RISK FACTORS

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks. You should carefully consider and evaluate the following risk factors and the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the business and industry risk factors and the political, regulatory and economic risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. These risks are not intended as, and should not be construed as, an exhaustive list of relevant risk factors. There may be other risks that a prospective investor should consider that are relevant to the investor’s own particular circumstances or to investors generally. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are unsophisticated with respect to the significant components and their relationships.

Structure Risks of Notes Indexed to Interest Rates, Currencies or Other Indices or Formulas

If you invest in notes indexed to one or more interest rates, currencies or other indices or formulas, there will be significant risks not associated with a conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt security. These risks include fluctuation of the indices or formulas that may cause you to receive a lower, or no, amount of principal, premium or interest and to receive these amounts at different times than you expected. We have no control over a number of matters, including economic, financial and political events, that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their results. In addition, if an index or formula used to determine any amounts payable in respect of the notes contains a multiplier or leverage factor, the effect of any change in that index or formula will be magnified. In recent years, values of certain indices and formulas have been volatile and volatility in those and other indices and formulas may be expected in the future. However, past experience is not necessarily indicative of what may occur in the future.

Foreign Currency Risks

If you invest in notes that are denominated or provide for payments in a currency other than United States dollars, there will be significant risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a debt security denominated in United States dollars. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the specified currency and the possibility of the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls by either the United States or foreign governments. We have no control over these risks, which depend on economic, financial and political events and the supply and demand for the relevant currencies. In addition, if the formula used to determine any amount payable with respect to foreign currency notes contains a multiplier or leverage factor, the effect of any change in the relevant currencies will be magnified. At times, rates of exchange between the United States dollar and certain foreign currencies have been highly volatile and such volatility may be expected to occur in the future. However, past experience in the fluctuation of exchange rates is not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rates that may occur during the term of any foreign currency note.

Governments may impose or revise exchange controls which could affect the availability of the specified currency at the maturity of a foreign currency note. Even if there are no exchange controls, it is possible that the specified currency for any particular foreign currency note would not be available on any interest payment date or at maturity due to other circumstances beyond our control. In that event, we will pay any amounts due under the note in United States dollars based on the most recently available exchange rate.

Redemption May Adversely Affect Your Return on the Notes

If your notes are redeemable at our option or are otherwise subject to mandatory redemption, we may, in the case of optional redemption, or must, in the case of mandatory redemption, choose to redeem your notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. As a result, you generally will not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the notes.

There May Not Be Any Trading Market for Your Notes; Many Factors Affect the Trading Value of Your Notes

We cannot assure you a trading market for your notes will ever develop or be maintained. Many factors independent of our creditworthiness may affect the trading market for your notes. These factors include:

 

    the complexity and volatility of the index or formula applicable to the notes,

 

    the method of calculating the principal, premium and interest in respect of the notes,

 

    the time remaining to the maturity of the notes,

 

    the outstanding amount of the notes,

 

    the redemption features of the notes,

 

    the amount of other securities linked to the index or formula applicable to the notes,

 

    the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally, and

 

    the degree of credit market liquidity generally.

In addition, because some notes were designed for specific investment objectives or strategies, these notes may have a more limited trading market and may experience more price volatility. There may be a limited number of buyers for these notes. This may affect the price you receive for these notes or your ability to sell these notes at all. You should not purchase notes unless you understand the investment risks and know you can bear them.

The Credit Rating May Not Reflect All Risks of an Investment in the Notes

The credit rating of the notes is an assessment of our ability to pay the notes. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of your notes. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors discussed above on the value of your notes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The Medium-Term Notes, Series O (the “notes”) will be issued as a single series of debt securities under an indenture, dated as of November 20, 2009, between PFC and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The term “senior debt securities,” as used in this prospectus supplement, refers to all securities issued and issuable from time to time under the Indenture and includes the notes. The senior debt securities and the Indenture are more fully described in the accompanying prospectus. The following summary of the material provisions of the notes and of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.

Please refer to the discussion under “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of certain United States Federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of senior debt securities, including the notes. In addition, please refer to the applicable pricing supplement which may contain additional discussions of certain United States Federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

The following description of notes will apply unless otherwise specified in an applicable pricing supplement.

Terms of the Notes

All senior debt securities, including the notes, issued and to be issued under the Indenture will be unsecured general obligations of PFC and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of PFC from time to time outstanding. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $6.03 billion of senior indebtedness issued and outstanding. The notes will rank junior to secured indebtedness to the extent of related collateral. We currently do not have any secured indebtedness outstanding.

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of senior debt securities or the amount of notes which PFC may issue. PFC may issue an unlimited amount of notes, as authorized by our Board of Directors from time to time. PFC may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, provide for the issuance of other senior debt securities under the Indenture in addition to the notes offered by this prospectus supplement.

The notes will be offered on a continuing basis and will mature on a day nine months or more from the date of issue, as selected by the purchaser and agreed to by PFC. Interest-bearing notes will bear interest at either fixed or floating rates as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Notes may be issued at significant discounts from their principal amount payable at stated maturity, or on any date before the stated maturity date on which the principal or an installment of principal of a note becomes due and payable, whether by the declaration of acceleration, call for redemption at the option of PFC, repayment at the option of the holder or otherwise (the stated maturity date or such prior date, as the case may be, is referred to as, a “Maturity”). Some notes may not bear interest.

Unless otherwise indicated in a note and in the applicable pricing supplement, the notes will be denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on such notes will be made in, United States dollars. PFC may also issue notes (“foreign currency notes”) that are denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on such notes will be made in, a currency other than United States dollars (a “specified currency”). The terms of and any considerations relating to any foreign currency notes will be described in the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement. See “Special Provisions Relating to Foreign Currency Notes.”

The terms of the notes provide that PFC may at any time, including more than one year prior to the stated maturity of the notes, be discharged from its obligations on the notes by providing for payment when due of the principal of, and interest on, the notes and by satisfying certain other conditions, all as described under “Description of Securities—Provisions of the Indenture—Satisfaction and Discharge” in the accompanying prospectus.

Until the notes are paid or payment of the notes is provided for, PFC will, at all times maintain a paying agent in The City of New York capable of performing the duties described in this prospectus supplement to be

performed by the paying agent. PFC initially has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as paying agent, acting through its corporate trust office at 101 Barclay Street, 7 West, New York, New York 10286. The notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange at the corporate trust office of the paying agent, provided that notes in book-entry form will be exchangeable only in the manner and to the extent set forth under “Description of Securities—Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. PFC will notify the holders of the notes in accordance with the Indenture of any change in the paying agent or its address. There will be no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but PFC may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any transfer or exchange, other than exchanges pursuant to the Indenture not involving any transfer.

Interest rates, interest rate formulae and other variable terms of the notes are subject to change by PFC from time to time, but no change will affect any note already issued or as to which PFC has accepted an offer to purchase.

Each note will be issued in fully registered book-entry form or certificated form, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The authorized denominations of foreign currency notes will be indicated in the applicable pricing supplement.

PFC will make payments of principal, and premium and interest, if any, on notes in book-entry form through the paying agent to the depository or its nominee. See “Description of Securities—Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, a beneficial owner of notes in book-entry form that are denominated in a specified currency electing to receive payments of principal or any premium or interest in that specified currency must notify the participant of the depository through which its interest is held on or before the applicable regular record date, in the case of a payment of interest, and on or before the sixteenth day, whether or not a Business Day, as defined below, before its stated maturity date, in the case of principal or premium, of the beneficial owner’s election to receive all or a portion of any payment in a specified currency. The participant must notify the depositary of any election on or before the third Business Day after the regular record date. The depositary will notify the paying agent of the election on or before the fifth Business Day after the regular record date. If complete instructions are received by the participant and forwarded to the depositary, and forwarded by the depositary to the paying agent, on or before the relevant dates, the beneficial owner of the notes in book-entry form will receive payments in the specified currency. For special payment terms applicable to foreign currency notes, see “Special Provisions Relating to Foreign Currency Notes” in this prospectus supplement.

In the case of notes in certificated form, PFC will make United States dollar payments of interest, other than interest payable at Maturity, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to such interest payment as shown on the note register. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a holder of $1,000,000, or the equivalent amount in a specified currency, or more in aggregate principal amount of notes in certificated form, whether having identical or different terms and provisions, will be entitled to receive interest payments, if any, other than interest payable at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the paying agent not less than fifteen days before the applicable interest payment date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the paying agent shall remain in effect until revoked by the holder. United States dollar payments of principal and interest at Maturity will be made in immediately available funds against presentation and surrender of the note at the office or agency of the paying agent designated for such purpose, provided the note is presented in time for the paying agent to make the payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.

Each note will be denominated in the currency that is specified on the face of the applicable note and in the applicable pricing supplement. Purchasers will be required to pay for foreign currency notes in the specified currency. If requested on or before the fifth Business Day, as defined below, preceding the date of delivery of the notes, or by such other day as determined by the agent who presented the offer to purchase notes to PFC, such agent may be prepared to arrange for the conversion of United States dollars into the specified currency to enable the purchasers to pay for the notes. If agreed to by the agent, each conversion will be made by the agent on terms and subject to conditions, limitations and charges as the agent may from time to time establish in accordance with its regular foreign exchange practices. All costs of exchange will be borne by the purchasers of the applicable foreign currency notes.

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, with respect to foreign currency notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is Euro, the day is also a TARGET business day. A “TARGET business day” is any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System or any successor thereto, is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency, as defined below, in London.

“Principal Financial Center” means, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement,

 

  (1) the capital city of the country issuing the specified currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively, or

 

  (2) the capital city of the country to which the Designated LIBOR Currency relates, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, London (solely in the case of the Designated LIBOR Currency), Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

Transaction Amount

Interest rates offered by PFC with respect to the notes may differ depending upon, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of notes purchased in any transaction. PFC may offer notes with similar variable terms but different interest rates concurrently at any time. PFC may also concurrently offer notes having different variable terms to different investors.

Redemption at the Option of PFC

The notes will not be subject to any sinking fund. PFC may redeem the notes at its option before their stated maturity only if an initial redemption date is specified in the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement. If so indicated in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement, PFC may redeem the notes at its option on any date on and after the applicable initial redemption date specified in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement. On and after the initial redemption date, if any, PFC may redeem the related note at any time in whole or from time to time in part at its option at the applicable redemption price referred to below together with interest on the principal of the applicable note payable to the redemption date, on written notice given, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days before the redemption date. PFC will redeem the notes in increments of $1,000 or any other integral multiple of the authorized denomination of the applicable note, provided that any remaining principal amount will be at least $1,000 or the minimum authorized denomination of the note. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the redemption price with respect to a note will initially mean a percentage, the initial redemption percentage, of the principal amount of the note specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement which shall decline at each anniversary of the initial redemption date by the percentage of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the redemption price is 100% of the principal amount.

Repayment at the Option of the Holder

If so indicated in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement, PFC will repay the notes in whole or in part at the option of the holders of the notes on any optional repayment date specified in the applicable notes and the applicable pricing supplement. If no optional repayment date is indicated with respect to a note, it will not be repayable at the option of the holder before its stated maturity. Any repayment in part will be in an amount equal to $1,000 or any other integral multiple of the authorized denomination of the applicable note, provided that

 

S-5


Table of Contents

any remaining principal amount will be at least $1,000 or the minimum authorized denomination of the note. The repurchase price for any note so repurchased will be 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest on the principal of the applicable note payable to the date of repayment. For any note to be repaid, the paying agent must receive, at its corporate trust office located at 101 Barclay Street, 7 West, New York, New York 10286, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days before the optional repayment date:

 

    in the case of a note in certificated form, the note and the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, or

 

    in the case of a note in book-entry form, instructions to that effect from the applicable beneficial owner of the notes to the depository and forwarded by the depository.

Notices of elections to exercise the repayment option with respect to notes in book-entry form must be received by the paying agent by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day for giving such notice.

Only the depository may exercise the repayment option in respect of global securities representing notes in book-entry form. Accordingly, beneficial owners of global securities that desire to have all or any portion of the notes in book-entry form represented by global securities repaid must instruct the participant through which they own their interest to direct the depository to exercise the repayment option on their behalf by forwarding the repayment instructions to the paying agent as discussed above. In order to ensure that the instructions are received by the paying agent on a particular day, the applicable beneficial owner must so instruct the participant through which it owns its interest before that participant’s deadline for accepting instructions for that day. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, beneficial owners of notes in book-entry form should consult the participants through which they own their interest for the respective deadlines. All instructions given to participants from beneficial owners of notes in book-entry form relating to the option to elect repayment will be irrevocable. In addition, at the time instructions are given, each beneficial owner will cause the participant through which it owns its interest to transfer its interest in the global security or securities representing the related notes in book-entry form, on the depository’s records, to the paying agent.

Exercise of the repayment option by the holder of a note will be irrevocable.

If applicable, PFC will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any repayment at the option of the holder.

PFC may at any time purchase notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by PFC may, at the discretion of PFC, be held, resold or surrendered to the paying agent for cancellation.

Interest

Each note will bear interest from the date of issue at the rate per annum, in the case of a fixed rate note or, in the case of a floating rate note, pursuant to the interest rate formula, in each case as stated in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal of the note is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be payable in arrears on each interest payment date specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement on which an installment of interest is due and payable and at Maturity. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest payable on an interest payment date will be payable to the person in whose name the applicable note is registered at the close of business on (a) March 1 or September 1, whether or not a Business Day, next preceding the interest payment date in the case of a fixed rate note, or (b) the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, next preceding the interest payment date in the case of a floating rate note (in each case, the “record date”); provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. The first payment of interest on any note originally issued between a record date and the related interest payment date will be made on the interest payment date immediately following the next succeeding record date to the registered holder on the next succeeding record date.

Fixed Rate Notes

Each fixed rate note will bear interest from, and including, the date of issue, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal amount of the note is paid or made available for payment. Interest payments on fixed rate notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the applicable fixed rate notes) to, but excluding, the related interest payment date or Maturity, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on fixed rate notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on fixed rate notes will be payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year and at Maturity. If any interest payment date or the Maturity of a fixed rate note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the applicable payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the interest payment date or the Maturity, as the case may be.

Floating Rate Notes

Interest on floating rate notes will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases, which may be one or more of:

 

    the CMT Rate,

 

    the Commercial Paper Rate,

 

    the Federal Funds Rate,

 

    LIBOR,

 

    EURIBOR,

 

    the Prime Rate,

 

    the Treasury Rate, or

 

    any other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate formula that is specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

A floating rate note may bear interest with respect to two or more Interest Rate Bases.

Terms. Each applicable pricing supplement will specify certain terms of the floating rate note being delivered, including:

 

    whether the floating rate note is

 

    a “Regular Floating Rate Note,”

 

    an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or

 

    a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note,”

 

    the Interest Rate Basis or Bases,

 

    the Initial Interest Rate,

    if one or more of the specified Interest Rate Bases is the CMT Rate, the applicable CMT Reuters page, the weekly average or the monthly average and the Index Maturity.

The interest rate borne by the floating rate notes will be determined as follows:

Regular Floating Rate Notes. Unless a floating rate note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, an Inverse Floating Rate Note or as having an Addendum attached or as having “Other Provisions” apply relating to a different interest rate formula, it will be a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

 

    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

 

    multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any.

Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the Regular Floating Rate Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes. If a floating rate note is designated as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note,” it will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

 

    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

 

    multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any.

Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the applicable Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that:

 

    the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate, and

 

    the interest rate in effect commencing on, and including, the date on which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis to Maturity will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if the rate is specified in the applicable pricing supplement, or if no Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect on the Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note on the day immediately preceding the date on which interest begins to accrue on a fixed rate basis.

Inverse Floating Rate Notes. If a floating rate note is designated as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note,” except as described below, it will bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest Rate specified in the note and the related pricing supplement minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

 

    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

 

    multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any;

provided, however, the interest rate on the applicable Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on the applicable Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. Except as set forth above, the interest rate in effect on each day will be based on:

 

    if the day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date, as defined below, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, or

 

    if the day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date.

Interest Reset Dates. The applicable floating rate note and the applicable pricing supplement will specify the dates on which the interest rate on the related floating rate note will be reset (each, an “Interest Reset Date”). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Interest Reset Date will be, in the case of floating rate notes which reset:

 

    daily—each Business Day;

 

    weekly—the Wednesday of each week, with the exception of weekly reset floating rate notes as to which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset the Tuesday of each week, except as described below;

 

    monthly—the third Wednesday of each month;

 

    quarterly—the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year;

 

    semiannually—the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable pricing supplement; or

 

    annually—the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable pricing supplement;

provided, however, that with respect to Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes, the rate of interest will not reset after the applicable date on which interest on a fixed rate basis begins to accrue.

If any Interest Reset Date for any floating rate note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. However, in the case of a floating rate note as to which LIBOR or EURIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, then the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, in the case of a floating rate note for which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis , if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the applicable Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

Maximum and Minimum Interest Rates. A floating rate note may also have either or both of the following:

 

    a maximum numerical limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest period (a “Maximum Interest Rate”), and

 

    a minimum numerical limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any period (a “Minimum Interest Rate”).

The Indenture and any senior debt securities issued under the Indenture, including the notes, are and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Under present New York law, the maximum rate of interest, with certain exceptions, is 25% per annum on a simple interest basis. This limit may not apply to securities in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested. While PFC believes that New York law would be given effect by a state or federal court sitting outside of New York, state laws frequently regulate the amount of interest that may be charged to and paid by a borrower, including, in some cases, corporate borrowers. It is suggested that prospective investors consult their personal advisors with respect to the applicability of these laws.

Interest Payments. Each applicable pricing supplement will specify the dates on which interest will be payable. Each floating rate note will bear interest from the date of issue at the rates specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement until the principal of the note is paid or otherwise made available for payment. Except as provided below, the interest payment dates with respect to floating rate notes will be, in the case of floating rate notes which reset:

 

    daily, weekly or monthly—the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement;

 

    quarterly—the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement;

 

    semiannually—the third Wednesday of each of the two months of each year specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement;

 

    annually—the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement; and

 

    at Maturity.

If any interest payment date for any floating rate note, other than an interest payment date on the Maturity, would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon will continue to accrue. However, in the case of a floating rate note as to which LIBOR or EURIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the applicable interest payment date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity of a floating rate note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on floating rate notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545%, or 0.09876545, would be rounded to 9.87655%, or 0.0987655. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on floating rate notes will be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upward.

Interest payments on floating rate notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid with respect to the applicable floating rate note, to, but excluding, the related interest payment date or Maturity, as the case may be.

With respect to each floating rate note, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying its principal amount by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.

    In the case of notes for which the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to each day by 360.

 

    In the case of notes for which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor for each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to each day by the actual number of days in the year.

 

    The interest factor for notes for which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

Interest Determination Dates. The interest rate applicable to each interest reset period commencing on the Interest Reset Date with respect to that interest reset period will be the rate determined as of the applicable “Interest Determination Date.”

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the CMT Rate or the Commercial Paper Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date.

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the Federal Funds Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the Interest Reset Date.

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the first Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date.

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the second London Banking Day preceding each Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is the British pounds sterling, in which case the Interest Determination Date will be the applicable Interest Reset Date.

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to EURIBOR will be the second TARGET business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date.

 

    The Interest Determination Date with respect to notes for which the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement are normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction falls on any Interest Reset Date, then the related Interest Reset Date will instead be the first Business Day following the auction.

 

    The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a note the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the applicable Interest Reset Date for the applicable note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined on the Interest Determination Date, and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

Calculation Date. The Bank of New York Mellon will be the initial calculation agent with respect to the floating rate notes. The calculation agent will notify PFC and the paying agent of each determination of the interest rate applicable to any floating rate note promptly after the determination is made. The paying agent will, upon the request of the holder of any floating rate note, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined and notified to the paying agent, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to that note. The paying agent will not be responsible for determining the interest rate applicable to any floating rate note. The calculation date, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of:

 

    the tenth calendar day after the applicable Interest Determination Date, or, if the tenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or

 

    the Business Day preceding the applicable interest payment date or Maturity, as the case may be.

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable interest reset period.

Other Provisions; Addenda

Any provisions with respect to an issue of notes, including the determination of one or more Interest Rate Bases, the specification of one or more Interest Rate Bases, the calculation of the interest rate applicable to a floating rate note, the applicable interest payment dates, the stated maturity date, any redemption or repayment provisions or any other matter relating to the applicable notes may be modified by the terms as specified under “Other Provisions” on the face of the applicable notes or in an Addendum relating to the applicable notes, if so specified on the face of the applicable notes and in the applicable pricing supplement.

Original Issue Discount Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes at a price less than their redemption price at Maturity, resulting in the applicable notes being treated as if they were issued with original issue discount for United States Federal income tax purposes (“Original Issue Discount Notes”). Original Issue Discount Notes may currently pay no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. Additional considerations relating to any Original Issue Discount Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement. See “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus for the tax effects associated with Original Issue Discount Notes.

Amortizing Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Amortizing Notes”), with amounts of principal and interest payable in installments over the term of the notes. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on each Amortizing Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Payments with respect to Amortizing Notes will be applied first to interest due and payable on the Amortizing Notes and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount of the Amortizing Notes. Further information concerning additional terms and conditions of any issue of Amortizing Notes will be provided in the applicable pricing supplement. A table setting forth repayment information in respect of each Amortizing Note will be included in the applicable Amortizing Note and the applicable pricing supplement.

Linked Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Linked Notes”) the principal value of which at Maturity will be determined by reference to:

 

  (a) one or more debt or equity securities, including, but not limited to, the price or yield of such securities,

 

S-20


Table of Contents
  (b) any statistical measure of economic or financial performance, including, but not limited to, any security, currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or

 

  (c) the price or value of any security, commodity or any other item or index or any combination,

(collectively, the “Linked Securities”). The payment or delivery of any consideration on any Linked Note at Maturity will be determined by the decrease or increase, as applicable, in the price or value of the applicable Linked Securities. The terms of and any additional considerations, including any material tax consequences, relating to any Linked Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

Extendible Maturity Notes

PFC may from time to time offer notes (“Extendible Maturity Notes”) with the option to extend the maturity of the notes to one or more dates indicated in the notes and the applicable pricing supplement. The terms of and any additional considerations relating to any Extendible Maturity Notes will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

Book-Entry Notes

Upon issuance, all notes in book-entry form having the same date of issue, stated maturity date and otherwise having identical terms and provisions will be represented by one or more fully registered global notes (the “Global Notes”). Each Global Note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, as depository, registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for notes in certificated form, no Global Note may be transferred except as a whole:

 

    by DTC to a nominee of DTC, or

 

    by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC, or

 

    by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of the successor.

