For the definitions of the terms “Reset Period,” “Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate,” “Reset Interest Determination Date” and “Reset Date,” and for other important information concerning the calculation of interest on the Notes, see “Description of the Notes—Interest Rate and Maturity” in the Preliminary Prospectus.

Interest Payment Dates:    Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025 (subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments as described under “Optional Interest Deferral” below).
Regular Record Dates:    The close of business on the record date for the applicable interest payment date, which will be (i) the business day immediately preceding such interest payment date so long as all of the Notes remain in book-entry only form or (ii) the 15th calendar day preceding such interest payment date (whether or not a business day) if any of the Notes do not remain in book-entry only form.
Optional Interest Deferral:    So long as no event of default (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, for one or more deferral periods of up to 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) each, except that no such Optional Deferral Period (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus) may extend beyond the final maturity date of the Notes or end on a day other than the day immediately preceding an interest payment date. During any Optional Deferral Period, interest on the Notes will continue to accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such Optional Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of the Notes). In addition, during any Optional Deferral Period, interest on the deferred interest (“compound interest”) will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such Optional Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of the Notes), compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law. No interest will be due or payable on the Notes during any such Optional Deferral Period unless the Company elects, at its option, to redeem Notes during such Optional Deferral Period, in which case accrued and unpaid interest (including, to the extent permitted by law, any compound interest) to, but excluding, the redemption date will be due and payable on such redemption date only on the Notes being redeemed, or unless the principal of and interest on the Notes shall have been declared due and payable as the result of an event of default with respect to the Notes, in which case all accrued and unpaid interest (including, to the extent permitted by law, any compound interest) on the Notes shall become due and payable.

The Company cannot begin a new Optional Deferral Period until the Company has paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from any previous Optional Deferral Period.
