Option Interest Deferral:    So long as no event of default (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, for one or more Optional Deferral Periods (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of up to 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) each, except that no such Optional Deferral Period 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.

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 Issuer 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 Issuer may elect, at its option, to extend the length of any Optional Deferral Period that is shorter than 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods (so long as the entire Optional Deferral Period does not exceed 20 consecutive semi-annual Interest Payment Periods or


  

extend beyond the final maturity date of the Notes) and to shorten the length of any Optional Deferral Period. The Issuer cannot begin a new Optional Deferral Period until the Issuer has paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from any previous Optional Deferral Period.

We expect to deliver the Notes against payment for the Notes on or about September 9, 2024, which will be the fourth business day following the date of the pricing of the Notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days should consult their own advisors.
