required pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles or
otherwise, of any such Debt or other obligation on the balance sheet
of such Person (and "Incurrence", "Incurred", "Incurrable" and
"Incurring" shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing);
provided, however, that a change in generally accepted accounting
principles that results in an obligation of such Person that exists
at such time becoming Debt shall not be deemed an Incurrence of such
Debt; provided further, however, that the accretion of original issue
discount on Debt shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt.
Debt otherwise Incurred by a Person before it becomes a Subsidiary
of the Company shall be deemed to have been Incurred at the time it
becomes such a Subsidiary."
(c) The definition of "Investment" contained in Section 101 of
the Indenture is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"'Investment' by any Person means any direct or indirect loan,

fees and expenses of the Company reasonably incurred in connection
with the renewal, refunding or extension, provided that such renewal,
refunding or extension shall constitute Permitted Debt only (a) to
the extent that it does not result in an increase in the aggregate
principal amount (or, if such Debt provides for an amount less than
the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration
of acceleration of the maturity thereof, in an amount not greater
than such lesser amount) of such Debt (except as permitted by clause
(A) or (B) above), (b) to the extent such renewed, refunded or
extended Debt does not require the payment of all or a portion of the
principal thereof (whether pursuant to repurchase, redemption,
repayment, defeasance, retirement, sinking fund payment, payment at

be renewed, refunded or extended; provided, however, that in no event
shall the aggregate amount of Debt that is Incurred and outstanding
under clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) at any time exceed $1,910,000,000;
provided further, however, that no Debt that is represented by
unsecured notes originally issued by the Company on or after June 1,
1997 and ranking pari passu with the Securities ("New Notes") shall
be Incurred under clause (iii) above, unless the amount of Debt
represented by the issue of New Notes could have been Incurred, on or
