Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Notes will be redeemed in full on November 15, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, along with accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

On the Redemption Date and upon the Company’s payment of the redemption price, all rights of holders with respect to the Notes being redeemed will terminate, except for the right to receive payment of the applicable redemption price upon surrender of the Notes for redemption.