For more information, see “Description of Securities — Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCY NOTES

Except as specified in the applicable pricing supplement, foreign currency notes (including notes denominated in the Euro) will not be sold in or to residents of the country or economic community issuing the currency in which particular notes are denominated. The information set forth in this prospectus supplement is directed to prospective purchasers who are United States residents, and it is by necessity incomplete with respect to foreign currency notes. PFC and the agents disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective purchasers who are residents of countries other than the United States with respect to any matters that may affect the purchase, holding or receipt of payments of principal of and premium, if any, and any interest on foreign currency notes. Prospective purchasers of foreign currency notes should consult their own financial and legal advisors with regard to such matters.

Payment of Principal, any Premium and Interest

Except as specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, we will pay the principal, any premium and interest on foreign currency notes as set forth in this prospectus supplement in the specified currency. The Exchange Rate Agent named in the applicable pricing supplement will, unless otherwise specified below or in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, convert the payment into United States dollars for payment to holders of the foreign currency notes. However, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, the holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive the payments in the specified currency, as described below.

PFC’s payment will be converted into United States dollars based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M. on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date for the purchase of the specified currency for United States dollars for settlement on the applicable payment date in the aggregate amount of the specified currency payable to all holders of foreign currency notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable foreign exchange dealer commits to execute a contract. The bid quotations shall be obtained from three recognized foreign exchange dealers, one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent, selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by PFC. If the bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the specified currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of the foreign currency note by deductions from such payments.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable note and the applicable pricing supplement, a holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment on that note in the specified currency. Any holder desiring to receive payment in the specified currency must submit a written request to the corporate trust office of the paying agent in The City of New York, on or before the applicable record date or at least fifteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. The written request may be mailed, hand delivered or sent by facsimile transmission (followed by the original). A holder of a foreign currency note may elect to receive payment in the specified currency for all or a specified portion of all principal, any premium and interest payments and need not file a separate election for each payment. The election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the paying agent, but written notice of any revocation must be received by the paying agent on or before the relevant record date or at least the fifteenth calendar day before Maturity, as the case may be. Holders of foreign currency notes whose notes are to be held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether and how an election to receive payments in the specified currency may be made.

Principal, any premium and interest on a foreign currency note paid in United States dollars will be paid in the manner specified in this prospectus supplement for notes denominated in United States dollars. Interest on a foreign currency note paid in the specified currency which are to be made on an interest payment date other than at Maturity will be paid by check mailed to the address of the holder entitled to the interest payment as shown on the note register, subject to the right to receive interest payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds under the circumstances described under “Description of the Notes—Terms of the Notes.” All checks payable in a specified currency will be drawn on a bank office located outside the United States. Payments of principal, any premium and interest on foreign currency notes paid in the specified currency at Maturity will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder at least fifteen days before Maturity, provided that the bank has appropriate facilities to make the wire transfer and that the note is presented and surrendered at the corporate trust office of the paying agent in The City of New York in time for the paying agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.

 

S-22


Table of Contents

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, a beneficial owner of a note in book-entry form denominated in a specified currency may elect to receive payments of principal or any premium or interest in the specified currency instead of United States dollars. The beneficial owner must give the participant through which its interest is held written notice of its election on or before the applicable record date, in the case of a payment of interest, and on or prior to the sixteenth day prior to Maturity, in the case of principal or premium.

The participant must notify the depository of such election on or before the third Business Day after the record date. The depository will notify the paying agent of the election on or before the fifth Business Day after the record date or at least ten calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by the participant and forwarded by the participant to the depository and by the depository to the paying agent, on or before the specified dates, the beneficial owner of the notes in book-entry form will receive payments in the specified currency.

Availability of Specified Currency

If the specified currency for a foreign currency note is not available for the payment of principal, any premium and interest due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of PFC, we will be entitled to satisfy our obligations on the note by making the required payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate, computed by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day before the applicable payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate, or as otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

The “Market Exchange Rate” for a specified currency other than United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the specified currency as certified for customs purposes, or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined, by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made in United States dollars under circumstances where the required payment is in a specified currency other than United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the notes.

All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the foreign currency notes.

Judgments

Under current New York law, a state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment in respect of a foreign currency note would be required to render the judgment in the specified currency, and the foreign currency judgment would be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Accordingly, the holder of a foreign currency note would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the date of entry of the foreign currency judgment and the time the amount of the foreign currency judgment is paid to the holder in United States dollars and converted by the holder into the specified currency. It is not certain, however, whether a non-New York state court would follow the same rules and procedures with respect to conversions of foreign currency judgments.

PFC will indemnify the holder of any note against any loss incurred by it as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under the note and judgment or order requiring payment in a currency other than the specified currency, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the specified currency amount is converted into the currency in the judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the holder of the note, on the date of payment of the judgment or order, is able to purchase the specified currency with the amount actually received under the judgment or order.

Alternative Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement

If PFC issues notes which provide for one or more payments to be made in a non-U.S. currency, the applicable pricing supplement may specify that such notes will be cleared through an alternate book-entry system,

 

S-23


Table of Contents

which may include Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg, rather than through DTC. Any such alternate book-entry arrangement, including payment and settlement terms in connection therewith, will be described in the applicable pricing supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

PFC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. (the “agents”) have entered into a distribution agreement with respect to the notes. Subject to certain conditions, the agents have agreed to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the notes. PFC has the right to accept offers to purchase notes and may reject any proposed purchase of the notes in whole or in part. The agents may also reject any offer to purchase notes. PFC will pay the agents a commission on any notes sold through the agents. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the commission will range from 0.100% to 0.475% of the principal amount of the notes, depending on the maturity of the notes. Commissions with respect to notes with maturities in excess of 15 years that are sold through an agent as an agent of PFC will be negotiated between us and the agent at time of the sale.

PFC may also sell notes to the agents who will purchase the notes as principals for their own accounts. Any such sale will be made at a discount equal to the commission referred to in the preceding paragraph if no other discount is agreed. Any notes the agents purchase as principal may be resold at the market price or at other prices determined by the agents at the time of resale. PFC may also sell notes directly on its own behalf. No commissions will be paid on notes sold directly by PFC at such discount.

PFC may also enter into separate arrangements with firms other than the agents which allow such firms to purchase for resale to the public all or a portion of the notes. The name of any firm, the underwriting discount and the initial public offering price for such notes will be set forth on the cover page of the pricing supplement delivered in connection with the offering and the sale of the applicable notes.

The agents may resell any notes they purchase as principals for their own accounts to other brokers or dealers at a discount which may include all or part of the discount the agents received from PFC. The agents will purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount less a discount. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the discount will equal the applicable commission on an agency sale of notes of the same maturity. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the agents may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

In connection with the offering of notes purchased by one or more agents as principal on a fixed price basis, the agents are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the notes. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes. If an agent creates a short position in the notes in connection with the offering, i.e., if it sells more notes than are set forth on the applicable pricing supplement, the agent may reduce that short position by purchasing notes in the open market. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the security or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the security. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the agent’s overallotment option. Because the agents have no overallotment option with respect to the notes, they would be required to close out a short position in the notes by purchasing notes in the open market.

Neither PFC nor any agent makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither PFC nor the agents makes any representation that the agents will engage in any such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The agents, whether acting as agents or principals, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). PFC has agreed to indemnify the several agents and their respective directors, officers and control persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribute to any payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. PFC has agreed to reimburse the agents for certain expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel.

 

S-24


Table of Contents

The agents may sell to dealers who may resell to investors and the agents may pay all or part of the discount or commission they receive from PFC to the dealers. Such dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

From time to time, PFC may also sell notes or other debt securities pursuant to another prospectus supplement to the accompanying prospectus.

No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes. The agents may from time to time purchase and sell notes in the secondary market, but the agents are not obligated to do so. There can be no assurance that there will be a secondary market for the notes or liquidity in the secondary market if one develops.

PFC estimates that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and SEC registration fees, will be approximately $6.7 million.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable pricing supplement, the purchase price of the notes will be required to be paid in immediately available funds in New York, New York.

The agents and their respective affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for PFC and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Some of the agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. Affiliates of each of the agents are lenders under our credit facility agreements.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the agents or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those agents may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

In the event that more than 5% of the net proceeds of the sale of notes is used to repay debt of ours that is held by any individual agent that is a member of FINRA, or affiliates of that agent, such sale will be made in accordance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121 because such agent is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” as defined by such rule. Under such rule, such agent will not be permitted to sell any notes to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior written approval of the customer to which the account relates.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

The validity of the notes will be passed upon for PFC by Perkins Coie LLP. Certain legal matters have been passed upon for the agents by Sidley Austin LLP .

Table of Contents
Survivor’s Option   Specific notes may contain a provision requiring us to repay those notes prior to stated maturity if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of those notes following the death of the beneficial owner of the notes, so long as the notes were owned by the beneficial owner or his or her estate at least six months prior to the request. This feature is referred to as a “Survivor’s Option.” Your notes will not be repaid in this manner unless the pricing supplement for your notes provides for the Survivor’s Option. The right to exercise the Survivor’s Option is subject to limits set by us on:
 

•       the permitted dollar amount of total exercises by all holders of notes in any calendar year; and

 

•       the permitted dollar amount of an individual exercise by a holder of a note in any calendar year.

R ISK FACTORS

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks. You should carefully consider and evaluate the following risk factors and the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the business and industry risk factors and the political, regulatory and economic risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. These risks are not intended as, and should not be construed as, an exhaustive list of relevant risk factors. There may be other risks that a prospective investor should consider that are relevant to the investor’s own particular circumstances or to investors generally. The notes are not an appropriate investment for you if you are unsophisticated with respect to the significant components and their relationships.

We may choose to redeem notes when prevailing interest rates are relatively low.

If your notes are redeemable at our option, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we may choose to redeem your notes from time to time, especially when prevailing interest rates are lower than the rate borne by the notes. If prevailing rates are lower at the time of redemption, you generally will not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the notes being redeemed. Our redemption right also may adversely impact your ability to sell your notes as the redemption date or period approaches.

Any Survivor’s Option may be limited in amount.

We will have a discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes subject to any Survivor’s Option that may be exercised in any calendar year to an amount equal to the greater of $2,000,000 or 2.0% of the outstanding principal amount of all notes outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year or such greater amount as we in our sole discretion determine for any calendar year. We also will have the discretionary right to limit to $250,000, or such greater amount as we in our sole discretion may determine, in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of notes subject to the Survivor’s Option that may be exercised in such calendar year on behalf of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that exercise of the Survivor’s Option for a desired amount will be permitted in any single calendar year. Furthermore, a Survivor’s Option may not be exercised if the notes were not owned by the beneficial owner thereof, including his or her estate, for at least six months prior to the request to exercise the Survivor’s Option.

If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, the market value of the notes, if any, may be less than the principal amount of the notes.

Your right to require us to repay your notes prior to maturity will be limited unless a Survivor’s Option or other optional repayment right is applicable to your notes. If you wish (or your estate wishes) to liquidate your investment in the notes prior to maturity, selling your notes may be your only option. At that time, there may be a very illiquid market for the notes or no market at all. Even if you were able to sell your notes, there are many factors outside our control that may affect the market value of the notes, some of which, but not all, are stated below. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. Those factors include, without limitation:

 

    the method of calculating the principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts payable, if any, on the notes;

 

    the time remaining to the maturity of the notes;

 

    the outstanding principal amount of the notes;

 

    any redemption or repayment features of the notes;

 

    market rates of interest that are higher than the rates borne by the notes; and

 

    the level, direction and volatility of interest rates generally.

 

S-4


Table of Contents

In addition, there may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell your notes. This may affect the price you receive for your notes or your ability to sell your notes at all.

Changes in our credit ratings would be expected to affect the value of the notes.

Our credit ratings are an assessment of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may affect the trading value of the notes. However, because your return on the notes depends upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to the notes.

The market value of the notes may be affected by factors in addition to credit ratings.

The notes could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price of the notes. In addition to credit ratings that are assigned to the notes, whether or not the notes will trade at lower prices depends on various factors, including prevailing interest rates and markets for similar securities, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects and general economic conditions.

We cannot assure you that a trading market for your notes will ever develop, be maintained or be liquid.

We cannot assure you that a trading market for your notes will ever develop, be maintained or be liquid, which may limit your ability to sell the notes prior to maturity and/or at the price paid therefor.

To the extent that the agents engage in any market-making activities, they may bid for or offer notes in accordance with applicable law. Any price at which the agents may bid for, offer, purchase or sell any notes may differ from the values determined by pricing models that may be used by any agent, whether as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs. These bids, offers or completed transactions may affect the prices, if any, at which the notes might otherwise trade in the market.

In addition, if at any time the agents were to cease acting as a market maker, it is likely that there would be significantly less liquidity in the secondary market, in which case any price at which the notes could be sold would likely be lower than if an active trading market existed.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following description of the particular terms of PACCAR Financial InterNotes ® , Series C being offered supplements and, to the extent inconsistent with or to the extent otherwise specified in an applicable pricing supplement, replaces the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth under the heading “Description of Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. The final terms of a particular tranche of notes will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement and subject to the preceding sentence, will have the terms summarized below and in the accompanying prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined below have the meanings given to them in the accompanying prospectus and in the indenture relating to the notes.

General

The notes offered by this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the applicable pricing supplement will be issued under an indenture dated as of November 20, 2009 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. References to the indenture in this prospectus supplement will mean the indenture as amended and supplemented from time to time. The terms of the indenture are more fully summarized in the accompanying prospectus. The indenture does not limit the aggregate amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder and provides that the debt securities may be issued under the indenture from time to time in one or more series. The following statements are summaries of the material provisions of the indenture and the notes. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the indenture, including for the definitions of certain terms. If you want to know more about the terms of any of the notes, you should refer to the indenture. We have filed with the SEC the indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued.

The notes constitute a single series of debt securities for purposes of the indenture that may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount.

Unless the applicable pricing supplement specifies to the contrary, with respect to each separate tranche of notes issued under the indenture, the trustee will serve as registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent.

Notes issued in accordance with this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the applicable pricing supplement will have the following general characteristics:

 

    the notes may be offered from time to time by us through the Purchasing Agent and each note will mature on a day that is at least nine months from its date of original issuance (not to exceed 35 years);

 

    each note will bear interest from its date of original issuance at a fixed rate;

 

    the notes will not be subject to any sinking fund; and

 

    the minimum denomination of the notes will be $1,000 (unless otherwise stated in such pricing supplement).

In addition, the pricing supplement relating to each tranche of notes will describe certain specific terms of the notes, including:

 

    the price, which may be expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, at which any notes offered on a fixed price basis will be initially offered to the public;

 

    the date on which the notes will be originally issued to the public;

 

    the stated maturity date of the notes;

 

    the rate per year at which the notes will bear interest;

 

    the interest payment frequency;

 

S-6


Table of Contents
    the purchase price, the Purchasing Agent’s discount and net proceeds to us;

 

    whether the authorized representative of the holder of a beneficial interest in the note will have the right to seek repayment upon the death of the holder as described under “— Survivor’s Option”;

 

    if the notes may be redeemed at our option or repaid at the option of the holder (other than a Survivor’s Option) prior to its stated maturity date, the provisions relating to any such redemption or repayment;

 

    any special United States Federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes; and

 

    any other significant terms of the notes not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture.

Ranking

The notes will be our senior unsecured debt obligations, and will rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $6.03 billion of senior indebtedness issued and outstanding. The notes will rank junior to secured indebtedness to the extent of related collateral. We currently do not have any secured indebtedness outstanding.

Payment of Principal and Interest

Principal of and interest on beneficial interests in the notes will be made in accordance with the arrangements then in place between the paying agent and DTC and its participants as described below under “Registration and Settlement” and under “Description of Securities—Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Each global note will be held through DTC and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

Interest on each note will be payable either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually on each interest payment date and at the note’s stated maturity date or, if applicable, on the date of redemption or repayment if a note is redeemed or repaid prior to maturity. Interest is payable to the person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date before each interest payment date, except that interest payable at the note’s stated maturity date or earlier redemption or repayment date will be payable to the person to whom principal is payable against presentation and surrender of the note.

We will pay any administrative costs imposed by any paying agent in connection with making payments in immediately available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon any payments on a note, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, is the responsibility of the holders of beneficial interests in the note in respect of which such payments are made.

Interest and Interest Rates

Each note will accrue interest from its date of original issuance until its stated maturity date or date of earlier redemption or repayment. The applicable pricing supplement will specify the fixed interest rate at which the applicable notes will bear interest. Interest will be payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Interest payments on each note will include the amount of interest accrued from and including the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the date of original issuance if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the note) to, but excluding, the applicable interest payment date, stated maturity date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

Interest on a note will be payable beginning on the first interest payment date after its date of original issuance to holders of record on the corresponding regular record date unless the original issuance date falls after a regular record date and on or prior to an interest payment date, in which case such interest will be payable beginning on the next interest payment date.

 

S-7


Table of Contents

Payment of Interest

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on the notes will be paid as follows:

 

Interest Payment Frequency

Specified in Pricing Supplement

  

Interest Payment Dates

Monthly    Fifteenth day of each calendar month, beginning in the first calendar month following the month the note is issued.
Quarterly    Fifteenth day of every third month, beginning in the third calendar month following the month the note is issued.
Semi-annually    Fifteenth day of every sixth month, beginning in the sixth calendar month following the month the note is issued.
Annually    Fifteenth day of every twelfth month, beginning in the twelfth calendar month following the month the note is issued.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the regular record date for any interest payment date will be the first day of the calendar month in which the interest payment date occurs, except that interest due on the note’s stated maturity date or date of earlier redemption or repayment will be payable to the person to whom the principal is payable against presentation and surrender of the note.

The term “business day”, for any note, means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York.

Unless the applicable pricing supplement specifies otherwise, interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If the stated maturity date, date of earlier redemption or repayment or interest payment date for any note is not a business day, principal, premium, if any, and interest for that note will be paid on the next business day, and no interest will accrue on the amount payable from, and after, the stated maturity date, date of earlier redemption or repayment or interest payment date, as the case may be.

Limitation on Liens

The indenture contains the covenant described under “Description of Securities—Provisions of the Indenture—Limitation on Liens” in the accompanying prospectus.

Redemption and Repayment

Unless we otherwise provide in the applicable pricing supplement, a note will not be redeemable or repayable prior to its stated maturity date.

If the applicable pricing supplement states that the notes offered thereby will be redeemable at our option prior to their stated maturity date, then on such date or dates specified in the pricing supplement, we may redeem those notes at our option either in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 calendar days’ written notice to the holder of those notes.

 

S-8


Table of Contents

If the applicable pricing supplement states that your note will be repayable at your option prior to its stated maturity date without reference to a Survivor’s Option, we will require receipt of notice of the request for repayment at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date or dates, or period or periods, specified in the pricing supplement. We also must receive the completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment.” Exercise of the repayment option by the holder of a note is irrevocable.

Since the notes will be represented by a global note, DTC or its nominee will be treated as the holder of the notes; therefore, other than the trustee under the indenture, DTC or its nominee will be the only entity that receives notices of redemption of notes from us, in the case of our redemption of notes, and will be the only entity that can exercise the right to repayment of notes, in the case of optional repayment. See “Registration and Settlement.”

To ensure that DTC or its nominee will timely exercise a right to repayment with respect to a particular beneficial interest in a note, the beneficial owner of the interest in that note must instruct the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which it holds the beneficial interest to notify DTC or its nominee of its desire to exercise a right to repayment. Because different firms have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers, each beneficial owner should consult the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in a note to determine the cut-off time by which the instruction must be given for timely notice to be delivered to DTC or its nominee. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC or its nominee to participants, by participants to indirect participants and by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners of the notes will be governed by agreements among them and any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

We expect that any redemption or repayment of a note, if specified in the applicable pricing supplement, normally will be permitted on the dates specified therein following receipt of a valid notice. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the redemption or repayment price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed or repaid plus unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption or repayment.

We may at any time purchase notes at any price or prices in the open market or otherwise. We may also purchase notes otherwise tendered for repayment by a holder or tendered by a holder’s duly authorized representative through exercise of the Survivor’s Option described below. If we purchase any notes, we have the discretion to either hold, resell or surrender such notes to the trustee for cancellation.

Survivor’s Option

The “Survivor’s Option” is a provision in a note pursuant to which we agree to repay that note, if requested by the authorized representative of the beneficial owner of that note, following the death of the beneficial owner of the note, so long as the note was owned by that beneficial owner or the estate of that beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request. The applicable pricing supplement will state whether the Survivor’s Option applies to those notes.

If a note is entitled to a Survivor’s Option, upon the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option and the proper tender of that note for repayment, we will repay that note or the portion to be repaid, as applicable, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in that note to be repaid plus unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of repayment, subject to the limitations described below.

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.

The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased owner’s spouse, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that note, and the entire principal amount of the note so held will be subject to repayment by us upon request. However, the death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as tenant in common with a person other than such deceased owner’s spouse will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased owner’s interest in the note.

 

S-9


Table of Contents

The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in a note will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of that note for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the holder of that note, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of us and the trustee. A beneficial ownership interest will 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. In addition, a beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the applicable note during his or her lifetime.

We will have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted by us from authorized representatives of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to the greater of $2,000,000 or 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all notes outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year or such greater amount as we in our sole discretion determine for any calendar year. We also will have the discretionary right to limit to $250,000, or such greater amount as we in our sole discretion may determine, in any calendar year the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted by us from the authorized representative of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes in such calendar year. In addition, we will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option except in principal amounts of at least $1,000 and in multiples of $1,000.

An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn. Each election to exercise the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that elections are received by the trustee, except for any note the acceptance of which would contravene any of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph. Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor’s Option normally will be repaid on the first interest payment date that occurs 20 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, 2015, and interest on that note is paid monthly on the 15 th calendar day of the month, we would normally repay that note on the interest payment date occurring on January 15, 2016, because the December 15, 2015 interest payment date would occur less than 20 days from the date of acceptance. Each tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of any of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such notes were originally tendered. If a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted due to the application of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph, the trustee will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered holder, at that holder’s last known address as indicated in the note register, that states the reason that note has not been accepted for repayment.

With respect to notes represented by a global note, DTC or its nominee is treated as the holder of the notes and will be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such notes. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option for a note, the deceased beneficial owner’s authorized representative must provide the following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in the note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:

 

    a written instruction to such broker or other entity to notify DTC of the authorized representative’s desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option;

 

    appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the trustee (i) 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 at least six months prior to the request for repayment, (ii) that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred, (iii) of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and (iv) that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;

 

    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 interest in such note;

 

    a written request for repayment 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 Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States;

 

S-10


Table of Contents
    if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement;

 

    tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that we or the trustee reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the note and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and

 

    any additional information we or the trustee reasonably requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to document the beneficial ownership interest in the note or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of the note.

In turn, the broker or other entity will deliver each of these items to the trustee, together with evidence satisfactory to us and the trustee from the broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner.

We retain the right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in any one calendar year as described above. All questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties.

The broker or other entity will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the trustee to the authorized representative. See “Registration and Settlement.”

