The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the

listed below (the “Senior Notes”).
The “Total Consideration” per $1,000 principal amount of Senior
Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the
Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer Documents
by reference to a fixed spread specified for each series of Senior
Notes over the yield based on the bid-side price of the Reference
U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table below. Holders will
also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but
