5. The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price (the “Make-Whole Amount”) equal to the greater of

 

  (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or

 

  (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA))) at the then applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points.

Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an Independent Investment Banker.
