek US Holdings, Inc. 2026 and 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plans (collectively, the "Incentive Plans")
On April 20, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), the Company's stockholders approved the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”), replacing the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”), under which no further awards will be made. The 2026 Plan permits grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based RSUs, and other forms of stock-based awards. Shares available for grant under the 2026 Plan consist of (i) 1,300,000 shares of common stock, (ii) 3,738,087 shares remaining available under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date, and (iii) any shares subject to outstanding Prior Plan awards that are subsequently forfeited, terminated, expired, lapsed without exercise (as applicable), or settled in cash.
Compensation expense related to equity-based awards granted under the Incentive Plans was $5.0 million and $15.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $6.5 million and $18.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses and operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2026, there was $31.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is management’s analysis of our financial performance and of significant trends that may affect our future performance. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2026 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). Those statements in the MD&A that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain.
Delek US Holdings, Inc. is a registrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol "DK". Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, the terms "we," "our," "us," "Delek" and the "Company" are used in this report to refer to Delek US Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for all periods presented. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our historically condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
The Company announces material information to the public about the Company, its products and services and other matters through a variety of means, including filings with the SEC, press releases, public conference calls, the Company’s website (www.delekus.com), the investor relations section of its website (ir.delekus.com), the news section of its website (www.delekus.com/news), and/or social media, including its X account (@DelekUSHoldings). The Company encourages investors and others to review the information it makes public in these locations, as such information could be deemed to be material information. Please note that this list may be updated from time to time.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects, and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements that refer to acquisitions, including any statements regarding the expected benefits, synergies, growth opportunities, impact on liquidity and prospects, and other financial and operating benefits thereof, statements regarding the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of, or expectations expressed with respect to, the outbreak of a pandemic and its impact on oil production and pricing, and statements regarding our efforts and plans in response to such events, the information concerning possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, including as the same may be impacted by any ongoing military conflict, such as the armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will or will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions or dispositions, statements of management’s goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "appears," "projects" and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
•volatility in our refining margins or fuel gross profit as a result of changes in the prices of crude oil, other feedstocks, and refined petroleum products;
•reliability of our operating assets;
•actions of our competitors and customers;
•changes in, or the failure to comply with, the extensive government regulations applicable to our industry segments, including current and future restrictions on commercial and economic activities in response to future public health crises;
•our ability to execute our long-term sustainability strategy and growth through acquisitions, such as the Gravity Water Intermediate Holdings LLC ("Gravity") acquisition (the "Gravity Acquisition"), and dispositions, and joint ventures, including our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, complete strategic transactions, safety initiatives and capital projects, realize expected synergies, cost savings and other benefits therefrom, return value to shareholders, or achieve operational efficiencies;
•diminishment in value of long-lived assets may result in an impairment in the carrying value of the assets on our balance sheet and a resultant loss recognized in the statement of operations;
•the impact on commercial activity and other economic effects of any widespread public health crisis, including uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of economic recovery following any such crisis;
•general economic and business conditions affecting the southern, southwestern, and western United States ("U.S"), particularly levels of spending related to travel and tourism;
•volatility under our derivative instruments;
•deterioration of creditworthiness or overall financial condition of a material counterparty (or counterparties);
•unanticipated increases in cost or scope of, or significant delays in the completion of, our capital improvement safety initiative and periodic turnaround projects;
•risks and uncertainties with respect to the quantities and costs of refined petroleum products supplied to our pipelines and/or held in our terminals;
•operating hazards, natural disasters, weather related disruptions, casualty losses, and other matters beyond our control;
•increases in our debt levels or costs;
•possibility of accelerated repayment on a portion of our Inventory Intermediation Agreement obligation if the purchase price adjustment feature triggers a change on the re-pricing dates;
•changes in our ability to continue to access the credit markets;
•compliance, or failure to comply, with restrictive and financial covenants in our various debt agreements;
•changes in our ability to pay dividends;

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary: Management's View of Our Business and Strategic Overview
Management's View of Our Business
We are an integrated downstream energy business focused on petroleum refining and the transportation, storage and wholesale distribution of crude oil, intermediate and refined products as well as wastewater processing, disposal, and recycling.
Business and Economic Environment Overview
Our focus on safe and reliable operations is a pillar which underlines all of our business activities. We continue to identify opportunities to mitigate market risk and focus on efforts that improve our overall cost structure without compromising operational excellence. Our disciplined approach to cost control, coupled with a focus on our enterprise optimization plan ("EOP") margin enhancements supported strong earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and proportional interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of equity method investments ("EBITDA") and cash flow, while our capital deployment remained aligned with our strategic priorities. We remain committed to building on the progress achieved through the EOP since 2024 and unlocking further free cash flow improvements across all business lines. In 2026, we completed the Big Spring Refinery turnaround safely, on budget and on-time, positioning us to maximize operations for the summer driving season. We also advanced our strong balance sheet initiatives, including issuing new 0% Convertible Notes due 2031, new 6.875% Notes due 2034, redeeming all 7.125% Notes due 2028 and a portion of the 8.625% Notes due 2029, and entering into amended and new credit facilities for Delek and Delek Logistics. Additionally, we executed asset purchase agreements with Delek Logistics, (collectively referred to as “the Intercompany Agreements”) which will return refining-related activities and assets back to our refining segment and create further economic independence for our Logistics business.
Global crude oil and refined product markets have experienced significant volatility in 2026, driven by geopolitical instability in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran and resulting disruptions to maritime transit through the Strait of Hormuz. During the third quarter of 2026, our Refining segment continued to benefit from a constructive margin environment compared to 2025, supported by record crack spreads and favorable crude oil differentials. The domestic West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") differentials compared to Brent continued to be favorable, and the WTI Midland to Cushing differential narrowed in the third quarter of 2026. Looking ahead, we expect North American refined product market fundamentals to remain a key area of focus for the foreseeable future, as regional supply and demand dynamics, refining capacity constraints and evolving global trade flows continue to influence market conditions and refining margins.
The near term economic outlook also remains uncertain due to our requirements to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Renewable Fuel Standard - 2 ("RFS-2") regulations. On August 3, 2026 EPA announced its final action on certain petitions for small refinery exemptions under the Renewable Fuel Standard program, which included a full exemption for the Krotz Springs refinery for the 2024 compliance year. On August 31, 2026 the EPA announced its action on petitions for small refinery exemptions under the 2025 compliance year, which included full exemptions for all four Delek refineries. The SREs resulted in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other of $334.7 million in the third quarter of 2026. We believe these actions reinforce the important role that SREs play in ensuring the RFS program appropriately recognizes the disproportionate economic hardship that is experienced by qualifying small refineries.
In response to uncertainty, we will continue to execute on our priorities of safe and reliable operations, advancing our EOP cost saving initiatives, and delivering shareholder value while maintaining our financial strength and flexibility. We continue to progress our business transformation focused on enterprise-wide opportunities to improve the efficiency of our cost structure and continue to advance our strategic initiatives aimed at long-term value creation.
We want to reward our shareholders with a disciplined and balanced capital allocation framework. As we strengthen our relative financial position, we believe a balanced approach between shareholder returns and balance sheet improvement is appropriate. As of September 30, 2026, we returned $116.8 million of capital in 2026 to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Our near-term focus is centered around the following: (1) operational excellence, (2) financial strength and flexibility, (3) strategic initiatives which includes unlocking the "sum of the parts" value of our existing business while identifying growth opportunities to enhance the Company's scale and diversify revenue streams, (4) continuing our EOP efforts to enhance margin and cash flow and (5) returns to investors. See further discussion in the "Strategic Objectives" section below.

Other 2026 Developments
Delek Debt Agreements
On September 29, 2026, Delek completed an offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties, which are expected to generally reduce potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon conversion, if any. Additional proceeds will be used to partially repay the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility.
37 |
Image3.jpg

Management's Discussion and Analysis
On May 15, 2026, Delek entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility. Proceeds and cash on hand were used to refinance the Company’s existing term loan facility. As a result of the refinancing effected pursuant to Amendment No. 1, outstanding term loans of the Company were reduced to an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million. Amendment No. 1, among other modifications, (i) extended the maturity of the Delek Term Credit Facility to May 15, 2032 and (ii) reduced the rate of interest on borrowings, at the Company’s election, to either term SOFR plus 300 basis points or base rate plus 200 basis points. The amendment also allows for up to $750.0 million in incremental loans subject to certain restrictions.
On April 9, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4” and, as amended, the "ABL Credit Agreement"). Amendment No. 4, among other modifications, (i) increased the revolving loan commitments from $1,100.0 million to $1,250.0 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Delek Revolving Credit Facility from October 26, 2027 to April 9, 2031, (iii) reduced the interest rate margins applicable to the Delek Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% and (iv) amended certain thresholds for obligations under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement.
Delek Logistics Intercompany Agreements
On January 30, 2026, we entered into the Intercompany Agreements, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire a Tyler refinery tank for total consideration of $19.0 million (the “Tyler Tank Purchase”) and El Dorado tank and terminal assets for total consideration of $66.0 million (the “El Dorado Terminal Purchase”). The Tyler Tank Purchase closed on April 1, 2026 with consideration paid through transfer of Delek Logistics common units, based on a 30-day volume weighted average unit price. The El Dorado Terminal Purchase is expected to close on October 1, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. In addition, pursuant to the Intercompany Agreements, Delek waived Omnibus fees for an aggregate of $4.0 million during the first two quarters of 2026.
These transactions with Delek Logistics have been eliminated in consolidation.
Delek Logistics Equity Offering
On August 14, 2026 Delek Logistics completed an underwritten offering of 4,600,000 common units representing limited interests in the Partnership at a price of $50 per unit. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility.
Delek Logistics Debt Agreement
On May 14, 2026, Delek Logistics sold $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Co-issuers 6.875% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Delek Logistics 2034 Notes”). Net proceeds were used to redeem the Delek Logistics 2028 Notes and a portion of the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes.
Cybersecurity Incident
In July 2026, we identified a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party accessed a single employee's account and copied certain files from our email and SharePoint environment. Upon discovery, we promptly contained the incident, disabled the affected credentials, and engaged a third-party forensic firm and outside legal counsel. The incident did not affect our refining or logistics operations, or financial reporting systems, and did not result in any loss of availability of our data. Management has determined, based on information known to date, that the incident is not material and is not reasonably likely to have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our assessment of applicable notification and other legal obligations remains ongoing. 
Information About Our Segments
We aggregated our operating segments into two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics.
Operations that are not specifically included in the reportable segments are included in Corporate, Other and Eliminations, which consist of our corporate activities, results of certain immaterial operating segments and intercompany eliminations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Refining Overview
The refining segment processes crude oil and other feedstocks for the manufacture of transportation motor fuels, including various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, asphalt, and other petroleum-based products that are distributed through owned and third-party product terminals. The refining segment has a combined nameplate capacity of 302,000 bpd as of September 30, 2026. A high-level summary of the refinery activities is presented below:
Tyler, Texas refinery
(the "Tyler refinery")
El Dorado, Arkansas refinery
(the "El Dorado refinery")

Relevant Crack Spread Benchmark
Gulf Coast 5-3-2
Gulf Coast 5-3-2 (1)
Gulf Coast 3-2-1 (2)
Gulf Coast 2-1-1 (3)
Marketing and Distribution
The refining segment's petroleum-based products are marketed primarily in the south central and southwestern regions of the United States, and the refining segment also ships and sells gasoline into wholesale markets in the southern and eastern United States. In addition, we sell motor fuels through our wholesale distribution network on an unbranded basis.
(1) While there is variability in the crude slate and the product output at the El Dorado refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to the U.S. Gulf Coast ("Gulf Coast") 5-3-2 crack spread because we believe it to be the most closely aligned benchmark.
(2) Our Big Spring refinery is capable of processing substantial volumes of sour crude oil, which has historically cost less than intermediate, and/or substantial volumes of sweet crude oil, and therefore the WTI Cushing/ West Texas Sour ("WTS") price differential, taking into account differences in production yield, is an important measure for helping us make strategic, market-respondent production decisions.
(3) The Krotz Springs refinery has the capability to process substantial volumes of light sweet crude oil to produce a high percentage of refined light products.
Our refining segment also owns two biodiesel facilities involved in the production of biodiesel fuels and related activities, located in Crossett, Arkansas and New Albany, Mississippi. During the second quarter of 2024, we made the decision to idle the biodiesel facilities, while exploring viable and sustainable alternatives. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we sold our Cleburne, Texas facility. In addition, the refining segment includes our wholesale crude operations and our 50% interest in a joint venture that owns asphalt terminals located in the southwestern region of the U.S.
Logistics Overview
Our logistics segment contains a full suite of gas, crude and water systems that gathers, transports and stores crude oil and natural gas; markets, distributes, transports and stores refined products; and disposes and recycles water in select regions of the southern United States, West Texas, New Mexico and North Dakota for our refining segment and third parties. It is comprised of the consolidated balance sheet and results of operations of Delek Logistics (NYSE: DKL), where we owned a 58.0% interest at September 30, 2026. Delek Logistics was formed by Delek in 2012 to own, operate, acquire and construct crude oil and refined products logistics and marketing assets. The logistics segment's gathering and processing business owns or leases capacity on approximately 390 miles of crude oil transportation pipelines, approximately 169 miles of refined product pipelines, and approximately 767 miles of crude oil gathering system. Additionally, in the Delaware Basin, we have been expanding our natural gas processing capabilities by constructing a new natural gas processing plant and adding acid gas injection and sour gas processing capabilities. This segment also includes water disposal and recycling operations, located in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico, the Midland Basin of Texas, and the Bakken Basin of North Dakota. The storage and transportation business owns or leases associated crude oil storage tanks. The logistics segment has an aggregate of approximately 11.3 million barrels of active shell capacity. It also owns and operates nine light product terminals and markets light products using third-party terminals. Logistics has strategic investments in pipeline joint ventures that provide access to pipeline capacity as well as the potential for earnings from joint venture operations. The logistics segment owns or leases approximately 161 tractors and 306 trailers used to haul primarily crude oil and other products for related and third parties.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Strategic Objectives
It is vitally important that our strategic objectives, especially in view of the evolutionary direction of our macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, involve a process of continuous evaluation of our business model in terms of cost structure, as well as long-term economic and operational sustainability. More consolidation in our industry is expected from increased cost pressures due in part to the regulatory environment continuing to move towards reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy in the long-term. However, we believe we are uniquely positioned as a leader in operating and excelling in niche markets and could continue capitalizing on our niche position by being the supplier of choice in our markets.
Key Objectives
Certain fundamental principles are foundational to our long-term strategy and direct us as we develop our strategic objectives. With that in mind, we have identified the following overarching key objectives:
I.    Operational Excellence
II.    Financial Strength and Flexibility - EOP
III.    Strategic Initiatives - "sum of the parts"
Operational Excellence
We are committed to operational excellence which includes maintaining safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible operations. It also encompasses the dedication and drive for constant improvement across our operations in reliability, safety, and efficiency. Delek prioritizes stewardship of the environment, and we focus on how to positively impact our shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities where we operate. We believe that focusing on people, processes and equipment will lead to improved utilization and yields and ultimately better employee retention and lower costs, which translates to improved returns for our shareholders. For 2026, we are focused on the following:

