 EXHIBIT A 

[FORM OF FACE OF INITIAL NOTE] 

[Global Notes Legend] 
 Unless
this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), New York, New York, to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co., or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC) any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 

Transfers of this Global Note shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor thereof or such
successor’s nominee and transfers of portions of this Global Note shall be limited to transfers made in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the indenture referred to on the reverse hereof. 

[[For Regulation S Global Note only] Until 40 days after the later of commencement or completion of the offering, an offer or sale of notes
within the United States by a dealer (as defined in the Securities Act) may violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A thereunder.] 

[Restricted Notes Legend for Notes Offered Otherwise than in Reliance 

on Regulation S] 
 This note
(or its predecessor) was originally issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and this note may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the
absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. Each purchaser of this note is hereby notified that the seller of this note may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144A thereunder. 
 The holder of this note agrees for the benefit of the issuer that (a) this note may be offered,
resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, only (i) to the issuer, (ii) within the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a
transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act that, prior to such
transfer, furnishes the trustee a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the transfer of this note (the form of which can be obtained from the trustee) and, if such transfer is in respect of an aggregate
principal 







 
amount of notes less than $250,000, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the issuer that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (iv) outside the United States in an offshore
transaction in accordance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States, and (b) the holder will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any
purchaser of this note from it of the resale restrictions referred to in (a) above. 
 [Restricted Notes Legend for Notes Offered in
Reliance on Regulation S.] 
 This note (or its predecessor) was originally issued in a transaction originally exempt from registration
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be transferred in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person except pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. Terms used above have the meanings given to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act. 

[Temporary Regulation S Global Note Legend] 

Except as set forth below, beneficial ownership interests in this Temporary Regulation S Global Note will not be exchangeable for
interests in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note or any other note representing an interest in the notes represented hereby which do not contain a legend containing restrictions on transfer, until the expiration of the “40-day distribution compliance period” (within the meaning of Rule 903(b)(2) of Regulation S under the Securities Act) and then only upon certification to the trustee that such beneficial interests
are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act. During such
40-day distribution compliance period, beneficial ownership interests in this Temporary Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred (i) to the Issuer, (ii) outside the
United States in a transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (iii) in accordance
with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Holders of interests in this Temporary Regulation S Global Note will notify any purchaser of this note of the resale restrictions referred to above, if then applicable.

 After the expiration of the distribution compliance period, beneficial interests in this Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be
exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note only if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the notes in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the
trustee a written certificate (in the form attached to this certificate) to the effect that the Regulation S Global Note is being transferred (a) to a person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a qualified institutional buyer within
the meaning of Rule 144A, (b) to a person who is purchasing for its own account or the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities
laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. 

  
 2 








 After the expiration of the distribution compliance period, beneficial interests in this
Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for interests in an IAI Global Note only if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the notes in compliance with an exemption under the Securities Act and (2) the
transferor of the Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form attached to this certificate) to the effect that the Regulation S Global Note is being transferred (a) to an institutional
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) under the Securities Act that, prior to such transfer, furnishes the trustee a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the
transfer of this note (the form of which can be obtained from the trustee) and, if such transfer is in respect of an aggregate principal amount of notes less than $250,000, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Issuer that such transfer is in
compliance with the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. 

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the 40-day distribution compliance period, only if the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the
form attached to this certificate) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 

[Definitive Notes Legend] 

In connection with any transfer, the holder will deliver to the
registrar and transfer agent such certificates and other information as such transfer agent may reasonably require to
confirm that the transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE] 

10.375% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes Due 2022 
  

	1.	Interest 

 Hexion Inc., a New Jersey corporation (such Person, and its successors and
assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer” or “Hexion”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum of 10.375%. The Issuer will pay interest
semiannually in arrears to the holders of record of the Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer will pay interest on overdue
principal at the rate borne by this Note plus 1.00% per annum, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment 

 The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest)
to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in
respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a
certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar
account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days
immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 
  

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar 

 Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association (the
“Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. Hexion or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly
Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture 

 The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 8,
2017 (as supplemented to the date hereof, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of the Notes are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. 







 The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuer and consist of (i) $485,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 10.375% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 issued on February 8, 2017, (ii) $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.375% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2022 issued on May 12, 2017 as Additional
Notes under the Indenture, and (iii) any Additional Notes that may be issued after May 12, 2017. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets to secure indebtedness; transfer or sell assets; guarantee indebtedness;
restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; and engage in sale/leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications contained
in the Indenture. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption 

 Except as set forth below, the Issuer shall not be entitled to
redeem the Notes. 
 On and after February 1, 2019, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem all
or a portion of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, to each Holder’s
registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on February 1 of the years set forth below: 

 

					
	 Period
	  	Redemption
Price	 
		
	 2019
	  	 	105.188	% 
	 2020
	  	 	102.594	% 
	 2021 and thereafter
	  	 	100.000	% 

 In addition, prior to February 1, 2019, the Issuer may redeem Notes at its option, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 







