(1)	The maximum subcap applicable to the 7.050% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) of $120,000,000 (the “2029 Maximum SubCap”) represents the maximum aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes that may be purchased in the tender offer for the 2029 Notes.

(2)

Subject to the Maximum Aggregate Cap and proration if applicable, the principal amount of Notes that is purchased in each tender offer will be determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column; provided that (i) we will not accept 2029 Notes in an aggregate principal amount that exceeds the 2029 Maximum SubCap and (ii) Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date (as defined herein) will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date.

(3)	Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, which will also be payable as provided herein.

(4)	Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined herein).

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offers, the Company expects to accept for purchase all Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. The Company expects to make payment for the accepted Notes on October 7, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Company intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted Notes on the Early Settlement Date with the net proceeds from the Debt Financing (as defined herein) and available cash on hand.

The Tender Offers are conditioned upon, among other things, the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of one or more debt financing transactions raising aggregate gross proceeds of an amount at least equal to $600,000,000 (the “Debt Financing” and such condition, the “Financing Condition”). The Company expects to satisfy the Financing Condition with the closing of its offering of new 6.000% Senior Notes due 2032, which is expected to occur on the date hereof. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will complete the Debt Financing.

The Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 18, 2024.

The consideration to be paid for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration.” The amounts set forth in the table above under “Total Consideration” include an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable “Total Consideration” set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration,” which includes the Early Tender Premium. All holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued interest from, and including, the most recent applicable interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date, if and when such Notes are accepted for payment.
