You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any pricing supplement. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any pricing supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of the applicable pricing supplement.




RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks. In consultation with your own financial and legal advisers, you should carefully consider, among other matters, the following discussion of risks before deciding whether an investment in the notes is suitable for you. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are unsophisticated with respect to the significant components and their relationships.

Structure Risks of Notes Indexed to Interest Rates, Currencies or Other Indices or Formulas

If you invest in notes indexed to one or more interest rates, currencies or other indices or formulas, there will be significant risks not associated with a conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt security. These risks include fluctuation of the indices or formulas that may cause you to receive a lower, or no, amount of principal, premium or interest and to receive these amounts at different times than you expected. We have no control over a number of matters, including economic, financial and political events, that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their results. In addition, if an index or formula used to determine any amounts payable in respect of the notes contains a multiplier or leverage factor, the effect of any change in that index or formula will be magnified. In recent years, values of certain indices and formulas have been volatile and volatility in those and other indices and formulas may be expected in the future. However, past experience is not necessarily indicative of what may occur in the future.

Foreign Currency Risks

If you invest in notes that are denominated or provide for payments in a currency other than United States dollars, there will be significant risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a debt security denominated in United States dollars. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the specified currency and the possibility of the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls by either the United States or foreign governments. We have no control over these risks, which depend on economic, financial and political events and the supply and demand for the relevant currencies. In addition, if the formula used to determine any amount payable with respect to foreign currency notes contains a multiplier or leverage factor, the effect of any change in the relevant currencies will be magnified. In recent years, rates of exchange between the United States dollar and certain foreign currencies have been highly volatile and such volatility may be expected to continue in the future. However, past experience in the fluctuation of exchange rates are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rates that may occur during the term of any foreign currency note.

Governments may impose or revise exchange controls which could affect the availability of the specified currency at the maturity of a foreign currency note. Even if there are no exchange controls, it is possible that the specified currency for any particular foreign currency note would not be available on any interest payment date or at maturity due to other circumstances beyond our control. In that event, we will pay any amounts due under the note in United States dollars based on the most recently available exchange rate.

Redemption May Adversely Affect Your Return on the Notes

If your notes are redeemable at our option or are otherwise subject to mandatory redemption, we may, in the case of optional redemption, or must, in the case of mandatory redemption, choose to redeem your notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. As a result, you generally will not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the notes.

S-3




There May Not Be Any Trading Market for Your Notes; Many Factors Affect the Trading Value of Your Notes

We cannot assure you a trading market for your notes will ever develop or be maintained. Many factors independent of our creditworthiness may affect the trading market for your notes. These factors include:

·       the complexity and volatility of the index or formula applicable to the notes,

·       the method of calculating the principal, premium and interest in respect of the notes,

·       the time remaining to the maturity of the notes,

·       the outstanding amount of the notes,

·       the redemption features of the notes,

·       the amount of other securities linked to the index or formula applicable to the notes, and

·       the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.

In addition, because some notes were designed for specific investment objectives or strategies, these notes may have a more limited trading market and may experience more price volatility. There may be a limited number of buyers for these notes. This may affect the price you receive for these notes or your ability to sell these notes at all. You should not purchase notes unless you understand the investment risks and know you can bear them.

The Credit Rating May Not Reflect All Risks of an Investment in the Notes

The credit rating of the notes is an assessment of our ability to pay the notes. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of your notes. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors discussed above on the value of your notes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The notes will be issued as a single series of debt securities under an indenture, dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989, between PFC and Wilmington Trust Company., as trustee. The term “senior debt securities,” as used in this prospectus supplement, refers to all securities issued and issuable from time to time under the Indenture and includes the notes. The senior debt securities and the Indenture are more fully described in the accompanying prospectus. The following summary of the material provisions of the notes and of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any pricing supplement. Neither we nor the agents have authorized any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. Neither we nor the agents are making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any pricing supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of the applicable pricing supplement.

S-4




The following description of notes will apply unless otherwise specified in an applicable pricing supplement.

Terms of the Notes

All senior debt securities, including the notes, issued and to be issued under the Indenture will be unsecured general obligations of PFC and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of PFC from time to time outstanding.

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of senior debt securities or the amount of notes which PFC may issue. PFC may issue an unlimited amount of notes, as authorized by our Board of Directors from time to time. PFC may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, provide for the issuance of other senior debt securities under the Indenture in addition to the notes offered by this prospectus supplement.

The notes will be offered on a continuing basis and will mature on a day nine months or more from the date of issue, as selected by the purchaser and agreed to by PFC. Interest-bearing notes will bear interest at either fixed or floating rates as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Notes may be issued at significant discounts from their principal amount payable at stated maturity, or on any date before the stated maturity date on which the principal or an installment of principal of a note becomes due and payable, whether by the declaration of acceleration, call for redemption at the option of PFC, repayment at the option of the holder or otherwise (the stated maturity date or such prior date, as the case may be, is referred to as, a “Maturity”). Some notes may not bear interest.

Unless otherwise indicated in a note and in the applicable pricing supplement, the notes will be denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on such notes will be made in, United States dollars. PFC may also issue notes (“foreign currency notes”) that are denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on such notes will be made in, a currency other than United States dollars (a “specified currency”). The terms of and any considerations relating to any foreign currency notes will be described in the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement. See “Special Provisions Relating to Foreign Currency Denominated Notes.”

The terms of the notes provide that PFC may at any time, including more than one year prior to the stated maturity of the notes, be discharged from its obligations on the notes by providing for payment when due of the principal of, and interest on, the notes and by satisfying certain other conditions, all as described under “Description of Securities—Provisions of the Indenture—Satisfaction and Discharge” in the accompanying prospectus.

Until the notes are paid or payment of the notes is provided for, PFC will, at all times maintain a paying agent in The City of New York capable of performing the duties described in this prospectus supplement to be performed by the paying agent. PFC initially has appointed Citibank, N.A., as paying agent, acting through its corporate trust office at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York 10043. The notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange at the corporate trust office of the paying agent, provided that notes in book-entry form will be exchangeable only in the manner and to the extent set forth in “Description of the Notes—Book-Entry Notes” in this prospectus supplement and “Description of Securities—Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. PFC will notify the holders of the notes in accordance with the Indenture of any change in the paying agent or its address. There will be no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but PFC may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any transfer or exchange, other than exchanges pursuant to the Indenture not involving any transfer.

S-5




Interest rates, interest rate formulae and other variable terms of the notes are subject to change by PFC from time to time, but no change will affect any note already issued or as to which PFC has accepted an offer to purchase.

Each note will be issued in fully registered book-entry form or certificated form, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The authorized denominations of foreign currency notes will be indicated in the applicable pricing supplement.

PFC will make payments of principal, and premium and interest, if any, on notes in book-entry form through the trustee to the depository or its nominee. See “Description of the Notes—Book-Entry Notes” in this prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, a beneficial owner of notes in book-entry form that are denominated in a specified currency electing to receive payments of principal or any premium or interest in that specified currency must notify the participant of the depository through which its interest is held on or before the applicable regular record date, in the case of a payment of interest, and on or before the sixteenth day, whether or not a Business Day, as defined below, before its stated maturity date, in the case of principal or premium, of the beneficial owner’s election to receive all or a portion of any payment in a specified currency. The participant must notify the depositary of any election on or before the third Business Day after the regular record date. The depositary will notify the paying agent of the election on or before the fifth Business Day after the regular record date. If complete instructions are received by the participant and forwarded to the depositary, and forwarded by the depositary to the paying agent, on or before the relevant dates, the beneficial owner of the notes in book-entry form will receive payments in the specified currency.

In the case of notes in certificated form, PFC will make United States dollar payments of interest, other than interest payable at Maturity, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to such interest payment as shown on the note register. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a holder of $1,000,000, or the equivalent amount in a specified currency, or more in aggregate principal amount of notes in certificated form, whether having identical or different terms and provisions, will be entitled to receive interest payments, if any, other than interest payable at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the paying agent not less than fifteen days before the applicable interest payment date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the paying agent shall remain in effect until revoked by the holder. United States dollar payments of principal and interest at Maturity will be made in immediately available funds against presentation and surrender of the note at the office or agency of the paying agent designated for such purpose, provided the note is presented in time for the paying agent to make the payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. In the case of notes in book-entry form, United States dollar payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, will be made to the depository, as holder of the notes in book-entry form, in immediately available funds. For special payment terms applicable to foreign currency notes, see “Special Provisions Relating to Foreign Currency Denominated Notes “ in this prospectus supplement.

Each note will be denominated in the currency that is specified on the face of the applicable note and in the applicable pricing supplement. Purchasers will be required to pay for foreign currency notes in the specified currency. If requested on or before the fifth Business Day, as defined below, preceding the date of delivery of the notes, or by such other day as determined by the agent who presented the offer to purchase notes to PFC, such agent may be prepared to arrange for the conversion of United States dollars into the specified currency to enable the purchasers to pay for the notes. If agreed to by the agent, each conversion will be made by the agent on terms and subject to conditions, limitations and charges as the agent may from time to time establish in accordance with its regular foreign exchange practices. All costs of exchange will be borne by the purchasers of the applicable foreign currency notes.

S-6




“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, with respect to foreign currency notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the LIBOR Currency, as defined below, in London.

“Principal Financial Center” means, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement,

(1)         the capital city of the country issuing the specified currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively, or

(2)         the capital city of the country to which the LIBOR Currency relates, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

Transaction Amount

Interest rates offered by PFC with respect to the notes may differ depending upon, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of notes purchased in any transaction. PFC may offer notes with similar variable terms but different interest rates concurrently at any time. PFC may also concurrently offer notes having different variable terms to different investors.

Redemption at the Option of PFC

The notes will not be subject to any sinking fund. PFC may redeem the notes at its option before their stated maturity only if an initial redemption date is specified in the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement. If so indicated in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement, PFC may redeem the notes at its option on any date on and after the applicable initial redemption date specified in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement. On and after the initial redemption date, if any, PFC may redeem the related note at any time in whole or from time to time in part at its option at the applicable redemption price referred to below together with interest on the principal of the applicable note payable to the redemption date, on written notice given, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days before the redemption date. PFC will redeem the notes in increments of $1,000 or any other integral multiple of the authorized denomination of the applicable note, provided that any remaining principal amount will be at least $1,000 or the minimum authorized denomination of the note. The redemption price with respect to a note will initially mean a percentage, the initial redemption percentage, of the principal amount of the note specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement. The redemption price shall decline at each anniversary of the initial redemption date by the percentage of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the redemption price is 100% of the principal amount.

S-7




Repayment at the Option of the Holder

If so indicated in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement, PFC will repay the notes in whole or in part at the option of the holders of the notes on any optional repayment date specified in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement. If no optional repayment date is indicated with respect to a note, it will not be repayable at the option of the holder before its stated maturity. Any repayment in part will be in an amount equal to $1,000 or any other integral multiple of the authorized denomination of the applicable note, provided that any remaining principal amount will be at least $1,000 or the minimum authorized denomination of the note. The repurchase price for any note so repurchased will be 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest on the principal of the applicable note payable to the date of repayment. For any note to be repaid, the paying agent must receive, at its corporate trust office located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York 10043, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days before the optional repayment date:

·       in the case of a note in certificated form, the note and the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, or

·       in the case of a note in book-entry form, instructions to that effect from the applicable beneficial owner of the notes to the depository and forwarded by the depository.

Notices of elections to exercise the repayment option with respect to notes in book-entry form must be received by the paying agent by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day for giving such notice.

Only the depository may exercise the repayment option in respect of global securities representing notes in book-entry form. Accordingly, beneficial owners of global securities that desire to have all or any portion of the notes in book-entry form represented by global securities repaid must instruct the participant through which they own their interest to direct the depository to exercise the repayment option on their behalf by forwarding the repayment instructions to the paying agent as discussed above. In order to ensure that the instructions are received by the paying agent on a particular day, the applicable beneficial owner must so instruct the participant through which it owns its interest before that participant’s deadline for accepting instructions for that day. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, beneficial owners of notes in book-entry form should consult the participants through which they own their interest for the respective deadlines. All instructions given to participants from beneficial owners of notes in book-entry form relating to the option to elect repayment will be irrevocable. In addition, at the time instructions are given, each beneficial owner will cause the participant through which it owns its interest to transfer its interest in the global security or securities representing the related notes in book-entry form, on the depository’s records, to the trustee.

Exercise of the repayment option by the holder of a note will be irrevocable.

If applicable, PFC will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any repayment at the option of the holder.

PFC may at any time purchase notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by PFC may, at the discretion of PFC, be held, resold or surrendered to the paying agent for cancellation.

S-8




Interest

Each note will bear interest from the date of issue at the rate per annum, in the case of a fixed rate note or, in the case of a floating rate note, pursuant to the interest rate formula, in each case as stated in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal of the note is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be payable in arrears on each interest payment date specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement on which an installment of interest is due and payable and at Maturity. Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement, interest payable on an interest payment date will be payable to the person in whose name the applicable note is registered at the close of business on (a) March 1 or September 1, whether or not a Business Day, next preceding the interest payment date in the case of a fixed rate note, or (b) the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, next preceding the interest payment date in the case of a floating rate note (in each case, the “record date”); provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. The first payment of interest on any note originally issued between a record date and the related interest payment date will be made on the interest payment date immediately following the next succeeding record date to the registered holder on the next succeeding record date.

Fixed Rate Notes

Each fixed rate note will bear interest from, and including, the date of issue, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal amount of the note is paid or made available for payment. Interest payments on fixed rate notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid with respect to the applicable fixed rate notes, to, but excluding, the related interest payment date or Maturity, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, Interest on fixed rate notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on fixed rate notes will be payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year and at Maturity. If any interest payment date or the Maturity of a fixed rate note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the applicable payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the interest payment date or the Maturity, as the case may be.

Floating Rate Notes

Interest on floating rate notes will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, which may be one or more of:

·       the CD Rate,

·       the CMT Rate,

·       the Commercial Paper Rate,

·       the Federal Funds Rate,

·       LIBOR,

·       EURIBOR,

·       the Prime Rate,

·       the Treasury Rate, or

S-9




·       any other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula that is specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

A floating rate note may bear interest with respect to two or more Interest Rate Bases.

Terms.   Each applicable pricing supplement will specify certain terms of the floating rate note being delivered, including:

·       whether the floating rate note is

·        a “Regular Floating Rate Note”,

·        an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or

·        a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”,

·       the Interest Rate Basis or Bases,

·       the Initial Interest Rate,

·       the Interest Reset Dates,

·       the interest payment dates,

·       the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the Interest Rate Basis or Bases will be calculated (the “Index Maturity”),

·       the Maximum Interest Rate and Minimum Interest Rate, if any,

·       the number of basis points to be added to or subtracted from the related Interest Rate Basis or Bases (the “Spread”),

·       the percentage of the related Interest Rate Basis or Bases by which the Interest Rate Basis or Bases will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest rate (the “Spread Multiplier”),

·       if one or more of the specified Interest Rate Bases is EURIBOR, the Index Maturity, and

·       if one or more of the specified Interest Rate Bases is the CMT Rate, the CMT Moneyline Telerate Page, the weekly average or the monthly average and the Index Maturity.

The interest rate borne by the floating rate notes will be determined as follows:

Regular Floating Rate Notes.   Unless a floating rate note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, an Inverse Floating Rate Note or as having an Addendum attached or as having “Other Provisions” apply relating to a different interest rate formula, it will be a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

·       plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

·       multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any.

Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the Regular Floating Rate Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

S-10




Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes.   If a floating rate note is designated as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, it will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

·       plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

·       multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any.

Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the applicable Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that:

·       the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate, and

·       the interest rate in effect commencing on, and including, the date on which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis to Maturity will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if the rate is specified in the applicable pricing supplement, or if no Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect on the Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note on the day immediately preceding the date on which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis.

Inverse Floating Rate Notes.   If a floating rate note is designated as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, except as described below, it will bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest Rate specified in the note and the related pricing supplement minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

·       plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

·       multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any;

provided, however, the interest rate on the applicable Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the applicable Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. Except as set forth above, the interest rate in effect on each day will be based on:

·       if the day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date, as defined below, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date or

·       if the day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date.

Interest Reset Dates.   The applicable floating rate note and the applicable pricing supplement will specify the dates on which the interest rate on the related floating rate note will be reset (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Interest Reset Date will be, in the case of floating rate notes which reset:

·       daily—each Business Day;

·       weekly—the Wednesday of each week, with the exception of weekly reset floating rate notes as to which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset the Tuesday of each week, except as described below;

·       monthly—the third Wednesday of each month;

·       quarterly—the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year;

S-11




·       semiannually—the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable pricing supplement; or

·       annually—the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable pricing supplement;

provided, however, that with respect to Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes, the rate of interest will not reset after the applicable date on which interest on a fixed rate basis begins to accrue.

If any Interest Reset Date for any floating rate note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. However, in the case of a floating rate note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, then the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, in the case of a floating rate note for which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the applicable Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

Maximum and Minimum Interest Rates.   A floating rate note may also have either or both of the following:

·       a maximum numerical limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest period (a “Maximum Interest Rate”), and

·       a minimum numerical limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any period (a “Minimum Interest Rate”).

The Indenture and any senior debt securities issued under the Indenture, including the notes, are and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Under present New York law, the maximum rate of interest, with certain exceptions, is 25% per annum on a simple interest basis. This limit may not apply to securities in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested. While PFC believes that New York law would be given effect by a state or federal court sitting outside of New York, state laws frequently regulate the amount of interest that may be charged to and paid by a borrower, including, in some cases, corporate borrowers. It is suggested that prospective investors consult their personal advisors with respect to the applicability of these laws.

Interest Payments.   Each applicable pricing supplement will specify the dates on which interest will be payable. Each floating rate note will bear interest from the date of issue at the rates specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal of the note is paid or otherwise made available for payment. Except as provided below, the interest payment dates with respect to floating rate notes will be, in the case of floating rate notes which reset:

·       daily, weekly or monthly—the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement;

·       quarterly—the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year;

·       semiannually—the third Wednesday of each of the two months of each year specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement;

·       annually—the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement; and

·       at Maturity.

