shall be limited to one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000), except as provided in Sections

Subject to the release provisions set forth

irrevocably assigned to, and registered in the
name of, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
Association, as trustee, or a successor trustee
(said trustee or any successor trustee being
hereinafter referred to as the "Note Indenture

bear interest at the rate of 5.19% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and
October 1 of each year (commencing April 1,
2006), until the principal thereof shall have
become due and payable and thereafter until the
Company's obligation with respect to the
payment of said principal shall have been
discharged as provided in the Indenture. In
addition to the payment of principal and
interest as provided herein, in the event any
Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note
Indenture) shall be required to be paid by the
Company on the 5.19% Notes, there shall be due
and payable on the bonds of 2005 Series C an
additional amount equal to such Make-Whole

payment of any such amounts under the Note
Indenture.

thereof to which interest has been paid on
bonds of 2005 Series C, unless the bond is
authenticated on a date to which interest has
been paid, in which case interest shall be
payable from the date of authentication, or
unless the date of authentication is prior to
April 1, 2006, in which case interest shall be
payable from September 29, 2005.
