The Consent Solicitation is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions described in the Statement, including receiving the consents of holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the "Required Consents"). In the event that the Required Consents for the Notes are received on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Issuer will pay an aggregate cash payment equal to USD 20 per USD 1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the "Consent Payment") for which the Required Consents to the Proposed Waiver are validly delivered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not validly revoked prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the receipt of the Required Consents and (ii) the Expiration Date.