Forms for the exercise of the Survivor’s Option may be obtained from The Bank of New York Mellon by calling (800) 254-2826.

If applicable, we will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any repayment of notes at the option of the registered holders or beneficial owners thereof.

Reopening of Issue

We may, from time to time, without the consent of or notice to existing noteholders, reopen a tranche of notes and issue additional notes with the same rank and terms (including maturity and interest payment terms) as notes issued on an earlier date, except for the date of original issuance, issue price and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the first payment of interest. After such additional notes are issued, they will be fungible with, and will form one tranche with, the previously issued notes to the extent specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

Table of Contents

REGISTRATION AND SETTLEMENT

The Depository Trust Company

All of the notes we offer will be issued in book-entry only form. This means that we will not issue certificates for notes, except in the limited cases described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of Securities—Global Securities.” Instead, we will issue global notes in registered form for each individual tranche of notes. Each global note will be held through DTC and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Accordingly, Cede & Co. will be the holder of record of the notes. Each note represented by a global note evidences a beneficial interest in that global note.

Beneficial interests in a global note will be shown on, and transfers will be effected through, records maintained by DTC or its participants. In order to own a beneficial interest in a note, you must be an institution that has an account with DTC or have a direct or indirect account with such an institution. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes will be accomplished by making entries in DTC participants’ books acting on behalf of beneficial owners.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder of a global note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be the sole holder and owner of the notes represented thereby for all purposes, including payment of principal and interest, under the indenture. Except as otherwise provided below, you will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered the holder of the notes for any purpose under the indenture. Accordingly, you must rely on the procedures of DTC and the procedures of the DTC participant through which you own your note in order to exercise any rights of a holder of a note under the indenture. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of notes take physical delivery of such notes in certificated form. Those limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the notes.

For more information relating to DTC, please refer to “Description of Securities—Global Securities” in the accompanying prospectus.

Registration, Transfer and Payment of Certificated Notes

We do not intend to issue certificated notes. If we ever issue notes in certificated form, those notes may be presented for registration, transfer and payment at the office of the registrar designated and maintained by us. We have originally designated The Bank of New York Mellon to act in those capacities for the notes. The registrar will make the transfer or registration only if it is satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request. There will not be a service charge for any exchange or registration of transfer of the notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the exchange. At any time, we may change registrars or approve a change in the location through which any registrar acts. We also may designate additional registrars for any notes at any time.

We will not be required to: (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any note called for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any note, or portion thereof, called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any registered note being redeemed in part; or (iii) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any note, or portion thereof, which has been surrendered for repayment by the holder, except the unrepaid portion of any note being repaid in part.

We will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any certificated notes at the offices of the paying agents we may designate from time to time. Generally, we will pay interest on a note by check on any interest payment date other than at stated maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment to the person in whose name the note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for that payment. We will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest at stated maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment in same-day funds against presentation and surrender of the applicable notes.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the notes by employee benefit plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

General Fiduciary Matters

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

In considering an investment in the notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. We may be a party in interest or a disqualified person with respect to certain ERISA Plans. One such prohibited transaction is the lending of money or other extension of credit between a Plan and a party in interest or disqualified person. The notes will constitute a loan or extension of credit. Accordingly, the acquisition and/or holding of notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we, the Purchasing Agent, or a member of the selling group is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or “PTCEs,” that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers, although there can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

Similar Laws may impose similar restrictions with respect to Plans that are not ERISA Plans.

Because of the foregoing, the notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

Representation

Accordingly, by acceptance of a note, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of a note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire and hold the notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase and holding of the notes by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

PFC and Incapital LLC (the “Purchasing Agent”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. have entered into a selling agent agreement with respect to the notes. Under the terms of the selling agent agreement, the notes will be offered from time to time by us to the Purchasing Agent for subsequent resale to the agents and other dealers who are broker-dealers and securities firms. The notes will be offered for sale in the United States only. Dealers who are members of the selling group have executed a master selected dealer agreement with the Purchasing Agent. We also may appoint additional agents to sell the notes. Any sale of the notes through those additional agents, however, will be on the same terms and conditions to which the original agents have agreed. The names of any additional agents will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement.

The Purchasing Agent will purchase the notes at a discount ranging from 0.30% to 3.15% of the aggregate principal amount for each note sold. However, we also may sell the notes to the Purchasing Agent at a discount greater than or less than the range specified above. The discount at which we sell the notes to the Purchasing Agent will be set forth in the applicable pricing supplement. The Purchasing Agent also may sell notes to dealers at a concession not in excess of the discount it received from us. In certain cases, the Purchasing Agent and the other agents and dealers may agree that the Purchasing Agent will retain the entire discount. We will disclose any particular arrangements in the applicable pricing supplement.

Subject to certain conditions, the agents have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of the notes. Following the solicitation of orders, each of the agents, severally and not jointly, may purchase notes as principal for its own account from the Purchasing Agent. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, these notes will be purchased by the agents and resold by them to one or more investors at a fixed public offering price. After the initial public offering of notes, the public offering price (in the case of notes to be resold at a fixed public offering price), discount and concession may be changed.

We have the sole right to accept offers to purchase notes and may reject any proposed offer to purchase notes in whole or in part. Each agent also has the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed offer to purchase notes in whole or in part. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify any offer without notice. We also may change the terms, including the interest rate we will pay on the notes, at any time prior to our acceptance of an offer to purchase.

Each agent, including the Purchasing Agent, may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We have agreed to indemnify the agents and their respective partners, directors, officers and control persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to any payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. We also have agreed to reimburse the agents for certain expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel.

Table of Contents

No note will have an established trading market when issued. We do not intend to apply for the listing of the notes on any securities exchange. However, we have been advised by the agents that they may purchase and sell notes in the secondary market as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The agents are not obligated to make a market in the notes, and they may discontinue making a market in the notes at any time without notice. Neither we nor the agents can provide any assurance regarding the development, maintenance or liquidity of any trading market for any notes. All secondary trading in the notes will settle in same-day funds. See “Registration and Settlement.”

In connection with certain offerings of notes, the rules of the SEC permit the Purchasing Agent to engage in transactions that may stabilize the price of the notes. The Purchasing Agent will conduct these activities for the agents. These transactions may consist of short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. A short sale is the sale by the Purchasing Agent of a greater principal amount of notes than the principal amount the Purchasing Agent has agreed to purchase in connection with a specific offering of notes. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made by the Purchasing Agent to prevent or retard a decline in the price of the notes while an offering of notes is in process. In general, these purchases or bids for the notes for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the notes to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of those purchases or bids. Neither we nor the Purchasing Agent makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that these transactions may have on the price of any notes. In addition, neither we nor the Purchasing Agent makes any representation that these transactions will be commenced or, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. The Purchasing Agent is not required to engage in these activities and may discontinue any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The Purchasing Agent and the other agents or dealers to or through which we may sell notes or their respective affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for PFC and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the agents and their respective affiliates may engage in commercial and investment banking transactions with PFC and its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. Affiliates of each of the agents are lenders under our credit facility agreements.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the agents or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those agents may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

In the event that more than 5% of the net proceeds of the sale of notes is used to repay debt of ours that is held by any individual agent that is a member of FINRA, or affiliates of that agent, such sale will be made in accordance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121 because such agent is deemed to have a “conflict of interest” as defined by such rule. Under such rule, such agent will not be permitted to sell any notes to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior written approval of the customer to which the account relates.

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding discounts and commissions and SEC registration fees, will be approximately $0.4 million.

RI SK FACTOR S

Our business is subject to uncertainties and risks. In addition to the risk factors set forth below, you should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). It is possible that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

Sales of PACCAR Products

Our business is substantially dependent upon the sale of PACCAR products and our ability to offer competitive financing in the United States. Changes in the volume of sales of PACCAR products due to a variety of reasons could impact the level of our business.

Demand for commercial vehicles depends to some extent on economic and other conditions in a given market and the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. The demand for commercial vehicles may increase or decrease more than overall gross domestic product in the United States. Demand may also be affected by factors impacting new truck prices such as costs of raw materials and components and cost of compliance with governmental regulations (including tariffs, engine emissions regulations, import regulations and taxes).

Credit Risk

Credit risk, including counterparty credit risk in derivative transactions, is the risk of loss arising from the failure of a customer, dealer or counterparty to meet the terms of any contract with us or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. We may be exposed to a greater credit risk in periods of adverse economic conditions, such as high interest rates and diesel prices, combined with a decline in freight demand, since it becomes more difficult for customers and dealers to perform as agreed and could also cause a decrease in the value of our collateral. Although our financial assets are secured by underlying equipment collateral, in the event a customer cannot meet its obligations to us, there is a risk that the value of the underlying collateral will not be sufficient to recover the amounts owed to us resulting in credit losses.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risks, because increases in interest rates can reduce demand for our products, increase borrowing costs and potentially reduce interest margins. We use derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates.

Residual Value Risk

Residual value risk is the risk that the estimated residual value of leased assets at lease origination, for our operating leases and certain direct financing leases, will not be recoverable. When the market value of these leased assets at contract maturity or at early termination is less than its contractual residual value, we will be exposed to a greater risk of loss on the sales of the returned equipment.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates, liquidity or prices will negatively impact our operating results and access to capital. Policies governing market risk exposure are established and periodically reviewed by our senior management.

The Financial Services Industry Is Highly Competitive

We compete with banks, other commercial finance companies and financial services firms which may have lower costs of borrowing, higher leverage or market share goals that result in a willingness to offer lower interest rates, which may lead to decreased margins, lower market share or both.

Table of Contents

Accounting Estimates

In the preparation of our financial statements, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management uses estimates and makes judgments and assumptions that affect asset and liability values and the amounts reported as income and expense during the periods presented. Certain of these estimates, judgments and assumptions, such as residual values on operating leases, the allowance for credit losses and the provision for income taxes, are particularly sensitive. If actual results are different from estimates used by management, they may have a material impact on the financial statements.

Information Technology

We rely on information technology systems, including the internet and other computer systems, which may be subject to disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components; power outages; hardware failures; computer viruses; or outside parties attempting to disrupt our business or gain unauthorized access to our electronic data. We maintain protections to guard against such events. If our computer systems were to be damaged, disrupted or breached, it could have a negative impact on our operating results and could also cause reputational damage, business disruption or the disclosure of confidential data.

U S E OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of the securities for general corporate purposes, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a specific issue of securities. Our general corporate purposes may include the repayment of existing indebtedness, including indebtedness to PACCAR and its subsidiaries, and may include loans to or investments in PACCAR and PACCAR’s other finance and leasing subsidiaries.

R E LATIONSHIP WITH PACCAR

General

PFC was formed to finance sales of PACCAR products to and by PACCAR’s dealers. Sales of PACCAR products continue to provide PFC’s principal source of financing business. We receive administrative support services from PACCAR, for which a fee is charged. We have borrowed funds from and loaned funds to PACCAR and PACCAR’s other finance and leasing subsidiaries, and we may do so in the future. Since PACCAR owns all of PFC’s common stock, PACCAR can control the management and policies of PFC.

Support Agreement

We have a support agreement with PACCAR that obligates PACCAR:

 

    to provide financial assistance to us when required; and

 

    to own, directly or indirectly, all of our outstanding voting stock.

PACCAR is required to provide financial assistance to us if our ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges, as defined in the support agreement, is less than 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. PACCAR must provide financial assistance as necessary to meet the ratio requirement if this ratio is not satisfied. We met the required ratios for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 without assistance from PACCAR.

PFC and PACCAR may amend or cancel the support agreement upon 30 days notice. The amendment or termination will be effective only if:

 

    two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations which have issued ratings with respect to PFC’s debt confirm in writing that their ratings for PFC’s debt would remain the same after the amendment or cancellation, or

 

3


Table of Contents
    the notice provides that the support agreement will continue in effect with respect to any of PFC’s then outstanding debt which is rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization until that debt has been paid or defeased in accordance with its terms, or

 

    the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of all outstanding debt of PFC with an original maturity in excess of 270 days which is rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization consent in writing to the amendment or cancellation. In this situation, the holders of any debt with an original maturity of 270 days or less shall continue to have the benefit of the support agreement until the maturity of their debt.

PACCAR’s obligations to PFC do not constitute a guarantee of any indebtedness or liability of PFC and do not create any rights against PACCAR by any third person. There are no direct or indirect guarantees by PACCAR for the payment of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or of any other indebtedness of PFC.

D E SCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The senior debt securities will be issued under an Indenture dated as of November 20, 2009 between PFC and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). Securities issued under the Indenture are unsecured senior indebtedness of PFC and are not limited to any aggregate amount. A copy of the Indenture is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The summary of the material provisions of the Indenture in the “Provisions of the Indenture” section below is not complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions of terms.

Terms of the Securities

PFC may issue the securities from time to time and in one or more series, without limitation as to aggregate principal amount. PFC may issue the securities upon the terms fixed or established in a supplemental indenture or in, or pursuant to, a resolution of the Board of Directors of PFC and set forth in a certificate of an officer of PFC who has been authorized by the Board of Directors to take that kind of action. (See Section 301 of the Indenture). Any resolution or officer’s certificate approving the issuance of any issue of securities will establish the terms of that issue, including:

 

    the title of the securities;

 

    any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the securities;

 

    the date or dates on which the securities will mature;

 

    the rate or rates per annum at which the securities will bear interest, if any, or the manner in which the interest rate or rates are determined, and the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue;

 

    the dates on which interest, if any, on the securities will be payable and the related record dates;

 

    any obligation of PFC to redeem or purchase the securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holder of the securities;

 

    whether the securities are to be issued in the form of one or more global securities and the identity of the depositary for global securities;

 

    any redemption terms;

 

    any additional covenants for the benefit of the holders of the securities;

 

    the currency for payment of principal and interest if other than United States dollars;

 

4


Table of Contents
    whether the amount of payments of principal, premium and interest on the securities may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method and the manner in which the amounts shall be determined; and

 

    other terms, including, but not limited to, PFC’s ability to satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture more than one year prior to the maturity or redemption of the securities. (See Sections 301 and 401 of the Indenture).

Please see the accompanying prospectus supplement you have received or will receive for the terms of the specific securities being offered.

Prospective purchasers of securities should be aware that special United States Federal income tax, accounting and other considerations may be applicable to the specific securities being offered. See “United States Federal Income Taxation” in this prospectus and any other considerations described in the applicable supplement to this prospectus.

Transfer of the securities will be registered at the corporate trust office of the trustee. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the securities, but PFC may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable.

Global Securities

PFC may issue series of securities in global form that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the initial depositary, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. If any securities are issued in global form, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement you have received or will receive for the terms of the specific debt securities being offered. Unless the prospectus supplement states different terms for the securities being offered, global securities will have the following terms:

 

    A global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee or to a successor of the depositary, unless exchanged for securities in certificated form. (See Sections 303 and 305 of the Indenture).

 

    Only persons that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee, which we refer to as a participant, or that may hold interests through a participant may own beneficial interests in a global security. These accounts will be designated by the applicable underwriters or agents or by PFC if the securities are offered and sold directly by PFC.

 

    Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary will credit the principal amounts of the securities to the participants’ accounts on its book-entry registration and transfer system. Ownership and transfer of the ownership of a beneficial interest in a global security will be shown on and effected only through records maintained by the depositary or by the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons held through participants). (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

 

    So long as the depositary is the registered owner of a global security, the depositary will be considered the sole owner of the securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. (See Sections 303 and 308 of the Indenture). Owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to: have the securities represented by the global security registered in their names; receive physical delivery of the securities in certificated form; or be considered the owners of the global security under the Indenture.

 

    Payments on global securities registered in the name of the depositary will be made to the depositary. The depositary will confirm to PFC that payments made with respect to a global security will immediately be credited to the participants’ accounts according to their interests as shown on the records of the depositary. The depositary shall be solely responsible for its records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the global security and for the allocation and distribution of payments made by PFC to the depositary. (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

 

5


Table of Contents
    Each participant is responsible to make payments to the owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through that participant. Participants have the same obligation with respect to securities registered in “street name” and held for the accounts of customers. The participants shall be solely responsible for their records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the global security and for the allocation and distribution of payments made by the depositary to the participants. (See Section 308 of the Indenture).

 

    If the depositary for any global security resigns or is unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by PFC within ninety days, PFC will issue securities in certificated form in exchange for the global security. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

 

    PFC may at any time and in its sole discretion, subject to the procedures of the depositary, determine not to have the securities represented by a global security. In that event, PFC will issue securities of the same series in certificated form in exchange for the global security. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. This type of law may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

DTC Procedures

Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, DTC will act as securities depository for securities issued in book-entry form. The following is based on information furnished by DTC:

Securities in book-entry form (“Global Securities”) will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered Global Security will be issued for each issue of securities in book-entry form, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500,000,000, one Global Security will be issued with respect to each $500,000,000 of principal amount and an additional Global Security will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of the issue.

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants of DTC include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers (including agents), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of its direct participants and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchasers of securities in book-entry form under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for those securities in book-entry form on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security in book-entry form represented by a Global Security (“beneficial owner”) is, in turn, to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. Beneficial owners of securities in book-entry form will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the beneficial owner

entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in a Global Security representing securities in book-entry form are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct or indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners of a Global Security representing securities in book-entry form will not receive securities in certificated form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for such securities in book-entry form is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Global Securities representing securities in book-entry form which are deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Global Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Global Securities representing the securities in book-entry form; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such securities in book-entry form are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct or indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the securities. For example, beneficial owners may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to beneficial owners. In the alternative, beneficial owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Global Securities representing the securities in book-entry form unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to PFC as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities in book-entry form are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

PFC will make principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, payments on the Global Securities representing the securities in book-entry form in immediately available funds to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding details, on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of the applicable participant and not of DTC, PFC or the trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of PFC or the trustee, disbursement of payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

If applicable, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the securities in book-entry form of like tenor and terms are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the issue to be redeemed.

A beneficial owner will give notice of any option to elect to have its securities in book-entry form repaid by PFC, through its participant, to the trustee, and shall effect delivery of the applicable securities in book-entry form by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the Global Security in book-entry form, on DTC’s records, to the paying agent. The requirement for physical delivery of securities in book-entry form in connection with a demand for repayment will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Global Security or Securities representing the securities in book-entry form are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of the Global Security or Securities to the paying agent’s DTC account.

Table of Contents

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the securities in book-entry form at any time by giving reasonable notice to PFC or the trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, securities in certificated form are required to be printed and delivered.

PFC may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor securities depository. In that event, securities in certificated form will be printed and delivered to DTC.

The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in Global Securities.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Security, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, beneficial owners of a Global Security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by a Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by PFC or the trustee under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. PFC understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that PFC requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the desired action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the desired action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to indirect participants and by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Exchange for Securities in Certificated Form

If:

 

  (a) DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by PFC within 90 days, or

 

  (b) PFC determines that the Global Securities shall be exchangeable for securities in certificated form, or

 

  (c) An event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to the securities,

the Global Security or Global Securities will be exchangeable for securities in certificated form of like tenor and terms and of different authorized denominations aggregating an equal aggregate principal amount. The certificated securities will be registered in the name or names as DTC provides to the paying agent. It is expected that instructions may be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in Global Securities.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s system has been obtained from sources that PFC believes to be reliable, but PFC takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information.

Provisions of the Indenture

Unless the prospectus supplement states different terms for the securities being offered, the securities will be covered by the following provisions of the Indenture:

 

    principal and interest on the securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the trustee, except that payment of interest may be made at the option of PFC by check mailed to the registered address of the person entitled to the interest. (See Sections 301 and 1002 of the Indenture).

 

    the securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons. (See Section 302 of the Indenture).

 

    the securities will be denominated in United States dollars and will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. (See Sections 301 and 302 of the Indenture).

 

    the transfer of the securities will be registerable at the corporate trust office of the trustee. (See Section 305 of the Indenture).

 

    the securities may be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, as described in the “Global Securities” section above. (See Sections 203, 301 and 305 of the Indenture).

 

    securities of a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates and interest rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture. (See Section 301 of the Indenture).

 

    securities may be issued as original issue discount securities (bearing no interest or bearing interest at a rate which at the time of issue is significantly below market rates) to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. (See Section 301 of the Indenture). If any securities are issued as original issue discount securities, the terms will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the securities.

Limitation on Liens. PFC will not permit any lien or security interest on its property or on the property of its majority owned subsidiaries, except any lien or security interest existing on the date of first issuance of any securities of a series or as permitted by the Indenture. (See Section 1005 of the Indenture). The Indenture allows PFC to incur secured debt after the first date of issuance of securities of a series, if the securities of that series are secured equally and ratably with all other secured debt. The Indenture also permits PFC to incur secured debt, without providing security for the securities issued under the Indenture, in the following situations:

 

    The aggregate amount of all secured debt (excluding secured debt permitted under any of the other exceptions listed immediately below) would not exceed 15% of PFC’s Consolidated Assets.

 

    Liens or security interests on the stock or property of any corporation that existed at the time that corporation became a majority owned subsidiary of PFC.

 

    Liens or security interests for debt between PFC and its majority owned subsidiaries or between PFC’s majority owned subsidiaries.

 

    Liens or security interests in favor of any governmental body to secure progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract, statute or rule of court.

 

    Liens or encumbrances on property repossessed by PFC or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business.

 

    Bankers’ liens or other rights of offset.

 

    Liens or security interests on property, and related rentals that existed at the time of acquisition of the property, or to secure debt for the purchase price of the property or the construction on the property, or were created prior to or within 180 days after the acquisition of the property or the completion of construction, for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price of or construction on the property.

 

    Any extension, renewal or replacement of any lien or security interest described above that is limited to the same property (plus improvements on such property) that secured the prior lien or security interest.

“Consolidated Assets” means the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves for depreciation, amortization, unearned finance charges, allowance for credit losses and other properly deductible items) after deducting therefrom all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, organization expenses and other like intangibles, all as set forth on the most recent balance sheet of PFC and its consolidated majority owned subsidiaries and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Event Risks. The Indenture does not prohibit a change of control of PFC or a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction, unless the transaction or change of control includes a merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of PFC. See “—Mergers and Sales of Assets by PFC.” There are no provisions for a right to acquire any increased interests or any other rights that would afford holders of the securities additional protection in the event of a change of control of PFC or a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction. The support agreement requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of PFC and to provide financial assistance to PFC under certain circumstances. See “Relationship with PACCAR—Support Agreement.”

Mergers and Sales of Assets by PFC. PFC may consolidate or merge with any other corporation, and it may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, if the following conditions are satisfied (See Article 8 of the Indenture):

 

    The surviving corporation, if other than PFC, shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the securities issued under the Indenture and the performance and observance of the Indenture;

 

    PFC or the successor corporation shall not immediately after the transaction be in default under the Indenture; and

 

    PFC and its property shall not become subject to a lien or security interest prohibited by the Indenture.

