Notes Held in Certificated Non-Global Form.
While we do not expect any Notes to be issued to a Holder other than DTC or its nominee in physical certificates after the date hereof, in the event that physical certificates evidencing the Notes are issued to such a Holder, then, in order to
exercise the Repurchase Right with respect to such Notes, any such Holder of the Notes must complete and sign a Repurchase Notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A in accordance with the instructions set forth therein,
have the signature thereon guaranteed and deliver such manually signed Repurchase Notice to the Paying Agent between 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, and 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date. For such a Holder to receive payment of the Repurchase Price for such Notes with respect to the Repurchase Right was exercised, the Holder must deliver such Notes to the Paying Agent prior to, on or after the Repurchase Date together with all
necessary endorsements.
All signatures on a Repurchase Notice and endorsing the Notes must be guaranteed by a recognized participant in
the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program, or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each, an Eligible Institution); provided, however, that signatures need not
be guaranteed if such Notes are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If a Repurchase Notice or any Note is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian,
attorney-in-fact, agent, officer of a corporation, or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person must so indicate when signing, and
proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted.
You bear the risk of untimely
surrender of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC or Paying Agent procedures, as applicable, before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Right of Withdrawal. You may withdraw your previous exercise of the Repurchase Right with respect to any
Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, which is the second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date. |
Except as described below with respect to Notes, if any, for which physical certificates are issued to a Holder other than DTC or its nominee,
in order to withdraw your previous exercise of the Repurchase Right, you must comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. This means you must deliver, or cause to be
delivered, a valid withdrawal request through the ATOP system before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
If after the date hereof physical certificates evidencing the Notes are issued to a Holder other than DTC or its nominee, any such Holder who
desires to withdraw any previously surrendered Notes evidenced by physical certificates must, instead of complying with the DTC withdrawal procedures, complete and sign a notice of withdrawal specifying (i) the principal amount of the Notes
with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which portion must be US$1,000 aggregate principal amount or an integral multiple thereof, (ii) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted, and (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of US$1,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000, and deliver such manually signed
notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
In addition,
pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii) promulgated under the Exchange Act, if Holders timely surrender Notes for purchase under the Repurchase Right, they are also permitted to withdraw such Notes on Friday,
December 27, 2024 (New York City time) in the event that we have not yet accepted the Notes for payment on or prior to December 27, 2024 (New York City time). Pursuant to the Indenture, we are required to deposit with the Paying Agent on
or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, November 29, 2024, which is one business day prior to the Repurchase Date, an appropriate amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the Repurchase Price.
You may exercise the Repurchase Right with respect to Notes for which your election to exercise your Repurchase Right had been previously
withdrawn, by following the procedures described in Section 3 above.
