INTEREST
The Notes will bear interest at a rate reset on the Interest Reset
Dates specified above. The interest rate in effect from the Original
Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date with respect to the Notes will be
the Initial Interest Rate. Thereafter, the interest rate per anum on the
Notes for each Interest Reset Period will be determined as the Prime Rate
minus a spread of 295.5 basis points.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated based on the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days. The initial Calculation Agent with
respect to the Notes will be The Chase Manhattan Bank.
If any Interest Payment Date or any Interest Reset Date would otherwise
be a day that is not a Business Day, such date will be postponed to the next
day that is a Business Day. For purposes of the offering
made hereby, "Business Day" as used herein and in the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement means each day on which commercial banks and foreign
exchange markets settle payments in The City of New York.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned
in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Notes will be sold to Chase Securities Inc. for resale to one or
more investors at a fixed public offering price. After the initial public
offering of the Notes, the public offering price and any concession or
discount may be changed.