Except as permitted above, PFC has agreed to preserve its corporate existence. (See Section 1004 of the Indenture).

Satisfaction and Discharge. PFC may discharge its obligations under the securities of a specific series (See Article Four of the Indenture) when it satisfies the following requirements with respect to the securities of that series:

 

    PFC irrevocably deposits with the trustee in trust, sufficient funds to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the securities, or if the securities are payable in United States dollars, the amount of direct obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States as will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the securities;

 

    PFC pays all other sums payable on the securities, and

 

    if the deposit identified above occurs more than one year prior to the maturity or redemption of the securities, notice has been given to the holders of the securities, and the trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that the deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the holders of the securities of income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent the deposit, satisfaction and discharge.

Upon discharge, the holders of the securities of the specific series will no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of the securities. The holders shall be paid only from the deposited funds or obligations.

Table of Contents

Events of Default. The following are Events of Default under the Indenture (see Section 501 of the Indenture) with respect to the securities of any series:

 

    a default in the payment of principal of or any premium on any security of that series when due;

 

    a default in the payment of any interest on any security of that series when due and continuance of such default for 30 days;

 

    a default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due in respect of any security of that series;

 

    a default in the performance of any other covenant of PFC in the Indenture other than a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of securities other than that series, and continuance of that default for 90 days after written notice;

 

    a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument evidencing indebtedness of PFC, including the Indenture, which has resulted in the acceleration of indebtedness in excess of $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount except that this amount shall not apply in respect to a default on securities of another series covered by the Indenture and the acceleration shall not have been rescinded or the indebtedness discharged within a period of 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture;

 

    an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization as defined in the Indenture (a “bankruptcy event”); and

 

    any other event of default provided for that series of securities.

If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of any series occurs and is continuing other than as a result of a bankruptcy event, the principal amount of all the securities of that series may be declared to be due and payable immediately by written notice as provided in the Indenture. If the securities of that series are original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series may be declared due and payable. This declaration may be made by either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may, under the circumstances described in the Indenture, rescind and annul the acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of any series occurs and is continuing as a result of the occurrence of a bankruptcy event, the principal amount (or, in the case of original issue discount securities, the portion thereof specified in the terms of that series) of all the securities of that series shall automatically become due and payable. (See Section 502 of the Indenture).

The trustee has the duty to act with the required standard of care during an Event of Default. The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under, or in relation to, the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. (See Section 603 of the Indenture). Subject to the provisions for the indemnification of the trustee and other conditions specified in the Indenture (see Section 512 of the Indenture), the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of:

 

    conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or

 

    exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the securities of that series.

The right of a holder of any security to institute a proceeding with respect to the Indenture is subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. (See Section 507 of the Indenture). Each holder has an absolute right to receive payment of principal, premium and interest, if any, when due and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. (See Section 508 of the Indenture). The Indenture provides that the trustee is required to give the holders of the securities of any series written notice of any default within 90 days after the occurrence of the default, unless previously cured or waived. In the case of default in the payment of principal, premium or interest, or in the payment of any sinking fund or redemption installment, the trustee may withhold the notice of default if it determines it is in the interest of such holders to do so. (See Section 602 of the Indenture).

Table of Contents

PFC is required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the performance by PFC of its obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in its performance. (See Section 1006 of the Indenture).

Modification and Waiver. PFC and the trustee may amend the Indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of each series affected by the amendment. (See Section 902 of the Indenture). The Indenture may not be amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding security adversely affected if the amendment:

 

    changes the stated maturity date of the principal or interest on any security;

 

    reduces the principal, premium or rate of interest on any security;

 

    changes the method for determination of the rate of interest on any security so as to adversely affect the interests of the holder;

 

    changes the premium payable upon the redemption of any security;

 

    reduces the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the original issue discount security;

 

    changes the place or currency of payment of principal, premium or interest on any security;

 

    impairs the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any security; or

 

    reduces the percentage of holders whose consent is required for amendment of the Indenture, waiver of compliance with the Indenture or waiver of defaults under the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting PFC and the trustee, without notice to or the consent of the holders of any securities issued thereunder, to modify or amend the Indenture. (See Section 901 of the Indenture). Such amendment may be effected, for among other reasons, in order to:

 

    evidence the succession of another corporation to PFC and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of PFC contained in the Indenture and the securities;

 

    add to PFC’s covenants for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of securities issued under the Indenture or to surrender any right or power conferred upon PFC with respect to all or any series of securities issued under the Indenture;

 

    add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of securities issued under the Indenture;

 

    secure the securities;

 

    establish the form or terms of securities of any series;

 

    evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor trustee with respect to the securities of one or more series and add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by more than one trustee; or

 

    cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with other provisions or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of any series of securities issued thereunder.

Table of Contents

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of each series may, on behalf of all holders of securities of that series:

 

    waive compliance by PFC with some restrictive provisions of the Indenture (see Section 1007 of the Indenture), and

 

    waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to securities of that series (see Section 513 of the Indenture), except for a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest, or in respect of a covenant or condition which cannot be waived without the consent of each holder of securities of that series.

Regarding the Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. serves as trustee under the Indenture. Affiliates of the trustee may engage in transactions with and perform services for PFC and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, affiliates of the trustee may engage in commercial banking transactions with PFC and its affiliates. An affiliate of the trustee is a lender under our credit facility agreements.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

U N ITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the securities and is the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP , our tax counsel, insofar as it relates to matters of U.S. federal income tax law and legal conclusions with respect to those matters. The opinion of our counsel is dependent on the accuracy of representations made by us to them. Any special U.S. federal income tax considerations, not otherwise discussed herein, which are applicable to any particular issue of securities will be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), court decisions and administrative interpretations, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus, and which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to differing interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described below.

This discussion is limited to persons who hold securities as capital assets for tax purposes. This discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be important to you in light of your particular circumstances nor does it purport to deal with persons subject to special tax rules, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities or currencies, persons holding securities as a hedge against currency risks or as a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging” or “conversion” transaction for tax purposes, or persons whose functional currency is not the United States dollar. In addition, this discussion is limited to the original purchasers of securities who purchase securities at the issue price (as defined below), except where otherwise specifically noted.

If you are considering the purchase of securities, you should consult your own tax advisor concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the securities arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

As used in this prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a security that is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust that either is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all of its substantial decisions or has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

As used herein, the term “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a security (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. Holder.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of any security, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership generally will depend upon the status of such partner and the activities of such partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding securities, you should consult your own tax advisor as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you.

U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest

Except as set forth below, payments of interest on a security, including “qualified stated interest” (as defined below), generally will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting).

Table of Contents

Discount Securities

Securities issued with original issue discount (“Discount Securities”) are subject to special tax accounting rules. If you own Discount Securities, you generally must include original issue discount (“OID”) in gross income before you receive the cash attributable to that income. However, you generally will not be required to include in gross income cash payments you receive on the Discount Securities to the extent those payments do not constitute “qualified stated interest.” The following summary provides more specific detail with respect to the special accounting rules applicable to Discount Securities.

A security generally will be treated as a Discount Security if its “stated redemption price at maturity” exceeds its issue price by an amount equal to or greater than a specified de minimis amount (generally  1 4 of 1% of the security’s stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to its maturity). The “ issue price ” of each security of an issue of securities equals the first price at which a substantial amount of the securities has been sold to the public. The “ stated redemption price at maturity ” of a security is the sum of all payments provided by the security other than “qualified stated interest” payments. The term “ qualified stated interest ” generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate over the entire term of the security.

Payments of qualified stated interest on a security are taxable to you as ordinary income at the time such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting). If you own a Discount Security, you must include OID in income as ordinary income as it accrues under a constant yield method in advance of receipt of the cash payments attributable to such income, regardless of your regular method of tax accounting. In general, the amount of OID included in income if you are the initial U.S. Holder of a Discount Security is the sum of the “daily portions” of OID with respect to the Discount Security for each day during the taxable year (or portion of the taxable year) on which you held the Discount Security. The “ daily portion ” of OID on any Discount Security is determined by allocating to each day in any “accrual period” a ratable portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. An “ accrual period ” may be of any length and the accrual periods may vary in length over the term of the Discount Security, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs either on the final day of an accrual period or on the first day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to each accrual period generally is equal to the excess, if any, of:

 

    the Discount Security’s “adjusted issue price” at the beginning of the accrual period multiplied by its yield to maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and appropriately adjusted to take into account the length of the particular accrual period); over

 

    the amount of any qualified stated interest payments allocable to such accrual period.

OID allocable to a final accrual period is the excess, if any, of the amount payable at maturity (other than a payment of qualified stated interest) over the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final accrual period. Special rules apply for calculating OID for an initial short accrual period. The “ adjusted issue price ” of a Discount Security at the beginning of any accrual period is the sum of the issue price of the Discount Security plus the amount of OID allocable to all prior accrual periods minus the amount of any prior payments on the Discount Security that were not qualified stated interest payments. Under these rules, you generally must include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods.

In the case of a security issued with de minimis OID, you generally must include such de minimis OID in income as stated principal payments on the securities are made in proportion to the stated principal amount of the security. Any amount of de minimis OID that you have included in income will be treated as capital gain.

You generally may elect to include in income all interest (including stated interest, acquisition discount, OID, de minimis OID, market discount, de minimis market discount, and unstated interest, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium) that accrues on a debt instrument by using the constant yield method applicable to debt instruments issued with OID, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

Table of Contents

Variable Securities

Certain securities that provide for a variable rate of interest (“Variable Securities”) are subject to special tax accounting rules. In general, a security will be a Variable Security if:

 

    its issue price does not exceed the total non-contingent principal payments due under the security by more than a specified de minimis amount; and

 

    the security provides for stated interest, compounded or paid at least annually, at “current values” of (i) one or more qualified floating rates, (ii) a single fixed rate and one or more qualified floating rates, (iii) a single objective rate, or (iii) a single fixed rate and a single objective rate that is a qualified inverse floating rate. A “ current value ” of a rate is the value of the rate on any date that is no earlier than three months prior to the first day on which that value is in effect and no later than one year following that first day.

A “ qualified floating rate ” is any variable rate where variations in the value of such rate can reasonably be expected to measure contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in the currency in which the Variable Security is denominated. Although a multiple of a qualified floating rate generally will not itself constitute a qualified floating rate, a variable rate equal to the product of a qualified floating rate and a fixed multiple that is greater than 0.65 but not more than 1.35 will constitute a qualified floating rate. A variable rate equal to the product of a qualified floating rate and a fixed multiple that is greater than 0.65 but not more than 1.35, increased or decreased by a fixed rate, will also constitute a qualified floating rate. In addition, two or more qualified floating rates that can reasonably be expected to have approximately the same values throughout the term of the Variable Security (e.g., two or more qualified floating rates with values within 25 basis points of each other as determined on the Variable Security’s issue date) will be treated as a single qualified floating rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a variable rate that would otherwise constitute a qualified floating rate but which is subject to one or more restrictions such as a maximum stated interest rate (i.e., a cap) or a minimum stated interest rate (i.e., a floor), among other things, may, under certain circumstances, fail to be treated as a qualified floating rate unless such restriction is fixed throughout the term of the security or is not reasonably expected, as of the issue date, to cause the yield on the security to be either significantly more or significantly less than the expected yield determined without such restriction.

An “ objective rate ” is a rate that is not itself a qualified floating rate but which is determined using a single fixed formula and that is based on objective financial or economic information. A rate will not qualify as an objective rate if it is based on information that is within the control of the issuer (or a related party) or that is unique to the circumstances of the issuer (or a related party), such as dividends, profits, or the value of the issuer’s stock (although a rate does not fail to qualify as an objective rate merely because it is based on the credit quality of the issuer). A “ qualified inverse floating rate ” is any objective rate where such rate is equal to a fixed rate minus a qualified floating rate, as long as variations in the rate can reasonably be expected to inversely reflect contemporaneous variations in the qualified floating rate. If a Variable Security provides for stated interest at a fixed rate for an initial period of one year or less followed by a variable rate that is either a qualified floating rate or an objective rate and if the variable rate on the Variable Security’s issue date is intended to approximate the fixed rate (e.g., the value of the variable rate on the issue date does not differ from the value of the fixed rate by more than 25 basis points), then the fixed rate and the variable rate together will constitute either a single qualified floating rate or objective rate, as the case may be.

If a Variable Security provides for stated interest at either a single qualified floating rate or a single objective rate throughout the term, and if the stated interest on such Variable Security is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually, then all stated interest on the Variable Security will constitute qualified stated interest and will be taxed accordingly. Thus, a Variable Security that provides for stated interest at either a single qualified floating rate or a single objective rate throughout the term thereof generally will not be treated as having been issued with OID unless the Variable Security is issued at a “true” discount (i.e., at a price below the Variable Security’s stated principal amount) in excess of a specified de minimis amount. The amount of qualified stated interest and the amount of OID, if any, that accrues during an accrual period on such a Variable Security is determined under the rules applicable to fixed rate debt instruments by assuming that the variable rate is a fixed rate equal to:

 

    in the case of a qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, the value as of the issue date, of the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, or

 

    in the case of an objective rate (other than a qualified inverse floating rate), a fixed rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the Variable Security.

Table of Contents

The qualified stated interest allocable to an accrual period is increased (or decreased) if the interest actually paid during an accrual period exceeds (or is less than) the interest assumed to be paid during the accrual period pursuant to the foregoing rules.

In general, any other Variable Security will be converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument for purposes of determining the amount and accrual of OID and qualified stated interest on the Variable Security by substituting any qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate provided for under the terms of the Variable Security with a fixed rate equal to the value of the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate, as the case may be, as of the Variable Security’s issue date. Any objective rate (other than a qualified inverse floating rate) provided for under the terms of the Variable Security is converted into a fixed rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the Variable Security. In the case of a Variable Security that provides for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to either one or more qualified floating rates or a qualified inverse floating rate, the fixed rate initially is converted into a qualified floating rate (or a qualified inverse floating rate, if the Variable Security provides for a qualified inverse floating rate). Under such circumstances, the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate that replaces the fixed rate must be such that the fair market value of the Variable Security as of the Variable Security’s issue date is approximately the same as the fair market value of an otherwise identical debt instrument that provides for either the qualified floating rate or qualified inverse floating rate rather than the fixed rate. Subsequent to converting the fixed rate into either a qualified floating rate or a qualified inverse floating rate, the Variable Security is then converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument in the manner described above.

Once the Variable Security is converted into an “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument pursuant to the foregoing rules, the amount of OID and qualified stated interest, if any, are determined for the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument by applying the general OID rules to the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument and you will account for such OID and qualified stated interest as if you held the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument. Each accrual period appropriate adjustments will be made to the amount of qualified stated interest or OID assumed to have been accrued or paid with respect to the “equivalent” fixed rate debt instrument in the event that such amounts differ from the actual amount of interest accrued or paid on the Variable Security during the accrual period.

If a security provides for variable or other contingent payments, but does not qualify as a Variable Security as described above, then the security would likely be treated as a contingent payment debt obligation. In general, the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a contingent payment debt instrument may substantially differ from the timing and character of income, gain or loss reported on a conventional non-contingent payment debt instrument. Specifically, if you hold a contingent payment debt obligation, you generally will be required to include future contingent and noncontingent interest payments in income as such interest accrues based upon a projected payment schedule. Moreover, any gain recognized by you on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a contingent payment debt instrument generally will be treated as ordinary income and all or a portion of any loss realized could be treated as ordinary loss as opposed to capital loss (depending upon the circumstances). If we issue contingent payment debt obligations, the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of such securities will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

Short-Term Securities

Securities that have a fixed maturity of one year or less (“Short-Term Securities”) will be treated as having been issued with OID. In general, if you are an individual or other cash method taxpayer, you will not be required to accrue such OID unless you elect to do so. If such an election is not made, any gain recognized by you on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or maturity of the Short-Term Security will be ordinary income to the extent of the OID accrued on a straight-line basis, or upon election under the constant yield method (based on daily compounding), through the date of sale or maturity, and a portion of the deductions otherwise allowable to you for interest on borrowings allocable to the Short-Term Security will be deferred until a corresponding amount of income is realized. Accrual method taxpayers, and certain other holders including banks and dealers in securities, are required to accrue OID on a Short-Term Security on a straight-line basis unless an election is made to accrue the OID under a constant yield method (based on daily compounding).

Table of Contents

Market Discount

If you purchase a security, other than a Short-Term Security, for an amount that is less than its issue price (or, in the case of a subsequent purchaser, its stated redemption price at maturity) or, in the case of a Discount Security, for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price as of the purchase date, you will be treated as having purchased the security at a “market discount,” unless such market discount is less than a specified de minimis amount.

Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any partial principal payment (or, in the case of a Discount Security, any payment that does not constitute qualified stated interest) on, or any gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of, a security as ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of (i) the amount of such payment or realized gain or (ii) the market discount which has not previously been included in income and is treated as having accrued on the security at the time of such payment or disposition.

Market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the security, unless you elect to accrue market discount on a constant yield basis. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues (on either a ratable or a constant yield basis), in which case the rules described above regarding the treatment as ordinary income of gain upon the disposition of the security and upon the receipt of certain cash payments and regarding the deferral of interest deductions will not apply. Generally, such currently included market discount is treated as ordinary income. Such an election will apply to all debt instruments acquired by you on or after the first day of the taxable year to which such election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

You may be required to defer the deduction of all or a portion of the interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry a security with market discount until the maturity of the security or certain earlier dispositions.

Amortizable Bond Premium, Acquisition Premium

If you purchase a security for an amount that is greater than the sum of all amounts payable on the security after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased the security with “amortizable bond premium” equal in amount to such excess. You generally may elect to amortize such premium using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the security and may offset interest otherwise required to be included in respect of the security during any taxable year by the amortized amount of such excess for the taxable year. However, if the security may be optionally redeemed after you acquire it at a price in excess of its stated redemption price at maturity, special rules would apply which could result in a deferral of the amortization of some bond premium. Any election to amortize bond premium will apply to all taxable debt obligations owned by you at the beginning of your first taxable year to which the election applies and thereafter acquired by you and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, the premium will decrease the amount of gain or increase the amount of loss otherwise recognized on the disposition of the security.

If you purchase a Discount Security for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price as of the purchase date and less than or equal to the sum of all amounts payable on the Discount Security after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased the Discount Security at an “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID which you must include in gross income with respect to such Discount Security for any taxable year (or portion thereof in which you hold the Discount Security) will be reduced (but not below zero) by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to the period.

Disposition of a Security

Except as discussed below, upon the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a security, you generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (other than amounts representing accrued and unpaid interest) and your adjusted tax basis in the security. Your adjusted tax basis in a security generally will equal your initial investment in the security increased by any OID, market discount or any discount with respect to a Short-Term Security that you previously

included in income, and decreased by the amount of any payments, other than qualified stated interest payments, received and amortizable bond premium taken with respect to the security. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of individuals derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are subject to reduced capital gain rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Foreign Currency Securities

As used herein, “foreign currency” means a currency other than the U.S. dollar.

Payments of Interest. If you receive interest payments made in a foreign currency and you use the cash method of accounting you will be required to include in income the U.S. dollar value of the payment received (determined by translating the foreign currency received at the spot rate for such foreign currency on the date such payment is received) regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at that time, and such U.S. dollar value will be your tax basis in such foreign currency. No exchange gain or loss will be recognized with respect to the receipt of such payment.

If you use the accrual method of accounting, or are otherwise required to accrue interest prior to receipt, you may determine the amount of income recognized with respect to an interest payment in accordance with either of two methods. Under the first method, you will be required to include in income the U.S. dollar value of the amount of interest income that has accrued and is otherwise required to be taken into account with respect to a security during an accrual period. The U.S. dollar value of such accrued income will be determined by translating such income at the average rate of exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year. Under the second method, you may elect to translate such accrued interest income using the spot rate on (i) the last day of the accrual period or (ii) with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, the last day of the taxable year. If the last day of an accrual period is within five business days of the date of receipt of the accrued interest, you may translate such interest using the spot rate on the date of receipt. The above election will apply to other debt obligations held by you and may not be changed without the consent of the IRS. You should consult a tax advisor before making the above election. Upon receipt of an interest payment, you will recognize exchange gain or loss (which will be treated as ordinary income or loss) with respect to accrued interest income on the date such income is received. The amount of ordinary income or loss recognized will equal the difference, if any, between the U.S. dollar value of the payment received (determined by translating the foreign currency received at the spot rate for such foreign currency on the date such payment is received) and the U.S. dollar value of the interest income that you previously included in income with respect to such payment.

Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Securities. If you purchase a security with previously owned foreign currency, you will recognize ordinary income or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between your tax basis in the foreign currency and the U.S. dollar fair market value of the foreign currency used to purchase the security, determined on the date of purchase.

For purposes of determining the amount of any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a security, you will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (other than amounts representing accrued and unpaid interest) and your adjusted tax basis in the security. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss (except to the extent of any accrued market discount not previously included in income) and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange, redemption or retirement the security has been held by you for more than one year. To the extent the amount realized represents accrued but unpaid interest, however, such amounts must be taken into account as interest income, with exchange gain or loss computed as described in “Payments of Interest” above.

If you receive foreign currency on such a sale, exchange, redemption or retirement, the amount realized will be based on the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency based on the spot rate for such foreign currency on the date the payment is received or the security is disposed of. If you use the cash method of accounting, and the foreign currency security is traded on an established securities market, you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the foreign currency payment at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. An accrual method taxpayer may elect the same treatment. However, such an election must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS.

Table of Contents

Your adjusted tax basis in a foreign currency security will equal the cost of the foreign currency security to you, increased by the amounts of any market discount or OID previously included in income with respect to such security and reduced by any amortized acquisition or other premium and any payments other than qualified stated interest received by the holder. Your tax basis in a foreign currency security, and the amount of any subsequent adjustments to your tax basis will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency amount paid for such security, or of the foreign currency amount of the adjustment, determined on the date of such purchase or adjustment.

Gain or loss realized upon the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a security that is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will be ordinary income or loss which will not be treated as interest income or expense. Gain or loss attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates will equal the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency principal amount of the security, determined on the date such payment is received or the security is disposed of, and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency principal amount of the security, determined on the date the you acquired the security. The foreign currency gain or loss will be recognized only to the extent of the total gain or loss realized by you on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of the security.

Original Issue Discount. In the case of a Discount Security or Short-Term Security denominated in or determined by reference to a foreign currency, OID is determined for any accrual period first in units of the foreign currency, and then translated into U.S. dollars as described in “Payments of Interest” above. You will recognize exchange gain or loss when OID is paid (including upon the sale of a security, the receipt of proceeds that include amounts attributable to OID previously included in income) to the extent of the difference between the U.S. dollar of such payment (determined by translating the foreign currency received at the spot rate for such foreign currency on the date such payment is received) and the U.S. dollar value of the accrued OID, as determined above. For these purposes, all receipts on a security will be viewed first, as the receipt of any qualified stated interest payments called for under the terms of the security; second, as the receipt of previously accrued OID (to the extent thereof), with payments considered made for the earliest accrual periods first; and third, as the receipt of principal.

