Redemption

   The Notes will be redeemable, in whole at any time or from time to time in part, at the Issuer’s option on any date of redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”). Prior to December 15, 2026 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to the greater of:
  

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, and

  

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) plus 50 basis points, plus, in the case of both clause (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

   On or after the Par Call Date and until maturity, the redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

Change of Control Triggering Event:

   If a change of control triggering event occurs, the Issuer will generally be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made, against payment for the Notes, on or about February 20, 2019, which will be the tenth business day following the pricing of the Notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next succeeding seven business days will be required, because the Notes initially will settle within ten business days (T+10), to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next seven succeeding business days should consult their own legal advisors.
