The Notes called for redemption shall become due on the Redemption Date. For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable: "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption Date: the average of the bid and the asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount, at 4:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding that Redemption Date, as set forth on "Telerate Page 500," or such other page as may replace Telerate Page 500; or if Telerate Page 500, or any successor page, is not displayed or does not contain bid and/or asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue at that 2 time, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Trustee for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or, if the Trustee is unable to obtain at least four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Trustee. "Independent Investment Banker" means Lehman Brothers Inc. and any successors or, if it is unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Company. "Reference Treasury Dealer" means Lehman Brothers Inc. and any successors and four other primary United States government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Independent Investment Banker (each, a "Primary Treasury Dealer"); provided that, if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer therefor. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, an average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes, 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. "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity, computed as of the third business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount, equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date. 9. There is no obligation of the Company to redeem or purchase the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions, or to repay any of the Notes prior to Stated Maturity at the option of a holder thereof. 10. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. 11.
