Optional Tax Redemption The Companies may, at their or the Parent Guarantor’s option, redeem the Securities of this series in whole, but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to (but excluding) the Redemption Date, if (i) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of a jurisdiction in which either Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, organized, or otherwise tax resident or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or in the interpretation, application or administration of any such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) which becomes effective on or after October 26, 2018 (any such change or amendment, a “Change in Tax Law”), the relevant Company or, if a payment were then due under a Guarantee, the relevant Guarantor, would be required to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that the Securities of this series may not be redeemed to the extent such Additional Amounts arise solely as a result of the relevant Company assigning its obligations under the Securities of this series to a Substitute Company, unless such assignment to a Substitute Company is undertaken as part of a plan of merger by the Parent Guarantor. Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section, the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor is or would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law. No notice of redemption pursuant to this Section may be given earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date on which the relevant Company or the relevant Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities of this series were then due.
Optional Redemption (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuer will not have the option to redeem the 2019 Notes prior to June 1, 2014. On or after June 1, 2014, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2019 Notes redeemed to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date: Year Percentage 2014 103.000 % 2015 101.500 % 2016 and thereafter 100.000 % Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the 2019 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes issued under the Indenture (including any additional notes issued after the Issue Date) at a redemption price of 106.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
(c) At any time prior to June 1, 2014, the Issuer may also redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2019 Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of 2019 Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Optional Redemption of Notes (a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part. Prior to the Par Call Date, the redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
(b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).
Payment of the Redemption Price Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price by the time proscribed by Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 4.03(E) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must be paid pursuant to such proviso.
Payment Upon Redemption (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).
(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.