•Prioritize safety and environmental compliance through the continued implementation of foundational best practices to increase our ability to provide safe, compliant, and reliable operations.
•Focus on operational excellence by building out our operations centric area business teams, as well as other key competency training.
•Identify and execute on low-capital organic growth projects that improve yield and increase utilization.
•Continue our progression of digital system implementations that will do the following:
◦improve our ability to understand all aspects of our business as well as our ability to make real-time and forward-looking operational decisions; and
◦automate processes and shift operational roles to higher value-added activities.
Financial Strength and Flexibility
In our industry, as with many volatile businesses, it is very important to make capital investments with accretive returns and maintain a strong balance sheet. We want to reward our shareholders and investors with a disciplined and balanced capital allocation framework, which we believe will strengthen shareholder value by, among other things, a stable dividend complemented by opportunistic share repurchases. We are also committed to lowering costs and improving the efficiency of our cost structure in all aspects of our business. For 2026, we are focused on the following:
•Rewarding our shareholders and investors with a disciplined and balanced capital allocation framework, including opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt or opportunistically repurchasing shares with excess cash.
•Maintaining our successful efforts to date with the EOP, and expanding our cost saving initiatives with EOP 2.0. This includes leaner costs, including lower general and administrative expenses, lower operating expenses, specifically at our refineries, and lowering interest expense. The EOP also includes margin initiatives including accretive, minimal capital projects in our refining segment and commercial improvements through market optionality, improved Delek Logistics, and product slate optimization.
Strategic Initiatives
For 2026, we will continue to focus on furthering our "sum of the parts" efforts, focusing on the following:
•Execute on our strategic initiatives, which may include opportunities to monetize our investment in Delek Logistics. The goal being to help unlock value embedded in the Delek valuation by reducing Delek's ownership in Delek Logistics.
•Identify and evaluate investment opportunities that fit our sustainability view and integrate into our current asset footprint, including strategic investments or joint ventures in renewables or carbon capture and incubator investments in new technologies.

2026 Key Initiatives
2026 Strategic Developments
Operational ExcellenceFinancial Strength & FlexibilityStrategic Initiatives
Enterprise Optimization Plan
In 2024, we implemented additional cost reduction measures across the organization and announced an EOP which included initiatives focused on improving our financial health and ability to generate cash flows. In 2026, we are focused on maintaining the successful efforts achieved since 2024 and unlocking further free cash flow improvements across all lines of our business.üüü
Productive Capital Projects
We are committed to completing capital projects and turnarounds safely, effectively, and efficiently. In 2026, we completed the Big Spring Refinery turnaround on-time and on budget. In our logistics business, we also continue to execute on the projects required to become a full-suite crude, gas and water midstream services provider in the Permian Basin. üüü
Executing Strategic Transactions with Delek Logistics
On January 30, 2026, we entered into additional asset purchase agreements with Delek Logistics, pursuant to which we agreed to reacquire a Tyler refinery tank and El Dorado tank and terminal assets. The Tyler Tank Purchase closed on April 1, 2026 with payment made through the return of approximately 359.4 thousand Delek Logistics common units. These transactions put additional midstream commercial activities in Delek Logistics and bring refining related activities and assets back to the Refining Segment. Additionally, on January 1, 2026 we closed on the previously announced repurchase of the El Dorado rail facility. üü
Minimizing Financial Risk
On April 1, 2026, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge floating rate debt by exchanging interest rate cash flows, based on a notional amount from a floating rate to a fixed rate, which effectively fixed the variable Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest component on certain Delek debt. The aggregate notional amount under this agreement covers $200.0 million of the outstanding principal throughout the duration of the interest rate swap.
ü
Efficient Access to Capital
On September 29, 2026 Delek completed an offering of $460.0 million aggregate principal amount 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties, which are expected to generally reduce potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon conversion, if any. Additional proceeds will be used to pay down the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility.
ü
On August 14, 2026 Delek Logistics completed an underwritten offering of 4,600,000 common units representing limited interests in the Partnership at a price of $50 per unit. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility.ü
On May 15, 2026, Delek entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility. Proceeds and cash on hand were used to refinance the Company’s existing term loan facility. As a result of the refinancing effected pursuant to Amendment No. 1, outstanding term loans of the Company were reduced to an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million.

The amendment also allows for up to 750.0 million in incremental loans subject to certain restrictions.
ü
On May 14, 2026, Delek Logistics and its wholly owned subsidiary Delek Logistics Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and together with Delek Logistics, the “Co-issuers”), sold $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Co-issuers 6.875% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Delek Logistics 2034 Notes”). Net proceeds were used to redeem the Delek Logistics 2028 Notes and a portion of the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes.
ü
On April 9, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 4, among other modifications, (i) increased the revolving loan commitments from $1,100.0 million to $1,250.0 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Delek Revolving Credit Facility from October 26, 2027 to April 9, 2031, (iii) reduced the interest rate margins applicable to the Delek Revolving Credit Facility by 0.25% and (iv) amended certain thresholds for obligations under the Existing ABL Credit Agreement.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Market Trends
Our results of operations are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities, including, but not limited to, crude oil, gasoline, distillate fuel, biofuels, natural gas, and electricity, among others. Historically, the impact of commodity price volatility on our refining margins (as defined in our "Non-GAAP Measures" in MD&A Item 2), specifically as it relates to the price of crude oil as compared to the price of refined products and timing differences in the movements of those prices (subject to our inventory costing methodology), as well as location differentials, may be favorable or unfavorable compared to peers. Additionally, our refining margin profitability is impacted by regulatory factors, including the cost of renewable identification numbers ("RINs").
We have positioned the Company to continue to run safely, reliably, and environmentally responsibly while leveraging our Delek Logistics business. Crack spreads were higher in 2026 than 2025, and higher than any period in the past four years. RINs also reached pricing levels higher than any period in the past four years which negatively impacted our refining expenses. Many uncertainties remain in 2026 with respect to the global supply and demand of the crude oil and refined products markets heightened by the ongoing conflict in Iran and it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts this may have on our operations. Additionally, U.S. policy changes and escalating conflicts in the Middle East, Europe, and South America could potentially result in supply disruptions or further volatility in crude oil and refined products prices.
See below for further discussion on how certain key market trends impact our operating results.
Crude Prices
WTI crude oil represents the largest component of our crude slate at all of our refineries and can be sourced through our gathering channels or optimization efforts from Midland, Texas, Cushing, Oklahoma, or other locations. We manage our supply chain risk to ensure that we have the barrels to meet our crude slate consumption plan for each month through gathering supply contracts and throughput agreements on various strategic pipelines, some of which include those where we hold equity method investments. We manage market price risk on crude oil through financial derivative hedges, in accordance with our risk management strategies.
The table below reflects the quarterly average prices of WTI Midland and WTI Cushing crude oil for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.
2574
Crude Pricing Differentials
Historically, domestic refiners have benefited from the discount for WTI Cushing compared to Brent, a global benchmark crude. This generally leads to higher margins in our refineries, as refined product prices are influenced by Brent crude prices and the majority of our crude supply is WTI-linked. Because of our positioning in the Permian basin, including our access to significant sources of WTI Midland crude through our gathering system, we are even further benefited by discounts for WTI Midland/WTI Cushing differentials. When these discounts shrink or become premiums, our reliance on WTI-linked crude pricing, and specifically WTI Midland crude, can negatively impact our refining margins. Conversely, as these price discounts widen, so does our competitive advantage, created specifically by our access to WTI Midland crude sourced through our gathering systems.
The chart below illustrates the key differentials impacting our refining operations, including WTI Cushing to Brent, WTI Midland to WTI Cushing, and Louisiana Light Sweet crude oil ("LLS") to WTI Cushing for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.

Refined Product Prices
We are impacted by refined product prices in two ways: (1) in terms of the prices we are able to sell our refined product for in our refining segment, and (2) in terms of the cost to acquire the refined products to meet refining production shortfalls (e.g., when we have outages), or to acquire refined fuel products we sell to our wholesale customers in our logistics segment. These prices largely depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation.
Our refineries produce the following products:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The charts below illustrate the quarterly average prices of Gulf Coast Gasoline ("CBOB"), U.S. High Sulfur Diesel ("HSD") and U.S. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel ("ULSD") for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.
4842
Crack Spreads
Crack spreads are used as benchmarks for predicting and evaluating a refinery's product margins by measuring the difference between the market price of feedstocks/crude oil and the resultant refined products. Generally, a crack spread represents the approximate refining margin resulting from processing one barrel of crude oil into its outputs, generally gasoline and diesel fuel. During 2026, crack spreads have increased significantly, primarily due to tighter global refined product supplies resulting from refinery outages and disruptions in the Middle East, Russia and other regions, as well as geopolitical tensions and constraints on global refining capacity. These conditions have contributed to elevated gasoline and distillate crack spreads, particularly for diesel fuel. Crack spreads may continue to be volatile due to changes in global refined product supply and demand, refinery utilization, geopolitical developments, crude oil prices and other market factors outside of our control.
The table below reflects the quarterly average Gulf Coast 5-3-2 ULSD, 3-2-1 ULSD and 2-1-1 HSD/LLS crack spreads for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
RIN Volatility
Environmental regulations and the political environment continue to affect our refining margins in the form of volatility in the price of RINs. We enter into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs of our credits for commitments required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to blend biofuels into fuel products ("RINs Obligation"). On a consolidated basis, we work to manage our RINs Obligation in order to minimize the effect of RINs prices on our results. While we obtain RINs in our refining and logistics segments through our ethanol and biodiesel blending, our refining segment still must purchase additional RINs to satisfy its obligations. Additionally, our ability to obtain RINs through blending is limited by our refined product slate, blending capabilities and market constraints. The cost to purchase these additional RINs is a significant cash outflow for our business. Increases in the market prices of RINs generally adversely affect our results of operations through changes in fair value to our existing RINs Obligation, to the extent we do not have offsetting RINs inventory on hand or effective economic hedges through net forward purchase commitments. RINs prices are highly sensitive to regulatory and political influence and conditions, and therefore often do not correlate to movements in crude oil prices, refined product prices or crack spreads. Due to the volatility of RIN prices, we cannot predict future RIN compliance costs with certainty, and fluctuations in RIN prices could have significant adverse effects on our refining margins. During 2026, RIN prices have increased significantly, driven in part by regulatory uncertainty surrounding the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") Set 2 reallocation provisions. RIN prices may continue to experience volatility as a result of changes in laws and regulations, actions taken by the EPA, the granting of small refinery exemptions, decisions regarding the reallocation of exempted renewable fuel volumes, and other factors affecting the refining industry.
The chart below illustrates the volatility in RINs for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Energy Costs
Energy costs are a significant element of our refining segment's EBITDA and can significantly impact our ability to capture crack spreads, with natural gas representing the largest component. Natural gas prices are driven by supply-side factors such as the amount of natural gas production, level of natural gas in storage and import and export activity, while demand-side factors include variability of weather, economic growth and the availability and price of other fuels. Refiners and other large-volume fuel consumers may be more or less susceptible to volatility in natural gas prices depending on their consumption levels as well as their capabilities to switch to more economical sources of fuel/energy. Additionally, geographic location of facilities makes consumers vulnerable to price differentials of natural gas available at different supply hubs. Within Delek’s geographic footprint, we source the majority of our natural gas from the Gulf Coast, and secondarily from the Permian Basin, coinciding with the physical locations of our refineries. We manage our risk around natural gas prices by entering into variable and fixed-price supply contracts in both the Gulf and Permian Basin or by entering into derivative hedges based on forecasted consumption and forward curve prices, as appropriate, in accordance with our risk policy.
The chart below illustrates the quarterly average prices of Waha (Permian Basin) and Henry Hub (Gulf Coast) per million British Thermal Units ("MMBtu") for each of the quarterly periods in 2025 and for the three quarterly periods in 2026.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) operational measures to evaluate our operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:
•EBITDA - calculated as net income (loss) attributable to Delek adjusted to add back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and proportional interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of equity method investments; and
•Refining margin - calculated as gross margin (which we define as sales minus cost of sales) adjusted for operating expenses and depreciation and amortization included in cost of sales.
We believe these non-GAAP operational and financial measures are useful to investors, lenders, ratings agencies and analysts to assess our ongoing performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and they may obscure our underlying results and trends.
Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Refining segment EBITDA$1,327.2 $464.6 $1,962.4 $545.1 
Factors Impacting Refining Profitability
Our profitability in the refining segment is substantially determined by the difference between the cost of the crude oil feedstocks we purchase and the price of the refined products we sell, referred to as the "crack spread", "refining margin" or "refined product margin". Refining margin is used as a metric to assess a refinery's product margins against market crack spread trends, where "crack spread" is a measure of the difference between market prices for crude oil and refined products and is a commonly used proxy within the industry to estimate or identify trends in refining margins.
The cost to acquire feedstocks and the price of the refined petroleum products we ultimately sell from our refineries depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions such as hurricanes or tornadoes, local, domestic and foreign political affairs, global conflict, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation. Other significant factors that influence our results in the refining segment include operating costs (particularly the cost of natural gas used for fuel and the cost of electricity), seasonal factors, refinery utilization rates and planned or unplanned maintenance activities or turnarounds. Moreover, while the fluctuations in the cost of crude oil are typically reflected in the prices of light refined products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, the price of other residual products, such as asphalt, coke, carbon black oil and liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") are less likely to move in parallel with crude cost. This could cause additional pressure on our realized margin during periods of rising or falling crude oil prices.
Additionally, our margins are impacted by the pricing differentials of the various types and sources of crude oil we use at our refineries and their relation to product pricing. Our crude slate is predominantly comprised of WTI crude oil. Therefore, favorable differentials of WTI compared to other crude will favorably impact our operating results, and vice versa. Additionally, because of our gathering system presence in the Midland area and the significant source of crude specifically from that region into our network, a widening of the WTI Cushing less WTI Midland spread will favorably influence the operating margin for our refineries. Alternatively, a narrowing of this differential will have an adverse effect on our operating margins. Global product prices are influenced by the price of Brent, which is a global benchmark crude. Global product prices influence product prices in the U.S. As a result, our refineries are influenced by the spread between Brent and WTI Midland. The Brent less WTI Midland spread represents the differential between the average per barrel price of Brent crude oil and the average per barrel price of WTI Midland crude oil. A widening of the spread between Brent and WTI Midland will favorably influence our refineries' operating margins. Also, the Krotz Springs refinery is influenced by the spread between Brent and LLS. The Brent less LLS spread represents the differential between the average per barrel price of Brent and the average per barrel price of LLS crude oil. A discount in LLS relative to Brent will favorably influence the Krotz Springs refinery operating margin.
Finally, Refining EBITDA is impacted by regulatory costs associated with the cost of RINs as well as energy costs, including the cost of natural gas. In periods of unfavorable regulatory sentiment, RINs prices can increase at higher rates than crack spreads, or even when crack spreads are declining. This can be particularly impactful on smaller refineries, where the operating cost structure does not have as much scalability as larger refineries. Additionally, volatility in energy costs, which are captured in our operating expenses and impact our Refining EBITDA, can significantly impact our ability to capture crack spreads, with natural gas representing the most significant component. Within Delek’s geographic footprint, we source the majority of our natural gas from the Gulf Coast, and secondarily from the Permian Basin, and we do not currently have the capability at our refineries to switch our energy consumption to utilize alternative sources of fuel. For this reason, unfavorable Gulf Coast (Henry Hub) differentials can impact our crack spread capture.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The cost to acquire the refined fuel products we sell to our wholesale customers in our logistics segment largely depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation.
In addition to the above, it continues to be a strategic and operational objective to manage price and supply risk related to crude oil that is used in refinery production, and to develop strategic sourcing relationships. For that purpose, from a pricing perspective, we enter into commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil and ethanol, future sales of refined products or to fix margins on future production. We also enter into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage our RINs Obligation. Additionally, from a sourcing perspective, we often enter into purchase and sale contracts with vendors and customers or take physical or financial commodity positions for crude oil that may not be used immediately in production, but that may be used to manage the overall supply and availability of crude expected to ultimately be needed for production and/or to meet minimum requirements under strategic pipeline arrangements, and also to optimize and hedge availability risks associated with crude that we ultimately expect to use in production. Such transactions are inherently based on certain assumptions and judgments made about the current and possible future availability of crude. Therefore, when we take physical or financial positions for optimization purposes, our intent is generally to take offsetting positions in quantities and at prices that will advance these objectives while minimizing our positional and financial statement risk. However, because of the volatility of the market in terms of pricing and availability, it is possible that we may have material positions with timing differences or, more rarely, that we are unable to cover a position with an offsetting position as intended. Such differences could have a material impact on the classification of resulting gains/losses, assets or liabilities, and could also significantly impact Refining EBITDA.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Refining Segment Operational Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 versus the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Revenues
Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Revenues for the refining segment increased by $1,478.0 million, or 52.0%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the following:
•an increase in the average price of U.S. Gulf Coast gasoline of 58.2%, ULSD of 86.0% and U.S. Gulf Coast HSD of 86.3%; and
•an increase in sales volumes (including purchased products).
Net revenues included sales to our logistics segment of $116.3 million and $85.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. We eliminate this intercompany revenue in consolidation.
YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025
Revenues for the refining segment increased $2,839.4 million, or 34.8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the following:
•an increase in the average price of U.S. Gulf Coast gasoline of 40.3%, ULSD of 59.9%, and U.S. Gulf Coast HSD of 60.5%.
These increases were partially offset by the following:
•a decrease in sales volumes (including purchased products) primarily related to the Big Spring refinery turnaround in the first quarter of 2026.
Revenues included sales to our logistics segment of $373.4 million and $259.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We eliminate this intercompany revenue in consolidation.
Cost of Materials and Other
Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Cost of materials and other increased by $608.5 million, or 27.3%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the following:
•increases in the cost of WTI Cushing crude oil, from an average of $65.06 per barrel to an average of $85.79, or 31.9% and increases in the cost of WTI Midland crude oil, from an average of $65.76 per barrel to an average of $86.15, or 31.0%; and
•increased sales volume (including purchased products); and
•an increase in the price of RINs for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
These increases were partially offset by the following:
•small refinery exemptions received in the third quarter of 2026 resulting in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other of approximately $334.7 million compared to a reduction of $280.8 million for third quarter of 2025.
YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025
Cost of materials and other increased $1,409.4 million, or 19.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the following:
•increases in the cost of WTI Cushing crude oil, from an average of $66.74 per barrel to an average of $83.50, or 25.1% and increases in the cost of WTI Midland crude oil, from an average of $67.52 per barrel to an average of $84.47, or 25.1%; and
•an increase in the price of RINs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
The increases were partially offset by the following:
•small refinery exemptions received in the third quarter of 2026 resulting in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other of approximately $334.7 million compared to a reduction of $280.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; and
•a decrease in sales volumes (including purchased products) primarily related to the Big Spring refinery turnaround in the first quarter of 2026.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Our refining segment purchases finished product from our logistics segment and has multiple service agreements with our logistics segment which, among other things, require the refining segment to pay terminalling and storage fees based on the throughput volume of crude and finished product in the logistics segment pipelines and the volume of crude and finished product stored in the logistics segment storage tanks, subject to minimum volume commitments. These costs and fees were $184.2 million and $555.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $131.0 million and $370.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We eliminate these intercompany fees in consolidation.
Operating Expenses
Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Operating expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 0.4%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by employee expenses and certain variable costs.
YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025
Operating expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 0.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by the following:
•a decrease in outside services of $16.1 million primarily driven by the Big Spring refinery turnaround.
The decreases were partially offset by the following:
•an increase in employee expenses of $9.0 million and lease and rental expenses of $5.3 million.

