If any Waterfall Notes are validly tendered such that the aggregate principal amount of such tendered Waterfall Notes exceeds the Tender Cap, the Waterfall Notes will be purchased in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in the second table above, and may be subject to proration as described in the Offer Documents.
As previously announced, the Waterfall Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 10, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Waterfall Expiration Time"). Holders of Waterfall Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Waterfall Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Time") to be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration for the Waterfall Notes, which is inclusive of an amount in cash equal to the applicable early tender premium set forth in the second table above. Holders of Waterfall Notes who validly tender their Waterfall Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Waterfall Expiration Time will be eligible only to receive the applicable late tender consideration per $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Waterfall Notes, which is equal to the applicable total consideration less the applicable early tender premium.
Waterfall Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Early Tender Time, but not thereafter.
The total consideration and late tender consideration with respect to the Waterfall Notes will be determined in the manner described in the Offer Documents at 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on September 29, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Waterfall Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date Zions makes payment for such Waterfall Notes.
