SPECIAL PROVISIONS
The Interest Rate Basis will be the "Constant Maturity
Treasury Rate" which is the rate set forth in H.15(519) opposite
the caption "U.S. Government/Securities/Treasury/Constant
Maturities/", decompounded from a semi-annual to a quarterly
equivalent rate. The decompounded rate will calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
b= [{a/200 + 1} ^ (1/2) ] -1] x 4 x 100,
where, "a" is the semi-annual interest rate, expressed as a
percentage,
"b" is the quarterly interest rate, and
the symbol ^ means "raise to the power of".
If the H.15(519), or any successor publication, is not
available, the "Constant Maturity Treasury Rate" shall be the rate
that is set forth on Telerate Page 7055, or its successor Page, as
determined by Salomon Brothers Inc. If no such rate is set forth,
then to establish the Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, Salomon
Brothers Inc will contact the Federal Reserve Board and request the
Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, in the applicable Index Maturity,
for the Interest Reset Date. If the Federal Reserve Board does not
provide such information, then the Constant Maturity Treasury Rate
for such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of
quotations reported by three leading U.S. government securities
dealers (one of which may be the Treasury Rate Determination
Agent), according to their written records, with reference to the
3:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the Interest Determination Date
closing bid-side yield quotations for the noncallable U.S. Treasury
Note that is nearest in maturity to the Index Maturity, but not
less than exactly the Index Maturity and for the noncallable U.S.
Treasury Note that is nearest in maturity to the Index Maturity,
but not more than exactly the Index Maturity. Salomon Brothers Inc
shall calculate the Constant Maturity Treasury Rate by
interpolating to the Index Maturity based on an Actual/Actual day
count basis, the yield on the two Treasury Notes selected. If
Salomon Brothers Inc cannot obtain three such adjusted quotations,
the Constant Maturity Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date
will be the arithmetic mean of all such quotations, or if only one
such quotation is obtained, such quotation by Salomon Brothers Inc
In all events, Salmon Brothers Inc shall continue polling dealers
until at least one adjusted yield quotation can be determined.
The Initial Interest Rate will be established on or about
April 4, 1994 by referring to the rate that appears on Telerate
Page 7055, or its successor page, for March 31, 1994.
