Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Notes will be redeemed in full on December 15, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, along with accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The amount of regular interest that will be payable with respect to these Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date will be calculated based upon the per annum interest rate then payable on each of these Notes, and the redemption price, which includes such interest, will be paid on the Redemption Date.
