The Company and the German Issuer may redeem the applicable Private Placement Notes upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of a make-whole amount to noteholders, and are required to offer to prepay the Private Placement Notes following the occurrence of a change of control. The Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement provides for various events of default.

 

Interest on the Private Placement Notes is payable semi-annually on April 27 and October 27, commencing on April 27, 2017. Interest on the Private Placement Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
