CITIGROUP FUNDING INC., a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(herein referred to as the “Company”), for value
received hereby promises to pay CEDE & Co. or registered
assigns (a) the Principal Amount or, in the case of an Indexed
Principal Note, the Face Amount adjusted by reference to prices,
changes in prices, or differences between prices, of securities,
currencies, intangibles, goods, articles or commodities or by such
other objective price, economic or other measures (an
“Index”) as described on the face hereof or in the
pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith, in the
Specified Currency on the Stated Maturity shown above or earlier if
and to the extent so provided herein, and (b) accrued interest on
the Principal Amount then outstanding (or, in the case of an
Indexed Principal Note, the Face Amount then outstanding):
(i) if this is a Floating Rate Note, at the Initial Interest
Rate shown above from the Original Issue Date shown above until the
first Interest Reset Date shown above following the Original Issue
Date and thereafter at the Base Rate shown above, adjusted by the
Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, shown above, determined in
accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) if this is an Indexed
Rate Note, at a rate determined by reference to an Index as
described herein, (iii) if this is an Inverse Floating Rate Note,
at the Initial Interest Rate shown above from the Original Issue
Date shown above until the first Interest Reset Date shown above
following the Original Issue Date and thereafter at the Inverse
Floating Rate, as determined in accordance with the provisions
hereof, or (iv) if this is a Floating Rate / Fixed Rate Note, at a
rate determined as described herein, until, in each case, the
Principal Amount or the Face Amount then outstanding is paid or
duly provided for in accordance with the terms hereof.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on each Interest Payment Date will, as provided
in the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the
person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which, unless otherwise specified on
the face of this Note or in the pricing supplement attached hereto
or delivered herewith (and other than interest payable at Stated
Maturity), shall be the date (whether or not a Business Day)
fifteen calendar days immediately preceding such Interest Payment
Date and, in the case of interest payable at Stated Maturity, shall
be the Stated Maturity of this Note. Any such interest
not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Registered Holder hereof on such Regular
Record Date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close
of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall
be given to Holders of Notes not less than ten days prior to such
Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Registered Notes may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture.
The Company and the Trustee acknowledge that the
Company is a “participating entity,” as that term is
defined in 12 CFR Section 370.2(g), in the debt guarantee program
(the “Debt Guarantee Program”) established by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) under
its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program
(“TLGP”). As a result, this debt is
guaranteed under the FDIC TLGP and is backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States. The details of the FDIC
guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 CFR Part
370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/tlgp
. The expiration date of the FDIC’s guarantee is
the earlier of the maturity date of this debt or June 30,
2012.
The Bank of New York Mellon is hereby designated
as the duly authorized representative of the holder for purposes of
making claims and taking other permitted or required actions under
the Debt Guarantee Program (the
“Representative”). Any holder may elect not
to be represented by the Representative by providing written notice
of such election to the Representative.
For purposes of this Note, “Business
Day” means: (i) with respect to any Registered Note, any day
that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New York,
is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or
obligated by law or executive order to close; (ii) if the Base Rate
specified above is LIBOR, any such day on which dealings in
deposits in the Specified Currency are transacted in the London
interbank market (a “London Business Day”); (iii) with
respect to any determination by the exchange rate agent (as defined
below) of an exchange rate pursuant to notes having a specified
currency other than U.S. dollars, any such day on which banking
institutions and foreign exchange markets settle payments in New
York City and London (an “Exchange Rate Business Day”);
(iv) with respect to Registered Notes having a specified currency
other than U.S. dollars only, other than Registered Notes
denominated in Euros, any day that, in the principal financial
center (as defined below) of the country of the Specified Currency,
is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized
or obligated by law to close; and (v) with respect to EURIBOR Notes
and Notes denominated in Euros, a day on which the Trans-European
Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer
(“TARGET”) System is open (a “Target Business
Day”).
As used above, a “principal financial
center” means the capital city of the country issuing the
specified currency. However, with respect to U.S.
dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, and Swiss francs,
the principal financial center shall be The City of New York,
Sydney, Toronto, and Zurich, respectively.
If this Note is an Amortizing Note as shown on
the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith, a portion or all the principal amount of the
Note is payable prior to Stated Maturity in accordance with a
schedule, by application of a formula, or by reference to an Index
(as described above).
