On and after the Par Call Date, the Securities of such series are redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, either in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid Interest on the principal amount of the Securities of such series being redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date.

Written notice of redemption must be given to Holders of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date.

If less than all of the Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected in the manner provided in Section 1103 of the Indenture in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount in excess thereof; provided that, in the case of any Security of such series redeemed in part, the unredeemed portion thereof shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not redeem the Securities of such series on any date if the principal amount of the Securities of such series has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture.

The redemption of the Securities of such series shall otherwise be made as provided in the Indenture, including Article Eleven thereof.

Certain Definitions

“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination of the Treasury Rate, then such other reasonably comparable index as the Company shall designate.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the arithmetic mean of the yields for the five most recent days published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining term (the “Remaining Life”) of the Securities of such series to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that such Securities matured on the Par Call Date). If no maturity exactly corresponds to such Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such Remaining Life shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company on the third business day preceding the date on which the Company mails or otherwise transmits notice of redemption to the Holders of the applicable Securities of such series. For purposes of determining the Treasury Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the applicable date of determination of the Treasury Rate shall be used. As used in the second preceding sentence, the term “business day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.
