Notes tendered in the Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time at or before 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on October 4, 2012 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, with respect to either or both Series of Notes, the "Withdrawal Date"), but not thereafter.  Any Notes tendered on or before the Withdrawal Date that are not validly withdrawn before the Withdrawal Date may not be withdrawn thereafter, and any Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Date may not be withdrawn, unless in either case the Offerors are required by applicable law to permit the withdrawal or the Offerors elect to allow such withdrawal.

The "Full Tender Offer Consideration" per US$1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread specified in the table above over the yield based on the bid side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above, as calculated by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at 2:00 P.M., New York City time on October 5, 2012.  The Early Tender Payment is included in the calculation of the Full Tender Offer Consideration and is not in addition to the Full Tender Offer Consideration.  Tendering holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes up to, but excluding, the date of payment of the consideration for Notes accepted for purchase.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, the date of payment is expected to follow promptly after the Expiration Date.

The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered, but is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Offerors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to waive any and all conditions to the Offer.  The aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in the Offer will be based on the acceptance priority level for such series as set forth in the table above and subject to proration and other terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
