(1) The applicable page on Bloomberg from which the Dealer Managers will quote the bid-side prices of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security.

 

(2) Hypothetical Total Consideration calculated as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 23, 2015 assuming an Early Settlement Date of December 11, 2015.

 

(3) Inclusive of the Early Tender Premium.

 

The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the general conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on December 22, 2015 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2015), unless extended or earlier terminated by the Offeror (as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Date"). Tenders of Securities may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2015, but may not be withdrawn thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

 

The consideration paid in the Offer for each series of Securities that are purchased pursuant to the Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above (the "Total Consideration"). Holders of the Securities that are validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2015 (the "Early Tender Date") and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium"). Holders of Securities who validly tender their Securities following the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the applicable "Tender Offer Consideration" per $1,000 principal amount of any such Securities that are accepted for purchase, which will equal the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration will be determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2015, unless extended by the Offeror.

 

Payments for Securities purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Securities accepted for purchase (the "Accrued Interest"). Payment for Securities that are validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will be made promptly following the Early Tender Date (such date, the "EarlySettlement Date"). Payment for any Securities that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will be made promptly following the Expiration Date (such date, the "Final Settlement Date"; each of the Early Settlement Date and any Final Settlement Date, a "Settlement Date"). Assuming that the general conditions to the Offer are satisfied or waived, the Offeror expects that the Early Settlement Date will be December 11, 2015, and any Final Settlement Date will be December 24, 2015. No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date will be valid.

 

Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount and the proration arrangements applicable to the Offer, all Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any tendered Securities having a lower Acceptance Priority Level and will be purchased on the Early Settlement Date. Among any Securities validly tendered following the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date, Securities having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Securities having a lower Acceptance Priority Level. If the Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date even if such Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Securities tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date.

 

Securities of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, absent an amendment of the Offer, if the Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who validly tender Securities following the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Securities accepted for purchase. Securities purchased pursuant to the Offer will be cancelled.

 

The Offeror's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the general conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase. The Offeror reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all of the conditions to the Offer; (ii) extend or terminate the Offer; (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount; or (iv) otherwise amend the Offer in any respect.
