the principal amount being purchased to the date of purchase. If the Company
elects to repurchase the Notes, it shall pay the purchase price therefor in
same-day funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Callholder on
the Call Settlement Date.
The Callholder will notify the Company and the trustee of the Trust
(the "Trust Trustee"), not later than five Business Days prior to the Call
Settlement Date, of its intention to purchase the Notes subject to the
exceptions described herein. The Company thereafter will notify the Trust
Trustee and the Callholder, not later than the Business Day immediately

Notes on the Call Settlement Date is subject to the condition that no Event of
Default, or any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or

occurred and be continuing.

Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (the "Calculation Agent") by 4:00 p.m., New

one percent per annum and will be the Base Rate (7.114%) plus the Spread, which

determined in the manner specified in the next succeeding sentence, shall be the
lowest bid, expressed as a spread in the terms of the Base Rate given the Dollar
Price as calculated in the prior sentence. The Spread will be obtained by the
Calculation Agent on the Determination Date from each of five leading dealers of
publicly traded debt securities of the Company in The City of New York (which
may include the Calculation Agent or one of its affiliates) selected by the
Calculation Agent, for the full aggregate principal amount of the Notes, but
assuming an issue date on August 15, 2004, a stated annual interest rate equal
to the Base Rate plus the spread bid by such dealer, for settlement, without
accrued interest, on August 15, 2004. If fewer than five such dealers bid as
described above, then the Spread shall be the arithmetic mean of the bids
obtained, determined as described above. Notwithstanding the calculation of the
Spread described above, if the Calculation Agent and the Company agree, the
Callholder and the Company may mutually determine the Interest
3
Rate to Maturity for the Notes. The Interest Rate to Maturity announced by the
Calculation Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon
the beneficial owners and holders of the Notes, the Company and the Trustee.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to the Call Settlement Date, the
rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or
interpolated (on a day count basis) yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury

Treasury Price (as defined below) for such Call Settlement Date.

Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Call
Settlement Date, the average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the
offer prices for the Comparable Treasury Issues (expressed in each case as a

preceding such call Settlement Date.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of CS First Boston Corporation,
Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated and Salomon Brothers Inc. and their respective

another Primary Treasury Dealer.

remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof to be purchased and
interest thereon, to the extent of the Base Rate (7.114%) only, that would be
due after the related Call Settlement Date but for such purchase; provided,
however, that, if such Call Settlement Date is not an Interest Payment Date with
respect to such Notes, the amount on the next scheduled interest payment
thereon, to the extent of the Base Rate only, will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued thereon, to the extent of the Base Rate only, to such Call
Settlement Date.

If the Callholder has exercised its right to call the Notes and the
Company has not previously notified the Callholder and the Trustee of its
intention to exercise its right to purchase the Notes from the Callholder, the
Callholder will notify the Company and the Trustee by telephone, confirmed in

one percent per annum and will be the Base Rate (6.194%) plus the Spread, which

determined in the manner specified in the next succeeding sentence, shall be the
lowest bid, expressed as a spread in the terms of the Base Rate given the Dollar
