The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of August 5, 2003, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.) (as successor to The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by an eighteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 3, 2021, by and between the Company and the Trustee relating to the 2023 Senior Notes (the “Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Eighteenth Indenture”), a nineteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 3, 2021, by and between the Company and the Trustee relating to the 2027 Senior Notes (the “Nineteenth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Nineteenth Indenture”) and a twentieth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 3, 2021, by and between the Company and the Trustee relating to the 2032 Senior Notes (the “Twentieth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Twentieth Indenture,” and the Eighteenth Indenture, Nineteenth Indenture and Twentieth Indenture are referred to herein as the “Indentures”).