 Upon the occurrence of Change of Control, the Issuer shall (i)(A) make an offer within 30 days
following such Change of Control to all holders of the Notes to purchase all the Notes properly tendered (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); and (B) purchase all the
Notes properly tendered in accordance with the Change of Control Offer or (ii) exercise its right, within 30 days following such Change of Control, to redeem all the Notes as described under this paragraph 5. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to February 1, 2019, the Issuer shall upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
prior notice mailed by first-class mail, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, to each Holder’s registered address, be entitled at their option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any)
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) in an aggregate amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by
Hexion or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of Hexion, in each case, to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of Hexion or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of
Hexion from it, at a redemption price of 110.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date), with the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (1) by Hexion or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of Hexion, in each case, to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the
common equity capital of Hexion or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Hexion from it; provided, however, that (1) at least 50% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional
Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (2) each such redemption occurs within 180 days after the consummation of the related Equity Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. 
 If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchase all of the
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the holders (with a copy to the Trustee), given not more than 30
days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment. Any such redemption shall be effected pursuant to
paragraph 5 of this Note. 
 Notice of any redemption upon any corporate transaction or other event (including any Equity Offering,
incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction) may be given prior to the completion thereof. In addition, any redemption described above or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction or other event. 








	6.	Notice of Redemption 

 Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail, or sent
electronically if held by the Depository, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before
the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption. 

 

	7.	Put Provisions 

 Upon a Change of Control the Issuer must (i)(A) make an offer within 30
days following such Change of Control to all holders of the Notes to purchase all the Notes properly tendered (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); and
(B) purchase all the Notes properly tendered in accordance with the Change of Control Offer or (ii) exercise its right, within 30 days following such Change of Control, to redeem all the Notes as described under paragraph 5 of this Note.

  

	8.	Guarantee 

 The payment by the Issuer of the principal of, and premium and interest on,
the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture. 
  

	9.	Security 

 The Notes will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Senior Intercreditor Agreements, the Junior Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, such security interest to be pari passu in priority to security interests granted for the
benefit of holders of other First Priority Lien Obligations. The First Lien Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders pursuant to, and subject to, the Security Documents and the Senior
Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements in effect or as they may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the First Lien Collateral Agent to enter
into a Collateral Agreement Supplement, the Additional Secured Party Consent, any other Security Documents and the Fifth Joinder and Supplement to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights
thereunder in accordance therewith. 








	10.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

 The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer
documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion
of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date. 
  

	11.	Persons Deemed Owners 

 The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes. 
  

	12.	Unclaimed Money 

 If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to
the Trustee for payment. 
  

	13.	Discharge and Defeasance 

 Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the
Issuer at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of their and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or, in certain cases, U.S. Government Obligations for the
payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be. 
  

	14.	Amendment, Waiver 

 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture and the
First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (a) the Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements and the related Security Documents may be amended with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and (b) any past default or compliance with any
provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). 

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the
First Lien Collateral Agent may amend the Indenture, the Notes, any Security Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements to: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission,
defect, mistake or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided, however, that the uncertificated Notes
are issued in registered form for purposes of 







 
Section 163(f) of the Code); (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (v) to add additional secured creditors holding Junior Priority Obligations or other First Priority Lien
Obligations or ABL Obligations, in each case so long as such obligations are not prohibited by the Indenture; (vi) to add to the covenants of Hexion or any Restricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or
power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; (vii) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA (if the Issuer elects to qualify the Indenture under the TIA); (viii) to make
any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder; (ix) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Priority
Intercreditor Agreements, to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Circular to the extent that such provision in such “Description of the Notes” was intended by the Issuer to be a verbatim recitation of
a provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements, as stated in an Officers’ Certificate; (x) to make
certain changes to the Indenture to provide for the issuance of additional notes; (xi) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of notes; provided, however, that
(a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the
rights of holders to transfer notes; (xii) to secure the Notes or to add additional assets as Collateral; or (xiii) to release Collateral from the Lien pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements when permitted or required by the Indenture or the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the
Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreements. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies 

 Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default
for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; (b) default in payment of principal on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, upon acceleration or otherwise, or the failure by the Issuer to
redeem or purchase Notes when required; (c) failure by the Issuer or certain Subsidiaries to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations
(including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Issuer if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; (e) certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Significant Subsidiaries; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which
are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days; (g) certain defaults with respect to Guarantees; and (h) certain defaults relating to
the Collateral under the Security Documents. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all such Notes to be due and payable immediately, subject to
certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 







 Noteholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Noteholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders. 

 

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Issuer 

 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the
Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or
its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	17.	No Recourse Against Others 

 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of
the Issuer or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation; provided, however,
the foregoing will not affect or limit any liability of any Guarantor under the Indenture or its Guarantee. By accepting a Note, each Noteholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issue of the Notes. 
  

	18.	Authentication 

 This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 
  

	19.	Abbreviations 

 Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an
assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 

 

	20.	CUSIP Numbers 

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
