statements of income and cash flows of the Company for the three-month period
ended as of such date, copies of which in each case were furnished or made
available to the Purchaser prior to the date hereof, present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the consolidated
results of operations for the period covered thereby. All of the
foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said

in the immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries.

giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, nothing has occurred that
has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION

taken or will take any other action (including, without limitation, any offering
of any securities of the Company under circumstances that would require, under
the Securities Act, the integration of such offering with the offering and sale
of the Supplementary Notes), which would subject the sale of the Supplementary
Notes contemplated hereby to the registration provisions of the Securities
Act.
