The Series 5 Stock will be redeemed on September 13, 2012.

The redemptions will be in accordance with the Depository Trust Company's procedures.

After the redemption date, dividends on the Series 5 Stock will cease to accrue and such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders in respect of such shares being redeemed will terminate, except for the right to receive the redemption price, without interest thereon. Because the redemption is a redemption in full, the Series 5 Stock will be delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
