The redemption date for the Securities will be June 15, 2018 (the "Redemption Date").  In accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Securities, the redemption price to be paid by the Trust for the Securities is 100% of the Liquidation Amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price").  The Redemption Price shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date in respect of each surrendered Securities and interest on each Securities (whether or not surrendered) shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

In order to receive payment of the Redemption Price, the Securities certificates must be presented and surrendered to the Institutional Trustee, as paying agent ("the "Paying Agent") at the address indicated below:

The method of delivery of the Securities is at the election and risk of the holder surrendering the Securities and delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Paying Agent.  If delivery is by mail, it is suggested that the holder use properly insured, registered mail with return receipt requested.
