(d)The Company will take such action as the Agents shall reasonably request in order to qualify the Notes for offering and sale under the securities laws of such states as the Agents may designate and will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as necessary under such laws for the distribution of the Notes, provided that in connection therewith, the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business, or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, and provided further that the expense of maintaining any such qualification more than one year from the date of a particular sale of the Notes to be so qualified shall be at the expense of the Agents.

(e)The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) or (c) of this Section or the provisions of Section 6(b), (c) or (d) during any period from the time the Agents have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Notes pursuant to a direction from the Company to the time the Company shall determine that the solicitation of the purchases of the Notes should be resumed or shall subsequently enter into a new Terms Agreement with an Agent.

(f)The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than eighteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such date is defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act), an earnings statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries complying with Rule 158 under the Act and covering a period of at least twelve consecutive months beginning after such “effective date.”

(g)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperation with the Agents to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(h)The Company will prepare, with respect to any Notes to be sold through or to an Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a pricing supplement with respect to such Notes (each a “Pricing Supplement”) and will file such Pricing Supplement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act not later than the close of business on the second business day following the earlier of the date of the determination of the offering price for the applicable Notes or the date on which such Pricing Supplement is first used. If an Agent has advised the Company that the Agent is relying, in connection with any offering of Notes, upon the exemption from Section 5(b) of the Act set forth in Rule 172 under the Act, and the Company is unable to file the applicable Pricing Supplement within the time required under Rule 424 under the Act, the Company shall file such Pricing Supplement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, as contemplated by Rule 172(c)(3).

(i)The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the applicable Agent(s), and each applicable 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 Notes of the particular tranche that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations, required to be filed with the SEC. Any such free writing prospectus consented to in writing by the Company and the applicable Agent is referred to herein as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely SEC filing where required, legending and record keeping. Subject to the consent of the applicable Agent(s), the Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the final terms of the Notes of each particular tranche and their offering and will file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) of the 1933 Act Regulations following the date such final terms have been established for such Notes. Any such final term sheet is and shall be deemed to be an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company consents to the use by any Agent of any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that contains (a)(i) only information describing the preliminary terms of the Notes generally or the Notes of any particular tranche specifically or their offering or (ii) information that describes the final terms of the Notes of any particular tranche or their offering and that is or is to be included in the Pricing Supplement or (b) other customary information that is neither issuer information as defined in Rule 433 or otherwise an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings.

(e)On the date hereof and on each Closing Date, counsel to the Agents shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Agents and to their counsel.

(f)The obligations of the Agents to purchase Notes from the Company are subject to the following further conditions: (i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the SEC; (ii) the Company shall have filed the Pricing Supplement for particular Notes with the SEC in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the Act; (iii) there shall not have come to the attention of any Agent any facts that would cause such Agent to believe that the Registration Statement included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at such time, not misleading; and (iv) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, there shall not have occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting particularly the business or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or any material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, which in any such case makes it impracticable or inadvisable in the reasonable judgment of the Agents to proceed with the public offering, sale, delivery or purchase of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement or any Terms Agreement.

If any condition specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the applicable Agent or Agents with respect to itself or themselves, respectively, by notice to the Company at any time and any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 7 hereof, the provisions concerning payment of expenses under Section 8 hereof, the provisions concerning the representations, warranties and agreements to survive delivery of Section 9 hereof, the provisions relating to governing law forth in Section 13 and the provisions relating to parties set forth in Section 12 hereof shall remain in effect.

Section 6.In further consideration of the agreements of the Agents herein contained, the Company covenants and agrees with the Agents that:

(a)Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes hereunder (including any purchase by an Agent as principal not pursuant to a Terms Agreement), and each delivery of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent), shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations

and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement and, to the extent therein provided, in any certificate theretofore delivered to the Agents pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the Closing Date for the Note or Notes, or as of the Applicable Time relating to such sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of each such time (except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to each such time).

