</TABLE>
The "Reference Rate" on the Notes will be a rate per annum
(expressed as a percentage) equal to the 3-MONTH U.S. TREASURY BILL RATE
(DETERMINED AS DESCRIBED BELOW) PLUS 0.40 PERCENT and will be subject to
adjustment effective as of each Reset Date (as defined below); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Reference Rate in effect for the period from and including the
seventh Relevant Business Day preceding an Interest Payment Date to but
excluding such Interest Payment Date will be the Reference Rate in effect on the
seventh Relevant Business Day preceding such Interest Payment Date.
A "Reset Date" means (i) the Wednesday of each week (subject
to the proviso in the preceding paragraph) and (ii) each Interest Payment Date.
The first Reset Date with respect to the Notes is the Issue Date.
-4-
<PAGE>
The "3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate" means, with respect to
any Reset Date:
(i) the auction average rate for U.S. Treasury Bills having an
index maturity of 3 months obtained from the most recent U.S. Treasury
Bill auction which occurs on the first Relevant Business Day during the
period from the Monday immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date
up to and including such Reset Date. The 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill
Rate currently appears on Telerate page 56 under the heading
"Investment Rate" in the row corresponding to the first Relevant
Business Day of the week containing the applicable Reset Date (where
"Telerate page 56" means Page 56 on the Dow Jones Telerate Service or
such other page as may replace that page on that service).
(ii) if there is no auction during the period from Monday
immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date up to and including
such Reset Date, then the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate for such
Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of quotations reported by three
leading U.S. Government securities dealers, according to their written
records and with reference to the 3:00 p.m. (New York City Time)
closing offered side yield quotations as of the corresponding Reset
Date, for actively traded 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills. If the
Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such quotations, the 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bill Rate for such Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean of
all such quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent.
(iii) if for any Reset Date, the Calculation Agent cannot
obtain any such quotations referred to in (ii) above, the 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bill Rate for such Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean of
quotations reported by three leading U.S. Government securities
dealers, according to their written records and with reference to the
3:00 p.m. (New York City Time) closing offered side yield quotations as
of the corresponding Reset Date, for the 3-month U.S. Treasury
securities with a remaining term to maturity closest to three months
and with a price closest to par as determined by the Calculation Agent.
(iv) if the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such
quotations referred to in (iii) above, the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill
Rate for such Reset Date shall be the same as the 3-month U.S. Treasury
Bill Rate for the immediately preceding Reset Date.
The auction average rate and the offered side yield quotations for 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bills will be obtained expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable (or, if not so expressed, will be
converted by the Calculation Agent to such a bond equivalent yield).
Values input into the formula for the Reference Rate, and
intermediate calculations expressed as a percentage, shall be rounded to five
(5) decimal places and the resulting Reference Rate expressed as a percentage
shall be rounded to three (3) decimal places. (FOR EXAMPLE, if the Reference
Rate calculation produced a result of 4.71254 percent, the Reference Rate would
be 4.713 percent). All dollar amounts resulting from application of the above
formula will be rounded to the nearest cent.
-5-
<PAGE>
The "Rate of Interest" with respect to any Interest Payment
Date shall be the rate as determined and calculated by the Calculation Agent by
adding the Reference Rate for each actual day elapsed from and including the
Issue Date or the preceding Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, to but
excluding the next Interest Payment Date (rounded to nine (9) decimal places,
Condition 5(II)(d) notwithstanding) and dividing the resulting total by the
number of such actual days elapsed.
