such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which

to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. Any
such designation for wire transfer purposes shall be made by filing
the appropriate information with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office in The City of New York not less than fifteen calendar days
prior to the applicable payment date and, unless revoked by written
notice to the Trustee received on or prior to the Regular Record
Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date,
shall remain in effect with respect to any further interest
payments (other than interest payments due at Maturity or on the
Remarketing Date) with respect to this Security payable to such
Holder. Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on this Security, as aforesaid, shall be made in

time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts.

defined), payment of the amounts due on this Security on such date
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and, if such

the Notes will bear interest at the New Coupon Rate determined by

Dealer, if the Remarketing Dealer purchases this Security, or (b)
the Company, pursuant to either optional or mandatory repurchase of
this Note by the Company.

New Coupon Rate.

Trustee must contain the requisite delivery details, including the
identity of the Remarketing Dealer’s account with The

Remarketing Notification, and terminate its obligation to remarket
the Notes, by giving notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee
