Subject to certain limitations, in the event of the occurrence of both (1)&#160;a change of control of the Company and (2)&#160;a downgrade of the Notes below investment grade rating by both Moody&#8217;s Investors&#8217; Services, Inc. and Standard&#160;&amp; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services within a specified time period, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement, the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. </p> <p style="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&#160;</p>

(the &#147;<B>Base Indenture</B>&#148;), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, a nationally chartered banking association, as trustee, as supplemented by the Twenty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of December&nbsp;8, 2023
(the &#147;<B>Supplemental Indenture</B>,&#148; and together with the Base Indenture, the &#147;<B>Indenture</B>&#148;). The Notes will be issued and sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated as of December&nbsp;5, 2023 (the
&#147;<B>Underwriting Agreement</B>&#148;), among the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., acting as representatives of the several underwriters named in
Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on the Underwriting
Agreement, the Indenture, and certificates evidencing the Notes. In addition, we have examined and relied on the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such records of the Company and such other instruments and
other certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and such other persons, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In our examination,
we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified,
conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies (including EDGAR documents) and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties
thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery
by such parties, of such documents and that (except to the extent we have opined on such matters below) such documents constitute or will constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto. </P>
