The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of purchases of Notes through any Agent, as agent, commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions from the Company, such Agent will forthwith suspend solicitation of purchases from the Company until such time as the Company has advised such Agent that such solicitation may be resumed. The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, in the form of a discount, equal to the applicable percentage of the principal amount of each Note sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent as set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Agents may allow any portion of the commission payable pursuant hereto to dealers or purchasers in connection with the offer and sale of any Notes. The purchase price, interest rate, maturity date and other terms of the Notes shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Agents and set forth in a pricing supplement to the Prospectus to be prepared following each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes. Except as may be otherwise provided in such supplement to the Prospectus, the Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. All Notes sold through any Agent as agent will be sold at 100% of their principal amount unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and such Agent.
