The Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated April 2, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (such trustee or any successor trustee, the “Trustee”).

In our examination of such documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons who have executed such documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and that statements regarding matters of fact in certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are accurate and complete.
