The Debentures are redeemable at NEECH's option in certain circumstances including, among others, at any time on or after September 29, 2022 at 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains default and related acceleration provisions upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default.
