The 2021 Early Tender Payment is payable only to Holders who tender and validly deliver their 2021 Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Time. Holders validly tendering and not withdrawing their 2021 Notes at or before the Early Tender Time will be eligible to receive the 2021 Total Consideration (including the 2021 Early Tender Payment) on a date promptly following the Early Tender Time (the "Early Settlement Date") (which date is expected to be within one business day after the Early Tender Time, but which the Purchaser may change without notice). Holders validly tendering and not withdrawing their 2021 Notes after the Early Tender Time and prior to or at the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive U.S.$990.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes (the "2021 Purchase Price"), namely an amount equal to the 2021 Total Consideration less the 2021 Early Tender Payment, on a date promptly following the Expiration Date (the "Final Settlement Date") (which date is expected to be within two business days after the Expiration Date, but which the Purchaser may change without notice).

The total consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is U.S.$1,040.00 (the "2023 Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender payment of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the "2023 Early Tender Payment") and the 2023 Purchase Price (as defined below). The 2023 Early Tender Payment is payable only to Holders who tender and validly deliver their 2023 Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Time. Holders validly tendering and not withdrawing their 2023 Notes at or before the Early Tender Time will be eligible to receive the 2023 Total Consideration (including the 2023 Early Tender Payment) on the Early Settlement Date (which date is expected to be within one business day after the Early Tender Time, but which may change without notice). Holders validly tendering and not withdrawing their 2023 Notes after the Early Tender Time and prior to or at the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive U.S.$1,010.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the "2023 Purchase Price"), namely an amount equal to the 2023 Total Consideration less the 2023 Early Tender Payment, on the Final Settlement Date (which date is expected to be within two business days after the Expiration Date, but which may change without notice).

In addition, Holders whose Notes are purchased in the Offers will receive accrued and unpaid interest (the "Accrued Interest") in respect of their purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, (i) in the case of any Notes accepted for purchase at or before the Early Tender Time, the Early Settlement Date and (ii) in the case of any remaining Notes accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Time, the Final Settlement Date, as the case may be.