Premium and Market Discount. In the case of a security with market discount, market discount is first determined in units of the foreign currency, and then, upon the receipt of any partial principal payment or upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of the security (other than accrued market discount required to be taken into account currently) is translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate for such foreign currency on the date of such partial principal payment or such disposition date (and no part of such accrued market discount is treated as exchange gain or loss). If you have elected to accrue market discount currently, the amount includible in your income for any accrual period is translated into U.S. dollars on the basis of the average exchange rate in effect during such accrual period, and the exchange gain or loss is determined upon the receipt of any partial principal payment or upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of the security in the manner described in “Payments of Interest” above with respect to the computation of exchange gain or loss on accrued interest.

With respect to a security acquired with amortizable bond premium, if an election is made to amortize the premium, such premium is computed in the relevant foreign currency and reduces interest income in units of the foreign currency. Although not entirely clear, you should recognize exchange gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the bond premium amortized with respect to a period, determined on the date the interest attributable to such period is received, and the U.S. dollar value of the bond premium determined on the date of the acquisition of the security. If you elect not to amortize bond premium, you must translate the bond premium computed in the foreign currency into U.S. dollars at the spot rate on the maturity date and such bond premium will constitute a capital loss which may be offset or eliminated by exchange gain.

Exchange of Foreign Currencies . Your tax basis in any foreign currency received as interest is equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency, determined at the spot rate for such foreign currency at the time the foreign currency is received. Your tax basis in any foreign currency received on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a security will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency, determined at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement. As discussed above, if the foreign currency securities are traded on an established securities market, and you use the cash method of accounting (or you use the accrual method of accounting and so elect), you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency by translating the foreign currency received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement.

Table of Contents

Any gain or loss realized by you on a sale or other disposition of foreign currency (including its exchange for U.S. dollars or its use to purchase securities) will be ordinary income or loss and generally will be U.S. source gain or loss.

Tax Return Disclosure Regulations .

Pursuant to Treasury regulations (the “Disclosure Regulations”) “reportable transactions” are required to be reported to the IRS. For purposes of the Disclosure Regulations, “reportable transactions” can include a sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a foreign currency security or foreign currency received in respect of a foreign currency security to the extent that such sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition results in a tax loss in excess of a certain threshold amount. Failure to disclose a “reportable transaction” with your U.S. federal income tax return will result in significant penalties: $10,000 in the case of an individual and $50,000 in any other case. If you are considering the purchase of foreign currency securities, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the potential application of the Disclosure Regulations to the securities.

Other Securities

Any other special U.S. federal income tax considerations, not otherwise discussed herein, which are applicable to any particular issue of securities will be discussed in any applicable supplement to this prospectus.

Medicare Tax

If you are an individual, estate or trust, you generally will be subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including interest income (including OID, if any) and gain from the disposition of the securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains from the securities.

Non-U.S. Holders

If you are a non-U.S. Holder holding securities on your own behalf, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on payments of principal, premium (if any) or interest (including OID, if any) on a security, provided that

 

    any such payment is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States;

 

    such interest is not described in section 871(h)(4) of the Code (which excludes certain types of contingent interest from the definition of “portfolio interest”); or

 

    you are not a direct or indirect 10% or greater shareholder of PFC, a controlled foreign corporation related to PFC or a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code.

In addition, you must either (i) you provide your name and address on an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable form and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a U.S. person, or (ii) you hold your securities through certain foreign intermediaries and satisfy certification requirements of the applicable Treasury Regulations. Special certification requirements apply to non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest, including OID, made to you will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed:

 

    IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable form claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty; or

 

    IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that the interest paid on the debt securities is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

 

21


Table of Contents

If your income with respect to your investment in a security is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States), you generally would be exempt from the withholding tax discussed above, provided you provide an IRS Form W-8ECI. However, your income with respect to your investment in the security generally would be taxed on a net income basis as if you were a U.S. person. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United States, you may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax.

Generally, if you are a non-U.S. Holder, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on any amount which constitutes capital gain upon retirement or disposition of a security, unless (i) that gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met.

If you are an individual non-U.S. Holder, your estate generally will not be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if payments to you on the security would be exempt from tax, as described above, ignoring the certification requirement otherwise required for exemption.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

A withholding tax of 30% currently is imposed on interest income (including OID), and will be imposed on the gross proceeds from a disposition of securities paid after December 31, 2018, to (i) a foreign financial institution, unless such foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding certain U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or (ii) a non-financial foreign entity, unless such non-financial foreign entity provides certain certification or information relating to U.S. ownership of the entity. Under certain circumstances, such foreign persons may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this withholding tax.

Backup Withholding

In general, if you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, payments of principal, interest (including OID) and premium paid on securities and the proceeds of the disposition of a security paid to you will be subject to information reporting requirements. These payments also may be subject to backup withholding if you:

 

    fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status;

 

    have been notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest or corporate distributions required to be shown on your U.S. federal income tax return; or

 

    in certain circumstances, fail to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding on payments made to them by certifying their status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, you generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against your liability for U.S. federal income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return with the IRS.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

A provision of the Washington Business Corporation Act (Section 23B.08.310 of the Revised Code of Washington) provides that a director held liable under that section for an unlawful distribution is entitled to contribution (a) from every other director who could be held liable under that section and (b) from each shareholder for the amount the shareholder accepts knowing the distribution was made in violation of the Washington Business Corporation Act or the corporation’s articles of incorporation.

Provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act (Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Revised Code of Washington) authorize, and in some instances require, a corporation’s board of directors to grant, or a court to award, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. Article Nine of the registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides:

“The Corporation shall indemnify any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or any person who may have served at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation in which it owns shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such director, officer, or employee, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. The Corporation may also reimburse to any director, officer or employee the reasonable costs of settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding, if it shall be found by a majority of a committee composed of the directors not involved in the matter in controversy (whether or not a quorum) that it was to the interest of the Corporation that such settlement be made and that such director, officer or employee was not guilty of negligence or misconduct. Such rights of indemnification and reimbursement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer or employee may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.”

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, under which PACCAR is incorporated, PACCAR is in certain circumstances permitted, and in other circumstances may be required, to indemnify persons serving at the request of PACCAR as a director or officer of another corporation against certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and other amounts paid in connection with certain threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions, suits or proceedings, in which such persons were or are parties, or are threatened to be made parties, by reason of the fact that such persons were or are directors or officers of the registrant. Article Twelfth of the Certificate of Incorporation of PACCAR contains provisions consistent with Section 145 with respect to indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors.

Reference is made to Section 7 of the form of the distribution agreement filed as exhibit 1.1 to the registration statement and Section VIII of the form of the selling agent agreement filed as exhibit 1.2 to the registration statement for provisions regarding the indemnification of the registrant, its directors, certain of its officers and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

PACCAR maintains directors’ and officers’ liability and corporate reimbursement insurance with limits of $175,000,000 per policy year, under which the registrant’s directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined) as a result of claims brought against them for their wrongful acts in such capacities.

Item 16. Exhibits.

The exhibits to the registration statement required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K are listed in the accompanying index to exhibits.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-2


Table of Contents

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the

Table of Contents

registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 1.1

PACCAR FINANCIAL CORP.

Medium-Term Notes, Series O

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

November 5, 2015

To the several Agents

who are signatories hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

PACCAR Financial Corp., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue from time to time its Medium-Term Notes, Series O (the “Securities”) to be issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of November 20, 2009 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). This Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) provides both for the sale of Securities by the Company directly to purchasers through the Agents, in which case the Agents will act as agents of the Company in soliciting Security purchasers, and (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Company and the Agents) to the Agents as principals for resale to purchasers. Additional terms of any sale of Securities to the Agents as principals will be set out in a Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) relating to such sale, all as more fully provided herein.

Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and subject to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Securities directly to investors on its own behalf or to one or more underwriters for resale to the public, the Company hereby (i) appoints the Agents as agents of the Company for the purpose of soliciting purchases of the Securities from the Company by others, (ii) agrees that it will sell Securities only to or through the Agents or other agents appointed from time to time by the Company pursuant to agreements having terms not more favorable to such agents or the Company than the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) agrees that whenever the Company determines to sell Securities directly to the Agents as principals for resale to others, it will enter into a Terms Agreement relating to such sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof. The Company shall give the Agents prior notice of the appointment of any additional agents for the purpose of soliciting purchasers of the Securities. The Company will notify each Agent of the amount of Securities from time to time remaining unsold and of such other information as may be reasonably necessary to prevent inadvertent solicitations for sales in excess of the amount of Securities then remaining unsold.

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company represents and warrants as of the date hereof (unless otherwise set forth below), as of the time of each acceptance by the Company of any offer for the purchase of any Securities (whether to an Agent as principal or through an Agent as agent) (each such time being an “Applicable Time”), as of the date of each delivery of the Securities (the date of each such delivery to an Agent as principal or through an Agent as agent is referred to as a “Settlement Date”), and as of any time that the Registration Statement (as defined below) or the Prospectus (as defined below) shall be amended or supplemented, and as of the times referred to in Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) hereof (each of the times referenced above is referred to herein as a “Representation Date”), as follows:

(i) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-[●]) which provides for the registration of the Securities, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to any acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

(ii) Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and the final prospectus and all applicable amendments or supplements thereto (including the final prospectus supplement and pricing supplement relating to the offering of Securities), in the form furnished to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, is herein called the “Prospectus;” provided, however, that all references to the “Registration Statement,” the “Prospectus” and the “preliminary prospectus” shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A “preliminary prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to any prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or pricing supplement used before the acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities which omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

(iii) (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule

 

2


163”) and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 405”), and has not been and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405; the Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, and the Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement”; and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(iv) The Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on November 5, 2015, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

(v) At the respective times that the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto (including the filing of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”)) became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Agents pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Rules and Regulations and at each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act (the “Trust Indenture Act Regulations”) and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(vi) The Prospectus and each preliminary prospectus and prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, when so filed, complied or will comply in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations; each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of Securities are identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T; and at the date hereof, at the date of the Prospectus and at each Representation Date, neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(vii) Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Securities made prior to the filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption

provided by Rule 163 and such offer otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including, without limitation, the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the Act provided by Rule 163.

As of the Applicable Time, neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below) made available by the Company for use by the applicable Agent(s) as of the Applicable Time and the applicable Final Term Sheet (as defined in Section 3(d) hereof), if any, relating to the offering of the Securities, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:

“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 433”), relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a “road show” that constitutes a written communication within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors.

“Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus.

“Statutory Prospectus” means (i) the prospectus relating to various securities of the Company, including the Securities, that is included in the Registration Statement and (ii) the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities and any preliminary pricing supplement relating to the Securities of a particular series.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Agents as described in Section 3(k), did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the General Disclosure

Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Agent expressly for use therein.

(viii) The Company is not in violation of its corporate charter or bylaws; except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company is not in default in the observance or performance of any obligation, agreement, indenture or instrument, except for any such default or defaults that would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, and compliance by the Company with the provisions of the Securities and the Indenture, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not conflict with, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a default in the observance or performance of, any agreement, indenture or instrument, or result in a violation of the corporate charter or bylaws of the Company or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties, the effect of which conflict, lien, charge, encumbrance, default or violation would result in a material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities. Except as required by the Act, the Trust Indenture Act, the Exchange Act and applicable state securities laws, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, any applicable Terms Agreement and the Indenture or in connection with the sale of Securities hereunder, the failure to obtain which consent, authorization or order or make which filing or registration would result in a material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under, and consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities. The Company has no subsidiaries within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations.

(ix) From the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and except as described therein (a) there has not been any material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, results of operations, management or prospects of the Company, (b) there has been no material transaction entered into by the Company other than those in the ordinary course of business, (c) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on its capital stock, except as disclosed in the financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package and (d) there has been no amendment to the support agreement between the Company and PACCAR Inc (“PACCAR”) as amended and restated on June 19, 1989.

SECTION 2. Agents.

(a) Solicitations as Agent . On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Agent agrees, as agent of the Company, to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. The Agents shall not appoint sub-agents. The Agents are authorized to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities purchased by the Agents as principal for resale to others, and the Agents may allow any portion of the discount they have received in connection with such purchases from the Company to such brokers or dealers.

 

9


The Agents shall offer the Securities at such times, in such amounts and maturities and at such rates of interest as the Company shall authorize, but the Company shall not approve the solicitation of purchases of Securities in excess of the amount which shall be authorized by the Company from time to time or in excess of the principal amount of Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Agent will have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate principal amount of Securities sold, or of otherwise monitoring the availability of Securities for sale under the Registration Statement. The Agents shall furnish a copy of the Prospectus to each offeree to the extent required by the Act. The Agents shall not offer to sell to or solicit offers to buy from any person in any state or jurisdiction otherwise than in conformity with the Blue Sky Memorandum referred to in Section 4.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities, commencing at any time, for a period of time or permanently. Promptly after receipt of telephonic, or written notice from the Company, the Agents will suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities from the Company until such time as the Company has advised them that such solicitation may be resumed. Following any such notice, until such time as the Company shall notify the Agents, telephonically or in writing, to recommence solicitation of purchases of the Securities, the Company shall not be required to comply with the requirements of Sections 6(b), 6(c) and 6(d) hereof. Promptly after providing telephonic or written notice to the Agents to recommence such solicitation, the Company shall provide to the Agents such certificates, opinions and letters as generally described in Sections 6(b), 6(c) and 6(d) as the Agents may reasonably request or as may be specified in any applicable Terms Agreement.

Promptly upon the closing of the sale of any Securities, the Company agrees to pay the appropriate Agent a commission (or allow such Agent a discount) in the currency in which such Securities are denominated equal to a percentage of the principal amount of each of the Securities sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent during the term of this Agreement as set forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other amount as shall be agreed between the Company and such Agent and set forth in the pricing supplement relating to such Securities.

The Agents are authorized to solicit orders for the Securities in such denominations (in U.S. dollars or in another currency), upon such terms and at such prices as the Company shall authorize and shall be set forth in a pricing supplement to the Prospectus to be prepared following each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities. Unless otherwise specifically authorized, the Agents shall solicit orders only for the purchase of Securities (i) at 100 percent of their principal amount and (ii) denominated in U.S. dollars in the amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. Each Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Securities received by it as Agent. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Securities and may in its absolute discretion reject any such offer in whole or in part. The Company shall have no liability to any Agent for any commission for its rejection of any offer or its failure to consummate any sale. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any offer to purchase the Securities received by it in whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreement contained herein.

 

10


(b) Purchases as Principal . Each sale of Securities to an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms contained herein and (unless the Company and the Agent shall otherwise agree) in a separate agreement which will provide for the sale of such Securities to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof by, the Agent. Each such separate agreement (which may be an oral agreement) between an Agent and the Company is herein referred to as a “Terms Agreement.” Unless the context otherwise requires, each reference contained herein to “this Agreement” shall be deemed to include any applicable Terms Agreement between the Company and an Agent. Each such Terms Agreement, whether oral or in writing, shall be with respect to such information (as applicable) as is specified in Exhibit A hereto. An Agent’s commitment to purchase Securities as principal pursuant to any Terms Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify (i) the principal amount of Securities to be purchased by such Agent pursuant thereto, (ii) the price to be paid to the Company for such Securities (which shall be at a discount, if any, as specified in a Terms Agreement), (iii) the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Securities, (iv) any provisions relating to the rights of and any default by any broker or dealer acting together with such Agent in the reoffering of the Securities, and (v) such other provisions (including further terms of the Securities) as may be mutually agreed upon. The Agents may utilize a selling or dealer group in connection with the resale of the Securities purchased and may reallow to any broker or dealer any portion of the discount or commission payable pursuant hereto. Such Terms Agreement shall also specify the requirements for the stand-off agreement, officer’s certificate, opinions of counsel and comfort letter pursuant to Sections 3(l), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d), 5(f) and 5(g) hereof.

Securities to be purchased by an Agent as principal are herein called the “Purchased Securities.” Purchased Securities will be represented by a global certificate (the “Book-Entry Securities”) registered in the name of the depositary (the “Depositary”) specified in the Prospectus or by certificates issued in definitive form (the “Certificated Securities”). Delivery of Certificated Securities shall be made to the Agent and delivery of Book-Entry Securities shall be made to the Trustee as agent for the Depositary for the account of the Agent, in either case, against payment by the Agent of the purchase price to or upon the order of the Company in the funds specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. Certificated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Agent may request not less than two full business days prior to the applicable Closing Date (as defined below). The Company will have Certificated Securities available for inspection, checking and packaging by the Agent in the city in which delivery and payment is to occur, not later than 2 p.m., on the business day prior to the applicable Closing Date.

 

11


If the Company and two or more Agents enter into an agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Securities from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the nondefaulting Agents shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

 

  (a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Closing Date, the nondefaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial underwriting obligations bear to the underwriting obligations of all nondefaulting Agents; or

 

  (b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Closing Date, such agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Agent.

No action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such agreement, either the nondefaulting Agents or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

(c) Administrative Procedures . Administrative procedures respecting the sale of Securities shall be agreed upon from time to time by the Agents and the Company (the “Procedures”). The several Agents and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each of them herein and in the Procedures.

(d) Closing Date . The documents required to be delivered by Section 5 hereof shall be delivered at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP , 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, on the date hereof or, with respect to any particular Agent, such other date and time as such Agent and the Company may agree upon in writing (the “Closing Date”).

(e) Other Debt Securities . Nothing contained herein, other than Section 3(l) hereof, shall limit the right of the Company to authorize and issue debt securities, including medium-term notes other than the Securities, under the Indenture or otherwise.

(f) Reliance . The Company and the Agents agree that any Securities the placement of which the Agents arrange shall be placed by the Agents, and any Securities purchased by an Agent shall be purchased, in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.

 

SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees:

12


of the General Disclosure Package and each Prospectus with respect to the Securities filed with the Commission, including all supplements thereto and all documents incorporated therein by reference, and all consents and exhibits filed therewith. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and the Prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto so furnished to the Agents will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(b) To deliver promptly to each Agent such number of the following documents as each Agent may reasonably request: (i) conformed copies of the Registration Statement (excluding exhibits other than the computation of the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, the Indenture and this Agreement), (ii) the General Disclosure Package and Prospectus with respect to the Securities, and (iii) any documents incorporated by reference in any Prospectus with respect to the Securities (excluding exhibits).

(c) To file with the Commission, during any period in which any Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any new registration statement or any Prospectus that is required by the Act or the Rules and Regulations, and all documents, and any amendments to previously filed documents, required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(d) Prior to filing with the Commission during any period in which the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Securities (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 of the Act) (i) any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and any new registration statement, (ii) any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (iii) any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or any amendment of or supplement to any such incorporated document, to furnish a copy thereof to the counsel for the Agents and to allow the Agents and counsel for the Agents a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and, between the date of delivery of any Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, not to file any such document to which the applicable Agent reasonably objects. Unless otherwise notified by the Agents, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of an offering of Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 prior to the close of business within two days following the date such final terms are established.

(e) To advise each Agent promptly (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to or covering the Securities becomes effective, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the filing of any new registration statement or any Prospectus, to any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or any order directed to any Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or the initiation or threat of any stop order proceeding or of any challenge by the Commission to the accuracy or adequacy of any document incorporated by reference in any Prospectus or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Act concerning the Registration

 

13


Statement, (v) of receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, (vi) of the occurrence of any event which causes the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or the General Disclosure Package or any Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (vii) any change in the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) to the Program or any debt securities (including the Securities) of the Company, or the public announcement by any NRSRO that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Program or any such debt securities, or the withdrawal by an NRSRO of its rating of the Program or any such debt securities. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any pricing supplement) transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus (including, without limitation, any pricing supplement). The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(f) To pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the Rules and Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Rules and Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

(g) To make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 90 days after each twelve-month period identified below, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act, which need not be certified by independent certified public accountants unless required by the Act or the Rules and Regulations) covering the twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the fiscal quarter next following each date which (i) under Section 11(a) of the Act and the Rules and Regulations is an effective date of the Registration Statement for purposes of said Section 11(a), and (ii) is not later than the last sale hereunder; provided that such delivery requirement shall be deemed met by the Company’s compliance with its reporting requirements pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder.

(h) So long as any of the Securities are outstanding, to furnish to each Agent not later than the time the Company makes the same generally available to others, copies of all reports and financial statements furnished by the Company to any securities exchange on which the Securities are listed pursuant to requirements of or agreements with such exchange or to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission thereunder to the extent that such reports and financial statements are not publicly available on EDGAR.

 

14


(i) To endeavor, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as we may agree upon and to maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so qualified, to file any general consent to service of process, or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already subject to taxation. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been qualified as above provided.

(j) To prepare, with respect to any Securities to be sold through or to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement, a pricing supplement with respect to such Securities in a form previously approved by the Agents and to file the Prospectus, including such pricing supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) (or any rule succeeding or replacing such rule) under the Act within the time periods required therein.

(k) Subject to Section 3(d), if at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or any condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel for the Company, to further amend or supplement the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package in order that the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of either of such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or to file a new registration statement in order to comply with the requirements of the Act or the Rules and Regulations, immediate notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities in the Agents’ capacity as agent and to cease sales of any Securities the Agents may then own as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement or a new registration statement, whether by filing documents pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Act or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, any new registration statement and Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package comply with such requirements. The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this subsection during any period from the time (i) the Agents shall have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Securities in their capacity as agents pursuant to a request from the Company and (ii) the Agents shall not then hold any Securities as principal purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement, to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation of purchases of the Securities should be resumed or shall subsequently enter into a new Terms Agreement with the Agents. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Securities or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Agents and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

 

15


(l) If provided in a Terms Agreement, between the date of such Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, to not offer or sell, or enter into any agreement to sell, any debt securities of the Company (other than the Securities that are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement and commercial paper for other short-term debt with an original maturity of 270 days or less in the ordinary course of business) without such Agent’s prior consent.

(m) To use the net proceeds received by it from the issuance and sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(n) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Agents, and each Agent represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission; provided, however, that prior to the preparation of the Final Term Sheet in accordance with Section 3(d), the Agents are authorized to use the information with respect to the final terms of the applicable Securities in communications conveying information relating to the applicable offering of Securities to investors. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Agent(s) is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping; provided, however, that any such treatment shall not convert a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus that would not otherwise constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus into an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus solely due to such treatment. Any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall be considered to be an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Agents.

 

SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses.

