(1)	As of August 18, 2020.
(2)	Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the applicable last interest payment with respect to the Notes accepted for purchase to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).
(3)	Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).
(4)	The final proration factor has been rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point for presentation purposes.

The amount of each series of Notes expected to be accepted for purchase was determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers as set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Offer to Purchase”).  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Company expects to accept and pay for Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date, subject to proration described herein, on or about September 2, 2020 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders of Notes that have been accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Date will receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). In addition to the Total Consideration, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Date will receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The deadline for holders to validly withdraw tenders of Notes has passed. Accordingly, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn or revoked, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal or revocation rights are required by law.

Although the Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at Midnight, New York City time, at the end of September 15, 2020, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date. Because holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offers validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or before the Early Tender Date in an amount that exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the 2023 Senior Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date are expected to be accepted on a pro rata basis, subject to a proration factor of approximately 25.2%.

The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Such conditions may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. Any waiver of a condition by the Company will not constitute a waiver of any other condition.
