Maximum and Minimum Limits on Interest Rates.  Any Floating Rate Note and the applicable Pricing Supplement may specify either or both a maximum limit and a minimum limit on the rate at which interest may accrue during any Interest Accrual Period. In addition to any maximum interest rate which may be applicable to any Floating Rate Note, the interest rate on Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general

application.  This limit may not apply to Floating Rate Notes in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested.

 

(vi) Initial Interest Rate; Interest Rate Thereafter in Effect.  The interest rate in effect with respect to a Floating Rate Note on each day that is not an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date and the interest rate in effect on any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to such Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to applicable provisions of law and any maximum or minimum interest rate limitations referred to above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect with respect to a Floating Rate Note for the period from the date of original issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the rate specified as such therein and in the applicable Pricing Supplement (the “Initial Interest Rate”).

 

(vii)  Accrued Interest; Accrued Interest Factor.  With respect to each Floating Rate Note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying its face amount by an accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of issue, or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated.  The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of Commercial Paper Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes, CD Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, Prime Rate Notes J.J. Kenny Rate Notes, Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Notes and EURIBOR Notes and by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of Treasury Rate Notes and CMT Rate Notes. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest factor for Notes for which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Base Rates will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the lowest of the applicable Base Rates specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement applied.

(viii) Rounding of Percentages.  All percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) will be rounded upward to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent, or in the case of a foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upward).

 

(ix) Calculation Agents; Calculation Date.  Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Pricing Supplement, the Trustee will be the “Calculation Agent” with respect to all Floating Rate Notes.  Upon the request of the holder of any Floating Rate Note, the Trustee will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note.  If at any time the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent, the Company will notify the Trustee of each determination of the interest rate applicable to any such Floating Rate Note promptly after such determination is made by any successor Calculation Agent.  The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date is the date by which the applicable interest rate must be calculated and will be the earlier of (a) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (b) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.
