For withdrawals of Shares delivered through The Depository Trust Company (the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), this notice of withdrawal (this Notice of Withdrawal) should only be used for such withdrawals if the undersigned needs to withdraw Shares after the Book-Entry Transfer Facility closes, which is expected to occur at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Expiration Date is one (1) minute after 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on September 9, 2019, unless the Offers are extended or terminated, as extended. In the unlikely event the Offers have different Expiration Dates (e.g., due to an extension of one Offer and not the other), Expiration Date shall mean the applicable Expiration Date as the context shall so require. Otherwise, the Book-Entry Transfer Facilitys form of notice of withdrawal should be used for such Shares.
This form must be signed below by the applicable Book-Entry Transfer Facility participant as its name appears on a security position listing showing such participant as the owner of the Shares being tendered. If signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, please set forth the full title of such persons.

The Company will determine all questions as to the form and validity, including the time of receipt, of any notice of withdrawal, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Company nor the Counterparty Banks, the Dealer Managers, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur liability for failure to give any such notification.
Withdrawals may not be rescinded, and any Shares properly withdrawn will be deemed not properly tendered for purposes of the Offers. However, withdrawn Shares may be re-tendered before the applicable Expiration Date by again following one of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
