Accrual of Interest: Accrued interest from the Original

This accrued Interest Factor will be computed by
adding the Interest Factors calculated for each day
from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for up
to the day for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The "Interest Factor" for any Note for
each such day will be computed by dividing the

otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day,
the payment of principal and interest will be made on
the first following day that is a Business Day as if
it were made on the date such payment was due, and no
interest on such payment will accrue for the period
from and after the Maturity Date.
Interest payments will include the amount of interest
accrued from and including the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid (or from

The Underwriter has advised the Corporation that it
proposes to offer the Notes for sale from time to

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The Underwriter may effect such

liquidity of the trading market for the Notes.
The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the
Underwriter against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
