in the Account other than the Deposit.
SECTION 2.2 Interest. (a) The Deposit shall bear interest from and
including the date of deposit to but excluding the date of withdrawal at the

Final Withdrawal (as defined below), commencing on January 2, 1999 (each, an

Notice to and including such date, if any, specified in such Rescission
Notice.

First National Bank of Maryland, as Trustee.
"Rescission Notice" means a notice in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D, signed by the Escrow Agent, which shall be delivered in the
event that any increase in the interest rate referred to in the definition
of "Increase Notice" is no longer required pursuant to the Registration
Agreement (as defined above).
SECTION 2.3 Withdrawals. (a) On and after the date of the
establishment of the Deposit, the Escrow Agent may, by providing at least one

Exhibit A hereto (a "Notice of Purchase Withdrawal"), withdraw all or a portion
of the Deposit, except that at any time prior to the any such withdrawal, the

Deposit together with the payment by the Depositary of all accrued and unpaid
interest on the Deposit to but excluding the specified date of withdrawal (a
"Final Withdrawal"), on such date as shall be specified in such Notice of Final
Withdrawal. If a Notice of Final Withdrawal has not been given to the Depositary

date, the Depositary shall pay the amount of the Final Withdrawal to the Paying
Agent on October 31, 1999 (provided that if a Labor Strike occurs, such date
shall be extended by the Additional Days).
(c) If the Depositary receives a duly completed Notice of Purchase
Withdrawal or Notice of Final Withdrawal complying with the provisions of this
Agreement, it shall make the payments specified therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the fifth
Business Day after the later of the date on which (i) the entire amount of the
Deposit shall have been withdrawn and paid as provided herein and (ii) all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Deposit shall have been paid as provided
