The Notes Offering is expected to close on or about May 29, 2026, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Guarantors, conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the parties, and termination and other customary provisions. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes are being offered and sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Initial Purchasers intend to resell the Notes to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered, transferred or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.

The Initial Purchasers and certain of their respective affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they have received or may in the future receive customary fees and expenses. The Initial Purchasers and/or certain of their affiliates act as agents and/or lenders under the Company's revolving credit agreement and receive and are expected to receive customary fees for their services as well as reimbursement for certain expenses.

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem at par $400 million of the $800 million in principal amount outstanding of the Company's 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028, to repay $100 million of outstanding amounts under the Company's revolving credit facility, and to pay certain related fees and expenses.

**Item 8.01 *. Other Events.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Indemnification of the Purchasers*. The Company and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its affiliates, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchaser and each person who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in paragraph (b) of this Section 9. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Indemnification of the Company*. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to the Purchasers, but only with reference to written information relating to the Purchasers furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Purchasers may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the only written information furnished by the Purchasers consists of the following: the statements set forth in the first sentence of the paragraph under the caption "Commissions and Discounts" and the paragraph under the caption "Stabilization and Short Positions" in the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" in the Offering Memorandum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Notice and Procedures*. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel) (which counsel and local counsel will, in connection with any indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, be chosen by the Representative), and the indemnifying party

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Contribution*. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree and the Purchasers severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively "<u>Losses</u>") to which the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and by the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, and benefits received by the Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth in this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls a Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of a Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). In no case shall the Purchasers be responsible for any amount in excess of the discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by the Purchasers hereunder. Each Purchaser's respective obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 is several in proportion to its respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination</u>. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the delivery of and payment for the Securities, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, that, in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities at the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Defaulting Purchaser</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If, at the Closing Date, any Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Purchaser, the non-defaulting Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full Business Days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Purchasers may be necessary in the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "<u>Purchaser</u>" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases Securities that a defaulting Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the non-defaulting Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Purchaser's pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the non-defaulting Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Company and the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 13 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 9 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be liable for the payment of expenses incurred by any defaulting Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Representations and Indemnities to Survive</u>. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, the Company's officers and of the Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or the Company, the Guarantors or any of the affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7, 9 and 12 to 23 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reimbursement</u>. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated (i) because a condition to the obligations of the Purchasers set forth in Section 8 (excluding Section 8(b)) hereof is not satisfied, (ii) because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof, or (iii) because of any refusal, inability or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Purchasers, then, in each case, the Company agrees to reimburse the Purchasers on demand through the Representative for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>.

The Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers and any affiliate through which they may be acting, on the other, (b) the Purchasers are acting as principals and not as agents or fiduciaries of the Company and the Guarantors and (c) the Company's and the Guarantors' engagement of the Purchasers in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on related or other matters). The Company and each Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or to any Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>PATRIOT Act</u>.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and the requirements of 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230, the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.
