 and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, we will not repurchase any notes of the applicable series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an event of default under the indenture.

We will 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 notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