The Company will pay (i) the costs incident to its authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection, (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Act of the Registration Statement, any new registration statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto, (iii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing of any document and any amendments and exhibits thereto required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, (iv) the costs of furnishing to the Agents copies of the Registration Statement filed and each amendment and post-effective amendment thereof (including exhibits), any preliminary prospectus, Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing documents, (v) the fees and disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, (vi) the cost of any filings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., in respect of the Securities, (vii) the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company, (viii) any fees

 

16


payable to rating agencies in connection with the rating of the Securities, (ix) the fees and expenses of qualifying the Securities under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in this Agreement and of preparing and printing a Blue Sky Memorandum and a memorandum concerning the legality of the Securities as an investment (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agents in connection therewith), and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

In addition, the Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of Sidley Austin LLP , counsel for the Agents in connection with the sale of the Securities.

19


the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and each of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and, if this opinion is required by an agreement by an Agent to purchase Notes as principal, the General Disclosure Package (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information contained therein) appear on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company.

(viii) The information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “United States Federal Income Taxation,” to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects; and our opinion set forth under “United States Federal Income Taxation” is confirmed.

(ix) Such counsel shall also confirm that although such counsel assumes no responsibility for the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements (other than as set forth in paragraphs (i) and (viii) above and subject to the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications set forth in such counsel’s opinion) made in (a) the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, (b) the General Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, (c) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (d) the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that:

 

  a.

the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein and that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1, as to which such counsel makes no statement) at the time the Registration Statement or such amendment or

 

20


  supplement became effective contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

 

  b. if this opinion is required by any agreement by an Agent to purchase Notes as principal, the General Disclosure Package (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel makes no statement) as of the Applicable Time contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

 

  c. the Prospectus (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel makes no statement) as of its date and as of the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) At the Closing Date, the Agents shall have received the opinion, dated as of the delivery date thereof, of Sidley Austin  LLP , counsel to the Agents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents. In addition, at each Settlement Date with respect to any applicable Terms Agreement to which one or more Agents is a party, if called for by such Terms Agreement, such Agent or Agents shall have received the opinion, dated as of the delivery date thereof, of Sidley Austin  LLP , counsel to the Agents, in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent or Agents.

(e) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Agents shall have been furnished such other documents, certificates and opinions as they may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them or Sidley Austin LLP , counsel for the Agents, to determine the accuracy, completeness or satisfaction of any of the representations, warranties or conditions herein contained.

(f) At each Closing Date, the Agents shall have received a certificate of the President, a Vice President, the General Manager, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Company to the effect that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the conditions set forth in Section 5 (a) and (h) have been satisfied, and as to the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein.

(g) The Company has furnished to the Agents on the Closing Date a letter of Ernst & Young LLP, addressed to the Agents and dated the Closing Date, confirming that they are independent auditors within the meaning of the Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, and stating, as of the date of such letter (or with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as of a date not more than three

 

21


business days prior to the date of such letter), the conclusions and findings of such accountants with respect to such financial information and other matters as reasonably requested by the Agents.

(h) No order suspending the sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction designated pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof shall have been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the purchasing Agent or the Company, shall be contemplated.

If any conditions specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects, the agency of any Agent under this Agreement may be terminated by such Agent by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of either the Company or such Agent, except with respect to any unpaid commission then owing to such Agent by the Company and except that Sections 3(h), 4, 7, 9 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

 

SECTION 6. Additional Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees that:

(a) Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities through an Agent, and each delivery of Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, shall be deemed to be an affirmation to such Agent that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in any certificate theretofore delivered to such Agent pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Securities relating to such acceptance, as though made at and as of each such time (it being understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to each such time).

(b) Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, manner of determining interest rates, interest payment dates or maturities of the Securities or a change in the principal amount of Securities remaining to be sold or similar changes or a supplement to the Prospectus in the form previously furnished to the Agents relating to a sale of securities otherwise than through an Agent) or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each Agent promptly a certificate of the President, a Vice President, the General Manager, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Company to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 5(f) hereof which was last furnished to such Agent are true and correct at the time of such amendment or supplement or filing (or the Closing Date), as the case may be, as though

 

22


made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section 5(f), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

(c) Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, manner of determining interest rates, interest payment dates or maturities of the Securities remaining to be sold or similar changes or a supplement to the Prospectus in the form previously furnished to the Agents relating to the sale of securities otherwise than through an Agent) or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall cause to be furnished promptly to each Agent and its counsel the written opinion or opinions of Counsel of PACCAR and the Company, and/or, at the option of the Company, of Perkins Coie LLP , dated the date of delivery of such opinion or opinions, of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Sections 5(b) and 5(c) hereof, but modified as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion or opinions; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion or opinions, counsel may furnish a letter to the effect that the Agents may rely on a prior opinion of such counsel which was to the same effect as the opinion in lieu of which such letter is given to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d) Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented to include additional financial information or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus which contains additional financial information or (if required pursuant to the terms of a Terms Agreement) the Company sells Securities to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall cause Ernst & Young LLP promptly to furnish each Agent a letter, dated the date of filing of such amendment, supplement or document with the Commission or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to each Agent, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(g) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter, with such changes as may be necessary to reflect changes in the financial statements and other information derived from the accounting records of the Company; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, Ernst & Young LLP may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement unless there is contained therein any other accounting, financial or statistical information that, in the reasonable judgment of an Agent, should be covered by such letter.

SECTION 7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each person, if any, who at the written request of such Agent and with the consent of the Company is participating with such Agent as the Company’s agent in the distribution of the Securities who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act with respect to the distribution of the Securities (the “Participants”) and each director, officer, affiliate or other person, if any, who controls such Agent or any Participant within the meaning of the Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to which such Agent or such Participant or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, General Disclosure Package or any Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such Agent, each such Participant, and each such controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred, as they are incurred, by it in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement or any Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further, that this indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Agent, any Participant, or any director, officer or other person, if any, controlling such Agent or any Participant, on account of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of Securities to any person by such Agent or such Participant if (i) prior to the Applicable Time for such Securities, the Company shall have notified such Agent that the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package has been amended, that such amendment is a material change and that such Agent must use such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package, in lieu of the prior Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package, and, prior to the Applicable Time for such Securities, the Company shall have filed such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package with the Commission, (ii) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package was conveyed to such Agent sufficiently in advance of the Applicable Time so that such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package could have been conveyed to such person prior to the Applicable Time, (iii) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such person prior to the Applicable Time, and (iv) such amended Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or General Disclosure Package would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, liabilities, costs or claims. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Agent or any Participant or any controlling person.

(b) Each Agent shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, and any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such

 

24


director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement, or any Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred, as they are incurred, by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Agent may otherwise have to the Company or any of its directors, officers or controlling persons.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a separate counsel and one local counsel to represent such indemnified party who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party under this Section if, in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel or such local counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense of such action or additional or different defenses such that the counsel retained by the indemnifying party to defend the indemnified party in such action cannot adequately represent the interests of the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expense of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any claim or action settled without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the

 

25


plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section shall for any reason (other than as specified herein) be unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party from the offering of the Securities, the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and an Agent on the other with respect to an offering shall be determined in light of the relation of the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company to the total commissions received by the Agent with respect to such offering. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by an Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Purchased Securities were offered by it to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which it shall have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Each Agent represents for purposes of Sections 7(a) and 7(b) that it has received a copy of the form of Prospectus the Company proposes to file with the Commission with respect to the Securities and that the Agent will be soliciting offers to purchase the Securities (subject to the conditions hereof) for sale as described therein.

 

26


SECTION 8. Assistance by the Agents.

Each Agent will make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities from the Company has been solicited by the Agent and accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall have no liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason.

 

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations and warranties of the Company and the Agents contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Securities.

 

SECTION 10. Termination.

(a) Termination of this Agreement . This Agreement shall terminate when the Agents shall have been advised by the Company that all of the Securities have been sold and the purchase price therefor has been paid and the Securities delivered to the purchasers thereof. This Agreement may be terminated (except with respect to offers to purchase Securities which have been accepted by the Company or a Terms Agreement has been executed) for any reason, at any time, by either the Company or such Agent, upon the giving of one day’s written or telegraphic notice of such termination to the other.

(b) Termination of a Terms Agreement . An Agent may terminate any Terms Agreement, immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto (i) if there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs, management or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets or any material interruption in the clearance and settlement systems in the United States or, if such Securities are denominated and/or payable in, or indexed to, one or more foreign currencies, in the international financial markets, or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or any change or development or event involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent(s), impracticable to market the Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Select Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or if a banking moratorium shall have been

 

27


declared by the relevant authorities in the country or countries of origin of any foreign currency or currencies in which the Securities are denominated or payable, or (iv) if the rating assigned by any NRSRO to any debt securities of the Company as of the date of any applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered since that date or if any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any debt securities of the Company, or (v) if there shall have come to such Agent’s attention any facts that would cause such Agent to believe that the Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading.

(c) General . In the event of a termination of this Agreement, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be entitled to any commission earned in accordance with the fourth paragraph on Section 2(a) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (A) an Agent shall own any Securities purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement with the intention of reselling them or (B) an offer to purchase any of the Securities has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Security or Securities relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 6 hereof shall remain in effect until such Securities are so resold or delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 9 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

 

SECTION 11. Notices.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Agents shall be directed as set forth below their respective signatures hereto. Notices to the Company shall be directed to it as follows: PACCAR Financial Corp., 777 106th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, Washington 98004, Attention: Treasurer.

 

SECTION 12. Parties.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby (1) appoints each of you as its agent (“Agent”) for the purpose of soliciting offers to purchase Securities and each of you hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase Securities upon terms acceptable to the Company at such times and in such amounts as the Company shall from time to time specify and in accordance with the terms hereof, and after consultation with Incapital LLC (the “Purchasing Agent”) and (2) agrees that whenever the Company determines to sell Securities pursuant to this Agreement, such Securities shall be sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement (as defined herein) relating to such sale in accordance with the provisions of Section V hereof between the Company and the Purchasing Agent, with the Purchasing Agent purchasing such Securities from the Company as principal for resale to other Agents or dealers (the “Selected Dealers”), each of whom will purchase Securities from the Purchasing Agent as principal for resale to third parties. The Company reserves the right to enter into agreements substantially similar hereto with other agents subject to prior notification to the Purchasing Agent of any such agreement.

The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “disclosed,” “contained,” “included,” “set forth” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, at or after the time that the Purchasing Agent has agreed to purchase the particular Securities from the Company.

(e) The obligations of the Purchasing Agent and any Agent to purchase Securities in connection with any Terms Agreement are subject to the following further conditions: (i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act against the Company or relating to any offering of Securities have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the SEC; (ii) the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the 1934 Act) to any securities of the Company shall not have been lowered to below investment grade, or withdrawn, and no such rating organization shall have

III.

In further consideration of the agreements of the Purchasing Agent and the Agents herein contained, the Company covenants as follows:

(a) The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”), the 1934 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”), the 1939 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”). If at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Purchasing Agent and the Agents or counsel for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement in order that it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 under the 1933 Act would be required to be delivered) to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will: (1) give immediate written notice to the Purchasing


Agent and the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities and to cease sales of any Securities by the Purchasing Agent; (2) promptly prepare and file with the SEC, subject to clause (c), such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus comply with such requirements; (3) use its best efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it does not relate to an automatic shelf registration statement); and (4) furnish to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Purchasing Agent and the Agents may reasonably request. If, prior to the completion of the distribution of the applicable Securities, at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined herein) there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which it conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Securities), the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Purchasing Agent and the Agents thereof and to refrain from using such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus without the amendment or supplement referenced below and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or, in the case of an untrue statement or omission, file a report with the SEC under the 1934 Act that corrects such untrue statement or omission.

(b) The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(c) The Company will give counsel to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents notice of its intention to file or prepare any new or additional registration statement covering the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, whether by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, will furnish counsel to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, other than such amendments or supplements relating to the offering of securities other than the Securities, and will not file or use any such document to which the Purchasing Agent or Agents shall object.

(d) The Company will notify the Purchasing Agent and the Agents and their counsel immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Securities, or when any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than pricing supplements, or amendments or supplements relating exclusively to offerings of securities other than the Securities, except as set forth in the Procedures (as defined herein)), (ii) the receipt of any comments from the SEC, (iii) any request by the SEC for any amendment to


the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed a part thereof or for additional information, (iv) the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Securities or the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, or the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of or notification of any threat to initiate any proceedings for any of such purposes and (v) the initiation of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act relating to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Securities or the Company becoming subject to a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the Securities. The Company will promptly effect all filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the SEC and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(e) The Company has furnished or will make available upon request to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, without charge, conformed copies of the Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and signed and conformed copies of consents and certificates of experts). The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the SEC pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”), except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f) The Company will furnish to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, without charge, such number of copies of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement thereto) as the Purchasing Agent and the Agents may reasonably request. The Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto) furnished to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the SEC pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(g) The Company will use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the Purchasing Agent and the Agents may designate or to exempt the Securities from such laws by listing an appropriate security on a national securities exchange, and will use its best efforts to maintain such qualifications or exemption in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been


qualified as above provided. The Company will also supply the Purchasing Agent and the Agents with such information as is necessary for the determination of the legality of the Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasing Agent and the Agents may request.

(h) The Company, during the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 under the 1933 Act would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, will file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act in the manner and within the time period required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(i) The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) or (c) of this Section or the provisions of Section VII(b), (c) and (d) during any period from the time (i) the Agents have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Securities pursuant to a direction from the Company and (ii) the Agents shall not then hold any Securities as principal purchased from the Purchasing Agent to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation of purchases of the Securities should be resumed or shall subsequently agree for the Purchasing Agent to purchase Securities as principal.

(j) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(k) The Company shall use its best efforts in cooperation with the Purchasing Agent and the Agents to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(l) If agreed upon in any Terms Agreement between the Purchasing Agent acting as principal and the Company, between the date of the agreement by the Purchasing Agent to purchase Securities from the Company pursuant to such Terms Agreement and the related settlement thereof (the “Settlement Date”), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasing Agent, issue, sell, offer or contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any debt securities similar to the Securities (other than the Securities that are to be sold pursuant to such agreement or commercial paper in the ordinary course of business).

(m) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Purchasing Agent, it has not made and will not make, and the Purchasing Agent and the Agents agree that, unless they obtain the prior written consent of the Company and, in the case of a principal transaction, the Purchasing Agent, they have not made and will not make, as the case may be, any offer relating to the particular Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, required to be filed with the SEC. Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other free writing prospectus consented to in writing by the Purchasing Agent or the Company and the Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, is referred to herein as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and have


complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations applicable to each and every Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the SEC where required, legending and record keeping.

(n) The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the final terms of the particular Securities and their offering in a form approved by the Purchasing Agent and, upon such approval, will file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii). Any such final term sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the preceding paragraph), the Company consents to the use by the Purchasing Agent and the Agents of a free writing prospectus that contains only (a) (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the particular Securities or their offering, (ii) information meeting the requirements of Rule 134 of the 1933 Act Regulations or (iii) information that describes the final terms of the particular Securities or their offering and that is or is to be included in the final term sheet contemplated in the first sentence of this paragraph or (b) other customary information that is neither “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433, nor otherwise an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(o) Prior to the third anniversary of the original effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Deadline”), the Company may, at its option and prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, (i) file a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Securities, if it is eligible to do so, in a form satisfactory to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents or (ii) file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents; provided, however, that if the Company elects to file a new shelf registration statement pursuant to this clause (ii), it will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective on or before the Renewal Deadline. In such case, the Company will take all other actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Securities, and references herein to the “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

IV.

(a) The Agents propose to solicit offers to purchase the Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and upon the terms communicated to the Agents from time to time by the Purchasing Agent. For the purpose of such solicitations, the Agents will use the General Disclosure Package relating to Securities, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Securities only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. An Agent’s commitment to purchase Securities from the Purchasing Agent as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “this Agreement” shall include each applicable Terms Agreement. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitations of offers to purchase the Securities at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally and confirmed in writing) from the Company to the


Purchasing Agent and the Agents, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company has advised the Purchasing Agent and the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. Following any such notice, until such time as the Company shall notify the Agents, telephonically or in writing, to recommence solicitation of purchases of the Securities, the Company shall not be required to comply with the requirements of Section VII. Promptly after providing telephonic or written notice to the Agents to recommence such solicitation, the Company shall provide the opinions, certificates and comfort letters required by Section VII. Neither the Purchasing Agent nor any Agent shall be obligated to resume solicitations of offers to purchase Securities unless the Company has complied with the provisions of Sections III(a) and VII in full.

(b) Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Securities only in denominations of $1,000 or more (in integral multiples of $1,000). The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities without the consent of the Company. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Purchasing Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Securities. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any proposed offers to purchase Securities as a whole or in part. The Purchasing Agent and each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to reject any proposed purchase of Securities, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein. The Company agrees to pay, without duplication, the Purchasing Agent, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase Securities pursuant to a Terms Agreement, a concession in the form of a discount equal to the percentages of the aggregate principal amount of each Security actually sold as set forth in Exhibit B hereto; provided, however, that the Company and the Purchasing Agent may agree instead to a discount greater than or less than the percentages set forth in Exhibit B hereto. The actual aggregate discount with respect to each sale of Securities will be set forth in the related pricing supplement. The Purchasing Agent and the Agents or Selected Dealers will share the above-mentioned concession in such proportions as they may agree. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company, all Securities shall be sold to the public initially at a purchase price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any. Such purchase price shall be set forth in the confirmation statement of the Agent or Selected Dealer responsible for such sale that is delivered to each purchaser of the related Securities.

(c) Procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of, and the solicitation of purchases and payment for, the Securities are set forth in the Administrative Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit C , as amended from time to time (the “Procedures”). Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Agreement, the provisions of the Procedures shall apply to all transactions contemplated hereunder. The Purchasing Agent, the Agents and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each in the Procedures. The Procedures may only be amended by written agreement of the Company and the Purchasing Agent.

(d) Each of the Company, the Purchasing Agent and the Agents acknowledge and agree, and each Selected Dealer will be required to acknowledge and agree, that the Securities are being offered for sale in the United States only.


V.

Each sale of Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a separate agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Terms Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and the Purchasing Agent, which will provide for the sale of such Securities by the Company to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof by, the Purchasing Agent as principal. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Securities by the Purchasing Agent. The offering of Securities by the Company hereunder and the Purchasing Agent’s agreement to purchase Securities pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall describe the Securities to be purchased pursuant thereto by the Purchasing Agent as principal, and may specify, among other things, the principal amount of Securities to be purchased, the interest rate, the interest payment dates, the maturity date, whether the Securities provide for a Survivor’s Option (as such term is defined in the General Disclosure Package), whether the Securities are redeemable or otherwise repayable and, if so, on what terms and conditions, the net proceeds to the Company, the initial public offering price, if any, at which the Securities are proposed to be reoffered, and the time, the Settlement Date and place of delivery of and payment for such Securities, and any other relevant terms. In connection with the resale of the Securities purchased, without the consent of the Purchasing Agent, the Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the service of any other broker or dealer, nor may any Agent reallow any portion of the discount paid to it. Terms Agreements, each of which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or as otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchasing Agent, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Purchasing Agent and the Company.

VI.

(a) The Company represents and warrants to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents as of the date hereof, as of the date of each offer for the purchase of Securities, as of the date of each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities (including each applicable Terms Agreement), as of the Applicable Time (as defined herein), as of each Settlement Date, and as of any time that the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than any Current Report on Form 8-K relating exclusively to the issuance of other securities under the Registration Statement) (each of the times referenced above being referred to herein as a “Representation Date”), as follows:

(1) Compliance with Registration Requirements . The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 405”), and the Securities have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 automatic shelf registration statement. The Company has complied to the SEC’s satisfaction with all requests of the SEC for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or


notice objecting to its use pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act (“Rule 401(g)(2)”), has been issued by the SEC and no order or notice from any court, arbitrator, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or other authority or agency (collectively, “Governmental Entity”) preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or any proceeding for such purpose has been instituted or is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, is contemplated or threatened by a Governmental Entity.

At the respective times the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Purchasing Agent and the applicable Agent(s) pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, the Registration Statement complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations, and did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, at the time the same was or is issued and at the Settlement Date, complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and neither the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and as of each date referenced in the first paragraph of this Section VI(a) included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As of the Applicable Time, the Time of Sale Prospectus and each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in clause (m) of Section III) delivered to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents in connection with a particular offering and sale of Securities, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As used in this subclause and elsewhere in this Agreement:

“Applicable Time” means, with respect to a particular offering and sale of Securities, such time and date indicated in the applicable Terms Agreement, or if there is no applicable Terms Agreement, the time and date of the acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Securities.

The Company has not made any offer relating to the particular Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations) other than any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.


Each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the distribution, offering and sale of the particular Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Purchasing Agent and the Agents as described in clause (a) of Section III, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus. The Company has complied with the requirements of Rule 163, Rule 164 and Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations with respect to each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

The representations and warranties in this subclause shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasing Agent or any Agent through the Purchasing Agent expressly for use therein.

(2) Well-Known Seasoned Issuer and Status as Ineligible Issuer . (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer”, as defined in Rule 405, and has not been and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405.

(3) Incorporated Documents . The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the SEC, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, (a) at the time the Registration Statement became effective, (b) at the Applicable Time and (c) at each date referenced in the first paragraph of this clause (a), did not, does not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(4) Independent Accountants . The accountants who certified the financial statements and any supporting schedules thereto included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus are an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

(5) Financial Statements . The financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, as well as those financial statements, schedules and


notes of any other entity included therein, present fairly the financial position of the Company, or such other entity, as the case may be, at the dates indicated and the statement of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Company, or such other entity, as the case may be, for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. Except as otherwise included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither pro forma financial statements of the Company nor the financial statements of any entity other than the Company are required to be included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations. The supporting schedules, if any, included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus present fairly in accordance with GAAP the information required to be stated therein. The Company’s ratios of earnings to fixed charges included in the Registration Statement (including Exhibit 12), the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus have been calculated in compliance with Item 503(d) of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act. The selected financial data and the summary financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, if any, regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC) comply with Regulation G under the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and is fully paid and non-assessable and is owned by PACCAR, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims.

(9) Authorization of this Agreement and Terms Agreement . This Agreement and each applicable Terms Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(10) Authorization of Securities . The Securities have been duly authorized by the Company for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and each applicable Terms Agreement. At the applicable Settlement Date, the Securities will have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the requisite consideration therefor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Securities will be in the form contemplated by, and each registered holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture.

(11) Authorization of the Indenture . The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except further as enforcement thereof may be limited by requirements that a claim with respect to any debt securities issued or issuable under the Indenture that are payable in a foreign currency (or a foreign currency judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or by governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States.


(12) Descriptions of the Securities and the Indentures . The Indenture conforms, and, upon issuance, the Securities will conform, in all material respects to the statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and will be substantially in the forms filed or incorporated by reference, as the case may be, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

(13) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts . The Company is not in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which may be bound, or to which any of the assets, properties or operations of the Company is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”), except for such defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company.

