Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will
settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the limited
situations described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global
Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated".
Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.
In addition to this pricing supplement, the following provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master note: the
description of the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations
of Interest on Debt Securities Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of New York business
day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities Business Days"
in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the following unadjusted business day convention appearing under "Description
of Debt Securities We May Offer Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities Business Day Conventions" in the accompanying
prospectus and the section "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities
Interest Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued interest
factor will be determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count
convention. The factor is the number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360,
calculated on a formula basis as follows:

Day Count Fraction = [360 × (Y2 Y1)] + [30 × (M2 M1)] + (D2 D 1)

360

where:
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"Y2 " is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period

falls;
"M1 " is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period
falls;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the
interest period falls;
"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which
case D1 will be 30; and
"D2 " is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period, unless
such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.
When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will not be
entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial account
to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each February 19, May 19, August 19
and November 19 on or after May 19, 2018, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior notice in the
manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the redemption
notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the notes. If
any redemption date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other
payment due to the delay.

PS-5
What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This summary
supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact
that the interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally deem
an issuer to exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether
a debt instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before the
increase in the interest rate on May 19, 2020 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID
purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and is not an indication of our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the notes
prior to the increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted
issue price on May 19, 2020. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis
would apply to the increase in the interest rate on May 19, 2021 and May 19, 2022. If the notes are not called on the interest
payment date occurring on May 19, 2022 then, because the period between the interest payment date on May 19, 2022, and the
stated maturity date of the notes is one year or less, the notes, upon their deemed reissuance on May 19, 2022, could be treated
as short-term debt securities for OID purposes (but not for purposes of determining the holding period of your notes). For a
discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning short-term debt securities, please review the
section entitled "United States Taxation Taxation of Debt Securities United States Holders Short-Term Debt Securities" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Under this approach, and subject to the discussion above regarding short-term debt securities, interest on a note will be
taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's
normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the notes).
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or
otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between
(i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated
as such) and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal
the cost of the note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312517175204/d400570d424b2.htm[5/18/2017 5:08:03 PM]

Pricing Supplement No. 28 dated May 16, 2017
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation--Taxation of Debt Securities--Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or
after July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to published guidance,
the withholding tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other
disposition of the notes made before January 1, 2019.