If the Holder of this Note has a
Survivor’s Option, as indicated above, to elect repayment of
this Note prior to Stated Maturity in the event of the death of any
beneficial owner hereof, then, pursuant to exercise of such
Survivor’s Option, the Company will repay this Note (or
applicable portion hereof) when properly tendered for repayment by
or on behalf of the Person (the “Representative”) that
has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner
hereof under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including,
without limitation, the personal representative, executor,
surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant by the entirety of such
deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to the Amortized Face
Amount (calculated as set forth below) payable hereunder with
respect to such beneficial owner, plus accrued interest thereon to
the date of such repayment; provided , however , that
the Company may, in its sole discretion, limit to $2,500,000 (or
the approximate equivalent thereof in other currencies) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series as to which
exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in any
calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”) and, in the
event that the Annual Put Limitation is applied, limit to $250,000
(or the approximate equivalent thereof in other currencies) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) as to
which exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in
such calendar year with respect to any individual deceased
beneficial owner of Notes; and provided , further ,
that the Company will not make any principal payment pursuant to
exercise of the Survivor’s Option in an amount that is less
than $5,000 (or the approximate equivalent thereof in other
currencies), and, in the event that the foregoing limitations would
result in the partial repayment to any individual deceased
beneficial owner of Notes, the principal amount owned by such
deceased beneficial owner must not be less than $5,000 (or the
approximate equivalent thereof in other currencies) as a result of
such repayment, which is the minimum authorized denomination of the
Notes. This Note, or any portion hereof, if tendered
pursuant to an exercise of the Survivor’s Option, may be
withdrawn by a written request of the Holder hereof received by the
Paying Agent prior to its repayment.
The Amortized Face Amount of this Note on any
date shall be the amount equal to (i) the Issue Price set forth on
the face hereof plus (ii) that portion of the difference between
such Issue Price and the stated principal amount of such Note that
has accrued by such date at (x) the Bond Yield to Maturity set
forth on the face hereof or (y) if so specified, the Bond Yield to
Call set forth on the face hereof (computed in each case in
accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield
computation principles), provided , however , that in
no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of a Note exceed its
stated principal amount. The Bond Yield to Call listed
on the face of this Note shall be computed on the basis of the
first occurring Optional Redemption Date with respect to such Note
and the amount payable on such Optional Redemption
Date. In the event that such Note is not redeemed on
such first occurring Optional Redemption Date, the Bond Yield to
Call with respect to such Note shall be recomputed on such Optional
Redemption Date on the basis of the next occurring Optional
Redemption Date and the amount payable on such Optional Redemption
Date, and shall continue to be so recomputed on each succeeding
Optional Redemption Date until the Note is so redeemed.
This Note (or any portion hereof), if tendered
pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option, will
be accepted promptly based on the order in which all such Notes (or
any portion thereof) are tendered, unless the acceptance hereof
would (i) contravene the Annual Put Limitation or (ii) result in
the acceptance during the then current calendar year of an
aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) exceeding
$250,000 (or the approximate equivalent thereof) with respect to
any individual deceased beneficial owner. If, as of the
end of any calendar year, the Company has not imposed the Annual
Put Limitation or the aggregate principal amount of Notes that have
been accepted pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option
during such year has not exceeded the Annual Put Limitation for
such year, any exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect
to this Note (or any portion hereof) not accepted during such
calendar year because more than $250,000 (or the approximate
equivalent thereof) aggregate principal amount of Notes (or
portions thereof) was tendered with respect to the individual
deceased beneficial owner hereof will be accepted in the order all
such Notes were tendered, to the extent that any such exercise
would not trigger the Annual Put Limitation, if any, for such
calendar year. This Note (or portion hereof), if
accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s
Option, will be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that
occurs twenty or more calendar days after the date of such
acceptance. If this Note (or any portion hereof) is
tendered for repayment and is not accepted in any calendar year due
to the application of the Annual Put Limitation, then this Note (or
any such portion) will be deemed to be tendered in the following
calendar year based on the order in which all such Notes (or any
portion thereof) were originally tendered, unless this Note (or any
such portion hereof) is withdrawn by the Holder. In the
event that this Note (or any portion hereof) tendered for repayment
pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not
accepted, the Paying Agent will deliver a notice to the affected
Representative by first-class mail to the broker or other entity
that represents the deceased beneficial owner of this Note that
states the reasons this Note (or such portion) has not been
accepted for repayment.
