On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer fails to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date or to set apart funds for such Redemption, or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

For all purposes of the Indenture, the Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding from and after the Redemption Date, and all rights with respect thereto, except as stated herein, will cease as of the close of business on that same date and the only remaining right of holders of the Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed.

IMPORTANT TAX NOTICE

Holders must furnish a properly completed and signed Form W-9 when submitting the Notes. Federal law may require paying agents making payments of interest or principal to withhold a 28% tax from remittances to individuals who have failed to furnish the paying agent with a valid taxpayer identification (Social Security) number.