(b)Each time that:

(1)the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies;

(2)the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC;

(3)the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 2.01 of Form 8-K with the SEC; or

(4)if requested upon reasonable advance notice by the Agents after the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus has otherwise been, or is to be, amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for interest rates, maturity dates or other terms of Notes or similar changes or which relates to an offering of securities other than the Notes);

the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents forthwith a certificate dated the date so specified in such Terms Agreement, the date of filing with the SEC of such document or the date of the issuance of such other amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 5(c) hereof which was last furnished to the Agents are true and correct at the date specified in such Terms Agreement, the date of such filing or the date of such issuance, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate substantially similar to the certificate referred to in Section 5(c) hereof but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents and to counsel of the Agents a written opinion of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, as Managing Counsel – Corporate of Ford, or other counsel satisfactory to the Agents in such Agents’ reasonable judgment, dated the date so specified in such Terms Agreement, the date of filing with the SEC of such document or the date of the issuance of such other amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents in their reasonable judgment, of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 5(a) hereof but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion or, in lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such opinion to the Agents shall furnish the Agents with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d)Each time that:

Section 7.

(a)The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Agent with respect to the applicable Notes against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Agent may become subject with respect to such Notes, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Notes, or arise out of or are 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 will reimburse each such Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each such Agent in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use therein.

The indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act.

(b)Each Agent with respect to the applicable Notes, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject with respect to such Notes, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Notes, or arise out of or are 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

The indemnity agreement in this subsection (b) shall be in addition to any liability which the Agents may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act and the 1934 Act.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and in the event that such indemnified party shall not so notify the indemnifying party within 30 days following receipt of any such notice by such indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall have no further liability under such subsection to such indemnified party unless such indemnifying party shall have received other notice addressed and delivered in the manner provided in Section 11 hereof of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its reasonable judgment, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and each applicable Agent on the other, from the offering of the Notes to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and each applicable Agent on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and each applicable Agent on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by each such Agent (without duplication). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, and each such Agent and the parties’ relative intent, 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 contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if one or more of the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Notes purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such 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. The obligations of the Agents of Notes in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchasing obligations with respect to such Notes and not joint.

In soliciting purchases of Notes from the Company (other than in respect of any purchase by an Agent as principal), an Agent is acting solely as an agent for the Company, and not as a principal. An applicable Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not have any liability to the Company in the event such purchase is not consummated for any reason.

Terms Agreement

February 7, 2024

To the Agent(s) listed on
the signature page hereto:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (the “Company”) proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Sales Agency Agreement, dated February 7, 2024 (the “Agency Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, as lead arranger (the “Lead Arranger”), and Barclays Capital Inc., Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., BBVA Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Commerz Markets LLC, Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., ICBC Standard Bank Plc, ING Financial Markets LLC, Intesa Sanpaolo IMI Securities Corp., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Lloyds Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, NatWest Markets Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Santander US Capital Markets LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., SG Americas Securities, LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, UBS Securities LLC, UniCredit Capital Markets LLC, Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (each, an “Agent,” and, collectively, the “Agents”), to issue and sell to the Agents the Notes specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchased Notes”). propose(s) to offer the Notes for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to the Purchased Notes. Each of the provisions of the Agency Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by , as agent(s) of the Company, of offers to purchase Notes is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein. Nothing contained herein or in the Agency Agreement shall make any party hereto an agent of the Company or make such party subject to the provisions therein relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase securities from the Company, solely by virtue of its execution of this Terms Agreement. Each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement, except that each representation and warranty set forth in Section 1 of the Agency Agreement relating to the Prospectus shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of the Agency Agreement and, with respect to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented applicable to the Purchased Notes covered by this Terms Agreement, shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of this Terms Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Agency Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

An amendment to the Registration Statement, or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Notes, in the form heretofore delivered to you, is now proposed to be electronically transmitted for filing with the SEC.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Agency Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to and agrees to purchase from the Company the Purchased Notes, at the time and place, in the principal amount and at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Agency Agreement contained, you may, by notice to the Company given at any time prior to the Closing Date when payment would otherwise be due to the Company hereunder, terminate this Agreement if:

