The following table summarizes, with respect to each series of Notes, (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes in respect of which consents were validly delivered without tendering the related Notes, (2) the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and in respect of which a consent was thereby validly delivered) and (3) the total of the aggregate principal amount of Notes in respect of which consents were validly delivered without tendering the related Notes or by validly tendering Notes, in each case as of 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 7, 2017 (the “Expiration Time”).
