determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield
or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation
or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal”
(or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable:
(1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date
(the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining
Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding
to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date
on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or
maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury
constant maturity from the redemption date.</P>

preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company will calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum
equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption
date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there
is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a
maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date
following the Par Call Date, the Company will select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date.
If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities
meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company will select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities
the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United
States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph,
the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked
prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and
rounded to three decimal places.</P>
