Optional Redemption.
The Company may at its option elect to redeem the Notes in whole
on August 23, 1997 or on any Interest Payment Date thereafter
(each such date, an "Optional Redemption Date") at 100% of their
principal amount plus accrued interest to but excluding the date
of redemption (the "Redemption Date"). In the event the Company
elects to redeem the Notes, notice will be given to registered
holders not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date.
Certain Investment Considerations:
Prospective purchasers of the Notes should be aware that the
Notes will pay interest at different fixed rates each year
through the Maturity Date unless earlier redeemed by the
Company. Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the
Company has the option to redeem the Notes on any Optional
Redemption Date and will be likely to elect to redeem the Notes
in the event prevailing market interest rates are lower than the
then-current interest rate on the Notes.
