The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2020 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with the Company's other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per annum and were priced at 99.787% of par. The 2030 Notes will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year commencing on November 15, 2020. The 2030 Notes will mature on May 15, 2030. The 2050 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.950% per annum and were priced at 99.424% of par. The 2050 Notes will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year commencing on November 15, 2020. The 2050 Notes will mature on May 15, 2050.

At any time prior to February 15, 2030, in the case of the 2030 Notes, and November 15, 2049, in the case of the 2050 Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a specified "make whole" premium described in the Indenture. The Company also has the option, at any time on or after February 15, 2030, in the case of the 2030 Notes, and November 15, 2049, in the case of the 2050 Notes, to redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, as more fully described in the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to grant liens on its assets and merge, consolidate or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Notes and the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Notes are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 8, 2020 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), among the Company and the initial purchasers listed therein. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an offer to exchange the Notes for a new issuance of substantially identical notes issued under the Securities Act (the "Exchange Offer") and to cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated within 365 days after May 8, 2020. The Company may be required to provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes under certain circumstances.
