TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES General We may issue one or more series of senior debt securities pursuant to this prospectus. We will issue the senior debt securities under that certain indenture (the “Senior Indenture”), dated August 8, 2019, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (“Senior Indenture Trustee”). The Senior Indenture is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Below is a description of certain general terms of the senior debt securities. The description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Senior Indenture. The particular terms of a series of senior debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement and, if applicable, a pricing supplement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this summary have the meanings specified in the Senior Indenture. The senior debt securities will rank equally with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Senior Indenture is subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Senior Indenture does not limit the amount of senior debt securities which we may issue, nor does it limit us or our subsidiaries from issuing any other unsecured debt. Such other unsecured debt may have different terms than the senior debt securities. Our previously issued and outstanding senior debt may have different terms from the senior debt securities (including different restrictive covenants and event of default provisions). The terms of the senior debt securities issued under this prospectus will only be as described in the Senior Indenture, this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. Each prospectus supplement, together with a pricing supplement, if applicable, will describe the terms relating to a series of senior debt securities, which may include:
