The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes at its option, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part, prior to September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments

of principal and interest thereon from the date of redemption to the date that is three months prior to maturity, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On or after that date, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On December 8, 2022, the Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC announced a downgrade of the Company's issuer and debt ratings from BBB- to BB+. As a result, pursuant to the Company's agreement, the interest rate of its Senior Notes increased from 6.25% to 7.25%. If the Company's rating is upgraded, the interest rate will decrease to 6.25%. On July 21, 2025, the Company's rating was upgraded, please see Note 18 for more information.

The Company's Senior Notes provide that the Company and its subsidiaries shall not incur any indebtedness unless no default exists and the Company’s leverage ratio as of the last day of any annual or quarterly period (the balance sheet date) immediately preceding the date on which such additional indebtedness is incurred would have been no greater than 0.3:1, determined on a pro forma basis as if the additional indebtedness and all other indebtedness incurred since the immediately preceding balance sheet date had been incurred and the proceeds therefrom applied as of such day. The Company and its subsidiaries also may not create, assume, incur or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured by a lien on the voting stock of any significant subsidiary without securing the Senior Notes equally. The Company may not issue, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the capital stock of the Company’s significant subsidiaries as of the issue date of the Senior Notes (except to the Company or to one or more of the Company’s other subsidiaries, or for the purpose of qualifying directors or as may be required by law or regulation), subject to certain exceptions. These covenants are evaluated at the end of each calendar year, and at December 31, 2024, while the Company's leverage ratio was greater than the allowed ratio above, the Company did not incur any additional indebtedness during the period and as a result, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Senior Notes.
