EXHIBIT 10.2

AMENDMENT NO. 3 dated as of April 8, 2022 (this “Amendment”), to the FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of October 15, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and as amended by this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among GANNETT CO., INC., a Delaware corporation, GANNETT HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the GUARANTORS from time to time party thereto, the LENDERS from time to time party thereto and CITIBANK, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”).  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
WHEREAS pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the New Term Lenders (as defined below) have agreed to exchange Senior Secured Notes held by such New Term Lenders in an aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “Exchanged Senior Secured Notes”) for Term Loans pursuant to an Exchange Agreement to be dated as of the date hereof (the “Exchange Agreement”), among the Borrower and the New Term Lenders (the foregoing, the “Senior Secured Notes Exchange”); 
WHEREAS in order to effect the Senior Secured Notes Exchange, the Borrower intends to incur Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $7,500,000 (the “New Term Loans”), which New Term Loans shall, on the Amendment Closing Date (as defined below), become part of the same Class of Loans as the Term Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Amendment Closing Date (the “Existing Term Loans”);
WHEREAS the Borrower has requested that the financial institutions set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “New Term Lenders”) commit to make the New Term Loans on the Amendment Closing Date (the commitment of each New Term Lender to provide its applicable portion of the New Term Loans, as set forth opposite such New Term Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto, is such New Term Lender’s “New Term Commitment”), it being understood that the New Term Loans will not be funded by the New Term Lenders in cash but, rather, shall be exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the Exchanged Senior Secured Notes; and
WHEREAS the New Term Lenders are willing to make the New Term Loans to the Borrower on the Amendment Closing Date on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.  New Term Loans.
(a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, each New Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make on a cashless basis, on the Amendment Closing Date, a New Term Loan to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to its New Term Commitment.  The New Term Loans shall be exchanged for the Exchanged Senior Secured Notes on the Amendment Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The New Term Commitment of each New Term Lender shall automatically terminate upon the making of the New Term Loans and the consummation of the Senior Secured 
1

Notes Exchange on the Amendment Closing Date.  The transactions contemplated by this Section 1(a) are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.
(b)  Immediately upon the consummation of the Transactions, each reference to the terms “Term Loan Lender” and “Lender” in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to include the New Term Lenders.
(c)  On and after the Amendment Closing Date, all Existing Term Loans and all New Term Loans shall constitute the same Class of Loans for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, which Class of Loans is designated “Term Loans” in the Credit Agreement; and for the avoidance of doubt, shall have the same terms, including, without limitation, as to guarantees, security, maturity and interest.
(d)  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of the making of the New Term Loans on the Amendment Closing Date, all such New Term Loans are included in each Borrowing of Existing Term Loans on a pro rata basis. 
(e)  For the avoidance of doubt, the initial Interest Period for the New Term Loans shall be the same as the Interest Period for the Existing Term Loans (i.e., a one-month Adjusted Term SOFR Interest Period ending on April 30, 2022). The New Term Loans shall be fungible with the Existing Term Loans.
SECTION 1.  Amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement. Pursuant to an in accordance with Section 12.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective as of the Amendment Closing Date, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(ii)““Third Amendment Closing Date” means the date on which the Third Amendment becomes effective in accordance with its terms, which, for the avoidance of doubt, is April 8, 2022.”
(g)  Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the following definitions as follows:
(i)““Amortization Installment Amount” means, for any repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a) for any Fiscal Quarter, (a) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter pursuant to the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate, is greater than 1.20 to 1.00, (i) for any Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the Second Amendment Closing Date, 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) for any Fiscal Quarter ending on or after the Second Amendment Closing Date, but prior to the Third Amendment Closing Date, $14,889,933.86, and (iii) for any Fiscal Quarter ending on or after the Third Amendment Closing Date, $15,112,690.78 and (b) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter pursuant to the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate, is equal to or less than 1.20 to 1.00, (i) for any Fiscal 
2

Quarter ending prior to the Second Amendment Closing Date, 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) for any Fiscal Quarter ending on or after the Second Amendment Closing Date but prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, $7,444,966.93, and (iii) for any Fiscal Quarter ending on or after the Third Amendment Closing Date, $7,556,345.39.”

It is understood and agreed that all terms loans made by the Term Loan Lenders to the Borrower on the First Amendment Closing Date pursuant to the First Amendment and, the Second Amendment Closing Date pursuant to the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment Closing Date pursuant to the Third Amendment shall, from an after such date, be “Term Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement.”

