 and that, on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable and that Series 2025C RSNs called for redemption will cease to accrue interest on and after the redemption date (unless there is a default on payment of the redemption price). Prior to the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the paying agent or the Senior Note Indenture Trustee money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Series 2025C RSNs to be redeemed on that date. If the Company redeems less than all of the Series 2025C RSNs, the Senior Note Indenture Trustee will choose the Series 2025C RSNs to be redeemed by lot, for Series 2025C RSNs in definitive form, and, for Series 2025C RSNs held by DTC (or another depositary), in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC (or such other depositary).

In the event the final remarketing fails and you do not settle the related purchase contracts with separate cash, if you hold RSNs as part of Corporate Units you will be deemed to exercise your option to put both series of RSNs to the Company unless you elect to settle the purchase contracts with separate cash as described under “Description of the Purchase Contracts—Notice to Settle with Cash,” and the Company will apply the put price against your obligations under the purchase contracts. This remedy has the effect similar to an automatic redemption of the RSNs, but the Company does not have to give you prior notice or follow any of the other redemption procedures.

The Company will not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (i) all Series 2025C RSNs during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given of the selection of the Series 2025C RSNs for optional redemption or (ii) any Series 2025C RSNs being redeemed, except with respect to the unredeemed portion of any Series 2025C RSN being redeemed in part.

#### Events of Default
The events of default and related provisions set forth under “Description of the Senior Notes—Events of Default” in the accompanying Prospectus shall apply to the RSNs. In addition, an “event of default” with respect to the RSNs will occur if the Company fails to pay the purchase price of any RSN on the purchase contract settlement date, if required under “Put Option upon Failed Remarketing” above.
