Senior Note Facility Agreements The Parent Company has two separate facility agreements: a 10-year facility agreement (2035 Facility Agreement) with a Delaware trust (2035 Trust) and a 30-year facility agreement (2055 Facility Agreement) with a Delaware trust (2055 Trust). The trusts issued and sold pre-capitalized trust securities in private placements and invested the proceeds in a portfolio of principal and/or interest strips of U.S. Treasury securities (the Strips). These trusts are an off-balance sheet funding arrangement. The 2035 Facility Agreement provides the Parent Company the right to issue and sell to the 2035 Trust from time to time up to $1.0 billion of 5.251% senior notes due August 2035 in exchange for a corresponding amount of the Strips held by the 2035 Trust. The 2055 Facility Agreement provides the Parent Company the right to issue and sell to the 2055 Trust from time to time up to $1.0 billion of 5.991% senior notes due August 2055 in exchange for a corresponding amount of the Strips held by the 2055 Trust.
