           the “Senior Notes”) are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment with the Company’s
           existing  and  future  unsubordinated  indebtedness.   Upon  a  change‐of‐control  repurchase  event  and  a  resulting  below‐
           investment‐grade credit rating, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding Senior Notes,
           with the exception of the 7% Debentures due 2025, at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior
           Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
           The Senior Notes are carried net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by the effective interest method over the
           life of the issue. With the exception of the Floating Rate Senior Notes, due 2020, the Senior Notes are redeemable prior to their
           respective maturity dates at a make‐whole redemption price. The principal amount, effective interest rate and maturity date
           for the Senior Notes are as follows:

                                                            Principal        Effective

           The Company has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Truist Bank, as successor by
           merger to SunTrust Bank and formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.,
           and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co‐Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides
           for a $700.0 million five‐year senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving
           Facility  bear  interest,  at  the  Company’s  option,  at  rates  based  upon  LIBOR  or  a  base  rate,  plus,  for  each  rate,  a  margin
           determined in accordance with a ratings‐based pricing grid.
           The  Credit  Agreement  requires  the Company’s  ratio  of  consolidated  debt‐to‐consolidated  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
           depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing‐twelve months (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.50x
