--$29,000,000 subseries 2009A-1;

While bonds bear interest in the weekly or daily rate modes, interest payments are the first business day of each month, commencing July 1, 2009. During the daily and weekly mode, holders may tender their bonds on any business day, provided the trustee and remarketing agent are given requisite prior notice of the purchase. The bonds are subject to mandatory tender: (1) during a commercial paper rate mode, on the Purchase Date; (2) upon conversion of the interest rate; and (3) upon expiration, termination or substitution of the LOC.