(i)(A) there shall have occurred a declaration of a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in any of the United States, and/or if the Purchased Notes are sold outside the United States, any of the Member States of the European Union or the countries where such Notes are being offered or sold, and/or if such Notes are denominated in a foreign currency, the country of issuance of such currency, by the authorities that govern such banking systems or a material disruption in the securities settlement or clearance systems in the United States, any of the Member States of the European Union or any of the relevant countries relating to currency or markets, which moratorium or disruption remains in effect and which, in your reasonable judgment, substantially impairs your ability to settle the transaction involving such Notes; provided that the exercise of such judgment shall take into account the availability of alternative means for settlement and the likely duration of such moratorium or disruption with the understanding that if the SEC, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation Authority or with respect to a United States banking moratorium, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or with respect to a moratorium of any member state of the European Union or any of the relevant countries relating to currency or markets, the national banking authority of such country, has unequivocally stated prior to the Closing Date that the resumption of such systems will occur within three business days of the scheduled Closing Date for such Notes, the ability to settle the transaction shall not be deemed to be substantially impaired or (B) the United States, any of the Member States of the European Union or any of the relevant countries relating to currency or markets shall not have become engaged in hostilities which have resulted in the declaration of a national emergency or a declaration of war by the governmental authorities empowered to make such declaration, which makes it impracticable or inadvisable, in your reasonable judgment, to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of such Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and this Terms Agreement, or

(ii)there shall have occurred (A) any suspension or limitation on trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any relevant stock exchanges and financial markets relating to currency or markets, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market system, (B) any suspension of trading of any securities of Ford on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (C) any material outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the engagement of armed conflict in which the United States, any of the Member States of the European Union or any of the relevant countries relating to currency or markets is involved or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency or (D) any material adverse change in the general economic, political, legal, tax, regulatory or financial conditions or currency exchange rates in the United States, any of the Member States of the European Union or any of the relevant countries relating to currency or markets (whether resulting from events within or outside of the relevant country) which, in your view, has caused a substantial deterioration in the price and/or value of such Notes, that, in the case of clause (A), (B), (C) or (D), in the mutual reasonable determination of you and the Company, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of such Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and this Terms Agreement.

Furthermore, you may, by notice to the Company given at any time prior to the Closing Date when payment would otherwise be due to the Company hereunder, terminate this Agreement if, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus as

amended or supplemented, there shall have occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting particularly the business or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or any material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, which in any such case makes it impracticable or inadvisable in your reasonable judgment to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Purchased Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and this Terms Agreement.

In addition, the Company hereby confirms that, in consideration for agreeing to distribute the Notes referred to herein, for the purposes thereof only, we will treat in all respects as an Agent for our Ford Motor Credit Company LLC Medium-Term Note Program and such banks will enjoy all rights and benefits, and by signing below such banks agree to be subject to all the obligations of an Agent as set out in the Sales Agency Agreement, dated February 7, 2024, as amended, and a Deal Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by you (a) because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of the Agreement, or (b) if for any reason the Company shall become unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except for the reasons set forth in the immediately preceding paragraphs, the Company agrees to reimburse you for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of your counsel) reasonably incurred by you in connection with the proposed offer and sale of the Notes. The provisions of Section 10 of the Agency Agreement shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, and, upon acceptance hereof by you, this letter and such acceptance hereof, including those provisions of the Sales Agency Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between you and the Company.

The term “Prospectus” means, collectively, (i) the base prospectus relating to various securities of the Company, including the Notes, that was included in the Registration Statement at its time of filing, (ii) the prospectus supplement relating to the Notes most recently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), prior to the offer of any particular Notes and (iii) any final pricing supplement relating to the Notes delivered by the Company to the applicable Agent(s) for conveyance to investors and filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act. The most recent supplement to the Prospectus setting forth the purchase price, interest rate or formula, maturity date and other terms of the Notes (as applicable) 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 without coupons (each, a “Global 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 investor or other purchaser thereof or a person designated by such investor or other purchaser.

