As of the Early Tender Date,
Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase will only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, plus the applicable Accrued Interest.
If the aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Expiration Date represents an aggregate principal amount that exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, based on the order of priority (the "Acceptance Priority Level") for such series of Notes set forth in the table above and as otherwise described in the Offer to Purchase, a prorated amount of Notes of such series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders at or prior to the Expiration Date will be accepted for purchase.

Holders of Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date will receive the applicable Total Consideration, plus the applicable Accrued Interest, on the early settlement date, which date will be three business days following the Early Tender Date but before the Expiration Date (the "Early Settlement Date"). The final settlement date will be two business days following the Expiration Date (the "Final Settlement Date" and, together with the Early Settlement Date, each a "Settlement Date").
Conditions to the Tender Offer
Embraer's obligation to purchase Notes in the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including the receipt by us of proceeds from a proposed debt financing on terms reasonably satisfactory to Embraer's sole discretion and subject to applicable law (the "Debt Financing"), as described in the Offer to Purchase, which has been satisfied. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes of such series or of the other series. However, the Tender Offer is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. Embraer reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law. In the event of a termination of the Tender Offer, neither the applicable consideration nor Accrued Interest will be paid or become payable to the holders of the applicable series of Notes, and the Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering holders.
Subsequent Redemptions or Repurchases; Redemption of 2025 Notes
From time to time after consummation of the Tender Offer, Embraer or any of its affiliates may acquire Notes that are not tendered or not accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer through open-market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as Embraer or such affiliate may determine (or as may be provided for in the respective indenture governing the Notes), which may be more or less than the applicable purchase price to be paid pursuant to the Tender Offer and could be for cash or other consideration. Embraer has, on this date, delivered notice of optional redemption of all outstanding 2025 Notes via the make-whole call.
