The company's obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of its subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's obligations under the Company's existing credit facilities. The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per year. The 2032 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per year. Interest payments on the Notes are due semi-annually each January 31 and July 31, with the first interest payment due on July 31, 2022. The 2030 Notes will mature on January 31, 2030, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2030 Notes Indenture. The 2032 Notes will mature on January 31, 2032, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2032 Notes Indenture. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes of a series at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the applicable Indenture. If the Company experiences specific kinds of changes in control and certain negative actions are taken with respect to the ratings of the Notes of a series, the Company must offer to repurchase such Notes on the terms set forth in the applicable Indenture. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured debt, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior debt and rank senior to all of its existing and future subordinated debt. The guarantees of the Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the guarantors' existing and future secured debt, rank equally with all of their existing and future senior debt and rank senior to all of their existing and future subordinated debt. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company's non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Indentures limit the Company's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or suffer to exist liens and consolidate, merge, amalgamate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets. The Indentures contain customary events of default that include, among other things (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods): non-payment of principal, interest or premium; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-acceleration with certain other indebtedness; certain judgments; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs (subject to certain exceptions), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
