Within 30 days following a Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to a Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each holder of Debentures, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Debentures on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.
