The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

(a)    the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or

(b)    if the Independent Investment Banker is unable to obtain at least four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Independent Investment Banker.

“Independent Investment Banker” means RBC Capital Markets, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC as specified by the Company, or if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue or average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption.