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 Certificated Notes will be issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part III hereof. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be.

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 (each, an “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 nine months or more from its Original Issue Date (the “Stated Maturity Date”) selected by the investor or other purchaser and agreed to by the Company.
Registration:			Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, Notes will be issued only in fully registered form.
Denominations:			The Notes will be issued only in denominations of $1,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Interest Rate Bases applicable to Floating Rate Notes:			Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate or rates determined by reference to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, SOFR, EURIBOR, the Prime Rate, the Treasury Rate, or such other interest rate basis or formula as may be set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement, or by reference to two or more such rates, as adjusted by the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, applicable to such Floating Rate Notes.
Redemption/Repayment:			The Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Notes, which will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Note and related Pricing Supplement. If no Initial Redemption Date is indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be redeemable prior to its Stated Maturity Date. The Notes will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes, which will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Note and related Pricing Supplement. If no Optional Repayment Date is indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be repayable at the option of the Holder prior to its Stated Maturity Date.


Calculation of Interest:			In the case of Fixed Rate Notes, unless specified otherwise in the applicable pricing supplement, (including payments for partial periods) will be calculated and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note will be calculated by reference to the specified Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on each Floating Rate Note will be calculated by multiplying its principal amount by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, Federal Funds Rate, SOFR, EURIBOR or Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate or Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. As provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, 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:			General. Each Note will bear interest in accordance with its terms. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on each Note will accrue from and including the Original Issue Date of such Note for the first interest period or from the most recent interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for all subsequent interest periods to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be (the Stated Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment is referred to herein as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date). If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date with respect to any Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the required payment to be made on such day 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 such day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such day to the next succeeding Business Day. If an Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date with respect to any Floating Rate Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note for which SOFR or EURIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date with respect to any Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment to be made on such day 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 such day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the next succeeding Business Day. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Note, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday and that 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 if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, such 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 of the country issuing the Specified Currency. If the Specified Currency is euro, the term Business Day means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, and is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is operating. As used herein, “London Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for business in London.


			“Principal Financial Center” means (i) the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Auckland and Zurich, respectively. Date. Regular Record Dates. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the “Regular Record Date” for a Note shall be the date 15 calendar days (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments will be made on each Interest Payment Date commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date; provided, however, the first payment of interest on any Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will occur on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest payments on Senior Fixed Rate Notes will be made semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year and on the Maturity Date, and interest payments on Subordinated Fixed Rate Notes will be made semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and on the Maturity Date, while interest payments on Floating Rate Notes will be made as specified in the applicable Floating Rate Note and as described in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Acceptance and Rejection of Offers from Solicitation as Agents:			If agreed upon by the applicable Agent and the Company, then such Agent acting solely as agent for the Company and not as principal will solicit purchases of the Notes. Each Agent will communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Notes solicited by such Agent on an agency basis. Each Agent has the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be a breach of such Agent’s agreement contained in the Sales Agency Agreement. The Company has the sole right in its discretion to accept or reject any proposed purchase of Notes, in whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not constitute a breach of the Company’s agreement contained in the Sales Agency Agreement. Each Agent has agreed to make reasonable best efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company.
Preparation of Pricing Supplement:			If any offer to purchase a Note is accepted by the Company, the Company will promptly prepare a Pricing Supplement reflecting the terms of such Note. Information to be included in the Pricing Supplement shall include:


			1. the name of the Company; 2. the principal amount of the Notes; 3. the date of the Pricing Supplement and the date of the Prospectus to which the Pricing Supplement relates; 4. the name of the Offering Agent (as defined below); 5. whether such Notes are being sold to the Offering Agent (as defined below) as principal or to an investor or other purchaser through the Offering Agent acting as agent for the Company; 6. with respect to Notes sold to the Offering Agent as principal, whether such Notes will be resold by the Offering Agent to investors and other purchasers at (i) a fixed public offering price of a specified percentage of their principal amount or (ii) at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of resale to be determined by the Offering Agent;
			7. with respect to Notes sold to an investor or other purchaser through the Offering Agent acting as agent for the Company, whether such Notes will be sold at (i) 100% of their principal amount or (ii) a specified percentage of their principal amount; 8. the Offering Agent’s discount or commission; 9. net proceeds to the Company; 10. the price to public, Principal Amount, Specified Currency, Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity Date, Interest Payment Date(s), Authorized Denomination, Initial Redemption Date, if any, Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, Exchange Rate Agent, if any, and, in the case of Fixed Rate Notes, the Interest Rate, and whether such Fixed Rate Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (and, if so, the Issue Price), and, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, the Interest Category, the Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, the Day Count Convention, the Index Maturity (if applicable), the Initial Interest Rate, if any, the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, the Initial Interest Reset Date, the Interest Reset Dates, the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and the Calculation Agent (if other than The Bank of New York Mellon); and


			11. any other/additional provisions of the Notes material to investors or other purchasers of the Notes not otherwise specified in the Prospectus. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to send such Pricing Supplement by telecopy, electronic delivery of a PDF or overnight express (for delivery by the close of business on the applicable trade date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the applicable trade date) to the Agent which made or presented the offer to purchase the applicable Note (in such capacity, the “Offering Agent”) and the Trustee: if to the Agents, at their respective addresses listed in Annex A hereto; and if to the Trustee, to: The Bank of New York Mellon, Corporate Trust Administration, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx – 0X, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. For record keeping purposes, one copy of such Pricing Supplement shall also be mailed, electronically delivered or transmitted to Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Esq., (000) 000-0000, E-Mail: xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
			In each instance that a Pricing Supplement is prepared, the Offering Agent 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 (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 be settled three Business Days after the trade date, or at such time as the purchaser, the Offering Agent and the Company shall agree, pursuant to the timetable for settlement set forth in Parts II and III hereof under “Settlement Procedure Timetable” with respect to Global Notes and Certificated Notes, respectively (each such date fixed for settlement is hereinafter referred to as a “Closing 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. The foregoing settlement procedures may be modified with respect to any purchase of Notes by an Agent as principal if so agreed by the Company and such Agent.


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 or electronic 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 notifies 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 Offering Agent and the Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth under the applicable “Settlement Procedures.”
Suspension of Solicitation; Amendment or Supplement:			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 the Agents that solicitation of offers to purchase may be resumed. If the Company decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than to establish or change interest rates or formulas, maturities, prices or other similar variable terms with respect to the Notes), it will promptly advise the Agents and will furnish the Agents and their counsel with copies of the proposed amendment or supplement. Copies of such amendment or supplement will be delivered or mailed to the Agents, their counsel and the Trustee in quantities which such parties may reasonably request at the following respective addresses: if to the Agents, at their respective addresses listed in Annex A hereto; and if to the Trustee, to: The Bank of New York Mellon, Corporate Trust Administration, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx – 0X, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. For record keeping purposes, one copy of such Pricing Supplement shall also be mailed, electronically delivered or transmitted to Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Esq., (000) 000-0000, E-Mail: xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx. In the event that at the time the solicitation of offers to purchase from the Company is suspended (other than to establish or change interest rates or formulas, maturities, prices or other similar variable terms with respect to the Notes) 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 Offering Agent(s) 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 such Prospectus may not be so delivered.


Delivery of Prospectus and applicable Pricing Supplement:			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.
Authenticity of Signatures:			The Agents 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.

