The notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors under Section 4(a)(2) exemption from Securities Act registration. The filing includes the form of Commercial Paper Dealer Agreement as Exhibit 10.1, detailing the terms and conditions for dealers participating in the program.