Refining Margin
Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025
Refining segment margin increased by $869.5 million, or 141.0%, in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, with a refining margin percentage of 34.4% as compared to 21.7% for the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily driven by the following:
•a 181.4% increase in the 5-3-2 crack spread (the primary measure for the Tyler refinery and El Dorado refinery), a 178.2% increase in the average Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spread (the primary measure for the Big Spring refinery) and a 219.2% increase in the average Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread (the primary measure for the Krotz Springs refinery);
•increased sales volume (including purchased products); and
•small refinery exemptions received in the third quarter of 2026 resulting in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other of approximately $334.7 million compared to a reduction of $280.8 million for the third quarter of 2025.
YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025
Refining margin increased by $1,430.0 million, or 144.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with a refining margin percentage of 22.0% as compared to 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily driven by the following:
•a 128.0% increase in the Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread (the primary measure for the Tyler refinery and El Dorado refinery), a 124.8% increase in the average Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spread (the primary measure for the Big Spring refinery) and a 162.6% increase in the average Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread (the primary measure for the Krotz Springs refinery); and
•small refinery exemptions received in the third quarter of 2026 resulting in a reduction of our Consolidated Net RINs Obligation and therefore a reduction within Cost of materials and other of approximately $334.7 million compared to a reduction of $280.8 million for the third quarter of 2025.
These increases were partially offset by the following:
•a decrease in sales volumes (including purchased products) primarily related to the Big Spring refinery turnaround in the first quarter of 2026.

(3)     Consists of terminalling throughputs at our Tyler, Big Spring, Big Sandy and Mount Pleasant, Texas terminals, El Dorado and North Little Rock, Arkansas terminals and Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee terminals.
Logistics revenue is largely based on fixed-fee or tariff rates charged for throughput volumes running through our logistics network, where many of those volumes are contractually protected by minimum volume commitments ("MVCs"). To the extent that our logistics volumes are not subject to MVCs, our Logistics revenue may be negatively impacted in periods where our customers are experiencing economic pressures or reductions in demand for their products. Additionally, certain of our throughput arrangements contain deficiency credit provisions that may require us to defer excess MVC fees collected over actual throughputs to apply toward MVC deficiencies in future periods. With respect to our equity method investments in pipeline joint ventures, our earnings from those investments (which is based on our pro rata ownership percentage of the joint venture's recognized net income or loss) are directly impacted by the operations of those joint ventures. Items impacting the joint venture net income (loss) may include (but are not limited to) the following: long-term throughput contractual arrangements and related MVCs and, in some cases, deficiency credit provisions; the demand for walk-up nominations; applicable rates or tariffs; long-lived asset or other impairments assessed at the joint venture level; and pipeline releases or other contingent liabilities. With respect to our West Texas marketing activities, our profitability is dependent upon the cost of landed product versus the rack price of refined product sold. Our logistics segment is generally protected from commodity price risk because inventory is purchased and then immediately sold at the rack.

EBITDA increased by $10.0 million, or 9.2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by the following:
•an increase in wholesale margins of $5.49 per barrel; and
•increased revenue from crude gathering.
The increases was partially offset by the following:
•lower revenue due to the termination of the East Texas Marketing Agreement to Delek Holdings effective January 1, 2026.
YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025
EBITDA increased by $36.1 million, or 12.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by the following:
•a $2.00 per barrel increase in wholesale margins; and
•increased revenue from crude gathering.
The increases were partially offset by the following:
•lower revenue due to the termination of the East Texas Marketing Agreement to Delek Holdings effective January 1, 2026.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Capital
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are
•cash generated from our operating activities;
•borrowings under our debt facilities; and
•potential issuances of additional equity and debt securities.
At September 30, 2026, total liquidity was $3,746.7 million, consisting primarily of $2,411.6 million in unused credit commitments under our revolving credit facilities (as discussed in Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and $1,335.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Unused revolving commitments of $1,300.0 million are held by or available only to Delek Logistics and its subsidiaries and are not available to fund our obligations or those of our other subsidiaries. Excluding Delek Logistics, our liquidity at September 30, 2026 was $2,397.7 million, consisting of $1,286.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1,111.6 million of unused commitments under the Delek Revolving Credit Facility. Historically, we have generated sufficient cash from operations to fund working capital requirements, pay quarterly cash dividends, repurchase common stock and fund capital expenditures. On October 29, 2026, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.300 per share of our common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, 695,410 and 1,138,303 shares, respectively, of our common stock were repurchased and canceled at the time of the transaction for an aggregate consideration of $50.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, there was $394.2 million of authorization remaining under Delek's aggregate stock repurchase program.
Other funding sources including borrowings under existing credit agreements and issuance of equity and debt securities have been utilized to meet our funding requirements and support our growth capital projects and acquisitions. We have historically been able to source funding at terms that reflect market conditions, our financial position and our credit ratings and expect future funding sources to be at terms that are sustainable and profitable for the Company. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of future debt or equity financings or whether such financings can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us; any execution of such financing activities will be dependent on the contemporaneous availability of functioning debt or equity markets. Additionally, new debt financing activities will be subject to the satisfaction of any debt incurrence limitation covenants in our existing financing agreements. Our debt limitation covenants in our existing financing documents are usual and customary for credit agreements of our type and reflective of market conditions at the time of their execution. Our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, pay dividends, and repurchase common stock will depend on future operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions in the oil industry, including oil prices and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.
As of September 30, 2026, we believe we were in compliance with all of our debt maintenance covenants, where the most significant long-term obligation subject to such covenants was the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility (see further discussion in Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Additionally, we were in compliance with covenants during the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Failure to meet the incurrence covenants could impose certain incremental restrictions on our ability to incur new debt and also may limit whether and the extent to which we may pay dividends, as well as impose additional restrictions on our ability to repurchase our stock, make new investments and incur new liens (among others). Such restrictions would generally remain in effect until such a quarter that we return to compliance under the applicable incurrence based covenants. In the event that we are subject to these incremental restrictions, we believe that we have sufficient current and alternative sources of liquidity, including (but not limited to): available borrowings under our existing Delek Revolving Credit Facility, and for Delek Logistics, under its Delek Logistics Revolving Facility; the allowance to incur an additional $750.0 million of secured debt under the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility (see further discussion of these facilities in Note 9 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q); the ability to nominate each month whether to include volumes related to the Krotz Springs, El Dorado and Big Spring refineries for funding under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement (as defined in Note 8 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q); as well as the possibility of obtaining other secured and unsecured debt, raising capital through equity issuance, or taking advantage of transactional financing opportunities such as sale-leasebacks or joint ventures, as otherwise contemplated and allowed under our incurrence covenants.

Total Financing activities(99.1)443.3 
Net increase (decrease)$709.3 $(104.7)
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Continuing Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $1,291.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net cash provided of $34.4 million for the comparable period of 2025. The increases were a result of cash receipts from customers and cash payments to suppliers and for salaries resulting in a net $1,292.0 million increase in cash provided by operating activities and a reduction in cash paid for debt interest of $25.2 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cash taxes paid of $66.3 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Continuing Operations
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $483.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $581.0 million in the comparable period of 2025. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the Gravity Acquisition in 2025 for $181.2 million offset by a $63.3 million increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Continuing Operations
Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $99.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to cash provided of $443.3 million in the comparable 2025 period. The decrease in cash provided was primarily due to net proceeds on term debt of $386.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net proceeds of $692.9 million in the comparable 2025 period, net payments on product and other financing arrangements of $177.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net proceeds of $216.8 million in the comparable 2025 period, payments of $44.7 million for deferred financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to deferred financing costs of $10.9 million in the comparable 2025 period, payments of $34.3 million for capped call transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 with none purchased in the comparable 2025 period and payments of $70.0 million for the repurchase of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the repurchase of $59.4 million in the comparable 2025 period.
These decreases in cash provided were partially offset by proceeds from the Delek Logistics equity offerings of $220.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and net payments on long-term revolvers of $211.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net payments of $278.6 million in the comparable 2025 period.
Cash Position and Indebtedness
As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,335.1 million, and total long-term indebtedness was approximately $3,389.8 million, net of deferred financing costs and debt discount of $68.1 million. Letters of credit issued totaled approximately $138.4 million, and unused credit commitments or borrowing base availability, as applicable, under our revolving credit facilities was approximately $2,411.6 million. The increase of $174.6 million in total long-term principal indebtedness as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 resulted primarily from issuance of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes and Delek Logistics 2034 Notes offset by a decrease in net borrowings under the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility, decreased borrowings under the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility, partial redemption of the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes and redemption of the Delek Logistics 2028 Notes. As of September 30, 2026, our total long-term indebtedness (as defined in Note 9 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) consisted of the following:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
•the Delek Revolving Credit Facility with no outstanding borrowings (maturity of April 9, 2031);
•aggregate principal of $847.9 million under the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility (maturity of May 15, 2032 and effective interest of 7.77%);
•aggregate principal of $460.0 million under the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes (maturity of November 1, 2031 and effective interest of 0.00%);
•the Delek Logistics Revolving Facility with no outstanding borrowings (maturity of March 26, 2031);
•aggregate principal of $650.0 million under the Delek Logistics 2029 Notes (due in 2029, with effective interest rate of 8.80%);
•aggregate principal of $700.0 million under the Delek Logistics 2033 Notes (due in 2033, with effective interest rate of 7.63%); and
•aggregate principal of $800.0 million under the Delek Logistics 2034 Notes (due in 2034, with effective interest rate of 7.15%).
We also utilize supplemental financing arrangements to fund operating assets or, from time to time, to monetize assets not needed in the near term when internal cost of capital and other criteria are met. Such arrangements include our inventory intermediation arrangement, which finances a significant portion of our first-in, first-out inventory at the refineries and, from time to time, RINs or other non-inventory product financing liabilities and funded letters of credit. Our long-term inventory intermediation obligation with Citigroup Energy Inc. ("Citi") was $129.5 million at September 30, 2026. See Note 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our Inventory Intermediation Agreement. Product financing liabilities, consisting primarily of RIN financings, totaled $184.4 million as of September 30, 2026, all of which is due within the next 12 months. See further description of these types of arrangements in the Environmental Credits and Related Regulatory Obligations accounting policy disclosed in Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For both arrangements and the related commitments, see also our "Cash Requirements" section below.
Debt Ratings
We receive debt ratings from the major U.S. credit rating agencies. In assigning these ratings, the agencies consider a number of qualitative and quantitative items including, but not limited to, commodity pricing levels, our liquidity, asset quality, reserve mix, debt levels and seniorities, cost structure, planned asset sales and production growth opportunities.
There are no "rating triggers" in any of our contractual debt obligations that would accelerate scheduled maturities should our debt rating fall below a specified level. However, a downgrade could adversely impact our interest rate on new credit facility borrowings and the ability to economically access debt markets in the future. Additionally, any rating downgrades may increase the likelihood of us having to post additional letters of credit or cash collateral under certain contractual arrangements.
Capital Spending
A key component of our long-term strategy is our capital expenditure program. The following table summarizes our actual capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, by operating segment and major category (in millions):