S-12




If any interest payment date for any floating rate note, other than an interest payment date on the Maturity, would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon will continue to accrue. However, in the case of a floating rate note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable interest payment date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity of a floating rate note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on floating rate notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545%, or .09876545, would be rounded to 9.87655%, or ..0987655. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on floating rate notes will be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upward.

Interest payments on floating rate notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid with respect to the applicable floating rate note, to, but excluding, the related interest payment date or Maturity, as the case may be.

With respect to each floating rate note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying its principal amount by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.

·       In the case of notes for which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to each day by 360.

·       In the case of notes for which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to each day by the actual number of days in the year.

·       The interest factor for notes for which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

Interest Determination Dates.   The interest rate applicable to each interest reset period commencing on the Interest Reset Date with respect to that interest reset period will be the rate determined as of the applicable “Interest Determination Date.”

·       The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the CD Rate, the CMT Rate or the Commercial Paper Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date.

·       The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the Interest Reset Date.

·       The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the second London Banking Day preceding each Interest Reset Date.

·       The Interest Determination Date with respect to EURIBOR will be the second Euro Banking Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date.

·       The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement

S-13




are normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction falls on any Interest Reset Date, then the related Interest Reset Date will instead be the first Business Day following the auction.

·       The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a note the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the applicable Interest Reset Date for the applicable note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined on the Interest Determination Date, and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

Calculation Date.   Citibank, N.A. will be the calculation agent with respect to the floating rate notes. The calculation agent will notify PFC and the paying agent of each determination of the interest rate applicable to any floating rate note promptly after the determination is made. The paying agent will, upon the request of the holder of any floating rate note, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined and notified to the paying agent, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to that note. The paying agent will not be responsible for determining the interest rate applicable to any floating rate note. The calculation date, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of:

·       the tenth calendar day after the applicable Interest Determination Date, or, if the tenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or

·       the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

Other Provisions; Addenda

Any provisions with respect to an issue of notes, including the determination of one or more Interest Rate Bases, the specification of one or more Interest Rate Bases, the calculation of the interest rate applicable to a floating rate note, the applicable interest payment dates, the stated maturity date, any redemption or repayment provisions or any other matter relating to the applicable notes may be modified by the terms as specified under “Other Provisions” on the face of the applicable notes or in an Addendum relating to the applicable notes, if so specified on the face of the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement.

Original Issue Discount Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes at a price less than their redemption price at Maturity, resulting in the applicable notes being treated as if they were issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes (“Original Issue Discount Notes”). Original Issue Discount Notes may currently pay no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. Additional considerations relating to any Original Issue Discount Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

Amortizing Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Amortizing Notes”), with amounts of principal and interest payable in installments over the term of the notes. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on each Amortizing Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Payments with respect to Amortizing Notes will be applied first to interest due and payable on the Amortizing Notes and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount of the Amortizing Notes. Further information concerning additional terms and conditions of any issue of Amortizing Notes will be provided in the applicable pricing supplement. A table setting forth repayment information in respect of each Amortizing Note will be included in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement.

Linked Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Linked Notes”) the principal value of which at Maturity will be determined by reference to:

(a)          one or more debt securities, including, but not limited to, the price or yield of such securities,

(b)         any statistical measure of economic or financial performance, including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or

(c)          the price or value of any commodity or any other item or index or any combination,

(collectively, the “Linked Securities”). The payment or delivery of any consideration on any Linked Note at Maturity will be determined by the decrease or increase, as applicable, in the price or value of the applicable Linked Securities. The terms of and any additional considerations, including any material tax consequences, relating to any Linked Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

S-23




Extendible Maturity Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Extendible Maturity Notes”) with the option to extend the maturity of the notes to one or more dates indicated in the notes and the applicable pricing supplement. The terms of and any additional considerations relating to any Extendible Maturity Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

Book-Entry Notes

Description of the Global Securities

Upon issuance, all notes in book-entry form having the same date of issue, stated maturity date and otherwise having identical terms and provisions will be represented by one or more fully registered global notes (the “Global Notes”). Each Global Note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY,  as depository registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for notes in certificated form, no Global Note may be transferred except as a whole:

·       by DTC to a nominee of DTC, or

·       by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC, or

·       by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of the successor.

DTC Procedures

The following is based on information furnished by DTC:

DTC will act as securities depository for the notes in book-entry form. The notes in book-entry form will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered Global Note will be issued for each issue of notes in book-entry form, each in the aggregate principal amount of the issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500,000,000, one Global Note will be issued with respect to each $500,000,000 of principal amount and an additional Global Note will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of the issue.

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants of DTC include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of its direct participants and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC

S-24




and its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchasers of notes in book-entry form under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for those notes in book-entry form on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each note in book-entry form represented by a Global Note (“beneficial owner”) is, in turn, to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. Beneficial owners of notes in book-entry form will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in a Global Note representing notes in book-entry form are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners of a Global Note representing notes in book-entry form will not receive notes in certificated form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for such notes in book-entry form is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Global Notes representing notes in book-entry form which are deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Global Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Global Notes representing the notes in book-entry form; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes in book-entry form are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the notes, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the notes. For example, beneficial owners may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the notes for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to beneficial owners. In the alternative, beneficial owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Global Notes representing the notes in book-entry form unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to PFC as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the notes in book-entry form are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

PFC will make principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, payments on the Global Notes representing the notes in book-entry form in immediately available funds to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC . DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information, on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of the applicable participant and not of DTC, PFC or the trustee, subject to

S-25




any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of PFC or the trustee, disbursement of payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct participants and indirect participants.

If applicable, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the notes in book-entry form of like tenor and terms are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the issue to be redeemed.

A beneficial owner will give notice of any option to elect to have its notes in book-entry form repaid by PFC, through its participant, to the trustee, and shall effect delivery of the applicable notes in book-entry form by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the Global Note notes in book-entry form, on DTC’s records, to the paying agent. The requirement for physical delivery of notes in book-entry form in connection with a demand for repayment will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Global Note or Notes representing the notes in book-entry form are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of the Global Note or Notes to the paying agent’s DTC account.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the notes in book-entry form at any time by giving reasonable notice to PFC or the trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, notes in certificated form are required to be printed and delivered.

PFC may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor securities depository. In that event, notes in certificated form will be printed and delivered to DTC.

The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in Global Notes.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, beneficial owners of a Global Note will not be entitled to have the notes represented by a Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by PFC or the trustee under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. PFC understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that PFC requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the desired action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the desired action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to indirect participants and by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

S-26




Exchange for Notes in Certificated Form

If:

(a)          DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by PFC within 90 days, or

(b)         PFC determines that the Global Notes shall be exchangeable for notes in certificated form,

the Global Note or Global Notes will be exchangeable for notes in certificated form of like tenor and terms and of different authorized denominations aggregating an equal aggregate principal amount. The certificated notes will be registered in the name or names as DTC provides to the paying agent. It is expected that instructions may be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in Global Notes.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s system has been obtained from sources that PFC believes to be reliable, but PFC takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information.

A further description of DTC’s procedures with respect to Global Notes representing book-entry notes is in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of Securities—Global Securities.” DTC has confirmed to PFC that it intends to follow these procedures.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCY NOTES

Except as specified in the applicable pricing supplement, foreign currency notes (including notes denominated in the Euro) will not be sold in or to residents of the country or economic community issuing the currency in which particular notes are denominated. The information set forth in this prospectus supplement is directed to prospective purchasers who are United States residents, and it is by necessity incomplete with respect to foreign currency notes. PFC and the agents disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective purchasers who are residents of countries other than the United States with respect to any matters that may affect the purchase, holding or receipt of payments of principal of and premium, if any, and any interest on foreign currency notes. Prospective purchasers of foreign currency notes should consult their own financial and legal advisors with regard to such matters.

Payment of Principal, any Premium and Interest

Except as specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, we will pay the principal, any premium and interest on foreign currency notes in the specified currency. The Exchange Rate Agent named in the applicable pricing supplement will, unless otherwise specified below or in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, convert the payment into United States dollars for payment to holders. However, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, the holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive the payments in the specified currency, as described below.

PFC’s payment will be converted into United States dollars based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M. on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date for the purchase of the specified currency for United States dollars for settlement on the applicable payment date in the aggregate amount of the specified currency payable to all holders of foreign currency notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable foreign exchange dealer commits to execute a contract. The bid quotations shall be obtained from three recognized foreign exchange dealers, one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent, selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by PFC. If the bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the specified currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of the foreign currency note by deductions from such payments.

S-27




Unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, a holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment on that note in the specified currency. Any holder desiring to receive payment in the specified currency must submit a written request to the corporate trust office of the paying agent in The City of New York, on or before the applicable record date or at least fifteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. The written request may be mailed, hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. A holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive payment in the specified currency for all or a specified portion of all principal, any premium and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment. The election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the paying agent, but written notice of any revocation must be received by the paying agent on or before the relevant record date or at least the fifteenth calendar day before Maturity, as the case may be. Holders of foreign currency notes whose notes are to be held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether and how an election to receive payments in the specified currency may be made.

Principal, any premium and interest on a foreign currency note paid in United States dollars will be paid in the manner specified in this prospectus supplement for notes denominated in United States dollars. Interest on a foreign currency note paid in the specified currency which are to be made on an interest payment date other than at Maturity will be paid by check mailed to the address of the holder entitled to the interest payment as shown on the note register, subject to the right to receive interest payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds under the circumstances described under “Description of Notes—Terms of the Notes”. All checks payable in a specified currency will be drawn on a bank office located outside the United States. Payments of principal, any premium and interest on foreign currency notes paid in the specified currency at Maturity will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder at least fifteen days before Maturity, provided that the bank has appropriate facilities to make the wire transfer and that the note is presented and surrendered at the corporate trust office of the trustee or the paying agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in time for the paying agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, a beneficial owner of a note in book-entry form denominated in a specified currency may elect to receive payments of principal or any premium or interest in the specified currency instead of United States dollars. The beneficial owner must give the participant through which its interest is held written notice of its election on or before the applicable record date, in the case of a payment of interest, and on or prior to the fifteenth day prior to Maturity, in the case of principal or premium. The participant must notify the depository of such election on or before the third Business Day after the record date. The depository will notify the paying agent of the election on or before the fifth Business Day after the record date or at least ten calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by the participant and forwarded by the participant to the depository and by the depository to the paying agent, on or before the specified dates, the beneficial owner of the notes in book-entry form will receive payments in the specified currency.

Availability of Specified Currency

If the specified currency for a foreign currency note is not available for the payment of principal, any premium and interest due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of PFC, we will be entitled to satisfy our obligations on the note by making the required payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate, computed by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day before the applicable payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

S-28




The “Market Exchange Rate” for a specified currency other than United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the specified currency as certified for customs purposes, or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined, by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made in United States dollars under circumstances where the required payment is in a specified currency other than United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the notes.

All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the foreign currency notes.

Judgments

Under current New York law, a state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment in respect of a foreign currency note would be required to render the judgment in the specified currency, and the foreign currency judgment would be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Accordingly, the holder of a foreign currency note would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the date of entry of the foreign currency judgment and the time the amount of the foreign currency judgment is paid to the holder in United States dollars and converted by the holder into the specified currency. It is not certain, however, whether a non-New York state court would follow the same rules and procedures with respect to conversions of foreign currency judgments.

PFC will indemnify the holder of any note against any loss incurred by it as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under the note and judgment or order requiring payment in a currency other than the specified currency, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the specified currency amount is converted into the currency in the judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the holder of the note, on the date of payment of the judgment or order, is able to purchase the specified currency with the amount actually received under the judgment or order.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

Set forth in full below is the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, tax counsel to the agents, as to certain United States Federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This opinion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change, including changes in effective dates, or possible differing interpretations. It deals only with notes held as capital assets and does not purport to deal with persons in special tax situations, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, persons holding notes as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging” or “conversion” transaction for tax purposes, or persons whose functional currency is not the United States dollar. It also does not deal with holders other than original purchasers, except where otherwise specifically noted. Persons considering the purchase of the notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of United States Federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

As used in this prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States Federal income tax purposes:

(1)   a citizen or resident of the United States,

(2)          a corporation or a partnership (including an entity treated as a corporation or a partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of

S-29




the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations are adopted that provide otherwise),

(3)          an estate whose income is subject to United States Federal income tax regardless of its source,

(4)          a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or

(5)          any other person whose income or gain in respect of a note is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business.

Certain trusts not described in clause (4) above in existence on August 20, 1996 that elect to be treated as a United States person will also be a U.S. Holder for purposes of the following discussion. As used herein, the term “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is not a U.S. Holder.

U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest.   Payments of interest on a note generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s regular method of tax accounting).

Original Issue Discount.   The following summary is a general discussion of the United States Federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes issued with original issue discount (“Discount Notes”). The following summary is based upon final Treasury regulations (the “OID Regulations”) released by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on January 27, 1994, and subsequently amended under the original issue discount provisions of the Code.

For United States Federal income tax purposes, original issue discount is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a note over its issue price, if such excess equals or exceeds a de minimis amount (generally  1/4 of 1% of the note’s stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to its maturity from its issue date or, in the case of a note providing for the payment of any amount other than qualified stated interest (as defined below) prior to maturity, multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the note). The issue price of each note of an issue of notes equals the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes has been sold (ignoring sales to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers). The stated redemption price at maturity of a note is the sum of all payments provided by the note other than “qualified stated interest” payments. The term “qualified stated interest” generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate. In addition, under the OID Regulations, if a note bears interest for one or more accrual periods at a rate below the rate applicable for the remaining term of the note (e.g., notes with teaser rates or interest holidays), and if the greater of either the resulting foregone interest on the note or any “true” discount on the note (i.e., the excess of the note’s stated principal amount over its issue price) equals or exceeds a specified de minimis amount, then the stated interest on the note would be treated as original issue discount rather than qualified stated interest.

Payments of qualified stated interest on a note are taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s regular method of tax accounting). A U.S. Holder of a Discount Note must include original issue discount in income as ordinary interest for United States Federal income tax purposes as it accrues under a constant yield method in advance of receipt of the cash payments attributable to such income, regardless of the U.S. Holder’s regular method of tax accounting. In general, the amount of original issue discount included in income by the initial U.S. Holder of a Discount Note is the sum of the daily portions of original issue

S-30




discount with respect to the Discount Note for each day during the taxable year (or portion of the taxable year) on which the U.S. Holder held the Discount Note. The “daily portion” of original issue discount on any Discount Note is determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the original issue discount allocable to that accrual period. An “accrual period” may be of any length and the accrual periods may vary in length over the term of the Discount Note, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs either on the final day of an accrual period or on the first day of an accrual period. The amount of original issue discount allocable to each accrual period is generally equal to the difference between

·       the product of the Discount Note’s adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and its yield to maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and appropriately adjusted to take into account the length of the particular accrual period) and

·       the amount of any qualified stated interest payments allocable to such accrual period.

The “adjusted issue price” of a Discount Note at the beginning of any accrual period is the sum of the issue price of the Discount Note plus the amount of original issue discount allocable to all prior accrual periods minus the amount of any prior payments on the Discount Note that were not qualified stated interest payments. Under these rules, U.S. Holders generally will have to include in income increasingly greater amounts of original issue discount in successive accrual periods.

A U.S. Holder who purchases a Discount Note for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price as of the purchase date and less than or equal to the sum of all amounts payable on the Discount Note after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, will be considered to have purchased the Discount Note at an “acquisition premium”. Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of original issue discount which such U.S. Holder must include in its gross income with respect to such Discount Note for any taxable year (or portion thereof in which the U.S. Holder holds the Discount Note) will be reduced (but not below zero) by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to the period.

Under the OID Regulations, Floating Rate Notes and Indexed Notes (hereinafter “Variable Notes”) are subject to special rules whereby a Variable Note will qualify as a “variable rate debt instrument” if

·       its issue price does not exceed the total noncontingent principal payments due under the Variable Note by more than a specified de minimis amount and

·       it provides for stated interest, compounded or paid at least annually, at current values of:

·        one or more qualified floating rates;

·        a single fixed rate and one or more qualified floating rates;

·        a single objective rate; or

·        a single fixed rate and a single objective rate that is a qualified inverse floating rate.

A “qualified floating rate” is any variable rate where variations in the value of such rate can reasonably be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in the currency in which the Variable Note is denominated. Although a multiple of a qualified floating rate will generally not itself constitute a qualified floating rate, a variable rate equal to the product of a qualified floating rate and a fixed multiple that is greater than .65 but not more than 1.35 will constitute a qualified floating rate. A variable rate equal to the product of a qualified floating rate and a fixed multiple that is greater than .65 but not more than 1.35, increased or decreased by a fixed rate, will also constitute a qualified floating rate. In addition, under the OID Regulations, two or more qualified floating rates that can reasonably be expected to have approximately the same values throughout the term of the Variable Note (e.g., two or more qualified floating rates with values within 25 basis points of each other as

S-31




determined on the Variable Note’s issue date) will be treated as a single qualified floating rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a variable rate that would otherwise constitute a qualified floating rate but which is subject to one or more restrictions such as a maximum numerical limitation (i.e., a cap) or a minimum numerical limitation (i.e., a floor), among other things, may, under certain circumstances, fail to be treated as a qualified floating rate under the OID Regulations unless such cap or floor is fixed throughout the term of the note. An “objective rate” is a rate that is not itself a qualified floating rate but which is determined using a single fixed formula that is based on objective financial or economic information. A rate will not qualify as an objective rate if it is based on information that is within the control of the issuer (or a related party) or that is unique to the circumstances of the issuer (or a related party), such as dividends, profits, or the value of the issuer’s stock (although a rate does not fail to be an objective rate merely because it is based on the credit quality of the issuer). A “qualified inverse floating rate” is any objective rate where such rate is equal to a fixed rate minus a qualified floating rate, as long as variations in the rate can reasonably be expected to inversely reflect contemporaneous variations in the qualified floating rate. The OID Regulations also provide that if a Variable Note provides for stated interest at a fixed rate for an initial period of one year or less followed by a variable rate that is either a qualified floating rate or an objective rate and if the variable rate on the Variable Note’s issue date is intended to approximate the fixed rate (e.g., the value of the variable rate on the issue date does not differ from the value of the fixed rate by more than 25 basis points), then the fixed rate and the variable rate together will constitute either a single qualified floating rate or objective rate, as the case may be.

