redemption  date;  or (b) the sum, as determined  by an  independent  investment
banker  appointed  by  JPMorgan  Chase Bank,  the trustee for the notes,  of the

redemption date),  discounted from the scheduled payment dates to the redemption
date on a semi-annual basis at a treasury rate (calculated on the third business
day  preceding the  redemption  date pursuant to the terms of the notes) plus 25