Management's Discussion and Analysis
(1) During the second quarter of 2026, we revised our 2026 full-year capital forecast to include a low and high range for each segment to better reflect the range of potential outcomes based on management's current estimates for the remainder of the year.
(2) Amounts exclude capitalized interest and internal labor costs of $32.4 million and $23.5 million in specialized project financing not included in the forecast.
The amount of our capital expenditure forecast is subject to change due to unanticipated increases in the cost, scope, and completion time for our capital projects and subject to the changes and uncertainties discussed under the 'Forward-Looking Statements' section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For further information, please refer to our discussion in Item 1A. Risk Factors, of our December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For additional information, see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
(2) Amounts reflect future estimated lease payments under operating leases having remaining non-cancellable terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2026.
(3) We have purchase commitments to secure certain quantities of crude oil, finished product and other resources used in production at both fixed and market prices. We have estimated future payments under the market-based agreements using current market rates. Excludes purchase commitments in buy-sell transactions which have matching notional amounts with the same counterparty and are generally net settled in exchanges.
(4) Balances consist of obligations under RINs product financing arrangements, as described in the ''Environmental Credits and Related Regulatory Obligations" accounting policy included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(5) Balances consist of contractual obligations under agreements with third parties (not including Delek Logistics) for the transportation of crude oil to our refineries.
(6) Balances consist of contractual obligations under the Citi Inventory Intermediation Agreement, including principal obligation for the Baseline Volume Step-Out Liability and other recurring fees. For additional information, see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
(7) Amounts reflect a rebate arrangement included in the long-term agreement with Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA) entered into in conjunction with the sale of our retail fuel and convenience stores as well as certain underground storage tank cleanup obligations. For additional information, see our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Other Cash Requirements
Our material short-term cash requirements under contractual obligations are presented above, and we expect to fund the majority of those requirements with cash flows from operations. Our other cash requirements consisted of operating activities, capital expenditures and our long-term exchange contract. Operating activities include cash outflows related to payments to suppliers for crude and other inventories (which are largely reflected in our contractual purchase commitments in the table above) and payments for salaries and other employee related costs. Cash outlays in 2027 are planned to include incentive compensation payments that were earned and accrued in 2026. In line with our long-term sustainable strategy, future cash requirements will include initiatives to build on our long-term sustainable business model and sum of the parts initiatives. Our long-term exchange contract relates to the return of approximately 1.2 million barrels of crude in 2028.
Refer to the cash flow section for our operating activities spend during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. While many of the expenses related to the operating activities are variable in nature, some of the expenditures can be somewhat fixed in the short-term due to forward planning on our level of activity.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Refer to the 'Capital Spending' section for our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and our anticipated cash requirements for planned capital expenditures for the full year 2026.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Changes in commodity prices (mainly crude oil and refined products) and interest rates are our primary sources of market risk. When we make the decision to manage our market exposure, our objective is generally to avoid losses from adverse price changes, realizing we will not obtain the gains of beneficial price changes.
Price Risk Management Activities
At times, we enter into the following instruments/transactions in order to manage our market-indexed pricing risk: commodity derivative contracts which we use to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil and ethanol, future sales of refined products or to fix margins on future production; and future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs associated with our RINs Obligations and meet the definition of derivative instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). In accordance with ASC 815, all of these commodity contracts and future purchase commitments are recorded at fair value, and any change in fair value between periods has historically been recorded in the profit and loss section of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Occasionally, at inception, the Company will elect to designate the commodity derivative contracts as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. Gains or losses on commodity derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and, ultimately, when the forecasted transactions are completed in net revenues or cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The following table sets forth information relating to our open commodity derivative contracts, excluding our trading derivative contracts (which are discussed separately below), as of September 30, 2026 ($ in millions):

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Interest Rate Risk
We have market exposure to changes in interest rates relating to our outstanding floating rate borrowings, which totaled approximately $847.9 million as of September 30, 2026.
We help manage this risk through interest rate swap agreements that we may periodically enter into in order to modify the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding long-term debt. In accordance with ASC 815, all interest rate hedging instruments are recorded at fair value and any changes in the fair value between periods are recognized in earnings. We expect that any interest rate derivatives held will reduce our exposure to short-term interest rate movements. As of September 30, 2026, we had one floating-to-fixed interest rate derivative agreement in place for a notional amount of $200.0 million, which matures in April 2028. The estimated fair value of our interest rate derivative position was an asset of $0.6 million as of September 30, 2026.
The annualized impact of a hypothetical one percent change in interest rates on our floating rate debt, after considering the interest rate swap, outstanding as of September 30, 2026 would be to change interest expense by approximately $6.5 million.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Inventory Intermediation Agreement under which we pay a time value of money charge based on SOFR.
Commodity Derivatives Trading Activities
From time to time, we enter into active trading positions in a variety of commodity derivatives, which include forward physical contracts, swap contracts, exchange contracts, option contracts and futures contracts. These trading activities are undertaken by using a range of contract types in combination to create incremental gains by capitalizing on crude oil supply and pricing seasonality. These contracts are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. In April 2026, Delek entered into a contract to exchange crude oil barrels. Under the arrangement, the counterparty agreed to deliver 1.0 million barrels to Delek in the second quarter of 2026, with a return of approximately 1.2 million barrels in 2028. The arrangement is accounted for as a derivative, indexed to forward crude pricing and was a liability of $88.9 million as of September 30, 2026. We had no other outstanding trading commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2026.

Other Information
Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, in September 2025, our subsidiary Alon Refining Krotz Springs, Inc. (“Alon Krotz Springs”) filed a petition for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “D.C. Court of Appeals”) (case no. 25-1187, consolidated with No. 25-1197) challenging the EPA’s decision that the Krotz Springs refinery was ineligible for a small refinery exemption under the Clean Air Act’s Renewable Fuel Standard program for the 2024 compliance year. On April 7, 2026, the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Alon Krotz Springs and the co-petitioner, holding that the EPA’s denial of the small refinery exemption applications was contrary to the plain language of the agency’s own 2014 Eligibility Regulation. The D.C. Court of Appeals vacated the EPA’s orders denying the exemption applications for the 2024 compliance year and remanded the matter to the EPA for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. On August 3, 2026 the EPA granted a full exemption with respect to the Krotz Springs refinery’s 2024 Renewable Fuel Standard obligations.
Other claims we are pursuing against the EPA include a proceeding by our subsidiaries Alon Refining Krotz Springs, Inc., Delek Refining, Ltd., Lion Oil Company, LLC and Alon USA, LP in the D.C. Court of Appeals (case numbers 25-1229, 1230, 1231, 1245) filed in October 2025 seeking review of the EPA’s decision to refund expired RINs for the 2019 to 2023 compliance years, and a proceeding by Alon USA, LP in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (No. 25-60584) filed in October 2025 with a protective petition filed in the D.C. Court of Appeals (case no. 25-1246) seeking review of the EPA’s decision denying an exemption on the 2020 exemption petition of the Big Spring Refinery.
In addition, in May 2026, the Company filed a petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit challenging the EPA's final rule reallocating small refinery exemption volumes from prior compliance years into the annual Renewable Fuel Standard volume obligations for the 2026 and 2027 compliance years (the "Set 2 Rule"). We are one of numerous refining companies that are parties to this litigation. The petitions for review were filed, and the court has not yet entered a scheduling order.
Aside from the matters discussed above and disclosure updated in Note 12, there have been no material developments to the proceedings previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2026 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the risk factors identified in the Company’s fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the exception of the following:
Developments which impact the global oil markets have had, may continue to have, or may have an adverse impact on our business, our future results of operations and our overall financial performance.
While our operations are focused primarily in the Gulf Coast Region (PADD III), our business is impacted by events and developments that impact the global markets for oil and other energy products. Any regional or global event or development that destabilizes worldwide economic and commercial activity, financial markets, or the demand for and prices of oil and gas products could materially adversely affect our business and operations. In recent years, the outbreak of a pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine War, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC")-Russia relationship, and the conflicts in the Middle East have been sources of uncertainty in the global oil markets, substantial global supply chain issues, and significant disruptions in the labor market.
Global economic growth drives demand for energy from all sources, including fossil fuels. Should the U.S. or global economies experience weakness, demand for energy may decline. Should growth in global energy production outstrip demand, excess supplies may arise. Declines in demand and excess supplies may result in accompanying declines in commodity prices and deterioration of our financial position along with our ability to operate profitably and our ability to obtain financing to support operations. Conversely, should demand for energy outstrip global supply, commodity prices are likely to rise. With respect to our business, we have experienced periodic declines in demand thought to be associated with slowing economic growth in certain markets coupled with new oil and gas supplies coming on line and other circumstances beyond our control that resulted in oil and gas supply exceeding global demand which, in turn, resulted in steep declines in prices of oil and natural gas. At times, we have also experienced declines in the supply of inputs thought to be associated with supply chain issues and disruptions in the labor market. There can be no assurance as to how long such uncertainty will persist or that a recurrence of price weakness will not arise in the future.
The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, including the disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, has introduced significant volatility into global energy markets, causing crude oil prices to spike materially from levels seen at the start of 2026. Although we do

not have direct operations or exposure in the Middle East, sustained commodity price volatility and broader macroeconomic uncertainty could indirectly affect our business, including demand for our services. In addition, elevated energy prices and supply uncertainty may affect refinery utilization rates, which could reduce demand for the transportation, storage and terminalling services we provide under our commercial agreements. The ultimate duration and resolution of the conflict, including the status of the Strait of Hormuz and any ceasefire arrangements, remains uncertain.
The ultimate extent of the impact of volatile conditions in the oil and gas industry on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend largely on future developments which are outside of our control, including the extent and duration of any price reductions, any additional decisions by OPEC and disputes between the members of other leading oil producing countries (together with OPEC, “OPEC+”). Furthermore, developments in the global oil markets may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described below.
Acts of terror or sabotage, threats of war, armed conflict, or war may have an adverse impact on our business, our future results of operations and our overall financial performance.
Acts of sabotage or terrorist attacks (including cyber-attacks), threats of war, armed conflict, or war, as well as events occurring in response to or in connection with them, including political instability in significant oil producing regions such as the Middle East, Africa, the former Soviet Union and South America, may harm our business or have an adverse impact on our future results of operations and financial condition. This risk, and others dependent on geopolitical factors, may be heightened as a result of ongoing conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflicts in the Middle East and events occurring in response thereto.
Energy-related assets (which could include refineries, pipelines and terminals) may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other possible targets in the U.S. direct attack on our assets, or the assets of others used by us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Uncertainty surrounding new or continued global hostilities or other sustained military campaigns, sanctions brought by the U.S. and other countries, and the possibility that infrastructure facilities could be direct targets of, or indirect casualties of, an act of terror, armed conflict or war may affect our operations in unpredictable ways, including disruptions of crude oil supplies and markets for refined products. In addition, any terrorist attack, armed conflict, war or political instability in significant oil producing regions such as the Middle East, Africa, the former Soviet Union and South America could have an adverse impact on energy prices, including prices for crude oil, other feedstocks and refined petroleum products, and an adverse impact on the margins from our refining and petroleum product marketing operations. The long-term impacts of terrorist attacks and the threat of future terrorist attacks on the energy transportation industry in general, and on us in particular, are unknown. Increased security measures taken by us as a precaution against possible terrorist attacks or vandalism could result in increased costs to our business. In addition, disruption or significant increases in energy prices could result in government-imposed price controls. Any one of, or a combination of, these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks or acts of sabotage could make certain types of insurance more difficult for us to obtain. Moreover, the insurance that may be available to us may be significantly more expensive than our existing insurance coverage. Instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism, sabotage or war could also affect our ability to raise capital, including our ability to repay or refinance debt.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of, or to repurchase, our 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031, and our indebtedness could limit our flexibility.
In September 2026, we issued $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Delek 2031 Convertible Notes”). Upon conversion, we are required to pay cash for each $1,000 of principal amount converted in an amount equal to at least the lesser of $1,000 and the sum of the daily conversion values, and we may settle any amount above principal in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of the two. Holders may also require us to repurchase their notes for cash upon a fundamental change at 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. We may not have sufficient cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make these payments, and our ability to make them may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by the agreements governing our other indebtedness. A default under the indenture, or a fundamental change itself, could lead to a default under the agreements governing our other indebtedness, which could in turn result in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
The Delek 2031 Convertible Notes increased our consolidated indebtedness. As of September 30, 2026, our total consolidated indebtedness for borrowed money was $3,389.8 million, of which $1,264.2 million was secured. Our indebtedness could increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to obtain additional financing, require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow to debt service, and limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business. The indenture governing the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes does not restrict us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness (including secured indebtedness), paying dividends or repurchasing securities, although our Delek Term Loan Credit Facility and Delek Revolving Credit Facility contain certain limitations.
The Delek 2031 Convertible Notes are effectively junior to our secured indebtedness and structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee them, including Delek Logistics.
The Delek 2031 Convertible Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our subsidiaries that guarantees the Delek Term Loan Credit Facility or the Delek Revolving Credit Facility. The notes and the guarantees are
73 |

Other Information
effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and the notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee them. As of September 30, 2026, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $2.15 billion of indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding, substantially all of which was indebtedness of Delek Logistics and its subsidiaries. The agreements governing Delek Logistics’ indebtedness contain covenants that may restrict its ability to make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us. In addition, a subsidiary’s guarantee may be released without the consent of the holders of the notes in certain circumstances, including if the subsidiary ceases to guarantee our credit facilities.
If the conversion conditions are met, the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes could adversely affect our liquidity and our reported results.
If the conditional conversion feature of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes is triggered, holders will be entitled to convert their notes during specified periods at their option, and we would be required to pay cash for the principal amount of any notes converted, which could adversely affect our liquidity. Even if holders do not elect to convert, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital. Because the principal amount of the notes must be paid in cash upon conversion, the shares underlying the notes are included in diluted earnings per share only to the extent the conversion value exceeds the principal amount; as a result, our diluted earnings per share could be lower than if we had not issued the notes, even when the notes are not convertible. See Notes 4 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Conversion of the Delek 2031 Convertible Notes may dilute our stockholders and depress the price of our common stock, and the related capped call transactions may not fully offset dilution and expose us to counterparty risk.
To the extent we settle any portion of our conversion obligation in shares of our common stock, conversions will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders, and sales in the public market of shares issued upon conversion could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. The existence of the notes may also encourage short selling by market participants because conversion of the notes could be used to satisfy short positions. The initial conversion price of the notes is approximately $85.31 per share.
In connection with the offering, we entered into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions at a cost of approximately $34.3 million. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or offset cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, in each case up to an initial cap price of approximately $117.09 per share. The capped call transactions do not reduce dilution above the cap price. The option counterparties or their affiliates are likely to enter into, modify and unwind hedging transactions in our common stock and other securities of ours, including in connection with conversions of the notes, and this activity could increase or decrease the market price of our common stock and the notes and, during any observation period relating to a conversion, affect the number of shares and value of the consideration received by converting holders. The option counterparties are financial institutions, and our exposure to them is unsecured. If an option counterparty defaults or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we would be an unsecured creditor with a claim equal to our exposure at that time, and we could suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate. The terms of the capped call transactions may also be adjusted in certain corporate events and may not operate as we intend.

Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).
(ii)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts with respect to any amounts due upon conversion of the Notes in a manner other than as provided in Section 2.03(c)(i); provided that such manner would be permitted under the terms of this Indenture if such amounts due upon conversion were not Defaulted Amounts.
(iii)    The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Defaulted Amounts, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Defaulted Amounts owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Defaulted Amounts.
Section 2.04.    Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes
. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual, facsimile or other electronic signature of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Assistant Secretary, Vice President and Treasurer, or Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order (such Company Order to include the terms of the Notes) for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder; provided that, subject to Section 17.05, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company with respect to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Notes.
Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.10), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated
    
19


has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.
Section 2.05.    Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary
.
(a)    The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
    
20


No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange for other Notes or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for required repurchase upon a Fundamental Change (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes selected for an Optional Redemption or a Cleanup Redemption in accordance with Article 16, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part pursuant to an Optional Redemption.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b)    So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. Each Global Note shall bear the legend required on a Global Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the applicable procedures of the Depositary therefor.
(c)    Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the Restrictive Notes Legend (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that is required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including the Restrictive Notes Legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(c) and Section 2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
Until the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is the later of (1) the date that is one year after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 or any successor provision thereto, and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities
    
21


issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Restrictive Notes Legend”) (unless such Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee):
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(1)    REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2)    AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF DELEK US HOLDINGS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
(A)    TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B)    PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(C)    TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(D)    PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT
    
22


TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.
Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed
    
23


within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and, subject to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.
Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.
At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased upon a Fundamental Change, redeemed or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.
None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary or for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to those interests.
(d)    Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such

Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of a Note that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(1)    REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2)    AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF DELEK US HOLDINGS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF THE SERIES OF NOTES UPON THE CONVERSION OF WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
(A)    TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B)    PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(C)    TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(D)    PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY
    
25


REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
Any such Common Stock (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
(e)    Any Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144).
Section 2.06.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes
. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, claim, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the
    
26


Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, claim, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.07.    Temporary Notes
. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same
    
27


conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.08.    Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc.
The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment at maturity, repurchase upon a Fundamental Change, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion (other than any Notes exchanged pursuant to Section 14.12), if surrendered to the Company or any of its agents that it controls or Subsidiaries, to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it in accordance with its customary procedures, upon the Company’s written request. Except for any Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture, no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver evidence of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order.
Section 2.09.    CUSIP Numbers
. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere; provided, further, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.10.    Additional Notes; Repurchases
. The Company may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price, interest, if any, accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax or securities law purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Prior to the issuance of any such additional
    
28


Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may at any time and from time to time, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase, exchange or otherwise acquire or retire the Notes by means other than an Optional Redemption or a Cleanup Redemption pursuant to Article 16, upon such terms, at such prices and with such considerations that the Company may determine, including, without limitation, in negotiated transactions, open market purchases, by tender offer, through counterparties to private agreements or any other transactions, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, with one or more Holders and/or beneficial owners of the Notes, in each case, without the consent of or notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company may, at its option, reissue, resell or surrender to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes that it repurchases, in the case of a reissuance or resale, so long as such Notes do not constitute “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144) upon such reissuance or resale; provided that if any such reissued or resold Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax or securities law purposes, such reissued or resold Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Any Notes that the Company may repurchase (other than in connection with a Fundamental Change or upon redemption) shall be considered outstanding for all purposes under this Indenture (other than, at any time when such Notes are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as set forth in Section 8.04) unless and until such time as the Company surrenders them to the Trustee for cancellation and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall cancel all Notes so surrendered.
ARTICLE 3

(a) This Indenture and the Notes shall cease to be of further effect when (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (x) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced, paid or converted as provided in Section 2.06 and (y) Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 4.04(d)) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) the Company has deposited with the Trustee, or, in the case of shares of Common Stock to satisfy conversions, the transfer agent for the Common Stock, or delivered to Holders, as applicable, after the Notes have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, cash or, solely in the case of conversion, cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and all other sums due and payable under this Indenture or the Notes by the Company; and (b) the Trustee upon request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate and at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, when the
    
29


Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive. Upon discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, the Guarantees shall be discharged and shall be of no further effect.
ARTICLE 4

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.01.    Payment of Principal and Special Interest
. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.
Any applicable withholding taxes (including backup withholding) may be withheld from interest, if any, and payments upon conversion, repurchase or maturity of the Notes, or if any withholding taxes (including backup withholding) are paid on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner, those withholding taxes may be withheld from, or set off against, payments of cash or Common Stock, if any, payable on the Notes (or, in some circumstances, any payments on the Common Stock) or sales proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, the Holder or beneficial owner.
Section 4.02.    Maintenance of Office or Agency
.

Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor), it being understood that the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether such filings have been made.
(c)    Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to exclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).

Such Special Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes.

(e)    If, and for so long as, the Restrictive Notes Legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(c) has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the 380th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company shall pay Special Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the Restrictive Notes Legend on the Notes has been removed in accordance with Section 2.05(c), the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that no Special Interest shall accrue or be owed pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) until the fifteenth Business Day following written notification to the Company by the Trustee (at the direction of any Holder) or any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes requesting that the Company comply with its obligations described in this Section 4.06(e) (which notice may be given at any time after the 330th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes), it being understood and agreed that in no event shall Special Interest accrue or be owed pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) for any period prior to the 380th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes.
(f)    Special Interest will be payable in arrears on each Special Interest Payment Date as set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, that if a failure to file during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes giving rise to the Company’s obligation to pay Special Interest pursuant to Section 4.06(d) initially occurs on or after the close of business on a Special Interest Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, then the amount of Special Interest accruing as a result of such failure to file in respect of the period from, and including, the first date such failure occurs to, but excluding, such Special Interest Payment Date shall not be payable on such Special Interest Payment Date but shall instead be deemed to accrue entirely on such Special Interest Payment Date and be payable on the Special Interest Payment Date next succeeding such corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, and no special interest shall accrue in respect of such delay.
(g)    Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Special Interest that is payable in accordance with Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Special Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election pursuant to Section 6.03. However, in no event shall Special Interest payable for the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to
    
34


file (other than Current Reports on Form 8-K) with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to the Reporting Grace Period), as set forth in Section 4.06(d), together with any Special Interest that may accrue at the Company’s election as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations pursuant to Section 6.03, accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Special Interest.
(h)    If Special Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Special Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee may conclusively assume without inquiry that no such Special Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Special Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 4.07.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws
. The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or such Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or any interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.08.    Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults
. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2026) an Officer’s Certificate stating whether the signers thereof have knowledge of any Event of Default that occurred during the previous year and, if so, specifying each such Event of Default and the nature thereof.
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof; provided that the Company is not required to deliver such notice if such Event of Default or Default has been cured (or deemed cured) or is no longer continuing.

Section 6.02.    Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment
. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company), unless the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default can be cured, (A) any failure by the Company to provide any notice under this Indenture other than as set forth in Section 6.01(d) shall be subject to Section 6.01(f) (including the 60-day cure period contained therein), and any related Default or Event of Default shall be deemed cured upon the sending of such notice, whether or not the events or circumstances that are the subject of such notice have already occurred at the time such notice is given, (B) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Note shall be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with Section 2.03 and the terms of this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with any interest thereon, and (C) a Default that is (or, after notice or passage of time or both, would be) an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its reporting obligations in accordance with Section 4.06(b) shall be cured upon the filing of the relevant report(s) that were required to be filed and gave rise to such Default. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default shall result from such Default, and (ii) if an Event of Default is cured or waived before any related notice of acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Notes shall not be subject to acceleration on account of such Default.
The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
    
38


Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, any Notes, or (ii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 6.03.    Special Interest
. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Special Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to (x) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day that such Event of Default is continuing during the first 180 days after the occurrence of such Event of Default and (y) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding from the 181st day to, and including, the 365th day following the occurrence of such Event of Default, as long as such Event of Default is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the 365-day period shall not commence until the expiration of the 60-day period specified in Section 6.01(f). Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6.03, Special Interest payable pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any Special Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e). If the Company so elects, such Special Interest shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, that if the first day such Special Interest accrues as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) falls on or after the close of business on a Special Interest Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, then the amount of Special Interest accruing as a result of such failure in respect of the period from, and including, the first date such Special Interest accrues to, but excluding, such Special Interest Payment Date shall not be payable on such Special Interest Payment Date and be payable on the Special Interest Payment Date next succeeding such corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue in respect of such delay. On the 366th day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) is not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In the event the Company does not elect to pay Special Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Special Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
    
39


In order to elect to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
For the avoidance of doubt, if (x) the Company timely elects to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) in accordance with this Section 6.03, (y) the Company timely pays such Special Interest in accordance with this Section 6.03 and this Indenture and (z) the Company files the delinquent reports that were required to be filed and gave rise to the relevant Event of Default (in each case in clause (z) pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 4.06(b)) prior to the 366th day after the occurrence of such Event of Default (or prior to the delivery of any related notice of acceleration on or after such 366th day), such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Notes shall not be subject to acceleration as a result of the initial failure to comply with the Company’s obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b).
In no event shall Special Interest payable at the Company’s election for failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) as set forth in this Section 6.03, together with any Special Interest that may accrue as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file (other than Current Reports on Form 8- K) with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to the Reporting Grace Period) that it expects to file or will file, such report (before the expiration of such maximum period), pursuant to Section 4.06(d), accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Special Interest.
Section 6.04.    Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor
. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any (with no interest accruing on any overdue principal or Special Interest unless Special Interest was payable pursuant to this Indenture on the required payment date, in which case such overdue amounts shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable Special Interest rate borne by the Notes, subject to enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such required payment date), and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or

decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees and expenses, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
    
41


trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest (to the extent any Special Interest is then payable on the Notes) on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate of Special Interest borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of
    
42


any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 6.06.    Proceedings by Holders
. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest, if any, when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(b)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(c)    such Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, claim, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d)    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
(e)    no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.09,
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder), or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this
    
43


Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be.
Section 6.07.    Proceedings by Trustee
. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
Section 6.08.    Remedies Cumulative and Continuing
. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.
Section 6.09.    Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders
. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee and that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative
    
44


duty to determine whether any action is prejudicial to any Holder). The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except any continuing defaults relating to (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.10.    Notice of Defaults
. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the Trustee shall deliver to all Holders notice of the Default upon the later of (x) within 90 days after it occurs, if actually known to a Responsible Officer, and (y) promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains knowledge thereof, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Section 6.11.    Undertaking to Pay Costs
. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
    
45


any Note (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Indenture and the Notes.
(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return, to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any consideration paid or delivered by the Company or the Guarantors to such Holder or the Trustee, then each Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d)    Each Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution it may have in relation to the Holders or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations will be subordinated to, and will not be enforceable until payment in full of, all Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (ii) if any Guaranteed Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Article 6, then such Guaranteed Obligations will, whether or not due and payable, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors.
(e)    Each Guarantor will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, but only if the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under any Guarantee.
Section 13.02.    Limitation on Guarantor Liability
. Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of any Note, each Holder, confirms that each Guarantor and the Holders intend that the Guarantee of each Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. Each of the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 13.03.    Execution and Delivery of Guarantee
    
65


. The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or an amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or Section 13.05) evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, whereupon each Note then or thereafter outstanding will also represent, and will be entitled to the benefits of, such Guarantee. A Guarantee’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any Officer of a Guarantor executing this Indenture or any such amended or supplemental indenture on such Guarantor’s behalf to hold, at the time any Note is authenticated, the same or any other office at such Guarantor, and each Guarantee will be valid and enforceable even if no notation, certificate or other instrument is set upon or attached to, or otherwise executed and delivered to the Holder of, any Note.
Section 13.04.    Guarantor May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms
. Unless released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 13.06, no Guarantor shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of such Guarantor’s direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) (each, a “Guarantor Business Combination Event”) unless:
(a)    the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Guarantor Successor Entity”), if not such Guarantor, shall be a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Guarantor Successor Entity (if not such Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes and this Indenture; and
(b)    immediately after giving effect to such Guarantor Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.
In the case of any such Guarantor Business Combination Event and upon the assumption by the relevant Guarantor Successor Entity, by supplemental indenture or accession agreement, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the relevant Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the relevant Guarantor, such Guarantor Successor Entity will succeed to and be substituted for such Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Guarantor. The Guarantee under Section 13.04 will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantee theretofore and thereafter existing under, and in accordance with, the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantee had been in effect at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Article 11, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any Notes will prevent any Guarantor from consolidating with or merging with or into, or selling, conveying, transferring or leasing all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) to the Company or another Guarantor or (ii) as otherwise permitted under the Term Loan Credit Facility or Revolving Credit Facility.
    
