Other provisions:
PIBOR: For each Interest Reset Date, PIBOR will be the Paris inter-
bank offered rate for three month French Franc deposits as defined and
calculated by the Association Francaise des Banques (the "AFB") and as
published on Telerate Page 20041 (or such other page as may replace
that page on that service for the purpose of displaying such rate) as
of 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) on the Paris Banking Day preceding such
Interest Reset Date. If, on such preceding Paris Banking Day, the AFB
does not calculate or publish such rate, the Calculation Agent will
request the principal Paris office of each of four major banks in the
Paris interbank market to provide a quotation for the rate at which
three-month French Franc deposits are offered by it in the Paris
interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) on such
preceding Paris Banking Day to prime banks in the Paris interbank
market in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in
that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided,
the rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations (as determined by the Calculation Agent and rounded,
if necessary, to the fifth decimal place with 0.000005 being rounded
upwards). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested on
such preceding Paris Banking Day, the Calculation Agent will determine
PIBOR on the relevant Interest Reset Date and PIBOR will be the
arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the fifth decimal place
with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by at least
two major banks in Paris, selected by the Calculation Agent, at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) on that Interest Reset Date for
three month French Franc deposits to leading European banks in an
amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market
at that time provided that if the Calculation Agent is unable to
determine PIBOR in accordance with the above provisions in relation to
any Interest Period, PIBOR during such Interest Period will be PIBOR
as last determined in relation thereto. If, on the replacement of the
French Franc by the European single currency (the "Euro"), the
definition and/or basis of calculation of PIBOR changes, or such rate
ceases to exist and is replaced by a similar rate, such replacement or
changed rate shall apply. French authorities have issued an order
(Arrete) mandating that French Franc PIBOR will be replaced by EURIBOR
beginning January 1, 1999.
Paris Banking Day: Paris Banking Day means any day on which deposits
in French Francs are transacted in the Paris interbank market.
United States Federal Income Taxation:
The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998
eliminated the 18-month holding period requirement for certain individual
taxpayers to qualify for the lowest tax rate for capital gain. The minimum
holding period required to qualify for the lowest tax rate currently is 12
months.
