If, following a transaction to which the provisions of the indenture described below under “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” applies (the “Transaction”), the Surviving Person is organized other than under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, such Surviving Person may, at its option, redeem the notes at any time in whole, but not in part, upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to (but not including) the redemption date, if the Surviving Person determines in good faith that it has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of:
