Any such interest which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and may be paid by the Company to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) shall be registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed by the Company in the manner provided in said Indenture, or may be paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

The Notes will cease to bear interest upon Maturity unless, upon due presentation, payment of the amount due is improperly withheld or refused, in which case the Notes will continue to bear interest (before as well as after judgment) until the day on which all sums due in respect of such Notes up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Holder of such Notes.