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 Issuer will perform or cause the Trustee to perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company to DTC, dated February 7, 2024 and the Trustee shall perform 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, Specified Currency, Interest Rate, Interest Payment Dates, redemption and/or repayment terms, if any, and Stated Maturity Date (collectively, the “Fixed Rate Terms”) will be represented initially by a single Global Note; and all Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form having the same Original Issue Date, Specified Currency, Interest Category, formula for the calculation of interest (including the Interest Rate Basis, which may be the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, SOFR, the Prime Rate or the Treasury Rate or any other interest rate basis or formula and spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any), Day Count Convention, Initial Interest Rate, Index Maturity, if any, Minimum Interest Rate, if any, Maximum Interest Rate, if any, redemption and/or repayment terms, if any, Interest Payment Dates, Initial Interest Reset Date, Interest Reset Dates and Stated Maturity Date (collectively, the “Floating Rate Terms”) will be represented initially by a single Global Note. For other variable terms with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes, see the Prospectus and the applicable Pricing Supplement. Owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will be entitled to physical delivery of Certificated Notes equal in principal amount to their respective beneficial interests only upon certain limited circumstances described in the Prospectus.
Identification:			The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (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 Global 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 Global Notes as described below under Settlement Procedure B. DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Company has assigned to Global Notes. The Trustee will notify the Company at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers remain unassigned to Global Notes, and, if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve and obtain additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Notes. Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, the Company will deliver a list of such additional numbers to the Trustee and DTC. Notes issued in book-entry form in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign


			or composite currencies) aggregate principal amount and otherwise required to be represented by the same Global Note will instead be represented by two or more Global Notes which shall all be assigned the same CUSIP number.
Registration:			Unless otherwise specified by DTC, each Global 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 Global 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.
Transfers:			Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in a Global 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 Global Note.


Exchanges:			The Trustee may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice specifying (a) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Global Notes outstanding on such date that represent Global 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 Notes issued in book-entry form, on which such Global Notes shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global Note; and (c) a new CUSIP number, obtained from the Company, to be assigned to such replacement Global 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 exchange 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 Global Notes to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, the Trustee will exchange such Global Notes for a single Global Note bearing the new CUSIP number and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Notes will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be canceled and not immediately reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Global Notes to be exchanged exceed $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) in aggregate principal amount, one replacement Note will be authenticated and issued to represent each $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) in aggregate principal amount of the exchanged Global Notes and an additional Global Note or Notes will be authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Global Notes (See “Denominations” below).
Denominations:			Notes issued in book-entry form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof Global Notes will not be denominated in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) aggregate principal amount. If one or more Notes are issued in book-entry form in excess of $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) aggregate principal amount and would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Note, then one Global Note will be issued to represent each $500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies) in aggregate principal amount of such Notes issued in book-entry form and an additional Global Note or Notes will be issued to represent any remaining aggregate principal amount of such Notes issued in book-entry form. In such a case, each of the Global 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 Global Note on the following Interest Payment Date (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 Global Note on such Interest Payment Date by reference to the daily bond reports published by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group. On such Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee in immediately available funds an amount sufficient to pay the interest then due and owing on the Global Notes, and upon receipt of such funds from the Company, the Trustee in turn will pay to DTC such total amount of interest due on such Global Notes (other than on the Maturity Date) which is payable in U.S. dollars, at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.” The Trustee shall make payment of that amount of interest due and owing on any Global Notes that Participants have elected to receive in foreign or composite currencies directly to such Participants.
			Notice of Interest Rates. Promptly after each Interest Determination Date or Calculation Date, as the case may be, for Floating Rate Notes issued in book-entry form, the Trustee will notify each of Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of the interest rates determined as of 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, premium, if any, and interest, to be paid on each Global Note maturing or otherwise becoming due in the following month. The Trustee, the Company and DTC will confirm the amounts of such principal, premium, if any, and interest payments with respect to each such Global Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date of such Global Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee in immediately available funds an amount sufficient to make the required payments, and upon receipt of such funds the Trustee in turn will pay to DTC the principal amount of Global Notes, together with premium, if any, and interest due on the Maturity Date, which are payable in U.S. dollars, at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.” The Trustee shall make payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest to be paid on the Maturity Date of each Global Note that Participants have elected to receive in foreign or composite currencies directly to such Participants. Promptly after (i) payment to DTC of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Maturity Date of such Global Note which are payable in U.S. dollars and (ii) payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Maturity Date of such Global Note to those Participants who have elected to receive such payments in foreign or composite currencies, the Trustee will cancel such Global Note and deliver it to the Company with an appropriate debit advice. 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 Global Notes as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.
			Manner of Payment. The total amount of any principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Notes on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, which is payable in U.S. dollars shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee in funds available for use by the Trustee no later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company will make such payment on such Global Notes to an account specified by the Trustee. Upon receipt of such funds, 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 principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Notes on such date. Thereafter on 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 the beneficial interests in such Global 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 of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Global Notes. The Trustee shall make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on each Global Note that Participants have elected to receive in foreign or composite 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 Global 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 Global Note.