If a Variable Note that provides for stated interest at either a single qualified floating rate or a single objective rate throughout the term thereof qualifies as a “variable rate debt instrument” under the OID Regulations, and if the interest on a Variable Note is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually, then all stated interest on the Variable Note will constitute qualified stated interest and will be taxed accordingly. Thus, a Variable Note that provides for stated interest at either a single qualified floating rate or a single objective rate throughout the term thereof and that qualifies as a “variable rate debt instrument” under the OID Regulations will generally not be treated as having been issued with original issue discount unless the Variable Note is issued at a “true” discount (i.e., at a price below the Variable Note’s stated principal amount) in excess of a specified de minimis amount. The amount of qualified stated interest and the amount of original issue discount, if any, that accrues during an accrual period on such a Variable Note is determined under the rules applicable to fixed rate debt instruments by assuming that the variable rate is a fixed rate equal to

(1) in the case of a qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, the value as of the issue date, of the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, or

(2) in the case of an objective rate (other than a qualified inverse floating rate), a fixed rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the Variable Note.

The qualified stated interest allocable to an accrual period is increased (or decreased) if the interest actually paid during an accrual period exceeds (or is less than) the interest assumed to be paid during the accrual period pursuant to the foregoing rules.

In general, any other Variable Note that qualifies as a “variable rate debt instrument” will be converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument for purposes of determining the amount and accrual of original issue discount and qualified stated interest on the Variable Note. The OID Regulations generally require that such a Variable Note be converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument by substituting any qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate provided for under the terms of the Variable Note with a fixed rate equal to the value of the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, as the case may be, as of the Variable Note’s issue date. Any objective rate (other than a qualified inverse floating rate) provided for under the terms of the Variable Note is converted into a fixed rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the Variable Note. In the case of a Variable Note

S-32




that qualifies as a “variable rate debt instrument” and provides for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to either one or more qualified floating rates or a qualified inverse floating rate, the fixed rate is initially converted into a qualified floating rate (or a qualified inverse floating rate, if the Variable Note provides for a qualified inverse floating rate). Under such circumstances, the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate that replaces the fixed rate must be such that the fair market value of the Variable Note as of the Variable Note’s issue date is approximately the same as the fair market value of an otherwise identical debt instrument that provides for either the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate rather than the fixed rate. Subsequent to converting the fixed rate into either a qualified floating rate or a qualified inverse floating rate, the Variable Note is then converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument in the manner described above.

Once the Variable Note is converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument pursuant to the foregoing rules, the amount of original issue discount and qualified stated interest, if any, are determined for the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument by applying the general original issue discount rules to the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument and a U.S. Holder of the Variable Note will account for such original issue discount and qualified stated interest as if the U.S. Holder held the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument. Each accrual period appropriate adjustments will be made to the amount of qualified stated interest or original issue discount assumed to have been accrued or paid with respect to the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument in the event that such amounts differ from the actual amount of interest accrued or paid on the Variable Note during the accrual period.

If a Variable Note does not qualify as a “variable rate debt instrument” under the OID Regulations, then the Variable Note would likely be treated as a contingent payment debt obligation. On June 11, 1996, the Treasury Department issued final regulations (the “CPDI Regulations”) concerning the proper United States Federal income tax treatment of contingent payment debt instruments. In general, the CPDI Regulations would cause the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a contingent payment debt instrument to substantially differ from the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a conventional non-contingent payment debt instrument under current United States Federal income tax law. Specifically, the CPDI Regulations generally require a U.S. Holder of such an instrument to include future contingent and noncontingent interest payments in income as such interest accrues based upon a projected payment schedule. Moreover, in general, under the CPDI Regulations, any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange, or retirement of a contingent payment debt instrument will be treated as ordinary income and all or a portion of any loss realized could be treated as ordinary loss as opposed to capital loss (depending upon the circumstances). The CPDI Regulations apply to debt instruments issued on or after August 13, 1996. The proper United States Federal income tax treatment of Variable Notes that are treated as contingent payment debt obligations will be more fully described in the applicable pricing supplement. Furthermore, any other special United States Federal income tax considerations, not otherwise discussed herein, which are applicable to any particular issue of notes will be discussed in the applicable pricing supplement.

PFC may issue notes which;

·       may be redeemable at the option of PFC prior to their stated maturity (a “call option”) and/or

·       may be repayable at the option of the holder prior to their stated maturity (a “put option”).

Notes containing such features may be subject to rules that differ from the general rules discussed above. Investors intending to purchase notes with such features should consult their own tax advisors, since the original issue discount consequences will depend, in part, on the particular terms and features of the purchased notes.

S-33




U.S. Holders may generally, upon election, include in income all interest (including stated interest, acquisition discount, original issue discount, de minimis original issue discount, market discount, de minimis market discount, and unstated interest, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium) that accrues on a debt instrument by using the constant yield method applicable to debt instruments issued with original issue discount, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

Short-Term Notes.   Notes that have a fixed maturity of one year or less (“Short-Term Notes”) will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount. In general, an individual or other cash method U.S. Holder is not required to accrue such original issue discount unless the U.S. Holder elects to do so. If such an election is not made, any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or maturity of the Short-Term Note will be ordinary income to the extent of the original issue discount accrued on a straight-line basis, or upon election under the constant yield method (based on daily compounding), through the date of sale or maturity, and a portion of the deductions otherwise allowable to the U.S. Holder for interest on borrowings allocable to the Short-Term Note will be deferred until a corresponding amount of income is realized. U.S. Holders who report income for United States Federal income tax purposes under the accrual method, and certain other holders including banks and dealers in securities, are required to accrue original issue discount on a Short-Term Note on a straight-line basis unless an election is made to accrue the original issue discount under a constant yield method (based on daily compounding).

Market Discount.   If a U.S. Holder purchases a note, other than a Discount Note, for an amount that is less than its issue price (or, in the case of a subsequent purchaser, its stated redemption price at maturity) or, in the case of a Discount Note, for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price as of the purchase date, such U.S. Holder will be treated as having purchased the note at a “market discount”, unless such market discount is less than a specified de minimis amount.

Under the market discount rules, a U.S. Holder will be required to treat any partial principal payment (or, in the case of a Discount Note, any payment that does not constitute qualified stated interest) on, or any gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of:

·       the amount of such payment or realized gain or

·       the market discount which has not previously been included in income and is treated as having accrued on the note at the time of such payment or disposition.

Market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless the U.S. Holder elects to accrue market discount on the basis of a constant interest rate.

A U.S. Holder may be required to defer the deduction of all or a portion of the interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry a note with market discount until the maturity of the Note or certain earlier dispositions, because a current deduction is only allowed to the extent the interest expense exceeds an allocable portion of market discount. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues (on either a ratable or constant interest rate basis), in which case the rules described above regarding the treatment as ordinary income of gain upon the disposition of the note and upon the receipt of certain cash payments and regarding the deferral of interest deductions will not apply. Generally, such currently included market discount is treated as ordinary interest for United States Federal income tax purposes. Such an election will apply to all market discount debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the taxable year to which such election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

Premium.   If a U.S. Holder purchases a note for an amount that is greater than the sum of all amounts payable on the note after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, the U.S. Holder will be considered to have purchased the note with “amortizable bond premium” equal in

S-34




amount to such excess. A U.S. Holder may elect to amortize such premium using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the note and may offset interest otherwise required to be included in respect of the note during any taxable year by the amortized amount of such excess for the taxable year. However, if the note may be optionally redeemed after the U.S. Holder acquires it at a price in excess of its stated redemption price at maturity, special rules would apply which could result in a deferral of the amortization of some bond premium until later in the term of the note. Any election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

Disposition of a Note.   Except as discussed above, upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (other than amounts representing accrued and unpaid interest) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in the note increased by any original issue discount included in income (and accrued market discount, if any, if the U.S. Holder has included such market discount in income) and decreased by the amount of any payments, other than qualified stated interest payments, received and amortizable bond premium taken with respect to the note. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the note were held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of individuals are subject to reduced capital gain rates while short-term capital gains are subject to ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these tax law provisions.

Foreign Currency Notes.

Cash Method.   A U.S. Holder who uses the cash method of accounting for United States Federal income tax purposes and who receives a payment of interest on a note (other than original issue discount or market discount) will be required to include in income the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency payment (determined on the date such payment is received) regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at that time, and such U.S. dollar value will be the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such foreign currency.

Accrual Method.   A U.S. Holder who uses the accrual method of accounting for United States Federal income tax purposes, or who otherwise is required to accrue interest prior to receipt, will be required to include in income the U.S. dollar value of the amount of interest income (including original issue discount or market discount and reduced by amortizable bond premium to the extent applicable) that has accrued and is otherwise required to be taken into account with respect to a note during an accrual period. The U.S. dollar value of such accrued income will be determined by translating such income at the average rate of exchange for the accrual period, or with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year. A U.S. Holder may elect, however, to translate such accrued interest income using the rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, using the rate of exchange on the last day of the taxable year. If the last day of an accrual period is within five business days of the date of receipt of the accrued interest, a U.S. Holder may translate such interest using the rate of exchange on the date of receipt. The above election will apply to other debt obligations held by the U.S. Holder and may not be changed without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor before making the above election. A U.S. Holder will recognize exchange gain or loss (which will be treated as ordinary income or loss) with respect to accrued interest income on the date such income is received. The amount of ordinary income or loss recognized will equal the difference, if any, between the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency payment received (determined on the date such payment is received) in respect of such accrual period and the U.S. dollar value of interest income that has accrued during such accrual period (as determined above).

S-35




Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Notes.   A U.S. Holder who purchases a note with previously owned foreign currency will recognize ordinary income or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the foreign currency and the U.S. dollar fair market value of the foreign currency used to purchase the note, determined on the date of purchase.

Except as discussed above with respect to Short-Term Notes, upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a note, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss (except to the extent of any accrued market discount not previously included in the U.S. Holder’s income) and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the note has been held by such U.S. Holder for more than one year. To the extent the amount realized represents accrued but unpaid interest, however, such amounts must be taken into account as interest income, with exchange gain or loss computed as described in “Accrual Method” above. If a U.S. Holder receives Foreign Currency on such a sale, exchange or retirement the amount realized will be based on the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency on the date the payment is received or the note is disposed of (or deemed disposed of as a result of a material change in the terms of the note). In the case of a note that is denominated in foreign currency and is traded on an established securities market, a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, upon election, an accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the foreign currency payment at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note will equal the cost of the note to such holder, increased by the amounts of any market discount or original issue discount previously included in income by the holder with respect to such note and reduced by any amortized acquisition or other premium and any principal payments received by the holder. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a note, and the amount of any subsequent adjustments to such holder’s tax basis will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency amount paid for such note, or of the foreign currency amount of the adjustment, determined on the date of such purchase or adjustment.

Gain or loss realized upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a note that is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will be ordinary income or loss which will not be treated as interest income or expense. Gain or loss attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates will equal the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency principal amount of the note, determined on the date such payment is received or the note is disposed of, and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency principal amount of the note, determined on the date the U.S. Holder acquired the note. The foreign currency gain or loss will be recognized only to the extent of the total gain or loss realized by the U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or retirement of the note.

Original Issue Discount.   In the case of a Discount Note or Short-Term Note, (i) original issue discount is determined in units of the foreign currency, (ii) accrued original issue discount is translated into U.S. dollars as described in “Accrual Method” above and (iii) the amount of foreign currency gain or loss on the accrued original issue discount is determined by comparing the amount of income received attributable to the discount (either upon payment, maturity or an earlier disposition), as translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on the date of such receipt, with the amount of original issue discount accrued, as translated above.

Premium and Market Discount.   In the case of a note with market discount, (i) market discount is determined in units of the foreign currency, (ii) accrued market discount taken into account upon the receipt of any partial principal payment or upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the note (other than accrued market discount required to be taken into account currently) is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on such disposition date (and no part of such accrued market discount is treated as exchange gain or loss) and (iii) accrued market discount currently includible in income by a U.S. Holder for any accrual period is translated into U.S. dollars on the basis of the average exchange rate in effect during such accrual period, and the exchange gain or loss is determined upon the receipt of any

S-36




partial principal payment or upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the note in the manner described in “Accrual Method” above with respect to computation of exchange gain or loss on accrued interest.

With respect to a note issued with amortizable bond premium, such premium is determined in the relevant foreign currency and reduces interest income in units of the foreign currency. Although not entirely clear, a U.S. Holder should recognize exchange gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the bond premium amortized with respect to a period, determined on the date the interest attributable to such period is received, and the U.S. dollar value of the bond premium determined on the date of the acquisition of the note.

Exchange of Foreign Currencies.   A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in any foreign currency received as interest or on the sale, exchange or retirement of a note equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency, determined at the time the interest is received or at the time of the sale, exchange or retirement. Any gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of foreign currency (including its exchange for U.S. dollars or its use to purchase notes) will be ordinary income or loss.

Tax Return Disclosure Regulations.   Pursuant to Treasury Regulations (the “Disclosure Regulations”), any taxpayer that has participated in a “reportable transaction” and who is required to file a United States Federal income tax return must generally attach a disclosure statement disclosing such taxpayer’s participation in the reportable transaction to the taxpayer’s tax return for each taxable year for which the taxpayer participates in the reportable transaction. A penalty in the amount of U.S. $10,000 in the case of a natural person and U.S. $50,000 in any other case is imposed on any taxpayer that fails to file a reportable transaction disclosure statement. The Disclosure Regulations provide that, in addition to certain other transactions, a “loss transaction” constitutes a “reportable transaction.” A “loss transaction” is any transaction resulting in the taxpayer claiming a loss under section 165 of the Code in an amount equal to or in excess of certain threshold amounts. The Disclosure Regulations specifically provide that a loss resulting from a “section 988 transaction,” such as an investment in Notes denominated or on which interest is payable in a specified currency, will constitute a section 165 loss. In the case of individuals or trusts, whether or not the loss flows through from an S corporation or partnership, if the loss arises with respect to a section 988 transaction (as defined in section 988(c)(1) of the Code relating to foreign currency transactions), the applicable threshold amount is U.S. $50,000 in any single taxable year. Higher threshold amounts apply depending upon the taxpayer’s status as a corporation, partnership, or S corporation, as well as certain other factors. It is important to note, however, that the Disclosure Regulations provide that the fact that a transaction is a reportable transaction shall not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer’s treatment of the transaction is proper.

Other Notes.   The applicable pricing supplement will contain a discussion of any special United States Federal income tax rules with respect to Amortizing Notes, Linked Notes and Extendible Maturity Notes.

Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. Holder who is an individual or corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes) holding notes on its own behalf will not be subject to United States Federal income taxes on payments of principal, premium (if any) or interest (including original issue discount, if any) on a note, unless such non-U.S. Holder is a direct or indirect 10% or greater shareholder of PFC, a controlled foreign corporation related to PFC or a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code. To qualify for the exemption from taxation, the Withholding Agent, as defined below, must have received a statement from the individual or corporation that:

·       is signed under penalties of perjury by the beneficial owner of the note,

·       certifies that such owner is not a U.S. Holder, and

S-37




·       provides the beneficial owner’s name and address of the beneficial owner’s permanent residence.

A “Withholding Agent” is any person, U.S. or foreign, that has control, receipt or custody of an amount subject to withholding or who can disburse or make payments of an amount subject to withholding. Generally, the aforementioned statement is made on an IRS Form W-8BEN (“W-8BEN”), which is effective for the period starting on the date the form is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year, unless a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a W-8BEN with a U.S. taxpayer identification number will remain effective until a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect, provided that the Withholding Agent reports at least annually to the beneficial owner on IRS Form 1042-S. The beneficial owner must inform the Withholding Agent within 30 days of a change in circumstances that makes any information on the W-8BEN incorrect and must furnish a new W-8BEN. A holder of a note which is not an individual or corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes) holding the notes on its own behalf may have substantially increased reporting requirements. In particular, in the case of notes held by a foreign partnership (or certain foreign trusts) the partnership (or trust) will be required to provide the certification from each of its partners (or beneficiaries) and the partnership (or trust) will be required to provide certain additional information.

A non-U.S. Holder whose income with respect to its investment in a note is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business would generally be taxed as if the holder was a U.S. person provided the holder provides to the Withholding Agent an IRS Form W-8ECI.

Certain securities clearing organizations, and other entities who are not beneficial owners, may be able to provide a signed statement to the Withholding Agent. However, in such case, the signed statement may require a copy of the beneficial owner’s W-8BEN (or substitute form).

Generally, a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States Federal income taxes on any amount which constitutes capital gain upon retirement or disposition of a note, unless such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and such gain is derived from sources within the United States. Certain other exceptions may be applicable, and a non-U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor in this regard.

The notes will not be includible in the estate of a non-U.S. Holder unless the individual is a direct or indirect 10% or greater shareholder of PFC or, at the time of such individual’s death, payments in respect of the notes would have been effectively connected with the conduct by such individual of a trade or business in the United States.

Backup Withholding

Backup withholding of United States Federal income tax at the applicable statutory rate may apply to payments made in respect of the notes to registered owners who are not “exempt recipients” and who fail to provide certain identifying information, such as the registered owner’s taxpayer identification number, in the required manner.

