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.
Plan of Distribution:
The Notes are being purchased by Lehman Brothers Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as the "Underwriter") as principal at
a purchase price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that the Underwriter
proposes to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices determined at
the time of sale.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against and
contribute toward certain liabilities, including liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
