Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a note at any date of redemption, the greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note; and (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the redemption price of such note on February 15, 2014 (such redemption price being that described in the chart above) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such note through February 15, 2014, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of such note on such Redemption Date. Calculation of the Applicable Premium will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation, or determination of the Treasury Rate referenced below, shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

 

 

 

 

 

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a date of redemption, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to such date of redemption (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from such date of redemption to February 15, 2014; provided, however, that if the period from such date of redemption to February 15, 2014 is not equal to the constant maturity of the United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the 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 such date of redemption to February 15, 2014 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