Generally, individuals are not exempt recipients, whereas corporations and certain other entities generally are exempt recipients. Payments made in respect of the notes to a U.S. Holder must be reported to the IRS, unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or establishes an exemption. Compliance with the identification procedures described in the preceding section would establish an exemption from backup withholding for those non-U.S. Holders who are not exempt recipients.

In addition, upon the sale of a note to (or through) a broker, the broker must backup withhold on the entire purchase price, unless either:

·       the broker determines that the seller is a corporation or other exempt recipient, or

S-38




·       the seller provides, in the required manner, certain identifying information and, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder, certifies that such seller is a non-U.S. Holder (and certain other conditions are  met).

Such a sale must also be reported by the broker to the IRS, unless either:

·       the broker determines that the seller is an exempt recipient, or

·       the seller certifies its non-U.S. status (and certain other conditions are met).

Certification of the registered owner’s non-U.S. status would normally be made on an IRS Form W-8BEN under penalties of perjury, although in certain cases it may be possible to submit other documentary evidence.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a beneficial owner would be allowed as a refund or a credit against such beneficial owner’s United States Federal income tax provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

PFC and BNP PARIBAS Securities Corp., Barclays Capital, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (the “agents”) have entered into a distribution agreement with respect to the notes. Subject to certain conditions, the agents have agreed to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the notes. PFC has the right to accept offers to purchase notes and may reject any proposed purchase of the notes. The agents may also reject any offer to purchase notes. PFC will pay the agents a commission on any notes sold through the agents. The commission will range from .010% to .650% of the principal amount of the notes, depending on the maturity of the notes. Commissions with respect to notes with maturities in excess of 30 years that are sold through an agent as an agent of PFC will be negotiated between the Company and the agent at time of the sale.

PFC may also sell notes to the agents who will purchase the notes as principals for their own accounts. Any such sale will be made at a discount equal to the commission referred to in the preceding paragraph if no other discount is agreed. Any notes the agents purchase as principal may be resold at the market price or at other prices determined by the agents at the time of resale. PFC may also sell notes directly on its own behalf. No commissions will be paid on notes sold directly by PFC at such discount.

PFC may also enter into separate arrangements with firms other than the agents which allow such firms to purchase for resale to the public all or a portion of the notes. The name of any firm, the underwriting discount and the initial public offering price for such notes will be set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement delivered in connection with the offering and the sale of the applicable notes.

The agents may resell any notes they purchase to other brokers or dealers at a discount which may include all or part of the discount the agents received from PFC. The agents will purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount less a discount. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the discount will equal the applicable commission on an agency sale of notes of the same maturity. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the agents may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

In connection with the offering of notes purchased by the agent as principal on a fixed price basis, the agents are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the notes. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes. If an agent creates a short position in the notes in connection with the offering, i.e., if it sells more notes than are set forth on the applicable pricing supplement, the agent may reduce that short position by purchasing notes in the open market. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of

S-39




stabilization or to reduce a short position could have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the security or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the security. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the agent’s overallotment option. Because the agents have no overallotment option with respect to the notes, they would be required to close out a short position in the notes by purchasing notes in the open market.

Neither PFC nor any agent makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither PFC nor the agents makes any representation that the agents will engage in any such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The agents, whether acting as agents or principals, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. PFC has agreed to indemnify the several agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. PFC has agreed to reimburse the agents for certain expenses.

The agents may sell to dealers who may resell to investors and the agents may pay all or part of the discount or commission they receive from PFC to the dealers. Such dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Act.

From time to time, PFC may also sell notes or other debt securities pursuant to another prospectus supplement to the accompanying prospectus.

No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes. The agents may from time to time purchase and sell notes in the secondary market, but the agents are not obligated to do so. There can be no assurance that there will be a secondary market for the notes or liquidity in the secondary market if one develops.

PFC estimates that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and SEC registration fees, will be approximately $4,010,000.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable pricing supplement, the purchase price of the notes will be required to be paid in immediately available funds in New York, New York.

The agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for PFC and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the agents and their affiliates may engage in commercial and investment banking transactions with PFC and its affiliates.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

The validity of the notes will be passed upon for PFC by Bruce N. Holliday, Assistant General Counsel of PACCAR Inc, and counsel for PFC. Certain other legal matters have been passed upon for PFC by Perkins Coie LLP, and for the agents by Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York. Certain matters related to United States Federal taxation also have been passed upon by Sidley Austin LLP.

If you want to find more information about us, please see the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Information We File with the SEC” in this prospectus.

In this prospectus, “PFC”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer specifically to PACCAR Financial Corp., the issuer of the securities offered under this prospectus, and “PFSC” refers to PACCAR Financial Services Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR and the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of PFC.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a specific issue of securities. Our general corporate purposes may include the repayment of existing indebtedness, including indebtedness to PACCAR and its subsidiaries, and may include loans to or investments in PACCAR and PACCAR’s other finance and leasing subsidiaries.

RELATIONSHIP WITH PACCAR

General

PFC was formed to finance sales of PACCAR products to and by PACCAR’s dealers. Sales of PACCAR products continue to provide PFC’s principal source of financing business. We receive administrative support services from PFSC and indirectly from PACCAR, for which a fee is charged. We have borrowed funds from and loaned funds to PACCAR and PACCAR’s other finance and leasing subsidiaries, and we may do so in the future. Since PACCAR indirectly owns all of PFC’s common stock, PACCAR can control the management and policies of PFC.

Support Agreement

We have a support agreement with PACCAR that obligates PACCAR:

·       to provide financial assistance to us when required; and

·       to own, directly or indirectly, all of our outstanding voting stock.

PACCAR is required to provide financial assistance to us if our ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges, as defined in the support agreement, is less than 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. PACCAR must provide financial assistance as necessary to meet the ratio requirement if this ratio is not satisfied. We met the required ratios for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 without assistance from PACCAR. In order to maintain the ratio of earnings to fixed charges in 2001, PACCAR provided earnings support by assuming $17,000,000 of PFC’s interest expense.

PFC and PACCAR may amend or cancel the support agreement upon 30 days notice. The amendment or termination will be effective only if:

·       two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations which have issued ratings with respect to PFC’s debt confirm in writing that their ratings for PFC’s debt would remain the same after the amendment or cancellation, or

·       the notice provides that the support agreement will continue in effect with respect to any of PFC’s then outstanding debt which is rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization until that debt has been paid or defeased in accordance with its terms, or

·       the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of all outstanding debt of PFC with an original maturity in excess of 270 days which is rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization consent in writing to the amendment or cancellation. In this situation, the holders of any debt with an original maturity of 270 days or less shall continue to have the benefit of the support agreement until the maturity of their debt.

PACCAR’s obligations to PFC do not constitute a guarantee of any indebtedness or liability of PFC and do not create any rights against PACCAR by any third person. There are no direct or indirect guarantees by PACCAR for the payment of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or of any other indebtedness of PFC.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The senior debt securities will be issued under an Indenture between PFC and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, dated as of December 1, 1983, and amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989. Securities issued under the Indenture are unsecured senior indebtedness of PFC and are not limited to any aggregate amount. A copy of the Indenture including the first supplemental indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to the securities. The summary of the material provisions of the Indenture in the “Provisions of the Indenture” section below is not complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions of terms.

Terms of the Securities

PFC may issue the securities from time to time and in one or more series, without limitation as to aggregate principal amount. PFC may issue the securities upon the terms fixed or established in a resolution of the Board of Directors of PFC, or a committee of the Board of Directors, or in a certificate of an officer of PFC who has been authorized by the Board of Directors to take that kind of action. (See

3




Section 301 of the Indenture.)  Any resolution or officer’s certificate approving the issuance of any issue of securities will establish the terms of that issue, including:

·       the title of the securities;

·       any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the securities;

·       the date or dates on which the securities will mature;

·       the rate or rates per annum at which the securities will bear interest, if any, or the manner in which the interest rate or rates are determined, and the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue;

·       the dates on which interest, if any, on the securities will be payable and the related record dates;

·       any mandatory or optional sinking fund or analogous provisions;

·       whether the securities are to be issued in the form of one or more global securities and the identity of the depositary for global securities;

·       any redemption terms;

·       any additional covenants for the benefit of the holders of the securities;

·       the currency for payment of principal and interest if other than United States dollars;

·       whether the amount of payments of principal, premium and interest on the securities may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method and the manner in which the amounts shall be determined; and

·       other terms, including, but not limited to, PFC’s ability to satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture more than one year prior to the maturity or redemption of the securities. (See Sections 301 and 401 of the Indenture).

Please see the accompanying prospectus supplement you have received or will receive for the terms of the specific securities being offered.

Prospective purchasers of securities should be aware that special U.S. Federal income tax, accounting and other considerations may be applicable to the specific securities being offered. The prospectus supplement relating to an issue of securities will describe these considerations, if they apply.

Transfer of the securities will be registered at the corporate trust office of the trustee. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the securities, but PFC may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable.

Global Securities

PFC may issue series of securities in global form that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. If any securities are issued in global form, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement you have received or will receive for the terms of the specific debt securities being offered. Unless the prospectus supplement states different terms for the securities being offered, global securities will have the following terms:

·       A global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee or to a successor of the depositary, unless exchanged for securities in definitive form. (See Sections 303 and 305 of the Indenture).

4




·       Only persons that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee, which we refer to as a participant, or that may hold interests through a participant may own beneficial interests in a global security. These accounts will be designated by the applicable underwriters or agents or by PFC if the securities are offered and sold directly by PFC.

·       Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary will credit the principal amounts of the securities to the participants’ accounts on its book-entry registration and transfer system. Ownership and transfer of the ownership of a beneficial interest in a global security will be shown on and effected only through records maintained by the depositary or by the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons held through participants). (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

·       So long as the depositary is the registered owner of a global security, the depositary will be considered the sole owner of the securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. (See Section 303 of the Indenture). Owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to: have the securities represented by the global security registered in their names; will not receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form; and will not be considered the owners of the global security under the Indenture.

·       Payments on global securities registered in the name of the depositary will be made to the depositary. The depositary will confirm to PFC that payments made with respect to a global security will immediately be credited to the participants’ accounts according to their interests as shown on the records of the depositary. The depositary shall be solely responsible for its records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the global security and for the allocation and distribution of payments made by PFC to the depositary. (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

·       Each participant is responsible to make payments to the owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through that participant. Participants have the same obligation with respect to securities registered in “street name” and held for the accounts of customers. The participants shall be solely responsible for their records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the global security and for the allocation and distribution of payments made by the depositary to the participants. (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

·       If the depositary for any global security resigns or is unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by PFC within ninety days, PFC will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the global security. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

·       PFC may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have the securities represented by a global security. In that event, PFC will issue securities of the same series in definitive form in exchange for the global security. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. This type of law may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

Provisions of the Indenture

Unless the prospectus supplement states different terms for the securities being offered, the securities will be covered by the following provisions of the Indenture:

·       principal and interest on the securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the trustee, except that payment of interest may be made at the option of PFC by check mailed to the registered address of the person entitled to the interest. (See Sections 301 and 1002 of the Indenture).

5




·       the securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons. (See Section 302 of the Indenture).

·       the securities will be denominated in United States dollars and will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. (See Sections 301 and 302 of the Indenture).

·       the transfer of the securities will be registerable at the corporate trust office of the trustee. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

·       the securities may be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, as described in the “Global Securities” section above. (See Sections 203, 301 and 305 of the Indenture).

·       Securities of a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates and interest rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture. (See Section 301 of the Indenture).

·       Securities may be issued as original issue discount securities (bearing no interest or bearing interest at a rate which at the time of issue is significantly below market rates) to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. (See Section 301 of the Indenture) If any securities are issued as original issue discount securities, the terms will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the securities.

Restrictions on Secured Debt.   PFC will not permit any lien or security interest on its property or on the property of its majority owned subsidiaries, except as permitted by the Indenture. (See Section 1005 of the Indenture). The Indenture allows PFC to incur secured debt, if the debt securities issued under the Indenture are secured equally and ratably with all other secured debt. The Indenture also permits PFC to incur secured debt, without providing security for the securities issued under the Indenture, in the following situations:

·       The aggregate amount of all secured debt (excluding secured debt permitted under any of the other exceptions listed immediately below) would not exceed 15% of PFC’s Consolidated Assets.

·       Liens or security interests on the stock or property of any corporation that existed at the time that corporation became a subsidiary of PFC.

·       Liens or security interests for debt between PFC and its majority owned subsidiaries.

·       Liens or security interests in favor of any governmental body to secure progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract, statute or rule of court.

·       Liens or encumbrances on property repossessed by PFC or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business.

·       Bankers’ liens or other rights of offset.

·       Liens or security interests on property, and related rentals that existed at the time of acquisition of the property, or secure debt for the purchase of the property or the construction of improvements on the property, or were created prior to or within 180 days after the acquisition of the property or the completion of construction, for the purpose of financing the acquisition of or construction on the property.

·       Any extension, renewal or replacement of any lien or security interest described above that is limited to the same property that secured the prior lien or security interest.

“Consolidated Assets” means the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves for depreciation, amortization, unearned finance charges, allowance for credit losses and other properly deductible items) after deducting therefrom all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, organization expenses and other

6




like intangibles, all as set forth on the most recent balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Event Risks.   The Indenture does not prohibit a change of control of PFC or a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction, unless the transaction or change of control includes a merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of PFC. See “Description of Securities—Mergers and Sales of Assets by PFC.” There are no provisions for a right to acquire any increased interests or any other rights that would afford holders of the securities additional protection in the event of a change of control of PFC or a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction. The support agreement requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of PFC and to provide financial assistance to PFC under certain circumstances. See “Relationship with PACCAR—Support Agreement.”

Mergers and Sales of Assets by PFC.   PFC may consolidate or merge with any other corporation, and it may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, if the following conditions are satisfied (See Article 8 of the Indenture):

·       The surviving corporation: shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the securities issued under the Indenture and the performance and observance of the Indenture;

·       PFC or the successor corporation shall not immediately after the transaction be in default under the Indenture; and

·       PFC and its property shall not become subject to a lien or security interest prohibited by the Indenture.

Except as permitted above, PFC has agreed to preserve its corporate existence. (See Section 1004 of the Indenture).

Satisfaction and Discharge.   PFC may discharge its obligations under the securities of a specific series (See Article Four of the Indenture) when it satisfies the following requirements with respect to the securities of that series:

·       PFC irrevocably deposits with the trustee in trust, sufficient funds to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the securities, or if the securities are payable in United States dollars, the amount of direct obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States as will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the securities;

·       PFC pays all other sums payable on the securities, and

·       if the deposit identified above occurs more than one year prior to the maturity or redemption of the securities, notice has been given to the holders of the securities, and the trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that the deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the holders of the securities of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent the deposit, satisfaction and discharge.

Upon discharge, the holders of the securities of the specific series will no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of the securities. The holders shall be paid only from the deposited funds or obligations.

7




Events of Default.   The following are Events of Default under the Indenture (See Section 501 of the Indenture) with respect to the securities of any series:

·       a default in the payment of principal of or any premium on any security of that series when due;

·       a default in the payment of any interest on any security of that series when due and continuance of such default for 30 days;

·       a default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due in respect of any security of that series;

·       a default in the performance of any other covenant of PFC in the Indenture other than a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of securities other than that series, and continuance of that default for 90 days after written notice;

·       an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization as defined in the Indenture;

·       a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument evidencing indebtedness of PFC, including the Indenture, which has resulted in the acceleration of indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount except that this amount shall not apply in respect to a default on securities of another series covered by the Indenture and the acceleration shall not have been rescinded or the indebtedness discharged within a period of 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; and

·       any other event of default provided for that series of securities.

If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of all the securities of that series may be declared to be due and payable immediately by written notice as provided in the Indenture. If the securities of that series are original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series may be declared due and payable. This declaration may be made by either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may, under the circumstances described in the Indenture, rescind and annul the acceleration. (See Section 502 of the Indenture.)

The trustee has the duty to act with the required standard of care during default. The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. (See Section 603 of the Indenture.) Subject to the provisions for the indemnification of the trustee and other conditions specified in the Indenture (See Section 512 of the Indenture), the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of:

·       conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or

·       exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the securities of that series.

The right of a holder of any security to institute a proceeding with respect to the Indenture is subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. (See Section 507 of the Indenture.) Each holder has an absolute right to receive payment of principal, premium and interest, if any, when due and to institute suit for the enforcement of any the payment. (See Section 508 of the Indenture.) The Indenture provides that the trustee is required to give the holders of the securities of any series written notice of any default within 90 days after the occurrence of the default, unless previously cured or waived. In the case of default in the payment of principal, premium or interest, or in the payment of any sinking fund or redemption installment, the trustee may withhold the notice of default if it determines it is in the interest of such holders to do so. (See Section 602 of the Indenture.)

8




PFC is required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the performance by PFC of its obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in its performance. (See Section 1006 of the Indenture.)

Modification and Waiver.   PFC and the trustee may amend the Indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of each series affected by the amendment. (See Section 902 of the Indenture.) The Indenture may not be amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding security adversely affected if the amendment:

·       changes the stated maturity date of the principal or interest on any security;

·       reduces the principal, premium or rate of interest on any security;

·       changes the method for determination of the rate of interest on any security;

·       changes the premium payable upon the redemption of any security;

·       reduces the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the original issue discount security;

·       changes the place or currency of payment of principal, premium or interest on any security;

·       impairs the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any security; or

·       reduces the percentage of holders whose consent is required for amendment of the Indenture, waiver of compliance with the Indenture or waiver of defaults under the Indenture.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of each series may, on behalf of all holders of securities of that series:

·       waive compliance by PFC with some restrictive provisions of the Indenture (See Section 1007 of the Indenture), and

·       waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to securities of that series (See Section 1007 of the Indenture), except for a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest, or in respect of a covenant or condition which cannot be waived without the consent of each holder of securities of that series.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

A provision of the Washington Business Corporation Act (Section 23B.08.310 of the Revised Code of Washington) provides that a director held liable under that section for an unlawful distribution is entitled to contribution (a) from every other director who could be held liable under that section and (b) from each shareholder for the amount the shareholder accepts knowing the distribution was made in violation of the Washington Business Corporation Act or the corporation’s articles of incorporation.

Provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act (Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the revised Code of Washington) authorize, and in some instances require, a corporation’s board of directors to grant, or a court to award, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. Article Nine of the registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides:

“The Corporation shall indemnify any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or any person who may have served at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation in which it owns shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such director, officer, or employee, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. The Corporation may also reimburse to any director, officer or employee the reasonable costs of settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding, if it shall be found by a majority of a committee composed of the directors not involved in the matter in controversy (whether or not a quorum) that it was to the interest of the Corporation that such settlement be made and that such director, officer or employee was not guilty of negligence or misconduct. Such rights of indemnification and reimbursement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer or employee may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.”

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, under which PACCAR is incorporated, PACCAR is in certain circumstances permitted, and in other circumstances may be required, to indemnify persons serving at the request of PACCAR as a director or officer of another corporation against certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and other amounts paid in connection with certain threatened, pending or completed  civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions, suits or

II-1




proceedings, in which such persons were or are parties, or are threatened to be made parties, by reason of the fact that such persons were or are directors or officers of the registrant. Article Twelfth of the Certificate of Incorporation of PACCAR contains provisions consistent with Section 145 with respect to indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors.

Reference is made to Section 7 of the form of the distribution agreement filed as exhibit 1.1 to the registration statement for provisions regarding the indemnification of the registrant, its directors, certain of its officers and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

PACCAR maintains directors’ and officers’ liability and corporation reimbursement insurance with limits of $100,000,000 per policy year, under which the registrant’s directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined) as a result of claims brought against them for their wrongful acts in such capacities.

Item 16. Exhibits.

The exhibits to the registration statement required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K are listed in the accompanying index to exhibits.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however,   that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement.

(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-2




(3)   To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)    each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)   each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-3




(c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 1.1

PACCAR FINANCIAL CORP.

Medium-Term Notes, Series L

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

November 7, 2006

To the several Agents
who are signatories hereto

Dear Sirs:

PACCAR Financial Corp., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue from time to time its Medium-Term Notes, Series L (the “Securities”) to be issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  It is understood, however, that the Company may from time to time authorize the issuance of additional Securities and that such additional Securities may be sold pursuant to the terms of this Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”), as though the issuance of such Securities were authorized as of the date hereof.

This Agreement provides both for the sale of Securities and any other securities that may be offered by post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) by the Company directly to purchasers through the Agents, in which case the Agents will act as agents of the Company in soliciting Security purchasers, and (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Company and the Agents) to the Agents as principals for resale to purchasers.  Additional terms of any sale of Securities to the Agents as principals will be set out in a Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) relating to such sale, all as more fully provided herein.

Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and subject to the reservations by the Company of the right to sell Securities directly to investors on its own behalf or to one or more underwriters for resale to the public, the Company hereby (i) appoints the Agents as agents of the Company for the purpose of soliciting purchases of the Securities from the Company by others, (ii) agrees that it will sell Securities only to or through the Agents or other agents appointed from time to time by the Company pursuant to agreements having terms not more favorable to such agents or the Company than the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) agrees that whenever the Company determines to sell Securities directly to the Agents as principals for resale to others, it will enter into a Terms Agreement relating to such sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof.  The Company shall give the Agents prior notice of the appointment of any additional agents for the purpose of soliciting purchasers of the Securities.  The Company will notify each Agent of the amount of Securities from time to time remaining unsold and of such other information as may be reasonably necessary to prevent inadvertent solicitations for sales in excess of the amount of Securities then remaining unsold.

SECTION 1.          Representations and Warranties.

(a)           The Company represents and warrants as of the date hereof (unless otherwise set forth below), as of the time of each acceptance by the Company of any offer for the purchase of any Securities  (whether to such Agent as principal or through such Agent as agent) (each such time being an “Applicable Time”), as of the date of each delivery of the Securities (the date of each such delivery to an Agent as principal or through such Agent as agent is referred to as a “Settlement Date”), and as of any time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented, and as of the times referred to in Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) hereof (each of the times referenced above is referred to herein as a “Representation Date”), as follows:

(i)            The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-            ) which provides for the registration of the Securities, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to any acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities.  The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

(ii)           Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and the final prospectus and all applicable amendments or supplements thereto (including the final prospectus supplement and pricing supplement relating to the offering of Securities), in the form furnished to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, is herein called the “Prospectus;” provided, however, that all references to the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus” shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  A “preliminary prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to any prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or pricing supplement used before the acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities which omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations.  For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

(iii)          (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Rules and Regulations and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer”, as defined in

2




Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 405”), and has not been and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405; the Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, and the Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement”; and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(iv)          The Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on November 6, 2006, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e).  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

(v)           At the respective times that the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto (including the filing of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”)) became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Agents pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Rules and Regulations and at each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act (the “Trust Indenture Act Regulations”) and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(vi)          The Prospectus and each preliminary prospectus and prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, when so filed, complied in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations; each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of Securities are identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T; and at the date hereof, at the date of the Prospectus and at each Representation Date, neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(vii)         Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Securities made prior to the filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 163”) and such offer

3




otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including, without limitation, the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the Act provided by Rule 163.

As of the Applicable Time, neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below) made available by the Company for use by the applicable Agent(s) as of the Applicable Time and the applicable Final Term Sheet (as defined in Section 3(d) hereof), if any, relating to the offering of the Securities, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:

“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 433”), relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a “road show” that constitutes a written communication within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors.

“Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus.

“Statutory Prospectus” means (i) the prospectus relating to various securities of the Company, including the Securities, that is included in the Registration Statement and (ii) the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities and any preliminary pricing supplement relating to the Securities of a particular series.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Agents as described in Section 3(k), did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

4




The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Agent through the Agents expressly for use therein.

(viii)        The Company is not in violation of its corporate charter or bylaws; the Company is not in default in the observance or performance of any obligation, agreement, indenture or instrument, the effect of which default would be material to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, compliance by the Company with the provisions of the Securities and the Indenture, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not conflict with, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a default in the observance or performance of, any agreement, indenture or instrument, or result in a violation of the corporate charter or bylaws of the Company or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties, the effect of which conflict, lien, charge, encumbrance, default or violation would be material to the Company. Except as required by the Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the Exchange Act and applicable state securities laws, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, any applicable Terms Agreement and the Indenture or in connection with the sale of Securities hereunder, the failure to obtain which consent, authorization or order or make which filing or registration would be material to the Company.  The Company has no subsidiaries within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations.

(ix)           From the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and except as described therein or in any amendment or supplement thereto (a) there has not been any material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company, (b) there has been no material transaction entered into by the Company other than those in the ordinary course of business, (c) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on its capital stock, except as disclosed in the financial statements incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, (d) there has been no amendment to the support agreement between the Company and PACCAR Inc (“PACCAR”) as amended and restated on June 19, 1989.

(xviii)      There are no contracts or other documents which are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement by the Act or by the Rules and Regulations, or which were required to be filed as exhibits to any document incorporated by reference in any Prospectus by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, which have not been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or to such document or incorporated therein by reference as permitted by the Rules and Regulations or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be.

(b)           Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to an Agent or to its counsel in connection with an offering of Securities or the sale of Securities to an Agent as principal shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to such Agent as to the matters covered thereby.

SECTION 2.         Agents.

(a)           Solicitations as Agent.  On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Agent agrees, as agent of the Company, to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus.  The Agents shall not appoint sub-agents.  The Agents are authorized to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities purchased by the Agents as principal for resale to others, and the Agents may allow any portion of the discount they have received in connection with such purchases from the Company to such brokers or dealers.

The Agents shall offer the Securities at such times, in such amounts and maturities and at such rates of interest as the Company shall authorize, but the Company shall not approve the solicitation of purchases of Securities in excess of the amount which shall be authorized by the Company from time to time or in excess of the principal amount of Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The Agent will have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate principal amount of Securities sold, or of otherwise monitoring the availability of Securities for sale under the Registration Statement.  The Agents shall furnish a copy of the Prospectus to each offeree to the extent required by the Act. The Agents shall not

8




offer to sell to or solicit offers to buy from any person in any state or jurisdiction otherwise than in conformity with the Blue Sky Memorandum referred to in Section 4.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities, commencing at any time, for a period of time or permanently.  Promptly after receipt of telephonic, or written notice from the Company, the Agents will suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities from the Company until such time as the Company has advised them that such solicitation may be resumed.

Promptly upon the closing of the sale of any Securities, the Company agrees to pay the appropriate Agent a commission (or allow such Agent a discount) in the currency in which such Securities are denominated equal to a percentage of the principal amount of each of the Securities sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent during the term of this Agreement as set forth in Schedule A hereto.

The Agents are authorized to solicit orders for the Securities in such denominations (in U.S. dollars or in another currency), upon such terms and at such prices as the Company shall authorize and shall be set forth in a pricing supplement to the Prospectus to be prepared following each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities.  Unless otherwise specifically authorized, the Agents shall solicit orders only for the purchase of Securities (i) at 100 percent of their principal amount and (ii) denominated in U.S. dollars in the amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000.  Each Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Securities received by it as Agent.  The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Securities and may in its absolute discretion reject any such offer in whole or in part.  The Company shall have no liability to any Agent for any commission for its rejection of any offer or its failure to consummate any sale.  Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any offer to purchase the Securities received by it in whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreement contained herein.

(b)           Purchases as Principal.  Each sale of Securities to an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms contained herein and (unless the Company and the Agent shall otherwise agree) in a separate agreement which will provide for the sale of such Securities to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof by, the Agent.  Each such separate agreement (which may be an oral agreement) between an Agent and the Company is herein referred to as a “Terms Agreement.”  Unless the context otherwise requires, each reference contained herein to “this Agreement” shall be deemed to include any applicable Terms Agreement between the Company and an Agent.  Each such Terms Agreement, whether oral or in writing, shall be with respect to such information (as applicable) as is specified in Exhibit A hereto.  An Agent’s commitment to purchase Securities as principal pursuant to any Terms Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.  Each Terms Agreement shall specify (i) the principal amount of Securities to be purchased by such Agent pursuant thereto, (ii) the price to be paid to the Company for such Securities (which shall be at a discount, if any,  as specified in a Terms Agreement), (iii) the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Securities, (iv) any provisions relating to the rights of and any default by any broker or dealer acting together with such Agent in the reoffering of the Securities, and (v) such

9




other provisions (including further terms of the Securities) as may be mutually agreed upon.  The Agents may utilize a selling or dealer group in connection with the resale of the Securities purchased and may reallow to any broker or dealer any portion of the discount or commission payable pursuant hereto.  Such Terms Agreement shall also specify the requirements for the stand-off agreement, officer’s certificate, opinions of counsel and comfort letter pursuant to Sections 3(l), 5(b), 5(c), 5(e) and 5(f) hereof.

Securities to be purchased by an Agent as principal are herein called the “Purchased Securities.”  Purchased Securities will be represented by a global certificate (the “Book-Entry Securities”) registered in the name of the depositary (the “Depositary”) specified in the Prospectus or by certificates issued in definitive form (the “Certificated Securities”).  Delivery of Certificated Securities shall be made to the Agent and delivery of Book-Entry Securities shall be made to the Trustee as agent for the Depositary for the account of the Agent, in either case, against payment by the Agent of the purchase price to or upon the order of the Company in the funds specified in the applicable Terms Agreement.  Certificated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Agent may request not less than two full business days prior to the applicable Closing Date (as defined below).  The Company will have Certificated Securities available for inspection, checking and packaging by the Agent in the city in which delivery and payment is to occur, not later than 2 p.m., on the business day prior to the applicable Closing Date.

If the Company and two or more Agents enter into an agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Securities from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the nondefaulting Agents shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

(a)          if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Closing Date, the nondefaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial underwriting obligations bear to the underwriting obligations of all nondefaulting Agents; or

(b)         if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Closing Date, such agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Agent.

No action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default.  In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such agreement, either the nondefaulting Agents or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any

10




required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

(c)           Administrative Procedures.  Administrative procedures respecting the sale of Securities shall be agreed upon from time to time by the Agents and the Company (the “Procedures”).  The several Agents and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each of them herein and in the Procedures.

(d)           Closing Date.  The documents required to be delivered by Section 5 hereof shall be delivered at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, on the date hereof or, with respect to any particular Agent, such other date and time as such Agent and the Company may agree upon in writing (the “Closing Date”).

(e)           Other Debt Securities.  Nothing contained herein, other than Section 3(l) hereof, shall limit the right of the Company to authorize and issue debt securities, including medium-term notes other than the Securities, under the Indenture or otherwise.

(f)            Reliance.  The Company and the Agents agree that any Securities the placement of which the Agents arrange shall be placed by the Agents, and any Securities purchased by an Agent shall be purchased, in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.

SECTION 3.         Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees:

(a)           To furnish promptly to each Agent a signed copy of the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission and each amendment or supplement thereto, and a copy of the General Disclosure Package and each Prospectus with respect to the Securities filed with the Commission, including all supplements thereto and all documents incorporated therein by reference, and all consents and exhibits filed therewith.  The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and the Prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto so furnished to the Agents will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(b)           To deliver promptly to each Agent such number of the following documents as each Agent may reasonably request: (i) conformed copies of the Registration Statement and any new registration statement (excluding exhibits other than the computation of the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, the Indenture and this Agreement), (ii) the General Disclosure Package  and Prospectus with respect to the Securities, and (iii) any documents incorporated by reference in any Prospectus with respect to the Securities (excluding exhibits).

(c)           To file with the Commission, during any period in which any Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any new registration statement or any Prospectus that is required by the Act or the Rules and Regulations, and all documents, and any amendments to

11




previously filed documents, required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(d)           Prior to filing with the Commission during any period in which the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Securities (i) any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and any new registration statement, (ii) any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (iii) any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or any amendment of or supplement to any such incorporated document, to furnish a copy thereof to the counsel for the Agents and to allow the Agents and counsel for the Agents a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and, between the date of delivery of any Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, not to file any such document to which the applicable agent reasonably objects.  Unless otherwise notified by the Agents, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of an offering of Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 prior to the close of business within two days following the date such final terms are established.

(e)           To advise each Agent promptly (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to or covering the Securities becomes effective, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the filing of any new registration statement or any Prospectus, to any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or any order directed to any Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or the initiation or threat of any stop order proceeding or of any challenge by the Commission to the accuracy or adequacy of any document incorporated by reference in any Prospectus, (v) of receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, (vi) of the occurrence of any event which causes the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or the General Disclosure Package or any Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (vii) any change in the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) to the Program or any debt securities (including the Securities) of the Company, or the public announcement by any NRSRO that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Program or any such debt securities, or the withdrawal by an NRSRO of its rating of the Program or any such debt securities.  The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any pricing supplement) transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus (including, without limitation, any pricing supplement).  The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

12




(f)            The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the Rules and Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Rules and Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

(g)           If, during any period in which the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, the Commission shall issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, to make every reasonable effort to obtain the lifting of that order at the earliest possible time.

(h)           To make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 90 days after each twelve-month period identified below, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act, which need not be certified by independent certified public accountants unless required by the Act or the Rules and Regulations) covering the twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the fiscal quarter next following each date which (i) under Section 11(a) of the Act and the Rules and Regulations is an effective date of the Registration Statement for purposes of said Section 11(a), and (ii) is not later than the last sale hereunder.

(i)            So long as any of the Securities are outstanding, to furnish to each Agent not later than the time the Company makes the same generally available to others, copies of all reports and financial statements furnished by the Company to any securities exchange on which the Securities are listed pursuant to requirements of or agreements with such exchange or to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission thereunder.

(j)            To endeavor, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as we may agree upon and to maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Securities.  The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been qualified as above provided.

(k)           The Company will prepare, with respect to any Securities to be sold through or to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement, a Pricing Supplement with respect to such Securities in a form previously approved by the Agents and will file the Prospectus, including such Pricing Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (or any rule succeeding or replacing such rule) under the Act not later than the close of business of the Commission on the fifth business day after the date on which such Pricing Supplement is first used.

(l)            If at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or any condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel for the Company, to further amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the

13




circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of either of such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to file a new registration statement in order to comply with the requirements of the Act or the Rules and Regulations, immediate notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities in the Agents’ capacity as agent and to cease sales of any Securities the Agents may then own as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement or a new registration statement, whether by filing documents pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Act or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, any new registration statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements.  The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this subsection during any period from the time (i) the Agents shall have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Securities in their capacity as agents pursuant to a request from the Company and (ii) the Agents shall not then hold any Securities as principal purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement, to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation of purchases of the Securities should be resumed or shall subsequently enter into a new Terms Agreement with the Agents.  If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Securities or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Agents and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(m)          If provided in a Terms Agreement, between the date of such Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, the Company will not offer or sell, or enter into any agreement to sell, any debt securities of the Company (other than the Securities that are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement and commercial paper for other short-term debt with an original maturity of 270 days or less in the ordinary course of business) without such Agent’s prior consent.

(n)           The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the issuance and sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Prospectus.

(o)           The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Agents, and each Agent represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission; provided, however, that prior to the preparation of the Final Term Sheet in accordance with Section 4(b), the Agents are authorized to use the information with respect to the final terms of the applicable Securities in communications conveying information relating to the applicable offering of Securities to investors.  Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Agent(s) is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing

14




Prospectus.”  The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping; provided, however, that any such treatment shall not convert a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus that would not otherwise constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus into an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus solely due to such treatment.  Any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall be considered to be an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuer and the Agents.

SECTION 4.         Payment of Expenses.