Any entry of such a delivery order shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee to DTC that (i) the Global Note representing such Note has been issued and authenticated and (ii) the Trustee is holding such Global Note.


			(g) In the case of Notes in book-entry form sold through the Offering Agent, as agent, the Offering Agent will enter an SDFS delivery order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC (i) to debit such Note to the Offering 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 Offering Agent maintained by DTC in an amount equal to the initial public offering price of such Note. (h) Transfers of funds in accordance with SDFS delivery orders described in Settlement Procedures (f) and (g) will be settled in accordance with SDFS operating procedures in effect on the Closing Date. (i) Upon receipt, the Trustee will pay the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Company to the Trustee from time to time, the amount transferred to the Trustee in accordance with Settlement Procedure (f). (j) The Trustee will send a copy of the Global Note by first-class mail to the Company together with a statement setting forth the principal amount of Notes Outstanding as of the related Closing 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. (k) If such Note was sold through the Offering Agent, as agent, the Offering Agent will confirm the purchase of such Note to the investor or other 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 investor or other purchaser.
Settlement Procedures Timetable:			For offers to purchase Notes accepted by the Company, Settlement Procedures (a) through (k) set forth above shall be completed as soon as possible after the Company’s acceptance of any such offer but not later than the respective times (New York City time) set forth below:


			SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE			TIME
			(a)			11:00 a.m. on the trade date or within one hour of acceptance of offer
			(b)			12:00 noon on the trade date or within one hour of acceptance of offer
			(c)			No later than the close of business on the trade date
			(d)			9:00 a.m. on Closing Date
			(e)			10:00 a.m. on Closing Date
			(f)-(g)			No later than 2:00 p.m. on Closing Date
			(h)			4:00 p.m. on Closing Date
			(i)-(j)			5:00 p.m. on Closing Date


			Settlement Procedure (h) 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 Closing Date.
			If settlement of a Note issued in book-entry form is rescheduled or canceled, the Trustee will deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Closing Date.


Failure to Settle:			If the Trustee fails to enter an SDFS delivery order with respect to a Note issued in book-entry form pursuant to Settlement Procedure (f), the Trustee may 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 Global 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 Global Note, the Trustee will mark such Global Note “canceled,” make appropriate entries in its records and send certification of destruction of such canceled Global Note to the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global 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 Global Note, the Trustee will exchange such Global Note for two Global Notes, one of which shall represent the Global 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 Global Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Note.


			In the case of any Note in book-entry form sold through the Offering Agent, as agent, if the purchase price for any such Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect thereto by the beneficial investor or other purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such investor or other purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the related Offering Agent may enter SDFS delivery orders through DTC’s Participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures (f) and (g), respectively. Thereafter, the Trustee will 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 Offering Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Sales Agency Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Offering Agent on an equitable basis for its reasonable 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 Note in book-entry form, 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 Global Note also representing other Notes, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedure (d), for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing such remaining Notes and will make appropriate entries in its records. In the event that any of the Company, the Trustee or the Offering Agent (each, a “Relevant Party”) shall learn that the sale of a Note in book-entry form shall have failed to settle on the scheduled Closing Date, the Company, the Trustee or the Offering Agent, as the case may be, shall notify the other Relevant Parties of such fact as soon as practicable.
