(collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the 5.125% Notes, (ii) the Pricing Agreement, dated October 26, 2026

Company and the Underwriters, relating to the 5.450% Notes, (iv) the Pricing Agreement, dated October 26, 2026
(the “5.900% Notes Pricing Agreement” and, together with the 5.125% Notes Pricing Agreement, the 5.300% Notes
Pricing Agreement and the 5.450% Notes Pricing Agreement, the “Pricing Agreements”), between the Company and
the Underwriters, relating to the 5.900% Notes and (v) the Underwriting Agreement, dated October 26, 2026,
between the Company and the Underwriters incorporated by reference in the Pricing Agreements.
In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined the
originals or certified, conformed, electronic or reproduction copies, of such agreements, instruments, documents and
records of the Company, such certificates of public officials and such other documents and (iii) received such
information from officers and representatives of the Company and others, in each case, as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. We examined, among other documents, the following:

they are a party, (b) perform their obligations thereunder and (c) consummate the transactions contemplated thereby;
(ii) each of the Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto, the
execution thereof does not violate the charter, the bylaws or any other organizational document of any such parties
or the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of any such parties, and each of the Documents
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of all the parties thereto enforceable against such parties in accordance
with its respective terms (other than as expressly addressed in the opinion below as to the Company); (iii) the Debt
Securities have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture

(including judicial decisions);
(iii)related to (a) forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