The Company will pay (i) the costs incident to its authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection, (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Act of the Registration Statement, any new registration statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto, (iii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing of any document and any amendments and exhibits thereto required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, (iv) the costs of furnishing to the Agents copies of the Registration Statement filed and each amendment and post-effective amendment thereof (including exhibits), any preliminary prospectus, Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing documents, (v) the fees and disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, (vi) the cost of any filings with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., in respect of the Securities, (vii) the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company, (viii) any fees payable to rating agencies in connection with the rating of the Securities, (ix) the fees and expenses of qualifying the Securities under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in this Agreement and of preparing and printing a Blue Sky Memorandum and a memorandum concerning the legality of the Securities as an investment (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agents in connection therewith), and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

In addition, the Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Agents in connection with the sale of the Securities.

SECTION 5.         Conditions of Obligations.

The obligations of an Agent to solicit offers to purchase the Securities will be subject to the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in any certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance and observance by the Company of all covenants and agreements contained herein and to the following additional conditions:

(xi)           The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and compliance by the Company with the provisions of the Securities and the Indenture, will not conflict with, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture or instrument known to such counsel after due inquiry, or result in a violation of the corporate charter or bylaws of the Company or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company, or its properties, the effect of which conflict, lien, charge, encumbrance, default or violation would be material to the Company; and, except as may be required by the Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the Exchange Act or state securities laws, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the failure to obtain which consent, authorization or order to make which filing or registration would be material to the Company.

(xii)          The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements and other financial data contained therein) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under said Acts, and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements and other financial data contained therein) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; such counsel shall also confirm that no facts have come to the attention of such counsel that gives them reason to believe that, as of the applicable effective date, the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the General Disclosure Package and, as of the applicable filing date, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a material fact or

17




omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c)           At the Closing Date, the Agents and the Company shall have received the opinion, dated as of the date of delivery thereof, of Perkins Coie LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and their counsel, to the effect that:

(i)            The descriptions of the Securities and the Indenture in the Registration Statement and each Prospectus fairly present the information required with respect thereto by Form S-3 in all material respects.

(ii)           The Indenture is qualified under, and complies in all material respects as to form with, the Trust Indenture Act.

(iii)          The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; and, to the knowledge of such counsel no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened by the Commission, no order of the Commission directed to any document incorporated by reference in any Prospectus has been issued and there are no proceedings of the Commission pending or threatened challenging the accuracy or adequacy of any such document.

(iv)          The Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements and other financial data contained therein) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under said Acts, and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements and other financial data contained therein) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; such counsel shall also confirm that no facts have come to the attention of such counsel that gives them reason to believe that, as of the applicable effective date, the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)           On or prior to the Closing Date, the Agents shall have been furnished such documents, certificates and opinions as it may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it or Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Agents, to determine the accuracy, completeness or satisfaction of any of the representations, warranties or conditions herein contained.

(e)           At each Closing Date, the Agents shall have received a certificate of the President, a Vice President, the General Manager, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Company to the effect that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the conditions set forth in

18




Section 5 (a) and (g) have been satisfied, and as to the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein.

(f)            The Company has furnished to the Agents on the Closing Date a letter of Ernst & Young LLP, addressed to the Agents and dated the Closing Date, confirming that they are independent auditors within the meaning of the Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, and stating, as of the date of such letter (or with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as of a date not more than three business days prior to the date of such letter), the conclusions and findings of such accountants with respect to such financial information and other matters as reasonably requested by the Agents.

(g)           No order suspending the sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction designated pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof shall have been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the purchasing Agent or the Company, shall be contemplated.

All opinions, letters, evidences and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to the Agents.

If any conditions specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects, the agency of any Agent under this Agreement may be terminated by such Agent by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of either the Company or such Agent, except with respect to any unpaid commission then owing to such Agent by the Company and except that Sections 3(g), 4, 7, 9 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

SECTION 6.         Additional Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees that:

(a)           Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities through an Agent, and each delivery of Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, shall be deemed to be an affirmation to such Agent that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in any certificate theretofore delivered to such Agent pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Securities relating to such acceptance, as though made at and as of each such time (it being understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to each such time).

(b)           Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, manner of determining interest rates, interest payment dates or maturities of the

19




Securities or a change in the principal amount of Securities remaining to be sold or similar changes or a supplement to the Prospectus in the form previously furnished to the Agents relating to a sale of securities otherwise than through an Agent) or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each Agent promptly a certificate of the President, a Vice President, the General Manager, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Company to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 5(e) hereof which was last furnished to such Agent are true and correct at the time of such amendment or supplement or filing, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section 5(e), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

(c)           Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, manner of determining interest rates, interest payment dates or maturities of the Securities remaining to be sold or similar changes or a supplement to the Prospectus in the form previously furnished to the Agents relating to the sale of securities otherwise than through an Agent) or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall cause to be furnished promptly to each Agent and its counsel the written opinion or opinions of Bruce N. Holliday, and/or, at the option of the Company, of Perkins Coie LLP, dated the date of delivery of such opinion or opinions, of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Sections 5(b) and 5(c) hereof, but modified as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion or opinions; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion or opinions, counsel may furnish a letter to the effect that the Agents may rely on a prior opinion of such counsel which was to the same effect as the opinion in lieu of which such letter is given to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d)           Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented to include additional financial information or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus which contains additional financial information or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall cause Ernst & Young LLP promptly to furnish each Agent a letter, dated the date of filing of such amendment, supplement or document with the Commission or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to each Agent, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(f) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter, with such changes as may be necessary to reflect changes

20




in the financial statements and other information derived from the accounting records of the Company; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, Ernst & Young LLP may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement unless there is contained therein any other accounting, financial or statistical information that, in the reasonable judgment of an Agent, should be covered by such letter.

SECTION 7.         Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)           The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each person, if any, who at the written request of such Agent and with the consent of the Company is participating with such Agent as the Company’s agent in the distribution of the Securities who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act with respect to the distribution of the Securities (the “Participants”) and each director, officer or other person, if any, who controls such Agent or any Participant within the meaning of the Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to which such Agent or such Participant or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, General Disclosure Package or any Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such Agent, each such Participant, and each such controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred, as they are incurred, by it in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement or any Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further, that this indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Agent, any Participant, or any director, officer or other person, if any, controlling such Agent or any Participant, on account of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of Securities to any person by such Agent or such Participant if (i) prior to the Applicable Time for such Securities, the Company shall have notified such Agent that the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package has been amended and shall have been filed, prior to the Applicable Time, with the Commission, (ii) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package was provided to such Agent sufficiently in advance of the Applicable Time so that such correcting Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package could have been provided to such person prior to the Applicable Time, (iii) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such person prior to the Applicable Time, and (iv) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, liabilities, costs or claims.  The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to

21




any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Agent or any Participant or any controlling person.

(b)           Each Agent shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement, or any Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred, as they are incurred, by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.  The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Agent may otherwise have to the Company or any of its directors, officers or controlling persons.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.  If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a separate counsel and one local counsel to represent such indemnified party who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel or such local counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense of such action or additional or different defenses such that the counsel retained by the indemnifying party to defend the indemnified

22




party in such action cannot adequately represent the interests of the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expense of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any claim or action settled without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section shall for any reason (other than as specified herein) be unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party from the offering of the Securities, the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and an Agent on the other with respect to an offering shall be determined in light of the relation of the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company to the total commissions received by the Agent with respect to such offering.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by an Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Purchased Securities were offered by it to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which it shall have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

23




(e)           Each Agent represents for purposes of Sections 7(a) and 7(b) that it has received a copy of the form of Prospectus the Company proposes to file with the Commission with respect to the Securities and that the Agent will be soliciting offers to purchase the Securities (subject to the conditions hereof) for sale as described therein.

SECTION 8.         Assistance by the Agents.

Each Agent will make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities from the Company has been solicited by the Agent and accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall have no liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason.

SECTION 9.         Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Securities.

SECTION 10.       Termination.

(a)           Termination of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall terminate when the Agents shall have been advised by the Company that all of the Securities have been sold and the purchase price therefor has been paid and the Securities delivered to the purchasers thereof.  This Agreement may be terminated (except with respect to offers to purchase Securities which have been accepted by the Company or a Terms Agreement has been executed) for any reason, at any time, by either the Company or such Agent, upon the giving of one day’s written or telegraphic notice of such termination to the other.

(b)           Termination of a Terms Agreement.  An Agent may terminate any Terms Agreement, immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto (i) if there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs, management or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets or any material interruption in the clearance and settlement systems in the United States or, if such Securities are denominated and/or payable in, or indexed to, one or more foreign currencies, in the international financial markets, or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or any change or development or event involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent(s), impracticable to market the Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially

24




limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by the relevant authorities in the country or countries of origin of any foreign currency or currencies in which the Securities  are denominated or payable, or (iv) if the rating assigned by any NRSRO to any debt securities of the Company as of the date of any applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered since that date or if any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any debt securities of the Company, or (v) if there shall have come to such Agent’s attention any facts that would cause such Agent to believe that the Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading.

(c)           General.  In the event of a termination of this Agreement, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be entitled to any commission earned in accordance with the fourth paragraph on Section 2(a) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (A) an Agent shall own any Securities purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement with the intention of reselling them or (B) an offer to purchase any of the Securities has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Security or Securities relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 6 hereof shall remain in effect until such Securities are so resold or delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 9 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

SECTION 11.         Notices.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.  Notices to the Agents shall be directed as set forth below their respective signatures hereto.  Notices to the Company shall be directed to it as follows:  PACCAR Financial Corp., 777 106th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, Washington 98004, Attention:  Treasurer.

SECTION 12.         Parties.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Agents and the Company and their respective successors.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein or therein contained.  This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and directors of their heirs and legal representatives, and for the

25




benefit of no other person, firm or corporation.  No purchaser of Securities shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 13.         No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities  and any related discounts and commissions, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent(s), on the other hand, (ii) in connection with the offerings contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent (except to the extent expressly set forth herein) or fiduciary of the Company or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offerings contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Agent has any obligation to the Company with respect to any offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Agent(s) and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (v) no Agent has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offerings contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 14.         GOVERNING LAW; FORUM.

THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.  ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY AGAINST ANY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT SOLELY IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

Please indicate your acceptance hereof in the space provided for that purpose below.

The Notes are being sold pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, by and among the Company and the Agents, dated November 7, 2006 (the “Distribution Agreement”).  The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 1, 1983 as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company as trustee (the “Trustee”).  A Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”, which term shall include any additional registration statements filed in connection with the Notes as provided in the Distribution Agreement) with respect to the Notes has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).  The most recent basic Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented with respect to the Notes, is herein referred to as the “Prospectus Supplement”.  The most recent supplement to the Prospectus with respect to the specific terms of the Notes is herein referred to as the “Pricing Supplement”.

The Notes will either be issued (a) in book-entry form and represented by one or more fully registered Notes (each, a “Book-Entry Note”) delivered to the Trustee, as agent for the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, or (b) in certificated form (each, a “Certificated Note”) delivered to the purchaser thereof or a person designated by such purchaser.  Owners of beneficial interests in Notes issued in book-entry form will be entitled to physical delivery of Notes in certificated form equal in principal amount to their respective beneficial interests only upon certain limited circumstances described in the Prospectus.

The Company has appointed Citibank, N.A., as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) with respect to the Notes.  The Company has also appointed Citibank, N.A., as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) with respect to Notes bearing interest at rates determined if reference to selected indices (“Floating Rate Notes”).

Administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering are explained below.

General procedures relating to the issuance of all Notes are set forth in Part I hereof.  Additionally, Notes issued in book-entry form will be issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II hereof and Notes issued in certificated form will be used in accordance with




the procedures set forth in Part III hereof.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture or the Notes (which in the case of Notes issued in book-entry form shall be the related Book-Entry Note), as the case may be.

PART I: PROCEDURES OF GENERAL APPLICABILITY

Date of Issuance/Authentication:

Each Note will be dated as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.  Each Note shall also bear an original issue date (the “Original Issue Date”).  The Original Issue Date shall remain the same for all Notes subsequently issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of an original Note regardless of their dates of authentication.

Maturities:

Each Note will mature on a date selected by the purchaser and agreed to by the Company which is nine months or more from its Original Issue Date; provided, however, that Floating Rate Notes will mature on an Interest Payment unless the principal of the Note, or any installment of principal, becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.  This could happen by the declaration of acceleration of maturity, redemption at the option of the Company, or repayment at the option of the purchaser.  The applicable Pricing Supplement will state whether the Notes are subject to redemption or payment prior to their Stated Maturity at the option of the Company or the purchaser, respectively, and specify the date or dates on which such redemption or repayment may be made.

Denominations:

The Notes generally will be issued in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.  Any Notes denominated other than in U.S. dollars will be issuable in denominations as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement and in such Notes.

Registration:

Notes will be issued only in fully registered form.

Redemption/Repayment:

The Notes will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes on their respective Optional Repayment Dates, if any.  Optional Repayment Dates, if any, will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement and the applicable Note.  If no Optional Repayment Dates are indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be repayable at the option of the Holder prior to its stated maturity.

The Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company on and after their respective Redemption Dates, if any.  Redemption Dates, if any, will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement and in the applicable Note.  If no Redemption Dates are indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be redeemable prior to its stated maturity.

Interest:

Each Note will bear interest in accordance with its terms.  The Paying Agent will advise the Company by telecopy of each determination of the interest rate applicable to each Floating Rate Note promptly after such determination is made by the Calculation Agent.

Calculation of Interest:

Interest on each Note (including payments for partial periods) will be calculated as set forth in the relevant Note, the Prospectus Supplement and any Pricing Supplement.

Acceptance and Rejection of Offers:

The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes from the Company and may reject any such offer in whole or in part.  The Agents shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Notes from the Company received by it.  Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, without notice to the Company, to reject any offer to purchase Notes in whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be a breach of such Agent’s agreement contained in the Distribution Agreement, dated the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Agents.

Preparation of Pricing Supplement:

If any offer to purchase a Note is accepted by the Company, the Company will prepare a Pricing Supplement reflecting the terms of such Note.  The Pricing Supplement shall be in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A and B.  Information to be included in the Pricing Supplement shall include:

In each instance that a Pricing Supplement is prepared, the Agents will provide a copy of such Pricing Supplement to each investor or purchaser of the relevant Notes or its agent.  Pursuant to Rule 434 (“Rule 434”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Pricing Supplement may be delivered separately from the Prospectus.  Outdated Pricing Supplements, and the supplemented Prospectuses to which they are attached (other than those retained for files) will be destroyed.

Settlement:

The receipt of immediately available funds by the Company in payment for a Note and the authentication and delivery of such Note shall, with respect to such Note, constitute “settlement.”  Offers accepted by the Company will generally be settled from one to three Business Days or at a time as the purchaser, the applicable Agent and the Company shall agree, pursuant to the timetable for settlement set forth in Parts II and III hereof under “Settlement Procedures Timetable” with respect to Book-Entry Notes and Certificated Notes, respectively.  Each such date fixed for settlement is hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Date”.  If procedures A and B of the applicable Settlement Procedures with respect to a particular offer are not completed on or before the time set forth under the applicable “Settlement Procedures Timetable,” such offer shall not be settled until the Business Day following the completion of settlement procedures A and B or such later date as the purchaser and the Company shall agree.

In the event of a purchase of Notes by any Agent as principal, appropriate settlement details will be agreed to by the Agent and the Company and set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement.  The Company will notify the Trustee on the date that issuance instructions are given.

Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting:

The Company and the Agent will discuss, from time to time, the Maturities, the issue prices and the interest rates to be borne by Notes that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders by the Agent.  If the Company decides to set interest rates borne by any Notes in respect of which the Agent is to solicit orders (the Setting of such interest rates to be referred to herein as

5




“Posting”) or if the Company decides to change interest rates previously posted, it will promptly advise the Agent of the prices and interest rates to be posted.  The Company will assign a separate CUSIP number for each tranche of Notes to be posted, and will so advise and notify the Trustee and Agent of said assignment by telephone and/or by electronic transmission (including facsimile or e-mail transmission).  The Agent will, in turn, include the assigned CUSIP number on all Posting notices communicated to selling group members.

Procedure for Changing Rates or Other Variable Terms:

When a decision has been reached to change the interest rate or any other variable term on any Notes being sold by the Company, the Company will promptly advise the Agents and the Trustee by facsimile transmission and the Agents will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase such Notes.  The Agents will telephone the Company with recommendations as to the changed interest rates or other variable terms.

At such time as the Company advises the Agents and the Trustee of the new interest rates or other variable terms, the Agents may resume solicitation of offers to purchase such Notes.  Until such time only “indications of interest” may be recorded.  Immediately after acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase Notes at a new interest rate or new variable term, the Company, the Presenting Agent and the Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth under the applicable Settlement Procedures.  The foregoing procedure for changes shall in no way effect the Company’s right to suspend all solicitations of offers to purchase Notes as set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

Suspension of Solicitation; Amendment or Supplement:

Subject to its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Distribution Agreement, the Company may instruct the Agents to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes at any time.  Upon receipt of such instructions, the Agents will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase from the Company until such time as the Company has advised them that solicitation of offers to purchase may be resumed.  If the Company decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement (including incorporating any documents by reference therein or the Prospectus or any supplement relating to the Notes other than to change rates or other variable terms with respect to the offering of the Notes), it will promptly advise the Agents, Trustee and Agents’ counsel and will furnish the Agents and their counsel with copies of the proposed amendment or supplement (including any document proposed to be incorporated by reference therein).  One copy of such filed document, along with a copy of the cover letter sent to the Commission, will be delivered or mailed to the Agents at the following respective addresses:  BNP Paribas Securities Corp., 787 Seventh Avenue, 28th Floor; Attention:  Debt Capital Markets; Barclays Capital Inc., 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY   10166, Attention: MTN Trading; Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, 34th Floor, New York, NY   10013, Attention: Medium-Term Note Department; For record keeping purposes, one copy of each such amendment or supplement shall also be mailed or telecopied to Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Norman D. Slonaker, Esq., (212) 839-5356, telecopier: (212) 839-5599.

