Subject to the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, the amounts of each series of Waterfall Notes that are purchased in the Waterfall Offer will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels specified in Table II above (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”), with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 3 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level. In addition, the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.200% Notes due 2026 that are purchased in the Waterfall Offer will not exceed the 2026 Notes Tender Cap, as specified in Table II above.

The tender offers are being made pursuant to, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Offer to Purchase, dated October 1, 2018, and the related Letter of Transmittal (as they may each be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Documents”). The tender offers will expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of October 29, 2018, unless extended or terminated (the “Expiration Date”). Tenders of Securities may be properly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 15, 2018, but may not be properly withdrawn thereafter, except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

Holders of Securities that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 15, 2018 (unless extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the applicable early tender premium specified in the applicable table above (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders of Securities who validly tender their Securities following the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Date will only receive the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration” for Securities accepted for purchase, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.

The prices to be paid for each series of Securities subject to the tender offers and accepted for purchase will be determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the Early Tender Deadline (as it may be extended with respect to the applicable offer, the “Price Determination Date”). Promptly after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Price Determination Date, the Company will issue a press release specifying, among other things, the Total Consideration for each series of Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase.

Payments for Securities purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Securities accepted for purchase.

If the Waterfall Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the 2026 Notes Tender Cap (if applicable) and the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, Waterfall Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Waterfall Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline, even if such Waterfall Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Waterfall Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

Waterfall Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Waterfall Notes of such series validly tendered and not properly withdrawn would cause the 2026 Notes Tender Cap (if applicable) or the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the Waterfall Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender Waterfall Notes following the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Waterfall Notes accepted for purchase.