66


Section 13.05.    Future Guarantors
. If, after the date the Notes are first issued, any Subsidiary of the Company guarantees any Credit Facility, the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 30 calendar days after such Subsidiary guarantees such Credit Facility, cause such Subsidiary to execute an amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.01(c) causing such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor under this Indenture.
Section 13.06.    Automatic Release of Guarantees
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13, the Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released, and such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee will be automatically released and discharged, and, in each case, be of no future force and effect, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a)    on the first date when such Guarantor is released from its obligations as a Guarantor under each Credit Facility;
(b)    the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(c)    any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the capital stock of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company; provided that all guarantees and other obligations of such Guarantor in respect of any Credit Facility that gave rise to such Guarantee terminate upon consummation of such transaction;
(d)    the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor into the Company; or
(e)    all remaining obligations to make payments, or deliver other consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, in respect of all Notes are discharged in full after the same has become due.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) this Section 13.06 will not limit the operation of Section 14.07 and (ii) the Guarantees with respect to a Note are not convertible and will automatically terminate when such Note is converted, repurchased, redeemed, repaid or otherwise cancelled in accordance with this Indenture.

ARTICLE 14

CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 14.01.    Conversion Privilege
.
(a)    Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is a minimum of $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), on or after August 1, 2031 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 11.7219 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Conversion Obligation”). As provided for in Section 14.09, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination as to whether any of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b) have been satisfied that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor unless and until the Company delivers the related notices referred to in Section 14.01(b).
(b)
(i)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during the five Business Day period immediately after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on each such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) unless a Holder or Holders of at least $2,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be outstanding) aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on any Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to determine, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company
    
68


shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time as the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to obtain bids, the Company shall provide the Bid Solicitation Agent with the names and contact information for the securities dealers it selected and the Company shall instruct such securities dealers to provide bids to the Bid Solicitation Agent. If (x) the Company is not acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, and the Company does not, when the Company is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company gives such instruction to the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, or (y) the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on any date shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. Any such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing that the Notes are no longer convertible as a result of the Trading Price of the Notes pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and thereafter neither the Company nor the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall be required to solicit bids (or determine the Trading Price of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture) again unless a new Holder request is made as provided in this subsection (b)(i).
(ii)    If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031, the Company elects to:
(A)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to the separation of such rights from the Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution; or
(B)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to the separation of such rights from the Common Stock), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Company in
    
69


good faith, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,
then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing at least 50 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur). Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, in each case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time; provided that Holders may not convert their Notes pursuant to this subsection (b)(ii) if they participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in clause (A) or (B) of this subsection (b)(ii) without having to convert their Notes as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(iii)    If (A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02, or (B) the Company is a party to a Share Exchange Event (other than a Share Exchange Event that is solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of organization that (x) does not constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (y) results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity and such common stock becomes Reference Property for the Notes) that occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031, (each such Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Share Exchange Event, a “Corporate Event”), then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of such Corporate Event until the earlier of (x) 35 Trading Days after the effective date of the Corporate Event (or, if the Company gives notice after the effective date of such Corporate Event, until 35 Trading Days after the date the Company gives notice of such Corporate Event) or, if such Corporate Event also constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change), until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (y) the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing as promptly as practicable following the effective date of such Corporate Event, but in no event later than the second Business Day after the effective date of such Corporate Event.
(iv)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2031, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time
    
70


during the 30 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the 21st Trading Day of any fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on December 31, 2026, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to 150% of the Conversion Price for each of at least five Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the first 20 consecutive Trading Days of such fiscal quarter, as determined by the Company.
(v)    If the Company calls any Notes for Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption pursuant to Article 16, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Called Notes for conversion during the related Redemption Period, even if the Called Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article 16, and the Holder of any Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is reasonably not able to determine, prior to the close of business on the 44th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Redemption Date, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such Optional Redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, during the related Redemption Period, each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for Optional Redemption, and such Note or beneficial interest will be deemed called for Optional Redemption solely for the purposes of such conversion (“Deemed Redemption”). If a Holder elects to convert Called Notes during the related Redemption Period, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the Conversion Rate for such Called Notes pursuant to Section 14.03. Accordingly, if the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to Article 16, Holders of the Notes that are not Called Notes will not be entitled to convert such Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(v) and will not be entitled to an increase in the Conversion Rate on account of the Notice of Redemption for conversions of such Notes during the related Redemption Period, even if such Notes are otherwise convertible pursuant to any other provision of this Section 14.01(b). The Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.
Section 14.02.    Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion
.
(a)    Except as provided in Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a “Settlement Amount” equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 Trading Days during the relevant Observation Period for such Note, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02.
(i)    All conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, and all conversions for which the relevant
    
71


Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2031, shall be settled using the same forms and amounts of consideration.
(ii)    Except for any conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2031, the Company shall use the same forms and amounts of consideration for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same forms and amounts of consideration with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.
(iii)    If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or any conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period or any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2031), the Company elects a Cash Percentage in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company shall inform converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such election (the “Settlement Notice”) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or (A) in the case of any conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, in the related Notice of Redemption or (B) in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2031, no later than August 1, 2031) and the Company shall indicate in such Settlement Notice the percentage of the Daily Net Settlement Amounts of the Notes being converted that shall be paid in cash (the “Cash Percentage”). If the Company does not elect a Cash Percentage prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect a Cash Percentage with respect to any conversion on such Conversion Date or during such period, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected a Cash Percentage of 0% with respect to such conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to make a timely election of the Cash Percentage pursuant to this Section 14.02(a)(iii) shall not constitute a Default under this Indenture or the Notes.
(iv)    The Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.
(b)    Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to any Special Interest payable on the next Special Interest Payment Date to which such Holder
    
72


is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a notice pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary or a notice as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion, a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to any Special Interest payable on the next Special Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 promptly following the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notes may be surrendered for conversion by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(c)    A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. If any shares of Common Stock are due to a converting Holder, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary, in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.
(d)    In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
(e)    If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued
    
73


in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(f)    Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.
(g)    Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(h)    Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Special Interest Record Date for the payment of Special Interest and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Special Interest Record Date will receive the full amount of any Special Interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Special Interest Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Special Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of any Special Interest payable on the Notes so converted on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the close of business on October 15, 2031; (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record at the close of business on October 15, 2031 (if and to the extent Special Interest is payable on the Maturity Date), at the close of business on the Special Interest Record Date immediately preceding any Redemption Date described in clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence (if and to the extent Special Interest is payable on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date), or at the close of business on the Special Interest Record Date immediately preceding any Fundamental
    
74


Change Repurchase Date described in clause (3) of the immediately preceding sentence (if and to the extent Special Interest is payable on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date), as the case may be, shall receive the full Special Interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Special Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following October 15, 2031 or such Special Interest Record Date.
(i)    The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.
(j)    The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. For each Note surrendered for conversion, the full number of shares, if any, that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
Section 14.03.    Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or a Notice of Redemption
.
(a)    If (i) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption as provided under Section 16.02 and a Holder elects to convert its Called Notes in connection with such Notice of Redemption, as the case may be, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of an Exempted Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or, if later, the 35th Trading Day after the Company provides notice of the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”). A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Notice of Redemption if such Notes are Called Notes with respect to such Notice of Redemption and the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes in an Optional Redemption pursuant to Article 16, Holders of the Notes that are not Called Notes will not be entitled to convert such Notes pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v)

and will not be entitled to an increase in the Conversion Rate for conversions of such Notes (on account of the Notice of Redemption) during the applicable Redemption Period, even if such Notes are otherwise convertible pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(i)-(iv).
(b)    Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount due in respect of such Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares in accordance with this Section 14.03; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Settlement Amount shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Settlement Amount shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the fifth Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c)    The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for conversions in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective or the date the Company delivers the Notice of Redemption, as the case may be (in each case, the “Effective Date”), and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or determined with respect to the Notice of Redemption, as the case may be. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Effective Date. If a conversion of Called Notes during a Redemption Period would also be deemed to be in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder of any such Notes to be converted will be entitled to a single increase to the Conversion Rate with respect to the first to occur of the Effective Date of the Notice of Redemption or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as applicable, and the later event shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of such conversion for purposes of this Section 14.03.
(d)    The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which
    
76


is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.
(e)    The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

(f)    The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i)    if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii)    if the Stock Price is greater than $300.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii)    if the Stock Price is less than $66.91 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 14.9454 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.
(g)    Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04.    Adjustment of Conversion Rate
. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a)    If the Company exclusively issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 ×
OS1
OS0

where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date;
OS0
=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination); and
OS1
=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or
    
78


distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b)    If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 ×
OS0 + X
OS0 + Y

where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS0
=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X=the total number of shares of Common Stock distributable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y=the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants.
Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the
    
79


Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and for the purpose of Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith.
(c)    If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) as to which an adjustment was effected (or would have been effected but for the 1% Exception) pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 14.11, a distribution of rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plan of the Company then in effect, (iii) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for, or upon conversion of, Common Stock in a Share Exchange Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any ability of holders of Common Stock to make an election with respect to the consideration they will receive in such transaction), (iv) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 14.04(d) shall apply, and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 ×
SP0
SP0 − FMV
where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
    
80


SP0
=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV=the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 ×
FMV0 + MP0
MP0

where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
    
81


FMV0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0
=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that, in respect of any conversion of Notes, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for the relevant conversion and within the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day of such Observation Period. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c).
If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount
    
82


for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:
(A)    a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B)    a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).
(d)    If the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed the Initial Dividend Threshold), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 ×
SP0 − T
SP0 − C
    
83



where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0
=the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
T=
an amount (subject to the proviso below, the “Initial Dividend Threshold”) initially equal to $0.255 per share of Common Stock; provided, however, that (x) if such dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock, then T will be deemed to be zero per share of Common Stock with respect to such dividend or distribution; and (y) the Initial Dividend Threshold will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is adjusted as a result of the operation of Sections 14.04(a), 14.04(b), 14.04(c) and 14.04(e); and
C=the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.
Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
(e)    If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock that is subject to the then applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act (other than any odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
    
84


CR1 = CR0 ×
AC + (SP1 × OS1)
OS0 × SP1

where,
CR0
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
CR1
=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
AC=the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company in good faith) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0
=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1
=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP1
=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, in respect of any conversion of Notes, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for the relevant conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day of such Observation Period.
    
85


If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.04(e) but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been made.
(f)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 14.04, if (i) a Conversion Rate adjustment with respect to the Notes for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, (ii) a Note is to be converted and the related Cash Percentage for such conversion is greater than 0%, (iii) any Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date; (iv) the consideration due with respect to such Trading Day includes any shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and (v) such shares of Common Stock would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will be made for such conversion in respect of such Trading Day, but the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such Trading Day based on such adjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
(g)    Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(h)    In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and subject to applicable exchange listing rules, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Company determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, subject to applicable exchange listing rules, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price or otherwise, other than any such issuance described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 14.04;
(ii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
    
86


(iii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit or incentive plan or program (including pursuant to any evergreen plan) of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(iv)    upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued (other than any rights pursuant to a rights plan);
(v)    for a third-party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries as described in clause (e) of this Section 14.04;
(vi)    upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open market share purchase program or other buy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward derivatives, or other buy-back transaction, that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the kind described under clause (e) of this Section 14.04;
(vii)    solely for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock; or
(viii)    for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
(j)    All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
(k)    If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Section 14.04 would result in a change of less than 1% to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the Conversion Rate, (ii) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period related to any conversion of Notes, (iii) August 1, 2031, (iv) on any date on which the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption and (v) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in each case, unless the adjustment has already been made. The provisions described in the preceding sentence are referred herein as the “1% Exception.”
(l)    Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting
    
87


forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(m)    For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period, if any, for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption), the Company shall, in good faith, make appropriate adjustments (without duplication in respect of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 14.04) to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.
Section 14.06.    Shares to Be Fully Paid
. The Company shall at all times reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of outstanding Notes and (b) the Conversion Rate (assuming the Conversion Rate has been increased by the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.
Section 14.07.    Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock
.
(a)    In the case of:
(i)    any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change to par value, or from par value to no par value, or changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
    
88


(ii)    any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,
(iii)    any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
(iv)    any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (A) the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to determine the Cash Percentage in accordance with Section 14.02, (B) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (C) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Share Exchange Event and (D) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Share Exchange Event.
If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of
    
89


Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the fifth Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
If the Reference Property in respect of any such Share Exchange Event includes, in whole or in part, shares of Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect thereof, such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 with respect to the portion of the Reference Property consisting of such Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect thereof. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof), other than cash and/or cash equivalents, of a Person other than the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person, if such Person is an Affiliate of the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Company shall in good faith reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.
In connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described above, the Company shall also adjust the Initial Dividend Threshold based on the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Reference Property and, if applicable, the value of any non-stock consideration comprising the Reference Property. If the Reference Property is composed solely of non-stock consideration, the Initial Dividend Threshold will be zero.
(b)    When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(c)    The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.
(d)    The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.
    
90


Section 14.08.    Certain Covenants
. (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b)    The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c)    The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 14.09.    Responsibility of Trustee
. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or
    
91


termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b). Neither the Trustee, nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to independently determine or verify if any Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Trigger Event, or any other event has occurred or notify the Holders of any such event. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have the responsibility for any act or omission of any Designated Financial Institution described in Section 14.12.
Section 14.10.    [Intentionally Omitted]
.
Section 14.11.    Stockholder Rights Plans
. If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 14.12.    Exchange in Lieu of Conversion
.
(a)    When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay cash and, if applicable, deliver shares of Common Stock at the Company's election that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify the Designated Financial
    
92


Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and delivered, as the case may be.
(b)    Any Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but do(es) not timely pay and deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution(s) do(es) not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration, as, and at the time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election.
(c)    The Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.
ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 15.01.    [Intentionally Omitted]
.
Section 15.02.    Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change
.
(a)    Subject to Section 15.02(f), if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 15.03 that is equal to a minimum of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Special Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Special Interest Payment Date to which such Special Interest Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of the close of business on such Special Interest Record Date on such Special Interest Payment Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.
(b)    Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
    
93


(i)    delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case, on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
(ii)    delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) and on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Physical Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(i)    the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(ii)    the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii)    that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.
If the Notes are Global Notes, to exercise the Fundamental Change repurchase right, Holders must surrender their Notes in accordance with applicable Depositary procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03 in the case of Physical Notes, or through the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Global Notes.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(c)    On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Conversion Agent or Paying Agent other than the Trustee, as applicable) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice
    
94


shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i)    the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii)    the effective date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii)    the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 15;
(iv)    the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v)    the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi)    the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vii)    if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate as a result of the Fundamental Change (or related Make-Whole Fundamental Change);
(viii)    that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder validly withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(ix)    the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.
At the Company’s written request given at least five (5) Business Days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 15, the Company shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article 15 and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth above.
    
