REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDER
Each Note will be repayable by the Company at the option of the
registered holder thereof on April 15, 2002, at 100% of its principal
amount, together with interest payable to the date of repayment. For any
Note to be repaid, the Company must receive such Note at its office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (currently, the
office of the Corporate Trustee), within the period commencing February 15,
2002, and ending at the close of business on March 15, 2002 (or, if such
March 15 is not a business day, the next succeeding business day), together
with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of, or
otherwise accompanying, such Note duly completed. Any such election so
received by the Company within such period shall be irrevocable. The
repayment option may be exercised by the registered holder of a Note for
less than the entire principal amount of such Note, provided that the
principal amount to be repaid is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repayment will be determined by the
Corporate Trustee, whose determination will be final and binding.
So long as the Depository or the Depository's nominee is the
registered holder of the Notes, the Depository or such nominee will be the
only entity that can exercise the repayment option, and repayment will be
made in accordance with the Depository's repayment procedures in effect at
the time. See "Book-Entry System" in the accompanying Prospectus. In
order to ensure that the Depository or its nominee will timely exercise a
repayment option with respect to a particular beneficial interest in the
Notes, the Beneficial Owner of such interest must instruct the broker or
other Direct or Indirect Participant through which it holds such interest
to notify the Depository of its election to exercise the repayment option.
In addition, the Beneficial Owner must effect delivery of such interest at
the time such notice of election is given to the Depository by causing the
broker or other Direct or Indirect Participant through which it holds such
interest to transfer such interest on the Depository's records to the
Corporate Trustee. Different firms have different deadlines for accepting
instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each Beneficial Owner
should consult the broker or other Direct or Indirect Participant through
which it holds an interest in the Notes in order to ascertain the deadline
by which such instruction must be given in order for timely notice to be
delivered to the Depository.

1945, as amended and supplemented, pursuant to which the Secured Medium-
Term Notes are being issued.
