"Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, for any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations
for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain those prices on that Business
Day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, or (B) if we obtain fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date for
the Notes being redeemed.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means (1) each of Lehman Brothers Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and, in each case,

Company will appoint another primary U.S. Government securities dealer as a substitute and (2) any other U.S. Government securities dealers
selected by the Company.
If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Notes, then the depositary will select by lot the particular interest to be redeemed.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each holder of the Notes to be
redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on such
Notes or the portions called for redemption.
