(b) The Securities are redeemable, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to August 15, 2030, at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed on that redemption date; and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities being redeemed on that redemption date that would be due if the Securities being redeemed matured on August 15, 2030 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of 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 25 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
