Survivor's Option to Request Repayment
Fol owing the death of the beneficial owner of a note, so long as that note was owned by that beneficial owner or the estate of that beneficial owner for
at least six months prior to the request, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of that note (subject to the limitations
described below), we agree to redeem any notes prior to the stated maturity unless the notes:

·
have been previously redeemed or otherwise repaid, or

·
have been declared due and payable before their stated maturity by reason of an event of default under the 2008 Indenture, as more ful y
described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default".
Upon the valid exercise of the option to request repayment described in the preceding paragraph (Survivor's Option) and the proper tender of that note
for repayment (subject to the limitations described below), we wil redeem that note, in whole or in part (but in amounts of not less than $1,000), at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note plus any unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of repayment.
Incapital LLC has advised that it intends to make a market in the notes. Depending on market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and our
creditworthiness, the value of the notes may be greater than their principal amount plus any unpaid interest accrued. Accordingly, the authorized
representative should contact Incapital LLC to determine the market price of the notes and should otherwise carefully consider whether to
sell the notes to Incapital LLC or another market participant rather than redeeming the notes at the principal amount plus accrued interest
pursuant to a request for redemption.
To be valid, the Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has:

·
authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the note, including, without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the
deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner, under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, and

·
the right to sel , transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a note and the right to receive the proceeds from the note, as wel as the principal
and interest payable to the holder of the note.
The fol owing wil be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of a note, and the entire principal amount of the note so held wil be subject to redemption
by us upon request (with the limitations described below):

·
death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, a tenant in
common with the deceased holder's spouse or a tenant in common with a person other than such deceased person's spouse;

Table of Contents
·
death of a person who at the time of his or her death was a beneficiary of a revocable or irrevocable trust that holds a beneficial ownership
interest in a note may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that note, if such beneficial trust interest can
be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee; and

·
death of a person who, at the time of his or her death, was entitled to substantial y all of the beneficial ownership interests in a note regardless of
whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that note, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of us
and the Trustee.
In addition, a beneficial ownership interest wil be deemed to exist:

·
in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property
or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife; and

·
in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable note at the time of his or her
death.
We have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor's Option shal be accepted by us
from authorized representatives:

·
of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to 2% of the principal amount of all outstanding notes offered of a
tranche as of the end of the most recent calendar year (two percent aggregate limitation); and

·
of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes to $250,000 in any calendar year ($250,000 limitation).
In addition, we wil not permit the exercise of the Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof.
We may, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of any deceased beneficial owner in the notes of a
tranche in any calendar year in excess of the $250,000 limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the $250,000
limitation for any deceased beneficial owner, wil not be included in the computation of the two percent aggregate limitation for redemption of the notes
of a tranche for that or any other calendar year.
We may also, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of deceased beneficial owners in the notes of a
tranche in any calendar year in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the two percent aggregate limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this
kind, to the extent it exceeds the two percent aggregate limitation, wil not be considered in calculating the two percent aggregate limitation for any
other calendar year.
Furthermore, any optional redemption with respect to a deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes is inapplicable with respect to any other
deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes. In other words, we may waive any applicable limitations with respect to a deceased beneficial owner
but not make the same or similar waivers with respect to other deceased beneficial owners.
Each election to exercise the Survivor's Option wil be accepted in the order that elections are received by the Trustee, except for any note the
acceptance of which would contravene either the two percent aggregate limitation or the $250,000 limitation. Upon any determination by us to redeem
notes in excess of the $250,000 limitation or the two percent aggregate limitation, notes wil be redeemed in the order of receipt of redemption
requests by the Trustee. Each tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of either the two percent aggregate
limitation or the $250,000 limitation wil be deemed to be tendered in the fol owing calendar year in the order in which al such notes were originally
tendered.
Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor's Option wil be redeemed on the earlier of the June 15th or December 15th interest
payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. For example, if the acceptance date of a note tendered through
a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is December 1, 2014, and interest on that note is paid monthly on the 15th of every month, we would normal y,
at our option, repay that note on the interest payment date occurring on June 15, 2015, because the December 15, 2014 interest payment date would
occur less than 60 days from the date of acceptance. Any redemption request may be withdrawn by the person(s)

presenting the request upon delivery of a written request for withdrawal given by the participant on behalf of the person(s) to the Trustee not less than
30 days before the redemption date. If a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee will deliver a
notice by first-class mail to the participant through whom the note was tendered that states the reason that note has not been accepted for redemption.
With respect to notes represented by a master global note (such as these notes), DTC or its nominee is the depositary and is treated as the holder of
the notes and the institution that has an account with the depositary of the notes is referred to as the "participant".
To obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option for a note, the deceased beneficial owner's authorized representative must provide
the fol owing items to the participant in DTC through which the beneficial interest in the note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:

·
a written request for redemption signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a
member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) or a commercial bank or
trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States and a written instruction to notify the Trustee of the authorized
representative's desire to obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option;

·
appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee:

(a)
that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the note at the time of death and his or her interest in the note was owned by the deceased

beneficial owner or his or her estate for at least six months prior to the request for redemption,

(b)
that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred,

(c)
of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and

(d)
that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;

·
if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

·
tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that we or the Trustee reasonably require in order to establish the validity of the beneficial
ownership of the note and the claimant's entitlement to payment;

·
any additional information we or the Trustee reasonably require to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor's Option
or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the redemption of the note; and

·
if the interest in the note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the nominee
attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of such note.
After the representative provides the information to the participant, the participant wil then deliver each of these items to the Trustee, and to Goldman,
Sachs & Co. in its capacity as administrator of the Survivor's Option on our behalf, together with evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee from the
participant stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. The participant wil then need to deliver to the Trustee a request for redemption
substantial y in the form attached as Appendix A to this pricing supplement.
Al questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's Option wil be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which
determination wil be final and binding on all parties.
Subject to arrangements with the depositary, payment for interests in the notes to be redeemed wil be made to the depositary in the aggregate
principal amount specified in the redemption requests submitted to the Trustee by the depositary that are to be fulfil ed in connection with the payment
upon presentation of the notes to the Trustee for redemption.

Additional Disclosure About Our Relationship with the Trustee
The Bank of New York Mel on is initial y serving as trustee for the indenture under which the notes are being issued. Affiliates of the trustee have
underwritten our securities from time to time in the past and may underwrite our securities from time to time in the future. The trustee may have to
resign if a default occurs with respect to the notes within one year after any offering of our securities underwritten by an affiliate of the trustee, such as
BNY Mel on Capital Markets, LLC, since the trustee would likely be considered to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939. In that event, except in very limited circumstances, the trustee would be required to resign as trustee under the indenture under which the notes
are being issued and we would be required to appoint a successor trustee, unless the default is cured or waived within 90 days. In addition, the trustee
can resign for any reason with 60 days notice, and we would be required to appoint a successor trustee. If the trustee resigns fol owing a default or for
any other reason, it may be difficult to identify and appoint a qualified successor trustee. The trustee wil remain the trustee under the indenture until a
successor is appointed. During the period of time until a successor is appointed, the trustee wil have both (a) duties to noteholders under the indenture
and (b) a conflicting interest under the indenture for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. In the accompanying prospectus dated September 19, 2011
under "Our Relationship with the Trustee," we describe certain other circumstances in which the trustee may have to resign due to a conflict of interest.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
Please see the discussion under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Final
regulations released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on January 17, 2013 state that Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding
(as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account Tax Compliance" in the accompanying prospectus) will
general y not apply to obligations that are issued prior to January 1, 2014; therefore, the notes wil not be subject to FATCA withholding.
