So long as no event of default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, we have the right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes for one or more consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed five years for any single deferral period as described in “Description of the Notes—Option to Defer Interest Payments.” We may not defer interest beyond the maturity date, any earlier accelerated maturity date arising from an event of default or any other earlier redemption of the Notes. During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the Notes at the interest rate described above and deferred interest on the Notes will bear additional interest at the interest rate of the Notes, compounded on each Interest Payment Date, subject to applicable law. If we have paid all deferred interest (including compounded interest thereon) on the Notes, we can again defer interest payments on the Notes as described above.
