Optional Interest Deferral: | So long as no event of default (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, for one or more Optional Deferral Periods (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of up to 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) each, except that no such Optional Deferral Period may extend beyond the final maturity date of the Notes or end on a day other than the day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date. No interest will be due or payable on the Notes during any such Optional Deferral Period, subject to certain exceptions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. The Company may elect, at its option, to extend the length of any Optional Deferral Period that is shorter than 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (so long as the entire Optional Deferral Period does not exceed 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods or extend beyond the final maturity date of the Notes) and to shorten the length of any Optional Deferral Period.

In addition, during any Optional Deferral Period, interest on the deferred |
interest will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such Optional Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of the Notes), compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law. | ||||||||
