Owens Corning will calculate the consideration to be paid to holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Outstanding Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the bid-side yield of the applicable reference security, calculated as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 6, 2017.

Because the Tender Offer with respect to the 2036 Notes is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, Holders who validly tender any 2036 Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their 2036 Notes accepted for payment.
