The Issuers shall announce the results of the Excess Cash Flow Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date.

6




 

such Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Interest Record Date.

(g)           If the aggregate repurchase price of Notes tendered pursuant to any Excess Cash Flow Offer is less than the applicable Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Company may, subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, use any such Excess Cash Flow for any other lawful purpose.  Upon completion of any Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount will be reset to zero.”
