DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the notes due 2013 and the notes due 2033 supplements,
and to the extent inconsistent, replaces the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities
set forth in the prospectus.

file:////Appsrv1/ljs/Karen's%20folder/fisd/Internet%20Temp/OK/157839.htm
General
The notes will be issued under a Senior Indenture between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
Trustee, dated as of February 1, 2003. A form of the Senior Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of which the accompanying prospectus is a part. The notes will be unsecured and will
have the same rank as all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Each series of notes will bear interest
from February 11, 2003 at the applicable annual rate of interest stated on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 commencing
August 15, 2003, to the persons in whose names such securities are registered at the close of business on the
February 1 or August 1 preceding each February 15 or August 15, payable in equal semi-annual installments.
Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Unless
previously redeemed, repurchased or cancelled as provided below, the notes due 2013 will mature at par on
February 15, 2013 and the notes due 2033 will mature at par on February 15, 2033. If an interest payment date or
the maturity date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next business day as if
it were made on the date the payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the
period from and after that interest payment date or the maturity date, as the case may be. A "business day," as
used in this prospectus supplement, means any day except Saturday or Sunday or any day on which banks are
permitted or required by applicable law or regulation to close in the place in which payment on the notes is
required, as the case may be.
The notes will be subject to defeasance as provided in "Description of the Debt Securities--Discharge and
Defeasance" in the accompanying prospectus. The notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.
We may, without the consent of the holders of notes, issue additional securities having the same ranking and
the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the notes and with the same CUSIP number; provided,
however, that no such additional securities may be issued unless such additional securities are fungible with the
notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional securities having such similar terms, together with the
notes, will constitute a single series of securities under the Senior Indenture. No additional securities may be
issued if an event of default has occurred with respect to the applicable series of notes.
We have appointed J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A., as paying agent and transfer agent in Luxembourg
with respect to the notes. As long as the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Company will
maintain a paying agent and transfer agent in Luxembourg, and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be
informed of any change in the Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent and any such change will be
published in Luxembourg. See "--Notices" below.
Optional Redemption
The notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at our option, at any time or from time to time, on at
least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice to holders of the notes given in accordance with "--
Notices" below, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
·
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid

file:////Appsrv1/ljs/Karen's%20folder/fisd/Internet%20Temp/OK/157839.htm
interest to the redemption date; or
·
the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined below,
discounted, on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months,
S-7
at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 20 basis points in the case of notes due 2013 and 25
basis points in the case of notes due 2033, plus in all cases, any accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of redemption.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes:
·
the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week,
appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any
successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity
corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three
months before or after the maturity date for the notes, yields for the two published maturities most
closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate
will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the
nearest month; or
·
if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation
date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for that redemption date.
The Treasury Rate will be calculated by us on the third business day preceding the redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent
Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would
be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes.
"Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed by us.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes:
