(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations
for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain those prices on that Business
Day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained.
