(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or as otherwise specified herein, this Note will be designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and, except as set forth herein or specified above, will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, then, except as set forth herein or specified above, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate specified above or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, then, except as set forth herein or specified above, this Note will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified above or herein, the interest rate hereon will not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Interest Reset Basis specified above is the CMT Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the CMT Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “CMT Rate” means with respect to any Interest Determination Date:
(i) If Reuters Page FRBCMT (as defined below) is specified above, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as published in the H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as the yield is displayed on Reuters page FRBCMT (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”) or, if not so displayed, as displayed on the Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) service (or any successor service) on page NDX7 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (“Bloomberg Page NDX7”), for such Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX7, as the case may be, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above and for such Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate does not appear in the H.15 Daily Update, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified above as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Company determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in the H.15 Daily Update. If such rate is not published as specified in the preceding sentence, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a “Reference Dealer”), which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Company (from five such Reference Dealers so selected by the Company and