​
NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of August 2, 2022 (this “Ninth Supplemental Indenture”), by and between EDISON INTERNATIONAL, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the “Corporation” or the “Issuer”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association, as Trustee under the Base Indenture (as hereinafter defined) (the “Trustee”).
RECITALS OF THE CORPORATION
A.The Corporation and the Trustee are parties to that certain Senior Indenture, dated as of September 10, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”) providing for the issuance by the Corporation of an unlimited number of series of Securities (as defined in the Base Indenture) from time to time.
B.Under the Base Indenture, the Corporation is authorized to establish one or more series of Securities at any time in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Base Indenture, and the terms of such series of Securities may be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the Corporation and the Trustee.
C.The execution and delivery of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture has been authorized by a Board Resolution (as defined in the Base Indenture).
D.Concurrent with the execution hereof, the Corporation has caused its counsel to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as defined in the Base Indenture) pursuant to Section 102 of the Base Indenture.
E.The Corporation has done all things necessary to make this Ninth Supplemental Indenture a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Corporation, in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Trustee agree, for the benefit of each other and for the equal and proportionate benefit of Holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes (as defined below) with respect to all provisions herein applicable to such series of notes, as follows:
ARTICLE I​
​
DEFINITIONS
Section 101.Definitions. 
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Base Indenture. The following additional terms are hereby established for purposes of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture and shall have the meanings set forth in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture only for purposes of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture:
​

1

​

“4.70% Senior Notes” has the meaning specified in Section 201.
​
"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
“Maturity Date” has the meaning specified in Section 205.
​
“Redemption Price” has the meaning set forth in Section 301 hereto.
​
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the notes being redeemed (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the notes being redeemed. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of such notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity and one with a maturity date following the maturity, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the 

2

​

notes being redeemed or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
The words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Ninth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.
ARTICLE II​
​
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 4.70% SENIOR NOTES
​
Section 201.Establishment and Designation of the 4.70% Senior Notes. 
Pursuant to the terms hereof and Section 301 of the Base Indenture, the Corporation hereby establishes a series of Securities designated as the “4.70% Senior Notes due 2025” (the “4.70% Senior Notes”).  The 4.70% Senior Notes series may be reopened, from time to time, for issuances of additional Securities of such series, and any additional Securities issued and comprising 4.70% Senior Notes shall have identical terms as the 4.70% Senior Notes, except that the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first Interest Payment Date may differ.
Section 202.Form of the 4.70% Senior Notes.

The 4.70% Senior Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 4.70% per annum and shall have a Stated Maturity of August 15, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).  Interest on the 4.70% Senior Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; provided that for any

The initial depositary for any such Global Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).  For so long as DTC serves as the Depositary with respect to any such Global Securities, such Global Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), 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.
Section 210.Regular Record Date. 
With respect to each Interest Payment Date, the Regular Record Date for the 4.70% Senior Notes shall be February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

The Redemption Price for the 4.70% Senior Notes to be redeemed at any time and from time to time, will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the senior notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points in the case of the 4.70% Senior Notes, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and 
 (2)100% of the principal amount of the senior notes to be redeemed;
​
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.  
​
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 4.70% Senior Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the 4.70% Senior Notes and the Base Indenture.  The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Section 302.Calculation of Redemption Price.

5

​

ARTICLE IV​
​
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 401.Sanctions.
The Company covenants and represents that neither they nor any of their subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any directors or officers are currently subject to any sanctions enforced by the US Government, (including, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”)). 
The Company covenants and represents that neither they nor any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any directors or officers will directly or indirectly use any part of the proceeds received in connection with the Supplemental Indenture or any other of the transaction documents, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
Section 402.Electronic Communications.
The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer.  The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written 

6

​

instruction.  The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
Section 403.Application of Ninth Supplemental Indenture. 
Except as provided herein, each and every term and condition contained in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture that modifies, amends or supplements the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture shall apply only to 4.70% Senior Notes established hereby and not to any other series of Securities established or to be established under the Base Indenture.  Except as specifically amended and supplemented by, or to the extent inconsistent with, this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
Section 404.Effective Date of Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

Edison International, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (herein called the “Corporation,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to____________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of ___________________ ($__________) on August 15, 2025, and to pay accrued but unpaid interest thereon on each February15 and August15 (commencing February15, 2023) (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest shall accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid from August 4, 2022 to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or other date of payment for which accrued interest is paid, at the rate of 

A-1

​

4.70% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.  Interest on the Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months provided that for any partial 30-day month interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days over a 30-day month.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Corporation payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

Form of Reverse of Security
​
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Corporation (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of September 10, 2010 (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument and shall include the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2022), between the Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Securities are redeemable at the option of the Corporation (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part at any time at the price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) set forth below (the “Redemption Price”).
The Redemption Price for the 4.70% Senior Notes to be redeemed at any time and from time to time, will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:
		(1)	(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and
​

		(2)	100% of the principal amount of the 4.70% Senior Notes to be redeemed;

​
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.
​
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes, the yield determined by the Corporation in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Corporation after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Corporation shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the 

A-4
​

​

notes being redeemed (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Corporation shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the notes being redeemed. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of such notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity and one with a maturity date following the maturity, the Corporation shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the notes being redeemed or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the Securities and the Indenture.  The Redemption Price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

A-5
​

​

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed at the Holder’s
registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Securities being redeemed.  If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Securities or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest.
Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the securities of all series affected under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected thereby (voting as one class).  The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of the securities of all such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to all such series and its consequences.  The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to 
​

A-6
​

​

the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The Indenture and the Securities issued thereby shall be governed by and construed accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
