(d) Any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or to any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Amounts) on any Note and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to or for the account of Mexico by the Trustee or such paying agent, upon the written request of Mexico and, to the extent permitted by law, the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to Mexico for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. Mexico shall cause all returned, unclaimed monies to be held in trust for the relevant Holder of the Note until such time as the claims against Mexico for payment of such amounts shall have prescribed pursuant to paragraph 16 of these Terms.
(e) If Mexico at any time defaults in the payment of any principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts) on the Notes, Mexico will pay interest on the amount in default (to the extent permitted by law), calculated for each day until paid, at the rate of 3.900% per annum, together with Additional Amounts, if applicable.
3. Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of Mexico prior to the maturity date.
(a) Prior to March 27, 2025, Mexico will have the right at its option, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the maturity date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), plus interest accrued but not paid on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the date of redemption specified in such notice (the “Redemption Date”).
(b) At any time on or after March 27, 2025, Mexico will have the right at its option, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the maturity date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued but not paid on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.
“Make-Whole Amount” means the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points over (ii) the principal amount of such Notes.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of investment grade debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
