In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 2.5, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.5 by virtue of any such conflict.

(e) In addition to the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture, the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of the Notes: any default in the payment of any Change of Control Payment in respect of the Notes of such series as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