(15) Absence of Proceedings . Other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company which is required to be


disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than as stated) in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, or which could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, or which could be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, this Agreement, each applicable Terms Agreement, the Securities or the Indenture, or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its assets, properties or operations is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change .

All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company has received no notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

VIII.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasing Agent and each Agent and their respective partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Purchasing Agent or any Agent (collectively, “Agent Indemnified Parties”) within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or


alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Company that is filed or required to be filed under Rule 433(d) (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission referred to in subsection (i) above or any alleged untrue statement or omission; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred, reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided , however , that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasing Agent or any Agent through the Purchasing Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) In no case shall the Company be liable under the indemnity agreement set forth in clause (a) above with respect to any claim made against any Agent Indemnified Party unless the Company shall be notified in writing of the nature of the claim promptly after the assertion thereof, but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of said indemnity agreement. The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, to assume the defense, of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, but if it so elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and approved by the Purchasing Agent and the Agents who are party to such suit, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Company elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retains such counsel, the Agent Indemnified Parties who are party to such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel thereafter retained by them. In the event that the parties to any such action (including impleaded parties) include the Company and the Purchasing Agent and/or one or more Agents and the Agent Indemnified Parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to them which represent a conflict of interest between the Company and the Agent Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such action or additional or different defenses available to the Agent Indemnified Parties such that, in either case, the counsel retained by the Company to defend the


Agent Indemnified Parties in such action cannot adequately represent the interests of the Agent Indemnified Parties, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of any such Agent Indemnified Parties and the Company will reimburse, without duplication, such Agent Indemnified Parties as aforesaid for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them, it being understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) for all such Agent Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated by the Purchasing Agent and the Agents in writing. The Company agrees to notify the Purchasing Agent and the Agents promptly after the assertion of any claim against it, any of its directors, any of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, or any person who controls it within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

(c) The Purchasing Agent and the Agents, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in clause (a) above, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the Time of Sale of Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasing Agent or any Agent through the Purchasing Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Time of Sale Prospectus, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). In case any action shall be brought against the Company or any person so indemnified based on the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Time of Sale Prospectus, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Purchasing Agent or any Agent, the Purchasing Agent or such Agent, as applicable, shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Company and each person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, by the provisions of clause (b) above.

(d) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, or any Agent Indemnified Parties, and shall survive the delivery of the Securities to the Purchasing Agent and the Agent.

(e) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of


each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any claim or action settled without its consent.

(f) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for herein is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company, the Purchasing Agent and the Agents shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreements incurred by the Company, the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, in such proportions so as to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, on the other hand, such that the Purchasing Agent and the Agents (without duplication) are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the discount received by them in connection with the offering and sale of the applicable Securities bears to the initial public offering price of such Securities and the Company is responsible for the balance. If the allocation provided by the preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the Company, the Purchasing Agent and the Agents shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreements in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the preceding sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, on the other hand. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchasing Agent and the Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section VIII(f), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount or commission received by such Agent in connection with the offering of the Securities that was the subject of the claim for indemnification exceeds the amount of any damages which it shall have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each Agent Indemnified Party shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchasing Agent and the Agents, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The respective obligations of the Purchasing Agent and the Agents to contribute pursuant to this clause (f) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

IX.

The Company may elect to suspend or terminate the offering of Securities under this Agreement at any time; the Company also (as to the Purchasing Agent or any one or more of the Agents) or any Agent (as to itself) may terminate the appointment and arrangements described in


this Agreement. Upon receipt of instructions from the Company, the Purchasing Agent shall suspend or terminate the participation of any Selected Dealer under the Master Selected Dealer Agreement. Such actions may be taken, in the case of the Company, by giving prompt written notice of suspension to the Purchasing Agent and all of the Agents and by giving not less than five (5) days’ written notice of termination to the affected party and the other parties to this Agreement or, in the case of the Purchasing Agent or an Agent, by giving not less than five (5) days’ written notice of termination to the Company except that, if at the time of termination an offer for the purchase of Securities shall have been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his/her agent of the Security or Securities relating thereto shall not yet have occurred, the Company shall have the obligations provided herein with respect to such Security or Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any such termination.

The Purchasing Agent may, and upon the request of an Agent with respect to any Securities being purchased by such Agent shall, terminate any Terms Agreement hereunder by the Purchasing Agent to purchase such Securities from the Company, immediately upon notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, if (i) there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Change, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, the effect of which in each case is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Purchasing Agent or such Agent or Agents, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the SEC or any national securities exchange or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by any such exchange or market or by order of the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities, or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred.

Any Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Purchasing Agent on the terms set forth or incorporated by reference therein. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Terms Agreement, and the termination of any Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated, Section IV(b), Section VIII, Section XI, Section XII and Section XIII hereof shall survive and shall remain in effect; provided that if at the time of termination of this Agreement an offer to purchase Securities has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the Purchasing Agent of such Securities has not occurred, the provisions of all of Section III, Section IV(b), Section V and Section VI shall also survive until time of delivery.


In the event a proposed offering of Securities is not completed according to the terms of this Agreement and an executed Terms Agreement, the Purchasing Agent and the applicable Agents will be reimbursed by the Company only for out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred.

X.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing, or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to the Purchasing Agent or an Agent shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered in person or sent by facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing) or registered mail to the Purchasing Agent or such Agent at its address or facsimile number set forth on Annex A hereto and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing) or registered mail to the Company at the address specified below.

(ii) The Indenture is qualified under, and complies in all material respects as to form with, the Trust Indenture Act.

(iii) The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act. To the knowledge of such counsel, (a) no stop order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act, and no proceedings for this purpose are pending or threatened by the SEC, and (b) no order of the SEC challenging the accuracy or adequacy of any document incorporated by reference in any Prospectus has been issued, and no proceedings for this purpose are pending or threatened by the SEC.

(iv) Any required filing of any preliminary pricing supplement and of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)). Any required filing of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 under the 1933 Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d).

(v) The Company is not, and immediately upon receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

(vi) Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference therein or in any General Disclosure Package, each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information contained therein or that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1) appear on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and each of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and, if this opinion is required by an agreement by an Agent to purchase Securities as principal, the General Disclosure Package (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information contained therein) appear on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

(vii) This Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company.

 

Exhibit A-2-1


(viii) The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, other laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles).

(ix) The Securities are in a form contemplated by the Indenture and have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when executed and authenticated as specified in the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, other laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles).

(x) The information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “United States Federal Income Taxation,” to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects; and our opinion set forth under “United States Federal Income Taxation” is confirmed.

(xi) Such counsel shall also confirm that although such counsel assumes no responsibility for the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements (other than as set forth in paragraphs (i) and (x) above and subject to the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications set forth in such counsel’s opinion) made in (a) the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, (b) the General Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, (c) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (d) the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that:

a. the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein and that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1, as to which such counsel makes no statement) at the time the Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement became effective contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

b. if this opinion is required by any agreement by an Agent to purchase Securities as principal, the General Disclosure Package (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel makes no statement) as of the Applicable Time contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

c. the Prospectus (except for the financial statements, financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which such counsel makes no statement) as of its date and as of the Settlement Date contained or contains any untrue

EXHIBIT C

PACCAR FINANCIAL INTERNOTES ® , SERIES C

DUE NINE MONTHS OR MORE FROM DATE OF ISSUE

ISSUED BY

PACCAR Financial Corp.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

PACCAR Financial InterNotes ® , Series C, Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue (the “Securities”) are offered on a continuing basis by PACCAR Financial Corp. (the “Company”). The Securities will be offered by Incapital LLC (the “Purchasing Agent”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Advisors LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) pursuant to a Selling Agent Agreement among the Company, the Purchasing Agent and the Agents (the “Selling Agreement”) and one or more terms agreements substantially in the form attached to the Selling Agreement as Exhibit D (each a “Terms Agreement”). The Securities are being sold by the Company to the Purchasing Agent as principal for resale to (i) the Agents and (ii) to selected broker-dealers (the “Selected Dealers”) pursuant to a Master Selected Dealers Agreement (a “Dealers Agreement”) attached hereto as Schedule A, in each case for distribution to their customers. The Agents have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of the Securities. The Securities will constitute a series of senior debt securities under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2009 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented from time to time in the future (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, The Bank of New York Mellon will serve as authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”), paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) and security registrar (the “Security Registrar”).

Each tranche of Securities will be issued in book-entry only form and represented by one or more fully registered global notes without coupons (each, a “Global Note”) held by the Trustee, as agent for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Each Global Note will have the interest rate, maturity and other terms set forth in the relevant pricing supplement. Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be entitled to physical delivery of Securities issued in certificated form equal in principal amount to their respective beneficial interests only upon certain limited circumstances described in the Indenture, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (each defined in the Selling Agreement).

Administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering are explained below. Administrative and record-keeping responsibilities will be handled for the Company by its Treasury Department. The Company will advise the Purchasing Agent, the Agents and the Trustee in writing of those persons handling administrative responsibilities with whom the Purchasing Agent, the Agents and the Trustee are to communicate regarding offers to purchase Securities and the details of their delivery.

 

Exhibit C-1


Securities will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth herein. To the extent the procedures set forth below conflict with or omit certain of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture, the Selling Agreement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, the relevant provisions of the Securities, the Indenture, the Selling Agreement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus shall control. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Selling Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus (as defined in the Selling Agreement) in the form most recently filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 of the 1933 Act or in the Indenture.

Administrative Procedures for Securities

In connection with the qualification of Securities for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company and the Trustee to DTC and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between the Trustee and DTC (the “Certificate Agreement”) and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”). The procedures set forth below may be modified in compliance with DTC’s then-applicable procedures and upon agreement by the Company, the Trustee and the Purchasing Agent.

 

Maturities:    Each Security will mature on a date (the “Stated Maturity Date”) not less than nine months after the date of delivery by the Company of such Security. Securities will mature on any date selected by the Company. “Maturity Date”, when used with respect to any Security, means the date on which the outstanding principal amount of such Security becomes due and payable in full in accordance with its terms, whether at its Stated Maturity Date or by acceleration, call for redemption, notice for repayment (including exercise of a Survivor’s Option) or otherwise.
Issuance:    All Securities having the same terms will be represented initially by one or more Global Notes. Each Global Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
   Each Global Note will bear an original issue date (the “Original Issue Date”). The Original Issue Date shall remain the same for all Securities subsequently issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of an original Security regardless of their dates of authentication.
Identification Numbers:    The Company has received from the CUSIP Service Bureau (the “CUSIP Service Bureau”) of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”) a series of CUSIP numbers for future assignment to Global Notes. The Company will provide the Purchasing

 

Exhibit C-2


   Agent, DTC and the Trustee with a list of such CUSIP numbers. On behalf of the Company, the Purchasing Agent will assign CUSIP numbers as described below under “Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting”. DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Company has assigned to Global Notes. The Company will reserve additional CUSIP numbers when necessary for assignment to Global Notes and will provide the Purchasing Agent, the Trustee and DTC with the list of additional CUSIP numbers so obtained.
Registration:    Unless otherwise specified by DTC, Global Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons. Each Global Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, on the Security Register maintained under the Indenture by the Trustee or the Security Register. The beneficial owner of a Security (or one or more indirect participants in DTC designated by such owner) will designate one or more participants in DTC (with respect to such Security, the “Participants”) to act as agent or agents for such owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such beneficial owner of such Security in the account of such Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in such Security will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in DTC.
Transfers:    Transfers of interests in a Global Note will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such interests.
Exchanges:    The Trustee, at the Company’s request, may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice of consolidation specifying (a) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Global Notes outstanding on such date that represent Securities having the same terms (except that Original Issue Dates need not be the same) and for which interest, if any, has been paid to the same date and which otherwise constitute Securities of the same series and tenor under the Indenture, (b) a date, occurring at least 30 days after such written notice is delivered and at least 30 days before the next Interest Payment Date, if any, for the related Securities, on which such Global Notes shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global Note, and (c) a new CUSIP number, obtained from the Company, to be assigned to such replacement Global Note. Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC will send to its participants (including the issuing Agent) and the Trustee a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, the Trustee will

 

Exhibit C-3


   deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau written notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Notes to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, the Trustee will exchange such Global Notes for a single Global Note bearing the new CUSIP number and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Notes will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned.
Denominations:    Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, Securities will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or more (in integral multiples of $1,000). Global Notes will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of $500,000,000 or any other limit set by DTC.
Issue Price:    Unless otherwise specified in an applicable pricing supplement, each Security will be issued at the percentage of principal amount specified in the Prospectus relating to such Security.
Interest:    General . Each Security will bear interest at the fixed rate specified therein and in the applicable pricing supplement. Except as otherwise indicated in the terms of the Security or in the applicable pricing supplement, interest on each Security will accrue from the Original Issue Date of such Security for the first interest period and from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid for all subsequent interest periods. Except as set forth hereafter, each payment of interest on a Security will include interest accrued to, but excluding, as the case may be, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date.
   Each pending deposit message described under Settlement Procedure “C” below will be routed to Standard & Poor’s, which will use the message to include certain information regarding the related Securities in the appropriate daily bond report published by Standard & Poor’s.
   Each Security will bear interest from, and including, its Original Issue Date at the fixed rate per annum set forth thereon and in the applicable pricing supplement until the principal amount thereof is paid, or made available for payment, in full. Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus, interest on each Security will be payable either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually on each Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date. Interest will be payable to the person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

 

Exhibit C-4


   The interest rates that the Company will agree to pay on newly-issued Securities are subject to change without notice by the Company from time to time, but no such change will affect any Securities already issued or as to which an offer to purchase has been accepted by the Company.
   The Interest Payment Dates, the Regular Record Dates with respect to any Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date shall be as specified in the Prospectus. Payments of interest shall be subject to the business day convention specified in the Prospectus.
Payments of Principal, Premium and Interest:    Payments of Principal and Interest . Promptly after each Regular Record Date, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written notice specifying by CUSIP number the amount of interest, if any, to be paid on each Global Note on the following Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Maturity Date) and the total of such amounts. DTC will confirm the amount payable on each Global Note on such Interest Payment Date by reference to the daily bond reports published by Standard & Poor’s. On such Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee in turn will pay to DTC, such total amount of interest due (other than on the Maturity Date), at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.”
   Payments on the Maturity Date . On or about the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written list of principal, premium, if any, and interest to be paid on each Global Note representing Securities maturing or subject to redemption or repayment in the following month. The Trustee, the Company and DTC will confirm the amounts of such principal, premium, if any, and interest payments with respect to each Global Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date of such Global Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee in turn will pay to DTC, the principal amount of such Global Note, together with interest and premium, if any, due on such Maturity Date, at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment.” Promptly after payment to DTC of the principal and interest due on the Maturity Date of such Global Note and all other Securities represented by such Global Note, the Trustee will cancel and destroy such Global Note in accordance with the Indenture and so advise the Company.
   Manner of Payment . The total amount of any principal, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Notes on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee in immediately available funds on such date. The Company will make such payment on such Global Notes to an account specified by the

 

Exhibit C-5


   Trustee. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Maturity Date or as soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make payment to DTC in accordance with existing arrangements between DTC and the Trustee, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of interest, principal and premium, if any, due on a Global Note on such date. On each Interest Payment Date (other than on the Maturity Date) the Trustee will pay DTC such interest payments in same-day funds in accordance with existing arrangements between the Trustee and DTC. Thereafter, on each such date, DTC will pay, in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in such Global Note as are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment by DTC of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities to such Participants.
   Withholding Taxes . The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Security will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Security.
Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting:    The Company and the Purchasing Agent will discuss, from time to time, the aggregate principal amount, the maturities and redemption and repayment provisions, the issue price and the interest rates to be borne by Securities that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders by the Agents. If the Company decides to set interest rates to be borne by any Securities in respect of which the Agents are to solicit orders (the setting of such interest terms to be referred to herein as “Posting”) or if the Company decides to change interest rates previously posted by it, it will promptly advise the Purchasing Agent of the prices and interest terms to be posted.
   The Purchasing Agent will assign a separate CUSIP number for each tranche of Securities to be posted, and will so advise and notify the Company and the Trustee of said assignment by telephone and/or by telecopier or other form of electronic transmission. The Purchasing Agent will include the assigned CUSIP number on all Posting notices communicated to the Agents and Selected Dealers.
Offering of Securities:    In the event that there is a Posting, the Purchasing Agent will communicate to each of the Agents and Selected Dealers the aggregate principal amount, maturities and redemption and repayment provisions

 

Exhibit C-6


   and interest terms to be borne by each tranche of Securities that is the subject of the Posting. Thereafter, the Agents and the Selected Dealers will solicit offers to purchase the Securities accordingly.
Purchase of Securities by the Purchasing Agent:    The Purchasing Agent will, as soon as practicable after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the seventh day subsequent to the day on which such Posting occurs, or if such seventh day is not a Business Day on the succeeding Business Day, or on such other Business Day and time as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasing Agent (any such day, a “Trade Day”), (i) complete, execute and deliver to the Company a Terms Agreement that sets forth, among other things, the principal amount of each tranche of Securities that the Purchasing Agent is offering to purchase or (ii) inform the Company that none of the Securities of a particular tranche will be purchased by the Purchasing Agent.
Acceptance and Rejection of Orders:    Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Purchasing Agent, the Company has the sole right to accept orders to purchase Securities and may reject any such order in whole or in part. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Purchasing Agent will promptly advise the Company by telephone of all offers to purchase Securities received by it, other than those rejected by it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. No order for less than $1,000 principal amount of Securities will be accepted.
   Upon receipt of a completed and executed Terms Agreement from the Purchasing Agent, the Company will (i) promptly execute and return such Terms Agreement to the Purchasing Agent or (ii) inform the Purchasing Agent that its offer to purchase the Securities of a particular tranche has been rejected, in whole or in part. The Purchasing Agent will thereafter promptly inform the Agents and participating Selected Dealers of the action taken by the Company.
Preparation of Pricing Supplement:    If any offer to purchase a Security is accepted by or on behalf of the Company, the Company will provide a pricing supplement to the Purchasing Agent and the Trustee reflecting the terms of such Security and will file such pricing supplement with the SEC in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to send such pricing supplement by email or telecopy to the Purchasing Agent and the Trustee by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the applicable Trade Day. The Purchasing Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to send such pricing supplement and the remainder of the Prospectus by email or telecopy or overnight express (for delivery by the close of business on the applicable Trade Day, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the applicable Trade Day) to each Agent and each Selected Dealer which made or presented the offer to purchase the applicable Security and the Trustee at the following applicable address:

   NOTE : The Prospectus as most recently amended or supplemented, or, in lieu thereof, a notice to the effect that the sale was made pursuant to a registration statement or in a transaction in which a final prospectus would have been required to have been delivered in the absence of Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, must accompany or precede any written confirmation given to the customer (Settlement Procedure “L”). Settlement Procedure “I” is subject to extension in accordance with any extension Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in effect on the Settlement Date.
   If Settlement of a Security is rescheduled or cancelled, the Trustee will deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Settlement Date.
Failure to Settle:    If the Trustee fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Security pursuant to Settlement Procedure “G”, the Trustee may deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such

 

Exhibit C-14


   Security to the participant account of the Trustee maintained at DTC. DTC will process the withdrawal message, provided that such participant account contains Securities with Securities having the same terms and having a principal amount that is at least equal to the principal amount of such Security to be debited. If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to all the Securities issued or to be issued represented by a Global Note, the Trustee will cancel such Global Note in accordance with the Indenture, make appropriate entries in its records and so advise the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Note shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Securities represented by a Global Note, the Trustee will exchange such Global Note for two Global Notes, one of which shall represent such Securities and shall be cancelled immediately after issuance, and the other of which shall represent the remaining Securities previously represented by the surrendered Global Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Note. If the purchase price for any Security is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Security by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the Purchasing Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC’s participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures “G” and “H”, respectively. Thereafter, the Trustee will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than default by the Purchasing Agent or any Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the Selling Agreement, the Company will reimburse (without duplication) the Purchasing Agent or any Agent on an equitable basis for its reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred and loss of the use of funds during the period when they were credited to the account of the Company.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Security, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect. In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Securities that were to have been represented by a Global Note, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “E” and “F”, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing the other Securities to have been represented by such Global Note and will make appropriate entries in its records.
Suspension of Solicitation;    Subject to the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in the Selling Agreement, the Company may

 

Exhibit C-15


Amendment or Supplement:    instruct the Purchasing Agent to instruct the Agents to suspend at any time for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of orders to purchase Securities. Upon receipt of such instructions (which may be given orally), each Agent will forthwith suspend solicitation until such time as the Company has advised it that solicitation of purchases may be resumed.
   In the event that at the time the Company suspends solicitation of purchases there shall be any orders outstanding for settlement, the Company will promptly advise the Purchasing Agent, the Agents and the Trustee whether such orders may be settled and whether copies of the Prospectus as in effect at the time of the suspension may be delivered in connection with the settlement of such orders. The Company will have the sole responsibility for such decision and for any arrangements which may be made in the event that the Company determines that such orders may not be settled or that copies of such Prospectus may not be so delivered.
   If the Company decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, it will promptly advise the Purchasing Agent and the Agents and furnish the Purchasing Agent and the Trustee with the proposed amendment or supplement and with such certificates and opinions as are required, all to the extent required by and in accordance with the terms of the Selling Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of the Selling Agreement, make the appropriate filings thereof with the SEC.
Trustee Not to Risk Funds:    Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds in connection with any payment to the Company, or the Purchasing Agent, the Agents or the purchasers, it being understood by all parties that payments made by the Trustee to any of the Company, the Purchasing Agent or the Agents shall be made only to the extent that funds are provided to the Trustee for such purpose.
Advertising Costs:    The Company shall have the sole right to approve the form and substance of any advertising the Purchasing Agent or an Agent may initiate in connection with the solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The expense of such advertising will be solely the responsibility of the Purchasing Agent or such Agent, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company.

This will confirm our mutual agreement as to the general terms and conditions applicable to your participation in any such selected dealer group organized by us as follows.

1. Applicability of this Agreement . The terms and conditions of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) shall be applicable to any offering of notes (“Notes”), whether a public offering effected pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or an offering exempt from registration thereunder (other than an offering of Notes effected wholly outside the United States of America), in respect of which Incapital LLC (“Incapital”), clearing through [[●]] (the “Account”) (acting for its own Account or for the account of any underwriting or agent or similar group or syndicate), is responsible for managing or otherwise implementing the sale (whether by acting as lead agent or manager or by facilitating the re-offer of Notes or otherwise) of the Notes to selected dealers (“Selected Dealers”) and has expressly informed you that these terms and conditions shall be applicable. Any such offering of Notes to you as a Selected Dealer is hereinafter called an “Offering.” In the case of any Offering where we are acting for the account of any underwriting or agent or similar group or syndicate (whether purchasing as principal for resale or soliciting as agent purchases of Notes directly from the issuer) (“Underwriters”), the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, and binding upon, such Underwriters, including, in the case of any Offering where we are acting with others as representatives of Underwriters, such other representatives. The use of the defined term Underwriter herein shall be understood to include acting as agent.

