For purposes of the determination of the redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Business Day” means any day that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the available Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date.

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Company.

 


 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means two primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York City, New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), which shall include Banc of America Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute for it another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes to be redeemed, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date.