Subject to the foregoing, in order for the
Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised, the Paying Agent
must receive (i) a written request for repayment signed by the
Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member
firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial
bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the
United States, (ii) tender of this Note (or applicable portion
hereof), (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Company and
the Paying Agent that (A) the Representative has authority to act
on behalf of the applicable deceased beneficial owner hereof, (B)
the death of such beneficial owner has occurred and (C) the
deceased was a beneficial owner hereof at the time of death, and
(iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement,
and (v) if the Note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial
owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Paying Agent from such
nominee attesting to the beneficial ownership of such
Note. All questions as to the eligibility or validity of
any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by
the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination will be
final and binding.
The principal hereof and any premium and
interest hereon are payable by the Company in the Specified
Currency shown above. If the Specified Currency shown
above is other than U.S. dollars, the Company will arrange to
convert all payments in respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the
manner described on the reverse hereof. The Holder
hereof may, if so indicated above, elect to receive all payments in
respect hereof in the Specified Currency by delivery of a written
notice to the Trustee not later than fifteen calendar days prior to
the applicable payment date. Such election will remain
in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee received
not later than fifteen calendar days prior to the applicable
payment date. If the Company determines that the
Specified Currency is not available for making payments in respect
hereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company’s control or is no longer
used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for
the settlement of transactions by public institutions or within the
international banking community, then the Holder hereof may not so
elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency, and any such
outstanding election shall be automatically suspended, and payments
shall be in U.S. dollars, until the Company determines that the
Specified Currency is again available for making such
payments.
Payments of interest in U.S. dollars (other than
interest payable at Stated Maturity) will be made by check mailed
to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear on the Register; provided that, if the Holder hereof
is the Holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in a
currency other than U.S. dollars determined as provided on the
reverse hereof) or more in aggregate principal amount of Registered
Notes of like tenor and term, such U.S. dollar interest payments
will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but
only if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received
in writing by the Trustee not less than fifteen calendar days prior
to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Simultaneously
with any election by the Holder hereof to receive payments in
respect hereof in the Specified Currency (if other than U.S.
dollars), such Holder shall provide appropriate wire transfer
instructions to the Trustee and all such payments will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United
States. The principal hereof and any premium and
interest hereon payable at Stated Maturity will be paid in
immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the
corporate trust office or agency of the Trustee located in the City
and State of New York.
The payments due on this Note are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. (the
“Guarantor”).
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER
PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF AND IN ANY
PRICING SUPPLEMENT ATTACHED HERETO OR DELIVERED HEREWITH, AND SUCH
FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS
THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH IN THIS PLACE.
This Note shall not become valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless and until this Note has been authenticated
by Citibank, N.A., or its successor, as authentication
agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this
Note to be executed under its corporate seal.

NOTE, SERIES D
PAYMENTS DUE FROM CITIGROUP FUNDING
INC.
FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
GUARANTEED
BY CITIGROUP INC.
(FLOATING OR INDEXED
RATE)
General
This Note is one of a series of duly authorized
debt securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”)
issued or to be issued in one or more series under an indenture,
dated as of June 1, 2005, as such indenture may be
amended from time to time (the “Indenture”), among the
Company, the Guarantor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee
(the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor
Trustee under the Indenture), to which indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. The payments due on the Debt Securities are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor. This debt
is guaranteed under the FDIC TLGP and is backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States. The details of the FDIC
guarantee are provided in the FDIC’s regulations, 12 CFR Part
370, and at the FDIC’s website, www.fdic.gov/tlgp
. The expiration date of the FDIC’s guarantee is
the earlier of the maturity date of this debt or June 30,
2012.
The U.S. dollar equivalent of the public
offering price or purchase price of Notes denominated in currencies
other than U.S. dollars will be determined by the Company or its
agent, as exchange rate agent for the Notes (the “Exchange
Rate Agent”) on the basis of the noon buying rate in New York
City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the
“Market Exchange Rate”) for such currencies on the
applicable issue dates.
The Notes are in registered form without
coupons. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
pricing supplement, the authorized denominations of Registered
Notes denominated in U.S. dollars will be U.S.$1,000 and any larger
amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. The
authorized denominations of Registered Notes denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars will be the approximate
equivalents thereof in the Specified Currency.
Each Registered Note will be issued initially as
a Book-Entry Note, and will not be exchangeable for Certificated
Notes, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or specified
in the applicable pricing supplement.
