“Property” means (i) any real property or any permanent improvement thereon owned by us, any Guarantor or any of our restricted subsidiaries located in the United States, except such as our management determines in good faith (taking into account, among other things, the importance of such property to the business, financial condition and earnings of us, any Guarantor and our restricted subsidiaries taken as a whole) not to be of material importance to the business of us, any Guarantor and our restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (ii) the capital stock of any United States subsidiary that is owned by us, any Guarantor or any of our restricted subsidiaries, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

“subsidiary” of any specified person means any corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the total voting power of shares of capital stock entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by such person or one or more of the other subsidiaries of that person or a combination thereof.
Interest
Each series of Notes will begin to accrue interest from the date on which it is originally issued. Interest on each series of Notes will be paid to the persons in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on or, as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date. Interest on each series of Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
As used in the Indenture, the term “business day” means, with respect to each series of Notes, any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which the banking institutions are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or on which commercial banks in New York, New York or the place of payment are authorized or required by law to close.
If any interest payment date, redemption date, repayment date or stated maturity of any series of Notes falls on a date that is not a business day, then payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest, or the redemption of such series of Notes, will be made on the next succeeding business day at such place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on the interest payment date, redemption date or repayment date, or at the stated maturity. No interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such interest payment date, redemption date, repayment date, or stated maturity, as the case may be, to the date of such payment.
Payment
If any series of Notes are no longer represented by a global note, payment of interest on certificated Notes in definitive form may, at our option, be made by (i) check mailed directly to holders of such series at their registered addresses, or (ii) upon written request of any holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of such series of Notes, wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by such holder. See “Description of Debt Securities—Payment and Transfer or Exchange” in the accompanying prospectus.