In the event that at the time the solicitation of offers to purchase from the Company is suspended (other than to change interest rates or other variable terms) there shall be any offers to purchase Notes that have been accepted by the Company which have not been settled, the Company will promptly advise the Agents and the Trustee whether such offers may be settled and whether copies of the Prospectus as theretofore amended and/or supplemented as in effect at the time of the suspension may be delivered in connection with the settlement of such offers.  The Company will have the sole responsibility for such decision and for any arrangements which may be made in the event that the Company determines that such offers may not be settled or that copies of the Prospectus may not be so delivered.

Delivery of Prospectus:

A copy of the most recent Prospectus and the applicable Pricing Supplement, which pursuant to Rule 434 may be delivered separately from the Prospectus, must accompany or precede the earlier of (a) the written confirmation of a sale sent to an investor or other purchaser or its agent and (b) the delivery of Notes to an investor or other purchaser or its agent.  The Company will make all such Prospectus deliveries with respect to all Notes sold directly by the Company.

Authenticity of Signatures:

The Agent will have no obligation or liability to the Company or the Trustee in respect of the authenticity of the signature of any officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Trustee on any note.

Documents Incorporated by Reference:

The Company shall supply the Agents with an adequate supply of all documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

Business Day:

“Business Day” means, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York provided, however, that, with respect to foreign currency notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day.  “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the LIBOR Currency, in London.

Trustee Not to Risk Funds:

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Trustee or the Paying Agent to risk or expend its own funds in connection with any payment to the Company, or the Agents, or DTC, or any Noteholder, it being understood by all parties that payments made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent to either the Company, or the Agents, or DTC, or any Noteholder shall be made only to the extent that funds are provided to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, for such purpose.

PART II:  PROCEDURES FOR NOTES ISSUED IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM

In connection with the qualification of Notes issued in book-entry form for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustee to DTC, and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement, with respect to the Notes dated October 31, 1988, between the Trustee and DTC (the “Certificate Agreement”), and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”).

Issuance:

All Fixed Rate Notes issued in book-entry form having the same Original Issue Date, redemption terms and/or repayment, specified currency, interest rate, settlement date and Stated Maturity (collectively, the “Fixed Rate Terms”) will be represented initially by a single global security in fully registered form without coupons (each, a “Book-Entry Note”); and all Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form having the same Original Issue Date, specified currency, redemption and/or repayment terms, base rate upon which interest may be determined (each, a “Base Rate”), which may be the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate, the Treasury Rate, or any other rate set forth by the Company, Initial Interest Rate, Index Maturity, Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, Minimum Interest Rate, if any, Maximum Interest Rate, if any, and Stated Maturity (collectively, the “Floating Rate Terms”) will be represented initially by a single Book-Entry Note.

Except as set forth in the Notes, no owner of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note shall be entitled to receive any Note issued in certificated form with respect to such beneficial interest.

8




Identification:

The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s (the “CUSIP Service Bureau”) for the reservation of one series of CUSIP numbers, which series consists of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers which have been reserved for and relating to Book Entry Notes and the Company has delivered to each of the Trustee and DTC such list of such CUSIP numbers.  The Company will assign CUSIP numbers to Book-Entry Notes as described below under Settlement Procedure C.  DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau Periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Company has assigned to Book-Entry Notes.  The Trustee will notify the Company at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers remain unassigned to Book-Entry Notes, and, if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve and obtain additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Book-Entry Notes.  Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, the Company will deliver a list of such additional numbers to the Trustee and DTC.  Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies) and otherwise required to be represented by the same Global Certificate will instead be represented by two or more Global Certificates which shall all be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Registration:

Unless otherwise specified by DTC, each Book-Entry Note will be registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as nominee for DTC, on the register maintained by the Trustee under the Indenture.  The beneficial owner of a Note issued in book-entry form (i.e., an owner of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note) (or one or more indirect participants in DTC designated by such owner) will designate one or more participants in DTC (with respect to such Note issued in book-entry form, the “Participants”) to act as agent for such beneficial owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such Note issued in book-entry form in the account of such Participants.  The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in such Note issued in book-entry form will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in DTC.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any liability or responsibility for the book-entry system maintained by DTC.  For all purposes under the Indenture, CEDE & Co. as the registered owner of a Book-Entry Note shall be considered the sole Holder of such Note.

Transfers:

Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Book-Entry Note.

9




Exchanges:

The Trustee may deliver, at the Company’s request, to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice specifying (a) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Book-Entry Notes outstanding on such date that represent Book-Entry Notes having the same Fixed Rate Terms or Floating Rate Terms, as the case may be, (other than Original Issue Dates) and for which interest has been paid to the same date; (b) a date, occurring at least 30 days after such written notice is delivered and at least 30 days before the next Interest Payment Date for the related Book-Entry Notes, on which such Book-Entry Notes shall be exchanged for a single replacement Book-Entry Note; and (c) a new CUSIP number, obtained from the Company to be assigned to such replacement Book-Entry Note.  Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC will send to its Participants (including the Trustee) a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date.  Prior to the specified date, the Trustee will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau written notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Book-Entry Notes to be exchanged will no longer be valid.  On the specified exchange date, the Trustee will exchange such Book-Entry Notes for a single Book-Entry Note bearing the new CUSIP number and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Book-Entry Notes will, in accordance with CUSIP Services Bureau procedures, be canceled and not immediately reassigned.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Book-Entry Notes to be exchanged exceed $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies) in aggregate principal amount, one replacement Book-Entry Note will be authenticated and issued to represent each $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies) of principal amount of the exchanged Book-Entry Notes and an additional Book-Entry Note will be authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Notes (see “Denominations” below).

Denominations:

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples in excess of $1,000.  Book-Entry Notes will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies).  If one or more Notes issued in book-entry form having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies) would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Book-Entry Note, then one Book-Entry Note will be issued to represent $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies) principal amount of such Note or Notes issued in book-entry form and an additional Book-Entry Note or Notes will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Note or Notes issued in book-entry form.  In such a case, each of the Book-Entry Notes representing such Note or Notes issued in book-entry form shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Payments of Principal and Interest:

PAYMENTS OF INTEREST ONLY.  Promptly after each Regular Record Date, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written notice specifying by CUSIP number the amount of interest to be paid on each Book-Entry Note on the following Interest Payment Date

10




(other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Maturity Date) and the total of such amounts.

DTC will confirm the amount payable on each Book-Entry Note on such Interest Payment Date by reference to the daily bond reports published by Standard & Poor’s.  On such Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee as Paying Agent in immediately available funds, and the Trustee as Paying Agent in turn will pay in immediately available funds to DTC, such total amount of interest due (other than at Maturity) which is payable in U.S. dollars, at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.”  The Trustee as Paying Agent shall make payment of that amount of interest due and owing on any Book-Entry Notes that Participants have elected to receive in foreign currencies directly to such Participants.

NOTICE OF INTEREST PAYMENTS AND REGULAR RECORD DATES.  On the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written list of Regular Record Dates and Interest Payment Dates that will occur during the six-month period beginning on such first Business Day with respect to Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form.  Promptly after each Determination Date for Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form, the Company will notify Standard & Poor’s of the interest rates determined on such Interest Determination Date.

PAYMENTS AT MATURITY.   On or about the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written list of principal, interest and premium, if any, to be paid on each Book-Entry Note maturing either at Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date in, or for which Notice of Repayment at the option of the Holder has been received with respect to, the following month.

The Trustee, the Company and DTC will confirm the amount of such principal and interest payments with respect to a Book-Entry Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the maturity of such Book-Entry Note.  At such maturity, the Company will pay to the Trustee as Paying Agent in immediately available funds, and the Trustee as Paying Agent in turn will pay to DTC in immediately available funds, the principal amount of such Note, together with interest and premium, if any, due at such maturity which are payable in U.S. dollars, at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.”  The Trustee as Paying Agent shall make payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest to be paid at maturity of such Book-Entry Notes that Participants have elected to receive in foreign currencies directly to such Participants.  If any maturity of a Book-Entry Note is not a Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such maturity.  Promptly after (i) payment to DTC of the principal, interest and premium, if any, due at the Maturity of such Book-Entry Note which are payable in U.S. dollars and (ii) payment of the principal, interest and premium, if any, due at the maturity of such Book-Entry Note to those Participants who have elected to receive such payments in foreign currencies, the Trustee will promptly cancel such Book-Entry Note and periodically destroy groups of such Notes and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.  On the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company a written statement indicating the total principal amount of outstanding Book-Entry Notes as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.

11




MANNER OF PAYMENT.  The total amount of any principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Book-Entry Notes on any Interest Payment Date or at maturity or upon redemption or repayment shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee as Paying Agent in funds available for use by the Trustee as Paying Agent as of 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on such date.  The Company will make such payment on such Book-Entry Notes by instructing the Trustee as Paying Agent to withdraw funds from an account maintained by the Trustee at Citibank, N.A. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time on such date or as soon as possible thereafter, following receipt of such funds from the Company, the Trustee will pay by separate wire transfer (using Fedwire message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York previously specified by DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment in U.S. dollars of interest, principal and premium, if any, due on a Book-Entry Note on such date.  On each Interest Payment Date, interest payment shall be made to DTC in same day funds in accordance with existing arrangements between the Trustee as Paying Agent and DTC.  Thereafter on each such date, DTC will pay, in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants in whose names such Notes are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC.  Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the payment in U. S. dollars by DTC to such Participants of the principal of premium, if any, or interest on, the Book-Entry Notes.  The Trustee shall make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on each Book-Entry Note that Participants have elected to receive in foreign currencies directly to such Participants.

WITHHOLDING TAXES.  The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Note will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other Person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Note.

(G)                                The Trustee will enter an SDFS deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC (i) to debit such Note to the Trustee’s participant account and credit such Note to the participant account of the Presenting Agent maintained by DTC and (ii) to debit the settlement account of the Presenting Agent and credit the settlement account of the Trustee maintained by DTC, in an amount equal to the price of such Note less such Presenting Agent’s commission or discount.  Any entry of such deliver order shall be deemed to constitute a

14




representation and warranty by the Trustee to DTC that (i) the Book-Entry Note representing such Note has been issued and authenticated and (ii) the Trustee is holding such Book-Entry Note pursuant to the Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement.

(H)                               In the case of Book-Entry Notes sold through the Presenting Agent, as agent, the Presenting Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC (i) to debit such Note to the Presenting Agent’s participant account and credit such Note to the participant account of the Participants maintained by DTC and (ii) to debit the settlement accounts of such Participants and credit the settlement account of the Presenting Agent maintained by DTC, in an amount equal to the initial public offering price of such Note.

(I)                                    Transfers of funds in accordance with SDFS deliver orders described in Settlement Procedures G and H will be settled in accordance with SDFS operating procedures in effect on the Settlement Date.

(J)                                   The Trustee will credit to an account of the Company maintained at the Trustee funds available for immediate use in the amount transferred to the Trustee in accordance with Settlement Procedure G.

(K)                               The Trustee will send a copy of the Book-Entry Note by first class mail to the Company together with a statement setting forth the principal amount of Notes Outstanding under the Indenture as of the related Settlement Date after giving effect to such transaction and all other offers to purchase Notes of which the Company has advised the Trustee but which have not yet been settled.

(L)                                 If such Note was sold through the Presenting Agent, as agent, the Presenting Agent will confirm the purchase of such Note to the purchaser  either by transmitting to the Participant with respect to such Note a confirmation order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System or by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser.

Settlement Procedures Timetable:

For offers to purchase Notes accepted by the Company, Settlement Procedures “A” through “L” set forth  above shall be completed as soon as possible but not later than the respective times (New York City time) set forth below:

Settlement Procedure

 

Time

A

 

If possible by 2:00 p.m. on the trade date or within one hour following the trade

B

 

As soon as practicable following the trade, but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the trade date

 

15




 

C

 

No later than the close of business on the trade date

D

 

3:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the trade date

E

 

9:00 a.m. on Settlement Date

F

 

10:00 a.m. on Settlement Date

G-H

 

No later than 2:00 p.m. on Settlement Date

I

 

4:00 p.m. on Settlement Date

J-L

 

5:00 p.m. on Settlement Date

 

Settlement Procedure I is subject to extension in accordance with any extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in effect on the Settlement Date.

If settlement of a Note issued in book-entry form is rescheduled or canceled, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof, and upon receipt of such notice the Trustee will deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Settlement Date.

Fails:

If the Trustee fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Note issued in book-entry form pursuant to Settlement Procedure G, then upon written request (which may be evidenced by telecopy transmission) of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Note to the participant account of the Trustee maintained at DTC.  DTC will process the withdrawal message, provided that such participant account contains a principal amount of the Book-Entry Note representing such Note that is at least equal to the principal amount to be debited.  If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to all the Notes represented by a Book-Entry Note, the Trustee will mark such Book-Entry Note “canceled,” make appropriate entries in its records and send such canceled Book-Entry Note to the Company.  The CUSIP number assigned to such Book-Entry Note shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be canceled and not immediately reassigned.  If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to a portion of the Notes represented by a Book-Entry Note, the Trustee will exchange such Book-Entry Note for two Book-Entry Notes, one of which shall represent the Notes for which withdrawal messages are processed and shall be canceled immediately after issuance, and the other of which shall represent the other Notes previously represented by the surrendered Book-Entry Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the Surrendered Book-Entry Note.

In the case of any Book-Entry Note sold through the Presenting Agent, as agent, if the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Note by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a Person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the related Presenting Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC’s Participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures G and H, respectively.  Thereafter, the Trustee will

16




deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph.  If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than default by the applicable Presenting Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Presenting Agent on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect.  In the event of a failure to settle with respect to a Note that was to have been represented by a Book-Entry Note also representing other Notes, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures D and E, for the authentication and issuance of a Book-Entry Note representing such remaining Notes and will make appropriate entries in its records.

PART III:  PROCEDURES FOR NOTES ISSUED IN CERTIFICATED FORM

Denominations:

The Certificated Notes will be issued in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.  Any notes denominated other than in U.S. dollars will be issuable in denominations as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement and in such Notes.

Payments of Principal and Interest:

Upon presentment and delivery of the Certificated Note, the Trustee will pay the principal amount of each Certificated Note at maturity and the final installment of interest in immediately available funds.  All other interest payments on a Certificated Note, other than interest due at maturity, will be made by check drawn on the Trustee as Paying Agent and mailed by the Trustee as Paying Agent to the person entitled thereto as provided in the Indenture and Certificated Note.  However, holders of $1,000,000, or the equivalent amount in a specified currency, or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than at maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Paying Agent not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.  Any wire transfer instructions received by the Paying Agent shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder of the Note.  Any payment of principal or interest required to be made on an Interest Payment Date or at maturity of a Note which is not a Business Day (as defined below) need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at Maturity, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment date of Maturity Date.

The Trustee will provide monthly to the Company a list of the principal and interest in each currency to be paid on Certificated Notes maturing in the next succeeding month.  The Trustee as Paying Agent will be responsible for withholding taxes on interest paid as required by applicable law, but shall be relieved from any such responsibility if it acts in good faith and in reliance upon an opinion of counsel.

17




Certificated Notes presented to the Paying Agent at maturity for payment will be canceled by the Paying Agent.  All canceled Certificated Notes held by the Paying Agent shall be destroyed, and the Paying Agent shall furnish to the Company a certificate with respect to such destruction.

(B)                                After receiving such settlement information from the Agent, the Company will advise the Trustee of the above settlement information.  The Company will prepare a Pricing Supplement to the Prospectus and deliver copies to the Agent and the Trustee and will cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver Notes.

(C)                                The Trustee will complete the preprinted 4-ply Certificated Note packet containing the following documents in forms approved by the Company, the Presenting Agent and the Trustee:

(E)                                 The Presenting Agent will deliver the Certificated Note (with confirmation), as well as a copy of the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement or Supplements received from the Company to the purchaser against payment in full in immediately available funds.  In all cases, the prospectus, prospectus supplement and pricing sticker must accompany or precede the earlier of the written confirmation of the sale of the Notes or the delivery of the Notes.  If instructed by the purchaser to deliver the Note and confirmation to different locations, the Note and the confirmation will each be accompanied or preceded by the prospectus, prospectus supplement and pricing sticker to the Note being delivered.

(F)                                 The Trustee will send Stub 3 to the Company.

PACCAR Financial Corp., a Washington corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO. or registered assigns, the principal sum of                                                                                                        DOLLARS on the Maturity Date shown above, and to pay interest thereon at the rate per annum shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, commencing with the March 15 or September 15 immediately following the Original Issue Date shown above, and at Maturity or any redemption or optional repayment date (the date of each such Maturity or any redemption date and optional repayment date and the date of principal or an installment of principal is due and payable by declaration of acceleration pursuant to the Indenture being referred to hereinafter as a “Maturity” with respect to principal payable on such date); provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date shown above is after March 1 and on or before the immediately following March 15 or after September 1 and on or before the immediately following September 15, interest payments will commence on the next succeeding September 15 or March 15, as the case may be.  Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date shown above to but excluding such date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for.  If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal or interest shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the March 1 or the September 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date, and interest payable at Maturity shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof is payable.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange upon which the Securities of the series shown above may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Payment of principal and interest payable at Maturity of this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, and will be made in immediately available funds if this Note is pre­sented in time for payment to be made in such funds in accordance with normal procedures of Citibank, N.A., as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”, which term includes any successor paying agent under the Indenture).  Unless otherwise agreed between the Holder and the Company, payment of interest other than at Maturity will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, or Sunday that is neither a legal nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, with respect to non-United States dollar-denominated notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the Specified Currency or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time

2




Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day.  “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the LIBOR Currency, as defined below, in London.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions will for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture, this Note will not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed, manually or in facsimile, and an imprint or facsimile of its corporate seal to be imprinted hereon.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Note, its payment dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified above.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended by a first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989 (herein collectively called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series of the Securities designated as the Medium-Term Notes of the series designated above (herein called the “Notes”).  The Notes may bear different dates and mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to the Maturity Date specified above on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified above.  If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Dates are specified above, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date.  On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid (or, if this Note is an OID Note, as defined below, such lesser amount as is provided below), together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth below (and also available at the office of the Trustee) duly completed, by the Trustee at its office at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE  19890-1615;  Attn: Steve Cimalore, Corporate Trust, or such address which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 or less than 30 days prior to a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date.  This note must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day for giving such notice.  Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable.  In the event of payment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified above (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage Reduction, specified above (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified above) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity, as the case may be.  The difference between the Issue Price specified above and the Principal Amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.

