Optional Redemption:   

On any date prior to January 1, 2024, we may redeem Notes, at our option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes plus an Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. On or after January 1, 2024, we may redeem Notes, at our option, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

 

Applicable Premium” means, with respect to the Notes, on any date of redemption, the excess, if any, of (x) the present value as of such date of redemption of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus (ii) all required interest payments due on such Notes through January 1, 2024, assuming such Notes matured on such date (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate as of such date of redemption plus 30 basis points, over (y) the then outstanding principal of such Notes.

 

Applicable Treasury Rate” means as of any date of redemption of the Notes, the yield to stated maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent statistical release designated as “H.15” under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” or any successor publication which is published at least weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or companion online data resource published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such statistical release is no longer published, any publicly available source or similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to January 1, 2024; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to January 1, 2024 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Applicable Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to January 1, 2024 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.
