LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein. The Notes were issued and sold under the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-215919) and a related prospectus supplement and prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of October 28, 2010 (the “Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by a Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 28, 2010 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), each between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2023 Floating Rate Notes, the 2020 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2023 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2027 Fixed Rate Notes are each sometimes referred to as a “series” of Notes. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary indemnification provisions.

The 2023 Floating Rate Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to their maturity. The 2020 Fixed Rate Notes, the 2023 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2027 Fixed Rate Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the applicable redemption prices specified in the respective forms of Note of such series included in Exhibit 4.3 hereto.

In addition, if a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the respective forms of the Notes included in Exhibit 4.3 hereto) occurs with respect to the Notes of any series, the Company will be required, subject to certain exceptions, to offer to repurchase the Notes of such series at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The foregoing description of some of the terms of the Notes and the Underwriting Agreement are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the complete terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the officers’ certificate establishing the form and terms of the Notes of each series, and the respective forms of the Notes of each series, which are filed or incorporated by reference, as the case may be, as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 through 4.7 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Sidley Austin LLP provided the Company with the legal opinion attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
