Optional Redemption:

We may, at our option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, as follows:

• Prior to October 1, 2042, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

• 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and

• as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal on the Notes to be redeemed and interest thereon (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the date fixed for redemption), discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus 15 basis points,

• On or after October 1, 2042, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus in any case interest accrued and unpaid on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the date fixed for redemption.

We will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days before the date fixed for redemption to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date fixed for redemption, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed 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 remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date fixed for redemption, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date, or (b) if the corporate trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all the quotations received.

“Independent Investment Banker” means any one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that we may appoint.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for redemption, the average, as determined by the corporate trustee, 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 corporate trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealers that we may select.

Use of Proceeds:

The purchasers will pay the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to us in immediately available funds.

If we do not use the proceeds immediately, we will temporarily invest them in short-term investments.
