Tax Event Redemption Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the successful remarketing of the Notes, the Company may elect to instruct in writing the Collateral Agent to apply, and upon such written instruction, the Collateral Agent shall apply, out of the aggregate Redemption Price for the Notes that are components of Normal Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Tax Event Redemption Principal Amount for the Notes that are components of Normal Units to purchase on behalf of the Holders of Normal Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion of such Redemption Price to the Agent for payment to the Holders of such Normal Units. The Treasury Portfolio will be substituted for the Pledged Notes, and will be pledged to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a Normal Unit to purchase the Common Stock under the Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Normal Unit. Following the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to a successful remarketing of the Notes, the Holders of Normal Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Treasury Portfolio as the Holder of Normal Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Notes, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI of the Pledge Agreement, and any reference herein or in the Certificates to the Note shall be deemed to be a reference to such Treasury Portfolio and any reference herein or in the Certificates to interest on the Notes shall be deemed to be a reference to corresponding distributions on the Treasury Portfolio. The Company may cause to be made in any Normal Unit Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Treasury Portfolio for Notes as collateral. The Company shall cause notice of any Tax Event Redemption to be mailed, at least 30 calendar days but not more than 60 calendar days before such Tax Event Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption after the successful remarketing of the Notes, the Redemption Price will be payable in cash to the holders of the Notes.
Redemption for Tax Reasons The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time (if this Note is neither a Floating Rate Note, an Index Linked Interest Note nor a Dual Currency Interest Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (if this Note is either a Floating Rate Note, an Index Linked Interest Note or a Dual Currency Interest Note), on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Principal Paying Agent and, in accordance with Condition 15, the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable), if:
(i) on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 9 or the Guarantor would be unable for reasons outside its control to procure payment by the Issuer and in making payment itself would be required to pay such additional amounts, in each case as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Tax Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 9) or any political subdivision of, or any authority in, or of, a Tax Jurisdiction having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date on which agreement is reached to issue the first Tranche of the Notes; and
(ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer shall deliver to the Principal Paying Agent a certificate signed by two Directors of the Issuer or, as the case may be, two Directors of the Guarantor stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred, and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. Notes redeemed pursuant to this Condition 8(b) will be redeemed at their Early Redemption Amount referred to in paragraph (e) below together (if appropriate) with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of redemption.
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.
Redemption for Taxation Reasons The Securities may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders (which notice will be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Amounts), if any, to the Tax Redemption Date if, as a result of:
(a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation; or
(b) any change in, or amendment to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective (i) in the case of the Company, on or after the Closing Date or (ii) in the case of any successor entity, on or after the date such successor entity becomes obligated under the Securities or the Indenture, with respect to any payment due or to become due under the Securities or the Indenture, the Company or its successor entity, as the case may be, is, or on the next Interest Payment Date would be, required to pay Additional Amounts, and such requirement cannot be avoided by the Company or its successor entity, as the case may be, taking reasonable measures available to it; provided that for the avoidance of doubt changing the jurisdiction of the Company or any successor entity is not a reasonable measure for the purposes of this section; and provided, further that no such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which we, or any successor entity, as the case may be, would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due. Any Securities that are redeemed will be cancelled.

(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.