95


(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 15.02, the Company shall not be required to send a Fundamental Change Company Notice, or offer to repurchase or repurchase any Notes, as set forth in this Article 15, in connection with a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause (b)(A) or (B) of the definition thereof, if: (i) such Fundamental Change constitutes a Share Exchange Event whose Reference Property consists entirely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the Notes become convertible (pursuant to Section 14.07 and, if applicable, Section 14.03) into consideration that consists solely of U.S. dollars in an amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (calculated assuming that the same includes the maximum amount of any accrued but unpaid Special Interest payable as part of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Fundamental Change); and (iii) the Company timely sends the notice relating to such Fundamental Change required pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(iii). Any Fundamental Change with respect to which, in accordance with the provisions described in this Section 15.02(f), the Company does not offer to repurchase any Notes is referred to as herein as an “Exempted Fundamental Change.”
Section 15.03.    Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
. (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) in respect of Physical Notes by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i)    the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,
(ii)    the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and
(iii)    the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;
    
96


If the Notes are Global Notes, Holders must withdraw their Notes subject to repurchase at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary.
Section 15.04.    Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
. (a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(b)    If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable) of the Notes to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) Special Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or whether or not the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if applicable).
(c)    Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 15.05.    Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes
. In connection with any repurchase offer upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to this Article 15, the Company will, if required by applicable law:
    
97


(a)    comply with the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;
(b)    file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and
(c)    otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;
in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15.
To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations adopted after the date of this Indenture conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligations to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
ARTICLE 16

REDEMPTION
Section 16.01.    Optional Redemption; Cleanup Redemption
.
(a)    No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to November 6, 2029, except as set forth in Section 16.01(b). On or after November 6, 2029, the Company may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the Partial Redemption Limitation), at the Redemption Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Optional Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 16.02. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for determining whether the conditions for Optional Redemption have been met.
(b)    The Company may redeem (a “Cleanup Redemption”) for cash the Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at the Redemption Price if (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that remains outstanding at such time is less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes initially issued hereunder and (ii) the shares of Common Stock that the Company would deliver upon any conversion in connection with such Cleanup Redemption would be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, and that has not been an Affiliate of the Company during the immediately preceding three months, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information or notice under the Securities Act.
    
98


Section 16.02.    Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes
.
(a)    In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes, or its Cleanup Redemption right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, in each case, pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for such Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the date such Optional Redemption Notice or Cleanup Redemption Notice is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Optional Redemption (an “Optional Redemption Notice”) or a notice of such Cleanup Redemption (a “Cleanup Redemption Notice”), as the case may be, not less than 45 nor more than 65 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder; provided, however, that, if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the applicable Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee). Each Redemption Date must be a Business Day, and the Company may not specify a Redemption Date that falls on or after the 41st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(b)    The Notice of Redemption, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for Optional Redemption (as a whole or in part) or for Cleanup Redemption, as the case may be, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(c)    Each Notice of Redemption shall specify:
(i)    the Redemption Date;
(ii)    the Redemption Price;
(iii)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(iv)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(v)    that Holders of Called Notes may surrender such Notes for conversion during the related Redemption Period;
(vi)    the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Called Notes and the Cash Percentage;
    
99


(vii)    the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;
(viii)    the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and
(ix)    in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable.
(d)    If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption, at least $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to such Optional Redemption as of the relevant date of an Optional Redemption Notice (such requirement, the “Partial Redemption Limitation”).

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective July 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Misty Lavender (the “Executive”) and DELEK US HOLDINGS, INC. (the “Company”), who, in return for the mutual promises set forth herein, agree as follows:
1.Term.
(a)Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence upon the Effective Date and expire on July 1, 2030, unless terminated earlier as provided for herein.
2.Scope of Employment. During the Term, the Company shall employ Executive and Executive shall render services to the Company as its Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and in such other capacities and positions as may be established by the Company from time to time. During the Term, Executive may also serve as an executive vice president of any subsidiary of the Company required to be listed by the Company under Item 601(b)(21) of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and best efforts to the successful functioning of the Company’s business and shall faithfully and industriously perform all duties pertaining to Executive’s position, including such additional duties as may be assigned from time to time, to the best of Executive’s ability, experience and talent; provided, however, that Executive may pursue charitable or civic activities, engage in passive personal investments, participate in industry association and trade groups, and serve as an executor, trustee or in other similar fiduciary capacities; provided that any such activities do not interfere with the performance of her responsibilities and obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Executive shall be subject at all times during the Term hereof to the direction and control of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in respect of the work to be done.
3.Compensation.
(a)Base Compensation. During the Term and effective as of the Effective Date, Executive’s annualized base salary (the “Base Compensation”) shall be (i) the Base Salary specified in the “Terms of Employment” (attached hereto as “Exhibit A”), (ii) subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes and (iii) payable at the same times and under the same conditions as salaries are paid to the Company’s other employees in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. The Base Compensation shall be reviewed and may be increased from time to time following the Effective Date by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (or any applicable committee thereof) in its sole discretion applied consistent with this Section 3(a). The Base Compensation shall at all times during the Term be, and remain, more than the compensation of Executive’s subordinates at such times. If the Base Compensation is adjusted after the Effective Date, the Base Compensation defined above shall also be adjusted for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b)Annual Bonus. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual cash incentive plan at a level that is commensurate with Executive’s position as determined by the Board (or any applicable committee thereof) in its sole and reasonable discretion. Executive’s Annual Bonus (as defined below) target for service during the fiscal year shall be equivalent to a stated percentage of



Executive’s Base Compensation as specified in the Terms of Employment (the “Bonus Target”). The Annual Bonus may be based upon achievement of performance measures and objectives established by the Board from time to time; provided that the performance metrics for the Annual Bonus in respect of the fiscal year will be as specified in the Terms of Employment. The Annual Bonus is typically paid in the first fiscal quarter of the year following the applicable bonus year. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Annual Bonus” shall mean a cash bonus, if any, awarded by the Board (or any applicable committee thereof) to Executive in recognition of Executive’s service during the preceding fiscal year and in a manner consistent with the Company’s annual bonus programs for senior executives.
(c)Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plans that may be in effect from time to time for the Company and its subsidiaries including, without limitation, the Company’s 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Delek Logistics GP, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively the “Plans”), on terms commensurate with Executive’s position and duties and at such time and on such terms specified in the Terms of Employment, as determined by the Board or any other authorized administrator of a Plan (the “Plan Administrator”) in their sole discretion. Program design, including, without limitation, performance measures and weighting, is at the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator. Executive acknowledges that Executive may be granted awards under Plans that are not subject to the control of the Board (or any applicable committee thereof) including, without limitation, pursuant to the Delek Logistics GP, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. If so, the obligations of the Board (or any applicable committee thereof) hereunder including, without limitation, any obligation to accelerate the vesting of any such award, shall be fully discharged so long as the Board (or any applicable committee thereof) uses reasonable efforts to ensure that such obligations are met by the applicable Plan Administrator.
4.Fringe Benefits / Reimbursement of Business Expenses.
(a)General Employee Benefits. The Company shall make available to Executive, or cause to be made available to Executive, throughout the period of Executive’s employment hereunder, such benefits as may be put into effect from time to time by the Company generally for other senior executives of the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to modify such benefits available to Executive at any time provided that such modifications apply to other similarly situated employees.
(b)Business Expenses. Executive will be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket business, business entertainment and travel expenses paid by Executive in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, in accordance with and subject to Section 20(c) and all applicable Company expense incurrence and reimbursement policies.
(c)Other Benefits. During the Term, the Company will pay Executive’s reasonable costs of professional tax and financial counseling, provided that, beginning in the 2016 calendar year, the cost of each such benefit does not exceed $25,000 in any calendar year. Perquisites and other personal benefits that are not integrally and directly related to the performance of Executive’s duties and confer a direct or indirect benefit upon Executive that has a personal aspect may, in the Company’s
2



sole discretion, be recorded as taxable compensation to Executive and disclosed in public filings according to SEC regulations.
5.Vacation Time / Sick Leave. Executive will be granted 25 business days of vacation per calendar year. Unused vacation will accrue and carry over into a new calendar year during the Term and the amount attributed to accrued and unused vacation will be paid to Executive upon the termination of employment. Executive will be provided with sick leave according to the Company’s standard policies.
6.Compliance with Company Policies. Executive shall comply with and abide by all applicable policies and directives of the Company and its subsidiaries including, without limitation, the Codes of Business Conduct & Ethics for the Company and its subsidiaries, the Supplemental Insider Trading Policies for the Company and its subsidiaries and any applicable employee handbooks or manuals. The Company and its subsidiaries may, in their sole discretion, change, modify or adopt new policies and directives affecting Executive’s employment which shall be provided to Executive in writing and shall not be on a basis more burdensome than applicable to other officers or otherwise require any additional financial commitment from Executive. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the employment policies and directives of the Company and its subsidiaries, the terms of this Agreement will control, subject to the Company Clawback Policy as modified or amended which shall not be abrogated and shall take precedence over any inconsistent terms in this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Company and its subsidiary, Delek Logistics Partners, LP (“DKL”), are currently subject to SEC reporting requirements pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which the securities of the Company may be listed from time to time for public trading (collectively, a “Securities Market”), and other federal securities laws and regulations applicable to publicly traded companies in the United States. As an employee, officer or director of the Company or as an officer or director of DKL, Executive will, in such capacities, be required to comply with applicable federal securities laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the reporting requirements under Exchange Act Section 16(a) and related SEC rules and regulations), Securities Market listing requirements as well as certain policies of the Company and its subsidiaries designed to comply with such laws and regulations.
7.Confidentiality. Executive recognizes that during the course of Executive’s employment, Executive will be exposed to information or ideas of a confidential or proprietary nature that pertain to Company’s business, financial, legal, marketing, administrative, personnel, technical or other functions or which constitute trade secrets (including, without limitation, business strategy, strategic plans, investment and growth plans and opportunities, client and customer needs and strategies, the identity of sources and markets, marketing information and strategies, business and financial plans and strategies, methods of doing business, data processing and technical systems, specifications, designs, plans, drawings, software, data, prototypes, programs and practices, sales history, financial health or material non-public information as defined under federal securities law) (collectively “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information also includes such information of third parties that has been provided to Company in confidence. All such information is deemed “confidential” or “proprietary” whether or not it is so marked. Information will not be considered Confidential Information to the extent that it is or becomes generally available to the public other than through any breach of this Agreement by or at the discretion of Executive. Nothing in this Section will prohibit the use or disclosure by Executive of knowledge that is in general use in the industry or general business knowledge that was known to Executive prior to Executive’s service to the Company or which enters the public domain other than through
3



any breach of this Agreement by or at the discretion of Executive. Executive may also disclose such information if required by court order or applicable law provided that Executive (a) uses Executive’s reasonable best efforts to give the Company written notice as far in advance as is practicable to allow the Company to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (except to the extent that Executive’s compliance with the foregoing would cause Executive to violate a court order or other legal requirement), (b) discloses only such information as is required by law, and (c) uses Executive’s reasonable best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information so disclosed. During Executive’s employment and for so long as the Confidential Information remains confidential or proprietary thereafter, Executive shall hold Confidential Information in strict confidence, shall use it only in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of the Company, shall restrict its disclosure to those directors, employees or independent contractors of the Company with a need to know such Confidential Information, and shall not disclose, copy or use Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than the Company without the Company’s prior written consent. However, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of law to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with applicable whistleblower protection provisions including, without limitation, the rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Exchange Act or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or require Executive to notify the Company (or obtain its prior approval) of any such reporting.

11.Change in Control.
(a)If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control, in each case, the termination of Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have occurred in the “Context of a Change in Control”, and Executive shall be entitled to the separation benefits set forth in Section 10(c).
(b)For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall mean any of the following:
(i)Any “person” (as defined in Section 13(h)(8)(E) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (or any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) representing more than 30% of the combined voting power of the Company’s (or such successor’s) then outstanding voting securities that may be cast for the election of directors of the Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company (or such successor) in the ordinary course of business);

10



has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Section 11(b)(i) through (iv).
(c)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or its affiliates to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, all such payments and benefits being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, collectively the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in any other plan, arrangement or agreement providing for a payment or benefit, the payments under this Agreement shall be reduced in the order specified below, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). The payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced in the following order: (A) reduction of any cash severance payments otherwise payable to the Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; (B) reduction of any other cash payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to any acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any equity award that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; (C) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, but excluding any payments attributable to any acceleration of vesting and payments with respect to any equity award that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code; and (D) reduction of any payments attributable to any acceleration of vesting or payments with respect to any equity award that are exempt from Section 409A of the Code, in each case beginning with payments that would otherwise be made last in time.
12.Survival of Terms. The provisions of Sections 7, 8(b), 8(c), 9 and 10 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and will continue in effect following the termination of Executive’s employment for the periods described therein. If a Change in Control occurs during the Term, the provisions of Section 11 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and will continue in effect following the Change in Control for the periods described therein. The provisions of Section 8(a) shall survive the termination (but not the expiration) of this Agreement.
13.Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party without the written consent of the other party except that the Company may assign this Agreement to a subsidiary, affiliate or, subject to the terms of this Section 13, a third-party successor of the Company. Any failure by the Company to assign this Agreement to an unaffiliated third-party successor upon the Company’s sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its
11



business will be considered the termination of Executive’s employment in the context of a Change in Control effective upon the closing of the applicable transaction without an assignment to the successor, which closing constitutes a Change in Control. Any failure by Executive to consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such unaffiliated third-party successor will be considered the termination of Executive’s employment for a Good Reason other than in the context of a Change in Control effective upon the closing of the applicable Change in Control transaction without any assignment to the successor. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the payment of any benefits under this Section 13 shall be made in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 10 or 11 of this Agreement within 60 days of the closing date of the Change in Control transaction, provided that Executive has executed a Separation Release, the Release Expiration Date has expired, and Executive has not revoked the Separation Release, and no payments will be made pursuant to this Section 13 if a Change in Control transaction does not occur.
14.No Inducement / Agreement Voluntary. Executive represents that (a) Executive has not been pressured, misled, or induced to enter into this Agreement based upon any representation by Company or its agents not contained herein, (b) Executive has entered into this Agreement voluntarily, after having the opportunity to consult with legal counsel and other advisors of Executive’s own choosing, and (c) Executive’s assent is freely given.
15.Interpretation. Any Section, phrase or other provision of this Agreement that is determined by a court, arbitrator or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable or in conflict with any applicable statute or rule, shall be deemed, if possible, to be modified or altered so that it is not unreasonable or in conflict or, if that is not possible, then it shall be deemed omitted from this Agreement. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all references to “days” in this Agreement shall mean calendar days.
16.Prior Agreements / Amendments. This Agreement (a) represents the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the employment of Executive by the Company on, and subsequent to, the Effective Date and (b) revokes and supersedes all prior agreements pertaining to the subject matter herein, whether written and oral. However, this Agreement does not nullify or otherwise affect any prior equity awards granted to Executive. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges that the Company has fully and finally satisfied all obligations that it has had and could ever have under the Prior Agreement, as the Prior Agreement has been replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received all sums and compensation that Executive has been owed, is owed or ever could be owed for services provided to the Company through the date that Executive signs this Agreement except for the payment of any unpaid base salary earned in the Company’s pay period that includes the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything else herein, Executive acknowledges that Sections 7 and 8 of the Prior Agreement, and any other agreements between Employee and any Company Party that create obligations for Employee with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition or non-solicitation shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not be subject to modification or amendment by any oral representation, or any written statement by either party, except for a dated writing signed by Executive and the Company.
17.Notices. All notices of any kind to be delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or if
12

Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received: (a) if by personal delivery or nationally-recognized overnight courier, on the date of such delivery; and (b) if by registered or certified mail, on the third postal service day following the date postmarked.
18.Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law. The state and federal courts for Davidson County, Tennessee shall be the exclusive venue for any litigation based in significant part upon this Agreement.
19.Mediation / Arbitration.
(a)Any dispute concerning a legally cognizable claim arising out of this Agreement or in connection with the employment of Executive by Company, including, without limitation, claims of breach of contract, fraud, unlawful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, defamation, tortious infliction of emotional distress, unfair competition, arbitrability and conversion (collectively a “Legal Dispute”) shall be resolved according to the following protocol:
(i)The parties shall first submit the Legal Dispute to mediation under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and pursuant to the mediation rules and procedures promulgated by the AAA. The Company shall pay the expenses associated with the mediation.
(ii)In the event mediation is unsuccessful in fully resolving the Legal Dispute, binding arbitration shall be the method of final resolution. The parties expressly waive their rights to bring action against one another in a court of law except as expressly provided herein. In addition to remedies at law, the parties acknowledge that failure to comply with this provision shall entitle the non-breaching party to injunctive relief to enjoin the actions of the breaching party. Any Legal Dispute submitted to Arbitration shall be under the auspices of the AAA and pursuant to the “National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes,” or any similar identified rules promulgated at such time the Legal Dispute is submitted for resolution. All mediation and arbitration hearings shall take place in either Davidson or Williamson County, Tennessee. The Company shall pay the filing expenses associated with the arbitration. All other expenses and fees associated with the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA rules.
(b)Notice of submission of any Legal Dispute to mediation shall be provided no later than one year following the date the submitting party became aware, or should have become aware of, the conduct constituting the alleged claims. Failure to do so shall result in the irrevocable waiver of the claim made in the Legal Dispute.
(c)Notwithstanding that mediation and arbitration are established as the exclusive procedures for resolution of any Legal Dispute, (i) either party may apply to an appropriate judicial or administrative forum for injunctive relief and (ii) claims by
13



Company arising in connection with Sections 7, 8 and/or 9 may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)With respect to any breach or attempted breach of Sections 7, 8 and/or 9 of this Agreement, each party acknowledges that a remedy at law will be inadequate, agrees that the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief and agrees not to use as a defense that any party has an adequate remedy at law. This Agreement shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection herewith. Such remedy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy set forth in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
20.Section 409A.
(a)It is intended that each installment of the payments provided under this Agreement, if any, is a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A and the payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v). Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a termination of employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of “deferred compensation” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “separation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company determines (i) that on the date Executive’s employment with the Company terminates or at such other time that the Company determines to be relevant, Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)(1)) of the Company and (ii) that any payments to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six months after the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) with the Company, or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death. Any payments delayed pursuant to this Section shall be made in a lump sum on the first business day of the seventh month following Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)), or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death.
(c)In addition, to the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit or other, similar plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, then such
14



amount shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations, including (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any payment due under this Agreement within a period following Executive’s termination of employment or other event, shall be made on a date during such period as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows:
SECTION 1– CONSULTING SERVICES

1.1Services. The Company hereby agrees to engage the Consultant to perform, and the Consultant hereby agrees to perform, such consulting services relating to the Company’s and its Affiliates’ Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) strategy as may be requested by senior management of the Company from time to time (the “Consultant’s Services”). All legal services provided for the Company shall be the responsibility of the Company’s General Counsel and Consultant shall not be responsible for providing any legal services other than providing suggestions for the ongoing internal and external legal team as needed. The Consultant shall at all times perform her duties and discharge her responsibilities under this Agreement diligently and conscientiously, and to the best of her ability, and shall direct her efforts to further and maximize the business and interests of the Company and its shareholders, in accordance with sound business practices and applicable laws and regulations. The Consultant shall render the services in a timely and professional manner consistent with industry standards and in accordance with this Agreement. The Consultant may not subcontract or otherwise delegate her obligations under this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent, provided
1


Consultant shall be authorized to collaborate with the Company’s approved outside counsel and Company employees who are working on RFS matters without obtaining prior written consent for each conversation. Subject to compliance with the Consultant’s obligations hereunder, the Consultant shall retain the sole control and discretion to determine the methods by which the Consultant performs the services and the places at which the equipment and supplies with which, and the hours during which such services are to be rendered.

1.2Term. The “Term” of this Agreement shall begin on July 1, 2026, and shall continue through June 30, 2028, unless earlier terminated by either party subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Term may be extended by the written agreement of both parties.

1.3Status as Independent Contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a relationship between Company and any of its Affiliates and Consultant other than that of independent contractor. Consultant shall not be deemed an agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and Consultant shall have no right, power or authority to act in any way in the name of the Company or its Affiliates.

1.4Company IT Equipment and Services. The Company shall issue to Consultant certain IT equipment, which Consultant shall use exclusively for the performance of the Consultant’s Services.

SECTION 2– COMPENSATION

2.1Fees. In consideration of the Consultant’s Services to be provided by the Consultant, the Company shall pay the Consultant an amount equal to $20,833.33 (the “Monthly Fee”) per month during the Term of this Agreement, payable bi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 or the first business day following such dates. Consultant is aware that from all fees paid herein Consultant will be obligated to pay any and all federal and state taxes. Additionally, Consultant will be eligible to earn additional compensation upon achievement of the objectives set forth on Schedule I during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Fee, payments under Section 2.5 below, and the additional compensation set forth on Schedule I constitute the entirety of the compensation payable to Consultant under this Agreement, and Consultant hereby waives and releases any and all claims to payments under Section 10(d)(i) or any other provision of Section 10 of the Employment Agreement by reason of the expiration of the Employment Agreement, the execution or performance of this Agreement, or the transition of Consultant’s relationship with the Company from employee to independent contractor.

2.2Benefits. The Consultant and the Company acknowledge and agree that as the Consultant is an independent contractor, the Company shall not, and shall have no obligation to, by reason of this Agreement, provide the Consultant with any benefits (including, but not limited
2


to, any health, disability, deferred compensation, severance, insurance, profit sharing, or pension benefits) pursuant to this Agreement. If, notwithstanding such specific intention and agreement, Consultant is finally adjudged to be an employee of Company by a court of competent jurisdiction, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such status shall not entitle Consultant to, and Consultant specifically waives entitlement to Company employee benefits including, but not limited to, medical, dental, life insurance, 401(k) program, stock option plans, stock purchase plan, vacation leave, sick leave, and holidays. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not affect Consultant’s (a) vested pension, 401(k) or retiree health benefits earned through her prior employment with the Company and (b) any benefits that specifically survived her employment by agreement, including, but not limited to the Indemnification Agreement between Consultant and the Company.

2.3Expenses. During the Term, the Consultant shall be reimbursed by the Company for all ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket expenses for travel, lodging, meals, or any other similar expenses incurred by the Consultant in performing the Consultant’s Services for the Company (including mileage reimbursement at the established IRS rate in the event Consultant is required to use her personal vehicle on Company business), to the extent that such expenditures meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for deductibility by the Company for federal income tax purposes and which are substantiated and documented by the Consultant as required by the Code and in accordance with policies established by the Company from time to time (i. e., Consultant must file with the Company a standard expense report using a form approved by the Company).

2.4Statements. Upon request by the Company, Consultant agrees to furnish the Company statements for any period in which Consultant has performed services for Company showing a summary of work performed for the Company and expenses incurred for which Consultant requests reimbursement. Such statements shall be sent by e-mail to the CEO with a copy to the CHRO or such other person as may be designated in writing to Consultant from time to time. Consultant further agrees to sign and deliver to Company upon request an IRS Form W-9 if needed, and Consultant certifies she is not subject to “backup withholding”.

2.5Effect on Equity Awards & Bonus.

2.5.1Time-Vesting RSUs. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Employment Agreement and the transition of Consultant’s relationship with the Company from employee to independent contractor at the beginning of the Term, and notwithstanding any earlier termination of this Agreement, all outstanding unvested time-vesting restricted stock unit awards held by the Consultant as of the beginning of the Term shall continue to vest in accordance with their existing vesting schedules through March 10, 2027, which is the final scheduled vesting date of such awards.

2.5.2Performance-Based RSUs. Outstanding performance-based vesting restricted stock unit awards (“PSUs”) shall be credited for service and performance purposes only through December 31, 2026.

3


respect to PSUs on account of service under this Agreement. Consultant shall be entitled to receive the vested performance awards based on actual Company performance for the applicable periods as determined by the Board or applicable committee in a manner consistent with the Company’s performance share vesting for senior executives. Such vested shares shall be paid at the time such performance shares are paid to the Company’s senior executives.

2.5.3Bonus Payment. Notwithstanding any earlier termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to receive a prorated annual bonus for the period of January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, which shall be paid based on actual Company performance for the 2026 fiscal year as determined by the Board or applicable committee in a manner consistent with the Company’s annual bonus program for senior executives. Such prorated bonus shall be paid at the time annual bonuses for the 2026 fiscal year are paid to the Company’s senior executives.

SECTION 3– CONFIDENTIALITY AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

3.1Confidentiality.

3.1.1Definition of Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean information, ideas and materials in any form that are not generally known to the public that (i) relate to (A) the Company or its Affiliates, including their customers, suppliers, vendors, employees, consultants, contractors and other persons with which the Company or its Affiliates may have relationships (collectively, “Related Persons”), or (B) the Company’s or its Affiliates’ past, present or future operations, or (ii) the Consultant received from or are made accessible by the Company, its Affiliates or their Related Persons. All information disclosed to the Consultant or to which the Consultant obtains access during any period of the Consultant’s service to the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or to which the Consultant obtains access by reason of any such service to the Company or its Affiliates, that the Consultant has a reasonable basis to believe is or may be Confidential Information, shall be presumed for purposes of this Agreement to be Confidential Information. The Company and the Consultant acknowledge and agree that the foregoing Confidential Information is extremely valuable to the Company and shall be deemed to be a “trade secret”. For the purposes of this Section 3.1, such information is “not generally known to the public” if it is not generally known to third parties who can obtain economic value from its disclosure and use and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy or confidentiality. In the event that any part of the Confidential Information becomes generally known to the public through legitimate origins (other than by the breach of this Agreement by the Consultant), that part of the Confidential Information shall no longer be deemed Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, but the Consultant shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as to all other Confidential Information.

4


3.1.2Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Consultant will not prior to, during, or after termination of, this Agreement, in any form or manner, directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, entity, firm, corporation or any other third party, or utilize for the Consultant’s personal benefit or for the benefit of any other person or organization, any Confidential Information.

3.1.3Delivery Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Consultant will promptly deliver to the Company or destroy all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, or any other documents which contain Confidential Information (collectively, the “Documents”).

3.1.4Duration of Confidentiality Obligations. The obligations, duties and liabilities of the Consultant pursuant to this Section 3 of this Agreement are continuing, absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect as provided herein despite any termination of this Agreement as follows: (a) with respect to trade secrets (as defined under the Defend Trade Secrets Act and applicable Tennessee law): indefinitely, or for so long as such information retains trade secret status under applicable law; (b) with respect to the Company’s attorney-client privileged communications: indefinitely, the attorney-client privilege being a right belonging to the Company as client that Consultant, as former counsel, has no authority to waive; and (c) with respect to all other obligations in this Section 3.1, for five (5) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

3.2Non-Competition During the Term. During the Term, so long as Consultant is engaged by the Company, Consultant shall not, either as an individual or as an employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, equity participant, sole proprietor, independent contractor, consultant, or in any other capacity, conduct, any business, or assist any person, in conducting any business that is directly or indirectly in competition with the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries or Affiliates, anywhere in the world.

3.3Non-Interference with Commercial Relationships. During the Term and for a period of two years thereafter, Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as an employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, equity participant, sole proprietor, independent contractor, consultant or in any other capacity whatsoever approach or solicit any customer or vendor of Company for the purpose of causing, directly or indirectly, any such customer or vendor to cease doing business with the Company or its Affiliates, nor will Consultant engage in any other activity that interferes or could reasonably be expected to interfere in any material way with the commercial relationships between the Company and its Affiliates and such customers or vendors. The foregoing covenant shall be in addition to any other covenants or agreements to which Consultant may be subject. The foregoing is not intended to prohibit Consultant from engaging in the practice of law to the extent permitted by the conflicts rules of the American Bar Association.

5


3.4Non-Interference with Employment Relationships. During the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, Consultant shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly: (i) induce or attempt to induce any Company employee to terminate his/her employment with the Company; or (ii) interfere with or disrupt the Company’s relationship with any of its employees. The foregoing does not prohibit Consultant (personally or as an employee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, equity participant, sole proprietor, independent contractor, consultant or in any other capacity) from hiring or employing an individual or providing a reference for an individual that contacts Consultant on his/her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by Consultant other than customary forms of general solicitation such as search firm solicitations without involvement by Consultant, newspaper advertisements or internet postings.

3.5Extent of Restrictions; Equitable Relief. Consultant acknowledges that the confidentiality obligations and other covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 3 correctly set forth the understanding of the parties at the time this Agreement is entered into, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation will cause substantial injury to the business and goodwill of the Company for which monetary damages and remedies at law would be inadequate. In the event of violation of any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy and after at least ten days’ prior written notice, to preliminary or permanent injunctive relief without the posting of a bond or other security, and Consultant shall, in addition, pay to the Company the Company’s costs and expenses in enforcing such terms (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees). If any court having jurisdiction shall find that any part of the restrictions set forth in this Section 3 are unreasonable in any respect, it is the intent of the parties that the restrictions set forth herein shall not be terminated, but that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent (as to time periods and other relevant factors) that the court shall find reasonable.

SECTION 4– MISCELLANEOUS

4.1Termination.

4.1.1This Agreement shall be terminable by either party, with or without breach and for any reason, with at least 30 days’ notice.

The parties expressly waive their rights to bring action against one another in a court of law except as expressly provided herein. In addition to remedies at law, the parties acknowledge that failure to comply with this provision shall entitle the non-breaching party to injunctive relief to enjoin the actions of the breaching party.

(d)With respect to any breach or attempted breach of Sections 14, 15, and/or 16 of this Agreement and/or Sections 7, 8 and/or 9 of the Employment Agreement, each party acknowledges that a remedy at law will be inadequate, agrees that the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief and agrees not to use as a defense that any party has an adequate remedy at law. This Agreement shall be enforceable in a court of equity, or other tribunal with jurisdiction, by a decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection herewith. Such remedy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy set forth in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by all of the Parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by another party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any of the Parties that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement and every one of them (if, in fact, there have been any) is hereby terminated without liability or any other legal effect whatsoever.
