The Issuer's obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in the Issuer's discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among others, the Issuer's receipt of aggregate proceeds (before underwriter's discounts and commissions and other offering expenses) from an offering of new senior unsecured notes, on terms satisfactory to the Issuer.  The complete terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Offer Documents.  Holders of the Notes are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully. 

The applicable "Tender Offer Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Tender Offer Documents by reference to the applicable fixed spread specified for such Notes specified in the table above plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated.
