$500mm Senior Notes Offering Final Terms
     Interest Rate Adjustment
     The interest rate payable on each series of senior notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or Moody’s) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. (or S&P) downgrades the debt rating applicable to the senior notes as set forth below.
     If the rating from Moody’s is decreased to a rating set out below, the interest rates will increase from those set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement for each of the series of the senior Notes by the percentage set opposite that rating:
         
Rating   Percentage  
Ba1
    .25 %
Ba2
    .50 %
Ba3
    .75 %
B1 or below
    1.00 %
     If the rating from S&P is decreased to a rating set out below, the interest rates will increase from the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement for each of the series of the senior notes by the percentage set opposite that rating:
         
Rating   Percentage  
BB+
    .25 %
BB
    .50 %
BB-
    .75 %
B+ or below
    1.00 %
     Each adjustment required by any decrease in the rating as set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. If Moody’s or S&P subsequently increases its rating to any of the thresholds set forth above, the interest rates on each of the series of the senior notes will be decreased such that the interest rates for each of the series of the senior notes equals the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement plus the percentage set opposite that rating, or zero in the event the rating is above the applicable listed rating. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for any series of senior notes be reduced to below the interest rate set forth for such series on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, and (2) the total increase in the interest rate on any series of senior notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate set forth for such series on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
     If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide the rating, any subsequent increase in the interest rates of the senior notes necessitated by a reduction in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rates of the senior notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide the rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide the rating, the interest rates of the senior notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
     Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rates.
