Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule I thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), relating to the sale by the Company of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-US persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Offering”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include production and development, capital expenditures, investments, working capital and potential acquisitions and strategic business transactions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company together with customary closing conditions.

Indenture
On October 29, 2021, the Company entered into an indenture, relating to the issuance of the Notes (the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Notes mature on May 1, 2030. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum. Interest on of the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2022.
At any time prior to November 1, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 103.875% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. At any time prior to November 1, 2024, the Company may also redeem the Notes at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. On or after November 1, 2026, the Company may redeem the Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
If the Company experiences a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries to:
| • | | create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; |
| • | | create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; and |
| • | | consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company and its subsidiaries assets, to another person. |
These covenants are subject to a number of other limitations and exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company and its significant subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes under the Indenture will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes under the Indenture may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The description of the Notes and the Indenture contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of (i) the Indenture which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference and (ii) the Form of 3.875% Senior Note due 2030 which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