4




For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method.  The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates specified above (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), an interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated.  If the period from the Original Issue Date specified above to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued.  If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such L series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in the Indenture, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes if at any time (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity Date (“Stated Maturity” in the Indenture) on, the Notes, or (ii) to the extent the Notes are payable in U.S. dollars only, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity Date on, the Notes, and which are not subject to prepayment, redemption or call, (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (c) unless the Notes are to become due and payable at their Maturity Date within one year, the Trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Notes of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge).  Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Notes shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, and shall look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company which is absolute and unconditional to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed; subject, however, to the provisions for the discharge of the Company from its obligations under the Notes upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph and in the Indenture.

5




This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified above, and prior to the Maturity Date specified above, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) upon mailing a notice of such redemption not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holder of this Note at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, all as provided in the Indenture, at the Redemption Price, if any, specified above (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) together in each case with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, provided, however, that the first two paragraphs of Section 1103 of the Indenture shall not apply to this Note, and if less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Company may select, from Notes that are subject to redemption pursuant to the terms thereof, the Note or Notes, or portion or portions thereof, to be redeemed.  In the event of redemption of this Note in party only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same series in authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or tranferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons and, if payable in U.S. dollars, only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  If (x) the Depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 60 days (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations.  Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depository shall instruct the Trustee.  If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

6




As provided in the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon, and no recourse upon any obligation of the Company in the Indenture or in any Note shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

References herein to “the Note,” “hereof,” “herein” and comparable terms will include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified under “Other Provisions” above.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Note, its payment dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified above.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended by a first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989 (herein collectively called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series of the Securities designated as the Medium-Term Notes of the series designated above (herein called the “Notes”).  The Notes may bear different dates and mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture. 

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to the Maturity Date specified above on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified above.  If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Dates are specified above, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date.  On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid (or, if this Note is an OID Note, as defined below, such lesser amount as is provided below), together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth below (and also available at the office of the Trustee) duly completed, by the Trustee at its office at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE  19890-1615;  Attn: Steve Cimalore, Corporate Trust, or such address which the Company will from time to time notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 or less than 30 days prior to a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date.  Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable.  In the event of payment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

Commencing with the Interest Reset Date specified above, first following the Original Issue Date specified above, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable will be adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as shown above under Interest Reset Period; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate specified above.  Each such adjusted rate will be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date to which it relates, to, but not including, the next succeeding Interest Reset Date, or until Maturity, as the case may be.  If any Interest Reset Date is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except, that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, and if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, and if such Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day on which Treasury Bills (as defined below) are auctioned, then such Interest Reset Date will be the first Business Day immediately following such auction day. Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest on this Note will be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.

3




All percentages resulting from any calculations with respect to this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards; and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upwards.

The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:

(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 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 CD Rate. If the Interest Reset Basis specified above is the CD Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the CD Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “CD Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the caption “CDs (secondary market)” or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”.  If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or other recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.

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 CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7051 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 H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, as the yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, on page 7051, or any other page as may replace page 7051 on that service (“Moneyline Telerate Page 7051”), for such Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7051, 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 H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”.  If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), 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 Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).  If the Federal Reverse System Board of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above for such Interest Determination Date, 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”) selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers  and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)  for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, 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 as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

(ii)           If CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7052 is specified above, the percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, as such yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, on page 7052, or any other page as may replace page 7052 on that service (“Moneyline Telerate Page 7052”), for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such Interest Determination Date falls.  If such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7052, the CMT Rate on such Interest Rate Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”.  If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such Interest Determination Date falls.  If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish a one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield on United States Treasury securities at

5




“constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above for the applicable week or month, 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 Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, 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 as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest or the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.  If the Interest Rate Reset Basis specified above is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Commercial Paper Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above.  “Commercial Paper Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield (as defined below) of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial”.  In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined below)  pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.”  If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or other recognized electronic source, the Commercial Paper Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Money Market Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield =

 

D x 360

 

x 100

Determination of LIBOR. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be LIBOR plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above.  “LIBOR” will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the Interest Reset Date immediately following such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such LIBOR Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below), on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Bond Equivalent Yield =

 

D X N

The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination Date is the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

The Paying Agent will notify the Company of each determination of the interest rate applicable to this Note promptly after such determination is made by the Calculation Agent.  Citibank, N. A., will act as Paying Agent, through its Corporate Trust Office at 111 Wall Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York, 10043; Attention: Securities Services.  The Paying Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of this Note, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note.  The Paying Agent will not be responsible for determining the interest rate applicable to this Note.

If any Interest Payment Date specified above would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, and if such Business Day is the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, with respect to foreign currency notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day.  “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the LIBOR Currency, as defined below, in London.

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CD Rate, the CMT Rate or the Commercial Paper Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Federal Funds Rate on the Prime Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the second London Business Day next preceding the Interest Reset Date.  If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills of the Index Maturity specified above are auctioned.  Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction falls on any Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will instead be the first Business Day following the auction  If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more interest rate bases, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis will be determinable.  Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined on such date and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

Interest payments on this Note (unless the Interest Reset Period specified above is a daily or weekly period) will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity.  If the Interest Reset Period is a daily or weekly period, interest payments will include accrued interests from and including the Original Issue Date or from, but excluding, the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to and including the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, except that at Maturity, the interest payable will include accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or from, but excluding, the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date.  Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Note by an accrued interest factor.  The accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.  The

9




interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate.  The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if the Day Count Convention specified above is “Actual/360” for the period specified thereunder or by the actual number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified above is “Actual/Actual” for the period specified thereunder.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes will occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified above (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage Reduction, specified above (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified above) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity, as the case may be.  The difference between the Issue Price specified above and the Principal Amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”. 

For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method.  The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates specified above (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), an interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated.  If the period from the Original Issue Date specified above to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued.  If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor and in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in the Indenture, the Company will be discharged from its obligations under the Notes if at any time (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity Date (“Stated Maturity” in the Indenture) on, the Notes, or (ii) to the extent the Notes are payable in United States dollars only, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity Date on, the Notes, and which are not subject to prepayment, redemption or call, (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (c) unless the Notes are to become due and payable at their Maturity Date within one year, the Trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Notes of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge).  Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Notes will no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, and will look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the Company which is absolute and unconditional to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed; subject, however, to the provisions for the discharge of the Company from its obligations under the Notes upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph and in the Indenture.

[Description of Note Program, including, as applicable, (a) series designator, (b) rank of indebtedness: and (c) reference to the provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which Note Program is exempt from registration.]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters relating to the issuance by Issuer from time to time of notes under its note program described above (the “Securities”). Issuing Agent shall act as issuing agent with respect to the Securities. Paying Agent shall act as paying agent or other such agent of Issuer with respect to the Securities. Issuance of the Securities has been authorized pursuant to a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, or other such document authorizing the issuance of the Securities, dated as of November 6, 2006.

Paying Agent has entered into a Money Market Instrument Master Note and/or Global Certificates Certificate Agreement, or a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) dated as of October 31, 1988, pursuant to which

DTCC.

The Depository Trust &
Clearing Corporation




Paying Agent shall act as custodian of a Master Note Certificate and/or Global Certificates evidencing the Securities, when issued. Paying Agent shall amend Exhibit A to such Certificate Agreement to include the note program described above, prior to issuance of the Securities.

To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC and to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer, Issuing Agent, and Paying Agent make the following representations to DTC:

1.             All or certain issues of the Securities shall be evidenced by one Master NoteCertificate, or by one or more Global Certificates for each issue, in registered form registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., and such Certificate or Certificates shall represent 100% of the principal amount of the Securities issued through DTC. The Master Note Certificate, if any, shall include the substance of all material provisions set forth in the appropriate DTC model Master Note for the note program described above, a copy of which previously has been furnished to Issuing Agent and Paying Agent, and may include additional provisions as long as they do not conflict with the material provisions set forth in the DTC model. If the principal amount of an issue of the Securities to be evidenced by one or more Global Certificates, if any, exceeds $500 million, one Global Certificate shall be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount and an additional Global Certificate shall be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount. Paying Agent shall cause each Global Certificate to be stamped with the following legend:

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

2.            Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligation to, and will not, communicate to its participants (“Participants”) or to any person having an interest in the Securities any information contained in the Master Note Certificate, if any, or the Global Certificates, if any; and (b) acknowledges that neither DTC’s Participants nor any person having an interest in the Securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of such Certificate or Certificates by virtue of submission of such Certificate or Certificates to DTC.

3.                   Issuer or Issuing Agent has obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of approximately 50 or fewer nine-character numbers (the basic first six characters of which are the same and uniquely identify Issuer and the Securities to be issued under its note program described above). The CUSIP numbers on such list have been reserved for future assignment to issues of the Securities. At any time when fewer than 25 of the CUSIP numbers on such list remain unassigned, Issuer or Issuing Agent shall promptly obtain from the CUSIP Service Bureau an additional written list of approximately 50 or fewer such numbers.

2




4.            When Securities are to be issued through DTC, Issuing Agent shall notify Paying Agent and shall give issuance instructions to DTC in accordance with DTC’s Procedures, including DTC’s Final Plan for DTC Money Market Programs, and DTC’s Issuing/Paying Agent General Operating Procedures and Participant Terminal System Procedures for Medium-Term Notes (MTNs) Including Deposit Notes and Medium-Term Bank Notes (the “MMI Procedures”), a copy of which previously has been furnished to Issuing Agent and Paying Agent. The giving of such issuance instructions, which include delivery instructions, to DTC shall constitute: (a) a representation that the Securities are issued in accordance with applicable law; and (b) a confirmation that a Master Note Certificate, or a Global Certificate (or Certificates), evidencing such Securities, in the form described in paragraph 1, has been issued and authenticated.

5.                   All notices and payment advises sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP number of the Securities.

6.            Issuer recognizes that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the Securities with the following, as amended from time to time: (a) any exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933; (b) the Investment Company Act of 1940; (c) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; (d) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; (e) any rules of any self-regulatory organizations (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or (f) any other local, state, federal, or foreign laws or regulations thereunder.

7.            If issuance of Securities through DTC is scheduled to take place one or more days after Issuing Agent has given issuance instructions to DTC, Issuing Agent may cancel such issuance by giving a cancellation instruction to DTC in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

8.                   At any time that Paying Agent has Securities in its DTC accounts, it may request withdrawal of such Securities from DTC by giving a withdrawal instruction to DTC in accordance with the MMI Procedures. Upon DTC’s acceptance of such withdrawal instruction, Paying Agent shall reduce the principal amount of the Securities evidenced, as the case may be, by the Master Note Certificate, or by one or more Global Certificates, accordingly.

9.                   In the event of any solicitation of consents from or voting by holders of the Securities, Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent shall establish a record date for such purposes (with no provision for revocation of consents or votes by subsequent holders) and shall send notice of such record date to DTC’s Reorganization Department, Proxy Unit no fewer than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date. If sent by telecopy, such notice shall be directed to (212) 855-5181 or (212) 855-5182. If the party sending the notice does not receive a telecopy receipt from DTC such party shall confirm DTC’s receipt of such telecopy by telephoning (212) 855-5187. For information regarding such notices, telephone The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s Proxy hotline at (212) 855-5191.

10.                 Notices of reorganization events (corporate actions) with respect to the Securities, including full or partial redemptions (calls), repayments (puts), extensions of maturities, resets of interest rates or spreads, mandatory tenders, and consolidations of individual issues, shall be given to DTC by Paying Agent in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

3




11.                 Paying Agent may override DTC’s determination of interest and principal payment dates, in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

12.                 Notice regarding the amount of variable interest and principal payments on the Securities shall be given to DTC by Paying Agent in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

13.                 All notices sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP number of the Securities.

14.                 Paying Agent shall confirm with DTC daily, by CUSIP number, the face value of the Securities outstanding, and Paying Agent’s corresponding interest and principal payment obligation, in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

15.                 DTC may direct Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent to use any other telephone number or address as the number or address to which notices or payments may be sent.

16.                 Payments on the Securities, including payments in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, shall be made by Paying Agent in accordance with the MMI Procedures.

17.                 In the event that Issuer determines that beneficial owners of Securities shall be able to obtain certificated Securities, Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent shall notify DTC of the availability of certificates. In such event, Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent shall issue, transfer, and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts, as required by DTC and others.

18.                 DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent (at which time DTC will confirm with Issuer, Issuing Agent, or Paying Agent the aggregate amount of Securities outstanding by CUSIP number). Under such circumstances, at DTC’s request, Issuer, Issuing Agent, and Paying Agent shall cooperate fully with DTC by taking appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing Securities to any Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts.

19.                 Issuer authorizes DTC to provide to Issuing Agent and/or Paying Agent listings of DTC Participants’ holdings, known as Security Position Reports (“SPRs”) with respect to the Assets from time to time at the request of Issuing Agent or Paying Agent. DTC charges a fee for such SPRs. This authorization, unless revoked by Issuer, shall continue with respect to the Assets while any Assets are on deposit at DTC, until and unless Issuing Agent and/or Paying Agent shall no longer be acting as Issuing and/or Paying Agent for Issuer. In such event, Issuer shall provide DTC with similar evidence, satisfactory to DTC, of the authorization of any successor thereto so to act. Proxy Web Services are available at www.dtc.org. To register for or inquire about Proxy Web Services, telephone The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s Proxy Hotline at (212) 855-5191.

20.          Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Issuing Agent or Paying Agent to advance funds on behalf of Issuer.

21.          This Letter of Representations may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

4




22.           This Letter of Representations shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principals of conflicts of law.

23.          The sender of each notice delivered to DTC pursuant to this Letter of Representations is responsible for confirming that such notice was properly received by DTC.

24.          Issuer represents that the Securities are not securities of an issuer that is listed on the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) issuer list distributed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or of an issuer that is incorporated in a country that is on the OFAC list of “pariah” countries.

25.          Issuer, Issuing Agent and Paying Agent shall comply with the applicable requirements stated in DTC’s MMI Procedures, as they may be amended from time to time.

26.          The following riders, attached hereto, are hereby incorporated into this Letter of Representations:

SCHEDULE A

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE

(Prepared by DTC—bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)

1.              The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]

2.        DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

3.        Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the

i




transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

4.         To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

5.              Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]

[6.       Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]

7.        Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

8.             Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

ii




[9.       A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]

10.           DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

11.           Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

12.           The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

       Registration of Senior Debt Securities

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by PACCAR Financial Corp., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, senior debt securities of the Company without limitation as to aggregate principal amount (the “Debt Securities”) to be issued under the indenture dated as of December 1, 1983 as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 19, 1989 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, from time to time as set forth in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement and in supplements to the Prospectus.

As counsel for the Company, I have been requested to furnish this opinion in connection with such registration. I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates of public officials and other documents as I have considered necessary as a basis for this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

1.   The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding indenture of the Company.

2.   When (i) the issuance of the Debt Securities has been duly authorized by appropriate corporate action, (ii) the Debt Securities have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture and (iii) the Debt Securities are sold as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and in supplements to the Prospectus, and payment is received therefor, and while the Registration Statement is effective and in compliance with applicable state securities laws, the Debt Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

This opinion is based upon the laws of the United States and the State of Washington at the date hereof and would not necessarily be the same at any subsequent date.  I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference made to me under the caption “Validity of Securities” in the Prospectus.

 

Very truly yours,

(3)                        Except as may otherwise be required by law or by the provisions of such resolution or resolutions as may be adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to section (b) of this Article Fourth, each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of Common Stock held on all matters voted upon by the stockholders.

(b)        The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each year.

Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of directors. At such election, the stockholders shall elect a successor to such director to hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Charter or Act of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Charter or Act of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation), any director or the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation may be removed at any time without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

(d)    Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors. Such nominations shall be made by notice in writing, delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 14 days nor more than 50 days prior to any meeting of the stockholders called for the election of directors; provided, however, that if less than 21 days’ notice of the meeting is given to stockholders, such written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than the close of the seventh day following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed to stockholders. Notice of nominations which are proposed by the Board of Directors shall be given by the Chairman on behalf of the Board.

(g)    No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

Sixth: - The Directors shall choose such officers, agents and servants as may be provided in the By-Laws as they may from time to time find necessary or proper.

Seventh: - The Corporation hereby created is hereby given the same powers, rights and privileges as may be conferred upon corporations organized under the Act entitled “An Act Providing a General Corporation Law”, approved March 10, 1899, as from time to time amended.

Eighth: - This Act shall be deemed and taken to be a private Act.

Ninth: - This Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

Tenth: - The Board of Directors, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, may designate any of their number to constitute an Executive Committee, which Committee, to the extent provided in said resolution, or in the By-Laws of the Company, shall have and may exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and shall have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.

Eleventh: - The private property of the stockholders shall not be liable for the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.

Twelfth: - The Corporation may transact business in any part of the world.

Thirteenth: - The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation by a vote of the majority of the entire Board. The stockholders may make, alter or repeal any By-Law whether or not adopted by them, provided however, that any such additional By-Laws, alterations or repeal may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class).

Fourteenth: - Meetings of the Directors may be held outside of the State of Delaware at such places as may be from time to time designated by the Board, and the Directors may keep the books of the Company outside of the State of Delaware at such places as may be from time to time
