Collection of the Redemption Price is conditioned upon surrender of the Notes to
The Bank of New York in its capacity as paying agent (the "Paying Agent") at One
Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, at least one business day prior
to the Redemption Date. On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become
due and payable upon each Note redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in paying
the Redemption Price to holders of Notes called for redemption, interest on such
Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date. Thereupon, the
only remaining right of holders of Notes called for redemption shall be the
receipt of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest up to the Redemption Date.



Upon surrender of the Notes, as provided in the Indenture and after the
Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be
$74,000,000.



Upon the redemption, the Paying Agent shall endorse the Schedule to the global
note surrendered for redemption to reflect the decrease in principal or accreted
amount, as the case may be, resulting from such redemption.
