In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus a make-whole amount.⁸

In addition, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may authorize the issuance and sale of additional senior notes (the "Shelf Notes") in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) $350 million minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and the aggregate principal amount of notes accepted for purchase but not yet issued under the facility. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold from time to time at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and in such amounts as the Board may determine, subject to prospective purchasers' agreement to purchase the Shelf Notes. The Company will sell the Shelf Notes directly to such purchasers.
