Select terms of the Offer are described in the table below:

All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase is subject to the Tender Cap. Accordingly, because the Tender Cap has been reached in respect of tenders made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no Notes of any series tendered after the Early Tender Time (regardless of acceptance priority level) will be accepted for purchase. As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time are eligible to receive the Full Tender Offer Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment. In addition, holders that validly tender Notes that are accepted for purchase by the Company will receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date for their tendered Notes to, but not including, the settlement date for such Notes, in each case rounded to the nearest cent ("Accrued Interest").

The conditions to the Offer specified in the Offer to Purchase have been satisfied. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company has exercised its Early Settlement Right. Payment of the Full Tender Offer Consideration to holders of Notes that were accepted for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date is expected to be made on July 23, 2021 (the "Early Settlement Date").

The Withdrawal Deadline for the Offer was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 21, 2021, and has not been extended for any series of Notes. The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2021, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company, with respect to any or all series of Notes.