2. Conditions of Offering; Acceptance and Purchases . Any Offering: (i) will be subject to delivery of the Notes and their acceptance by us and any other Underwriters; (ii) may be subject to the approval of all legal matters by counsel and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, and (iii) may be made on the basis of reservation of Notes or an allotment against subscription. We will advise you by electronic mail, facsimile or other form of Written Communication (as defined below) of the particular method and supplementary terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the information as to prices and offering date referred to in Section 3(c) hereof) of any Offering in which you are invited to participate. “Written Communication” may include, in the case of any Offering described in Section 3(a) hereof, Additional Information (as defined below) and, in the case of any Offering described in Section

To the extent such supplementary terms and conditions are inconsistent with any provision herein, such terms and conditions shall supersede any such provision. Unless otherwise indicated in any such Written Communication, acceptances and other communications by you with respect to an Offering should be sent to Incapital LLC, 200 South Wacker Drive, Suite 3700, Chicago, Illinois 60606 (Fax: (312) 379-3701).

PACCAR Financial Corp. , a Washington corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO. or its registered assigns, the principal sum of          UNITED STATES DOLLARS on the Maturity Date specified above, and to pay interest thereon at the rate per annum specified above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on the Interest Payment Dates specified above, commencing with the Interest Payment Date immediately following the Original Issue Date shown above, and on the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption date or optional repayment date (such Maturity Date and any earlier redemption date or optional repayment date or any other date that the principal amount hereof or an installment thereof is due and payable whether by declaration of acceleration pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise being referred to hereinafter as a “Maturity” with respect to the portion of the principal amount payable on such date); provided , however , that if the Original Issue Date specified above is after a Regular Record Date as specified above and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the first payment of interest on this Note will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date specified above) to but excluding such date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal or interest shall be made the next day that is a Business Day with the same full force and effect as if the payment had been made on such date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date, and interest payable at Maturity shall be payable to the Person to whom the principal hereof is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall 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 Note (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 the Holder of this Note 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 upon which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of principal and interest payable at Maturity of this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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, and will be made in immediately available funds if this Note is presented in time for payment to be made in such funds in accordance with normal procedures of The Bank of New York Mellon, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”, which term includes any successor paying agent under the Indenture).

“Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, if the Specified Currency above is anything other than United States dollars, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the Specified Currency or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System or any successor thereto, is open.

“Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Note in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars will be made in United States dollars unless the Person entitled to receive such

 

2


payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in the Specified Currency to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Note payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Note payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent on or before the applicable Regular Record Date or at least sixteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.

The United States dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to this Note, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the Person entitled to receive such payment has not requested payment to be made in the Specified Currency as described in the preceding paragraph, will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three recognized foreign exchange dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent (which dealers may include the Exchange Rate Agent) and approved by the Company in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for United States dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities who are scheduled to receive United States dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If the bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in United States dollars on this Note will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the Specified Currency is not available for any amount payable on this Note on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date (including at Maturity) due to the imposition of exchange controls or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of such payment in United States dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, or if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The “Market Exchange Rate” for a Specified Currency other than United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency as certified for custom purposes or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars where the required payment is in other than United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Note.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions will for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture, this Note will not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

References herein to the “Note,” “hereof,” “herein” and comparable terms shall include any Addendum hereto if any Addendum is specified under “Other Provisions” above.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of November 20, 2009 (the “Indenture”), between the Company 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), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, 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 Note is one of the series of the Securities designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series O (herein called the “Notes”). The Notes may bear different dates and mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Note, its payment dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified above.

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to the Maturity Date specified above on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified above. If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Dates are specified above, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date. On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid (or, if the Discount Note box is checked above, such lesser amount as is provided below), together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment, subject to the terms of any applicable Addendum hereto. For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth below (and also available at the office of the Trustee) duly completed, by the Trustee at its office at 400 South Hope Street, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Attention: Corporate Unit, Fax: (213) 630-6298, or such address which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date. This note must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day for the giving of such notice. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of payment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes Outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified above (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage Reduction, specified above (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified above) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue Price specified above and the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.

For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates specified above (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), an interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date specified above to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in, and subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes if at any time (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes, or (ii) to the extent the Notes are payable in United States dollars only, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America (other than obligations subject to prepayment, redemption or call prior to their stated maturity) as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment thereof), be sufficient to pay and discharge when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (c) unless the Notes are to become due and payable at their Maturity within one year, the Trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Notes of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge). Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Notes shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, and shall look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed; subject, however, to the provisions for the discharge of the Company from its obligations under the Notes upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph and in the Indenture.

This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date (any date fixed for such redemption being the “Redemption Date”), if any, specified above, and prior to the Maturity Date specified above, in whole, or from time to time in part (if so specified above), in increments of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the Redemption Price, if any, specified above or in any applicable Addendum hereto, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the Holder of this Note at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, all as provided in the Indenture. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, from Notes that are subject to redemption pursuant to the terms thereof, the Note or Notes, or portion or portions thereof, to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same series in authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons and, if payable in United States dollars, only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable

 

6


for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable, or no longer eligible under the Indenture, to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange relating to this Note, but the Company or the Security Registrar 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 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authentication Agent and any other agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon, and no recourse upon any obligation of the Company in the Indenture or in any Note shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of November 20, 2009 (the “Indenture”), between the Company 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), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, 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 Note is one of the series of the Securities designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series O (herein called the “Notes”). The Notes may bear different dates and mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Note, its payment dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified above.

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to the Maturity Date specified above on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified above. If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Dates are specified above, this Note may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date. On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid (or, if the Discount Note box is checked above, such lesser amount as is provided below), together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment, subject to the terms of any applicable Addendum hereto. For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” set forth below (and also available at the office of the Trustee) duly completed, by the Trustee at its office at 400 South Hope Street, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Attention: Corporate Unit, Fax: (213) 630-6298, or such address which the Company will from time to time notify the Holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date. This Note must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day for the giving of such notice. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of payment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

Commencing with the Interest Reset Date specified above first following the Original Issue Date specified above, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable will be adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as shown above under Interest Reset Period; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate specified above. Each such adjusted rate will be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date to which it relates, to, but not including, the next succeeding Interest Reset Date, or until Maturity, as the case may be. If any Interest Reset Date is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except, that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR, and if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, and if such Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day on which Treasury Bills (as defined below) are auctioned, then such Interest Reset Date will be the first Business Day immediately following such auction day. Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest on this Note will be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.

All percentages resulting from any calculations with respect to this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards; and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upwards.

The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:

(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or as otherwise specified herein, this Note will be designated as a

 

5


“Regular Floating Rate Note” and, except as set forth herein or specified above, will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

(ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, then, except as set forth herein or specified above, this Note will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate specified above or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, then, except as set forth herein or specified above, this Note will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified above or herein, the interest rate hereon will not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note will be payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

“H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and available on their website via http://federalreserve.gov/release/h15 or any successor site or publication.

“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519) published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and available on their website at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/default.htm, or any successor site or publication.

Determination of CMT Rate . If the Interest Reset Basis specified above is the CMT Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the CMT Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “CMT Rate” means with respect to any Interest Determination Date:

(i) If Reuters Page FRBCMT (as defined below) is specified above, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as the yield is displayed on Reuters page FRBCMT (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”) or, if not so displayed, as displayed on the Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) service (or any successor service) on page NDX7 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (“Bloomberg Page NDX7”), for such Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX7, as the case may be, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above and for such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified above as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519). If such rate is not published as specified in the preceding sentence, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30

 

6


P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a “Reference Dealer”), which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company (from five such Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company (from five Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

(ii) If Reuters Page FEDCMT is specified above, the percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as such yield is displayed on Reuters page FEDCMT (“Reuters Page FEDCMT”) or, if not so displayed on Reuters Page FEDCMT, as displayed on the Bloomberg service (or any successor service) on Bloomberg Page NDX7, for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX7, as the case may be, the CMT Rate on such Interest Rate Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is not published as specified in the preceding sentence, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company (from five such Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity of no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company (from five Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a

single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest or the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date. If two United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.

“Reuters page” means the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service, or any successor service, on the page or pages specified in this Note, or any replacement page or pages on that service.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate . If the Interest Rate Reset Basis specified above is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Commercial Paper Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “Commercial Paper Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield (as defined below) of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial”. In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or other recognized electronic source, the Commercial Paper Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “AA,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Money Market Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

Money Market Yield =   

D x 360

   x 100
   360 - (D x M)   

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper, quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable interest reset period.

Determination of Federal Funds Rate . If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Federal Funds Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “Federal Funds Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date:

(i) If Federal Funds (Effective) Rate is specified above, the rate on that day for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Federal funds (effective)” as displayed on Reuters page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”) under the heading “EFFECT” or, if such rate does not appear or is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Federal funds (effective).” If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 and is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or other recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

(ii) If Federal Funds Open Rate is specified above, the rate on that day under the heading “Federal Funds” for the applicable Index Maturity and opposite the caption “Open” as such rate is displayed on Reuters page 5 (“Reuters Page 5”), or if such rate does not appear on Reuters Page 5 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate displayed on the FFPREBON Index Page on the Bloomberg service, which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane (or its successor) on Bloomberg. If such rate does not appear on the FFPREBON Index page on Bloomberg or another recognized electronic source or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, before 9:00 A.M., New York City time on such Interest Determination Date, or if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate as in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

(iii) If Federal Funds Target rate is specified above, the rate on that day displayed on the FDTR Index Page on Bloomberg, or if such rate does not appear on the FDTR Index Page on Bloomberg or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate appearing on Reuters page USFFTARGET= (“Reuters Page USFFTARGET=”). If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page USFFTARGET= or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, or if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the calculation agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate as in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR means: (i) the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency (as defined below) having the Index Maturity specified above commencing on the Interest Reset Date that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that Interest Determination Date, or (ii) if the rate referred to in clause (i) does not appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, or is not so published by 11:00 A.M, London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include the agents for the sale of the Notes or their affiliates) in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in that market at that time. If at least two such quotations are provided, then LIBOR on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations and calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, then LIBOR on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below), on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include the agents for the sale of the Notes or their affiliates) in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified above commencing on such Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time, or (iii) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (ii) above, LIBOR in effect on the applicable Interest Determination Date.

If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is EURIBOR, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be EURIBOR plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “EURIBOR” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Rate, the rate for deposits in Euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI-The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appears on Reuters page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date; or if no such rate appears on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, or is not so published by 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal Euro-zone (as defined below) offices of four major reference banks in the Euro-zone interbank market (which may include affiliates of the agents for the sale of the Notes) selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in Euros for the period of the Index Maturity specified above commencing on the applicable

 

10


Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of United States $1,000,000 in Euros that is representative for a single transaction in Euros in such market at such time; or if fewer than two quotations are so provided, the rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date by four major banks in the Euro-zone selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company for loans in Euro to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in principal amount not less than the equivalent of United States $1,000,000 in Euros that is representative for a single transaction in Euros in such market at such time; or if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, EURIBOR in effect on the applicable Interest Determination Date.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on the European Union.

Determination of Prime Rate . If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Prime Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Prime Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “Prime Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Bank prime loan.” If such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the rate published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the caption “Bank prime loan.” If such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or such other recognized electronic source on the related Calculation Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on Reuters page US PRIME 1 as such bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date on Reuters page US PRIME 1 for such Interest Determination Date, the rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate with respect to such Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Treasury Rate . If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, the interest rate with respect to this Note will be the Treasury Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above. “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate from the auction held on such Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified above as published under the caption “INVEST RATE” on Reuters page USAUCTION 10 or any other page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page US AUCTION 10”) or Reuters page USAUCTION 11 or any page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 11”) or, if not so displayed, as displayed on the Bloomberg service (or any successor service) on page AUCR 27 (or any other page as may replace that page on that service). If such rate does not appear by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined below) of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that such auction rate is not so announced by the United States Department of the Treasury by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if the Auction is not held, the Treasury Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”, or if such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic

 

11


source used for the purpose of displaying the rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market”. If such rate is not published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers, which may include an agent for the sale of the Notes or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of such Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 

Bond Equivalent Yield =   

D X N

  

x 100

 

   360 — (D X M)   

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, N refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable interest reset period.

Notwithstanding the determination of the interest rate as provided above, the interest rate on this Note for any interest period will not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified above. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on this Note in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date.

The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination Date is the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

The Paying Agent will notify the Company of each determination of the interest rate applicable to this Note promptly after such determination is made by the Calculation Agent. The Paying Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of this Note, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note. The Paying Agent will not be responsible for determining the interest rate applicable to this Note.

If any Interest Payment Date specified above, other than an Interest Payment Date on the Maturity, would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and interest will continue to accrue, except that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR, and if such Business Day is the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after Maturity. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that, if the Specified Currency above is anything other than United States dollars, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center, as defined above, of the country issuing the Specified Currency or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, the day is also a TARGET business day. A “TARGET business day” is any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided, further, that, with respect to notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency in London.

 

12


If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CMT Rate or the Commercial Paper Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Federal Funds Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the Interest Reset Date. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Prime Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the first Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the second London Banking Day next preceding the Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency specified above is the British pound sterling, in which case the Interest Determination Date will be the Interest Reset Date. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is EURIBOR, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the second TARGET business day preceding each Interest Reset Date. If the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Treasury Rate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills of the Index Maturity specified above are normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction falls on any Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will instead be the first Business Day following the auction. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more interest rate bases, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis will be determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined on such date and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

Interest payments on this Note will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis specified above is the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate. If two or more Interest Rate Bases are specified above, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if the Day Count Convention specified above is “Actual/360” for the period specified thereunder or by the actual number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified above is “Actual/Actual” for the period specified thereunder.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, any payment to be made on this Note in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars will be made in United States dollars unless the Person entitled to receive such payment transmits a written request for such payment to be made in the Specified Currency to the Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed, hand delivered, or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Note payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all later payments on this Note payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent on or before the applicable Regular Record Date or at least fifteen calendar days before Maturity, as the case may be, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments.

The United States dollar amount of any payment made pursuant to this Note, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the Person entitled to receive such payment has not requested payment to be made in the Specified Currency as described in the preceding paragraph, will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based upon the highest bid quotation received by the Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, from three recognized foreign exchange

 

13


dealers selected by the Exchange Rate Agent (which dealers may include the Exchange Rate Agent) and approved by the Company in The City of New York, in each case for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for United States dollars and for settlement on such payment date of an amount of the Specified Currency for such payment equal to the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable on such payment date to all Holders of Securities who are scheduled to receive United States dollar payments on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If the bid quotations are not available on such second Business Day, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency for such payment. All currency exchange costs associated with any payment in United States dollars on this Note will be borne by the Holder entitled to receive such payment, by deduction from such payment.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the Specified Currency is not available for any amount payable on this Note on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date (including at Maturity) due to the imposition of exchange controls or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligation to pay such amount in such Specified Currency by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of such payment in United States dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, or if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The “Market Exchange Rate” for a Specified Currency other than United States dollars means the noon dollar buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency as certified for custom purposes or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars where the required payment is in other than United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Note.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the unpaid principal of all the Notes Outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified above (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage Reduction, specified above (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified above) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of such redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue Price specified above and the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.

For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity occurs for this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates specified above (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), an interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date specified above to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any

 

14


such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor and in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes if at any time (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes, or (ii) to the extent the Notes are payable in United States dollars only, such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America (other than obligations subject to prepayment, redemption or call prior to their stated maturity) as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment thereof), be sufficient to pay and discharge when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (c) unless the Notes are to become due and payable at their Maturity within one year, the Trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Notes of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge). Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Notes shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, and shall look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company which is absolute and unconditional to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rates, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed; subject, however, to the provisions for the discharge of the Company from its obligations under the Notes upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph and in the Indenture.

This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date (any date fixed for such redemption being the “Redemption Date”), if any, specified above, and prior to the Maturity Date specified above, in whole, or from time to time in part (if so specified above), in increments of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be an authorized denomination) at the Redemption Price, if any, specified above or in any applicable Addendum hereto, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the Holder of this Note at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, all as provided in the Indenture. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, from Notes that are subject to redemption pursuant to the terms thereof, the Note or Notes, or portion or portions thereof, to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same series in authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons and, if payable in United States dollars, only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable, or no longer eligible under the Indenture, to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

 

15


This Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange relating to this Note, but the Company or the Security Registrar 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 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and any other agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon, and no recourse upon any obligation of the Company in the Indenture or in any Note shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

PACCAR Financial Corp. , a Washington corporation (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Stated Maturity Date specified above, which shall be a day that is at least nine months from the Original Issue Date specified above, not to exceed 35 years (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof, or any earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any overdue principal and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at the Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes Outstanding 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 Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of a majority in the principal amount of the Securities issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of 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 Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of an individual series to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such individual series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu herefor, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in, and subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes if at any time (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes, or (ii) such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America (other than obligations subject to prepayment, redemption or call prior to their stated maturity) as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment thereof), be sufficient to pay and discharge when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the Maturity on, the Notes (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes and (c) unless the Notes are to become due and payable at their Maturity within one year, the Trustee has received an opinion of recognized tax counsel to the effect that such deposit and discharge will not result in recognition by the Holders of the Notes of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit and discharge). Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Notes shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, and shall look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed, subject, however, to the provisions for the discharge of the Company from its obligations under the Notes upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph and in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same series in authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different Authorized Denominations and of like tenor, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable, or no longer eligible under the Indenture, to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes

Such definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. If definitive Notes are so delivered, the Company may make such changes to the form of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such definitive Notes.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

SURVIVOR’S OPTION RIDER

If the Survivor’s Option is applicable to this Note, the authorized representative of a deceased beneficial owner of the Note or a beneficial interest in the Note shall have the option to elect repayment of such Note or interest following the death of such beneficial owner (a “Survivor’s Option”). Unless specifically provided on the face of this Note, no Survivor’s Option may be exercised unless the Note or a beneficial interest in the Note was owned by the beneficial owner or the estate of the beneficial owner at least six months prior to the Representative’s (as defined below) exercise of the Survivor’s Option.

Upon exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the Company shall repay any Note (or portion thereof) properly tendered for repayment by or on behalf of the person (the “Representative”) that has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of a 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 appropriate jurisdiction at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the beneficial interest of the deceased owner in such Note plus unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, the date of such repayment, subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion, limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in any calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”) to an amount equal to the greater of 2% of the outstanding principal amount of all Notes as of the end of the most recent calendar year or $2,000,000 in any such calendar year, or such greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year, and may limit to $250,000, or such greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) as to which exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted with respect to any individual deceased owner of beneficial interests in such Notes (the “Individual Put Limitation”).

(b) The Company shall not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option in amounts that are less than $1,000, or such other minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof, or that would result in a Note remaining Outstanding after repayment of less than $1,000, or such other minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.

(c) Any Note (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn and such Note (or portion thereof) may not be transferred prior to repayment.

Each Note (or portion thereof) that is tendered pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted promptly in the order all such Notes are tendered, except for any Note (or portion thereof) the acceptance of which would contravene any of the limitations described above, if applied, with respect to the relevant individual deceased owner of beneficial interests therein. If, as of the end of any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) that have been accepted pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has exceeded any of the limitations described above, if applied, for such year, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes (or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened either such limitation, if applied, shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order all such Notes (or portions thereof) were tendered. Any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs at least 20 calendar days after the date of such acceptance. In the event that a Note (or any portion thereof) tendered for repayment pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered Holder thereof at its last known address as indicated in the Security Register, that states the reason such Note (or portion thereof) has not been accepted for repayment.

In order for a Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised with respect to any Note (or portion thereof), the Trustee must receive from the Representative of the deceased beneficial owner (i) a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, (ii) tender of a Note (or portion thereof) to be repaid, (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee (A) that the deceased owner was a beneficial

 

11


owner of the Note at the time of death and his or her beneficial interest in such Note was owned by the deceased beneficial owner, including his or her estate, at least six months prior to the request for repayment, (B) that the death of such 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, (iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, (v) if the beneficial interest in such Note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership interest in such Note, (vi) tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Company or the Trustee reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Note and the claimant’s entitlement to repayment and (vii) any additional information the Company or the Trustee reasonably requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to document the beneficial ownership interest in, or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of, the Note (or portion thereof). Subject to the Company’s right hereunder to limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in any one calendar year, all questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a Note in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety with another or others shall be deemed the death of the Holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a Note by tenancy in common shall be deemed the death of a Holder of a Note only with respect to the deceased Holder’s interest in the Note so held by tenancy in common; except that in the event a Note is held by husband and wife as tenants in common, the death of either shall be deemed the death of the Holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in a Note shall be deemed the death of the Holder thereof for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered Holder, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee. A beneficial ownership interest shall 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 custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the Note during his or her lifetime.

With respect to Notes represented by a global Security, the Depositary or its nominee is treated as the Holder of such Note and therefore shall be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Notes. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect to such a Note, the Representative must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in such Note is held by the deceased beneficial owner (i) the documents described in the second preceding paragraph and (ii) a written instruction to such broker or other entity to notify the Depositary of such Representative’s desire to obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option. Such broker or other entity shall provide to the Trustee (i) the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Trustee from such broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing payments it receives from the Trustee pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option to the appropriate Representative.

(the “ Trustee ”), as set forth in the prospectus and prospectus supplements (together, the “ Prospectus ”) included in the Registration Statement and in supplements to the Prospectus.

The Company has informed us that the Securities will be sold or delivered on a delayed or continuous basis from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement (and any amendments thereto), the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement. We understand that prior to the sale of any Debt Securities under the Registration Statement, the Company will afford us an opportunity to review the operative documents pursuant to which such Debt Securities are to be sold and will file any applicable amendment to the Registration Statement (which may include as an exhibit an amendment to this opinion) or prospectus supplement as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate by reason of the terms of the sale of such Debt Securities.

As part of the corporate actions taken and to be taken in connection with the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities (the “ corporate proceedings ”), the Company has informed us that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) or a committee thereof or certain authorized officers of the Company as authorized by the Board will, before the Debt Securities are issued and sold under the Registration Statement, authorize the issuance and approve the terms of any Debt Securities to be issued and sold from time to time under the Registration Statement, and such applicable corporate proceedings shall be in full force and effect at the time of any such issuance and sale.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

  2. When (a) the issuance of the applicable Debt Securities has been duly authorized by appropriate corporate proceedings; (b) the final terms of the applicable Debt Securities have been duly established and approved; and (c) the applicable Debt Securities have been duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof as contemplated by the Registration Statement the Prospectus and any supplements to the Prospectus, and as contemplated by the applicable corporate proceedings, such Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms thereof and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
