The following defined terms used solely for purposes of this Section 1.04 shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below for purposes of the Notes.

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per year, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, equal to (i) the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue;providedthat if no maturity is within three months before or after the Par Call Date for the Notes being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month; or (ii) if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Par Call Date of the Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received.

(and its successors), Mizuho Securities USA LLC (and its successors) and any other nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer specified from time to time by the Company. If, however, any of them shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, the Company will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is such a dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

4

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on each Note to be redeemed that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date. If the Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to the Note being redeemed, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the Note being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to that Redemption Date.

SECTION 1.05Denominations.

The Notes shall be issued only in fully registered book-entry form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