Floating
Rate Notes
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or
in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith, if
this Note is a Floating Rate Note, this Note will bear interest
from its Original Issue Date to, but not including, the first
Interest Reset Date (as defined below) at the Initial Interest Rate
set forth on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached
hereto or delivered herewith. Thereafter, the interest
rate hereon for each Interest Reset Period will be determined by
reference to the Base Rate specified on the face hereof or in the
pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith, plus or
minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier,
if any, specified on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement
attached hereto or delivered herewith. The Base Rates
that may be specified on the face hereof or in the pricing
supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith are LIBOR, the
Commercial Paper Rate, the Treasury Rate, the Federal Funds Rate,
the CD Rate, the Prime Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate, EURIBOR or any other Base Rate specified on the face
hereof.
The “Index Maturity” is the period
of maturity of the instrument or obligation from which the Base
Rates are calculated.
“H.15(519)” means the weekly
statistical release designated as H.15(519), Selected
Interest Rates” or any successor publication, published by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily
update of H.15(519), available through the website of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System at
http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/H15/update or any successor site
or publication.
“Calculation Date,” where
applicable, means the date on which the Calculation Agent is to
calculate the interest rate for the Notes as of the related Rate
Determination Date which shall be the earlier of (1) the tenth
calendar day after the related Rate Determination Date, or if any
such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding business day or
(2) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date
or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
As specified on the face hereof or in the
pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith, this Note
may also have either or both of the following (in each case
expressed as a rate per annum on a simple interest
basis): (i) a maximum numerical limitation, or
ceiling, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any
interest period (“Maximum Interest Rate”) and/or
(ii) a minimum numerical limitation, or floor, on the rate at
which interest may accrue during any interest period
(“Minimum Interest Rate”). In addition to
any Maximum Interest Rate that may be specified on the face hereof
or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith,
the interest rate will in no event be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, as the same may be modified by United
States law of general application.
The Company will appoint, and enter into an
agreement with, agents (each, a “Calculation Agent”) to
calculate interest rates on this Note. All
determinations of interest rates by the Calculation Agent shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and
binding on the Holder hereof. Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith, Citibank, N.A. shall be the Calculation Agent
for this Note. At the request of the Holder hereof, the
Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect
and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on
the next Interest Reset Date.
The interest rate hereon will be reset daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually (such period
being the “Interest Reset Period” specified on the face
hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered
herewith, and the first day of each Interest Reset Period being an
“Interest Reset Date”). Unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached
hereto or delivered herewith, the Interest Reset Dates will be as
follows: (i) if this Note resets daily, each Business Day; (ii) if
this Note (unless this Note is a Treasury Rate Note) resets weekly,
Wednesday of each week; (iii) if this Note is a Treasury Rate Note
that resets weekly, Tuesday of each week (except as provided below
under “Determination of Treasury Rate”); (iv) if this
Note resets monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (v) if this
Note is an Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Note that resets
monthly, the first calendar day of each month; (vi) if this Note
resets quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and
December of each year; (vii) if this Note resets semiannually, the
third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified on the
face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith; and (viii) if this Note resets annually, the
third Wednesday of the month of each year specified on the face
hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered
herewith. If an Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a
day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if the
Base Rate specified on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement
attached hereto or delivered herewith is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Interest Reset Date shall instead be the immediately preceding
Business Day. If an auction of direct obligations of
United States Treasury Bills falls on a day that is an Interest
Reset Date for Treasury Rate Notes, the Interest Reset Date shall
be the succeeding Business Day.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or
in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith,
the interest payable hereon on each Interest Payment Date shall
equal the accrued interest from and including the Original Issue
Date or the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect
of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to but
excluding such Interest Payment Date or maturity.
If more than one Interest Reset Date occurs
during any period for which accrued interest is being calculated,
accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the principal
amount hereof (or if this Note is an Indexed Principal Note, the
Face Amount specified on the face hereof or in the pricing
supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith) by an accrued
interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be
computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in
the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal
calculated to seven decimal places without rounding) for each such
day will be computed, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof
or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith,
by dividing the interest rate in effect on such day by 360, if the
Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper
Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the CD Rate, the Prime Rate, the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, LIBOR, or EURIBOR, or by the
actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate specified on
the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith is the Treasury Rate. In all other
cases, accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the
principal amount hereof (or if this Note is an Indexed Principal
Note, the Face Amount specified on the face hereof) by the interest
rate in effect during the period for which accrued interest is
being calculated, and multiplying that product by the quotient
obtained by dividing the number of days in the period for which
accrued interest is being calculated by 360, if the Base Rate
specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the
Federal Funds Rate, the CD Rate, the Prime Rate, the Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate, LIBOR, or EURIBOR, or by the actual
number of days in the year, if the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is the Treasury Rate. For purposes of making the
foregoing calculations, the interest rate in effect on any Interest
Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such
date.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or
in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith,
all percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of
interest hereof will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upward, and all currency amounts used in
or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest
one-hundredth of a unit (with .005 of a unit being rounded
upward).
The pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith will specify the dates on which interest will be
payable. This Note will bear interest from and including
the Original Issue Date at the rates specified in this Note until
the principal is paid or otherwise made available for
payment. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof
or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith,
interest will be payable as follows: (i) if this Note resets daily,
weekly or monthly (other than Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Notes), interest will be payable on the third Wednesday of each
month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and
December of each year, as specified on the face hereof or in the

(v) if this Note resets annually, interest will be payable on the
third Wednesday of the month of each year specified on the face
hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered
herewith, and in each case at Stated Maturity (each such day being
an “Interest Payment Date”). If an Interest
Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day, except that, if the Base Rate specified on
the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such Business Day is in
the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date
shall instead be the immediately preceding Business Day;
provided, however , if with respect to any Note for which
“Accrue to Pay” is not specified on the face hereof or
in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith, if
an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note would otherwise
be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date
shall not be postponed; provided , further , that any
payment required to be made in respect of a Note that does not
Accrue to Pay on a date (including the day of Stated Maturity) that
is not a Business Day for such Note need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on such date, and no additional
interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed
payment.
Subject to applicable provisions of law and
except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of
interest shall be the rate determined in accordance with the
provisions of the applicable heading below.
Determination of CD Rate
If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof or
in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith is
the CD Rate, this Note will bear interest for each Interest Reset
Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CD
Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the
face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or
delivered herewith. The “CD Rate” for each
Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent
as of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for
such Interest Reset Period (a “CD Rate Determination
Date”) for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof or in the
pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith as
published in H.15(519) under the caption “CDs (secondary
market)”. In the event that such rate is not
published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date (as defined above), then the “CD Rate”
for such Interest Reset Period will be the rate on such CD Rate
Determination Date for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of
deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof or in
the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith as
published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic
source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate,
under the caption “CDs (secondary
market).” If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either
H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the “CD Rate” for
such Interest Reset Period will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such CD Rate
Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable
U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar
certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks
of the highest credit standing (in the market for negotiable U.S.
dollar certificates of deposit) with a remaining maturity closest
to the Index Maturity on the face hereof or in the pricing
supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith in a denomination
of $5,000,000; provided, however , that if the dealers
selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate for such
Interest Reset Period will be the same as the CD Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no
preceding Interest Reset Period, the Initial Interest
Rate).
Determination of Commercial Paper
Rate
If the Base Rate shown on the face hereof or in
the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith is the
Commercial Paper Rate, this Note will bear interest for each
Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with
reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread or Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof or in the pricing
supplement attached hereto or delivered herewith. The
“Commercial Paper Rate” for each Interest Reset Period
will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second
Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for such Interest
Reset Period (a “Commercial Paper Rate Determination
Date”) and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined below)
on such Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of the rate for
commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof or in the pricing supplement attached hereto or delivered
herewith, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the
caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” In
the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined above), then
the Commercial Paper Rate for such Interest Reset Period shall be
the Money Market Yield on such Commercial Paper Rate Determination
Date of the rate for commercial paper of the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached
hereto or delivered herewith as published in the H.15 Daily Update,
or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial
Paper-Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published
in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then the
“Commercial Paper Rate” for such Interest Reset Period
shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the
offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of three leading dealers
of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement attached
hereto or delivered herewith placed for an industrial issuer whose
bonds are rated “AA” or the equivalent by a nationally
recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the
dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the
“Commercial Paper Rate” for such Interest Reset Period
will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately
preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no preceding
Interest Reset Period, the Initial Interest Rate).
“Money Market Yield” shall be the
yield calculated in accordance with the following
formula:
