                                 ATTACHMENT 1

The Notes to which this Pricing Supplement pertains (all capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined having the meanings given them in the
Prospectus Supplement attached hereto) will be redeemable by the Company at the
option of the Holders thereof prior to the Stated Maturity date. Such Notes will
be subject to redemption at the option of the Holders thereof on any Holder's
Option Redemption Date specified above, in whole or from time to time in part in
increments of $1,000, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the unpaid
principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the date of
redemption. For such Notes to be redeemed, such Notes must be received, together
with the form thereon entitled "Option to Elect Redemption" duly completed, by
the Trustee at its office maintained for such purpose in The City of New York,
currently the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee located at 450 West 33rd
Street, New York, New York 10001, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior
to the date of redemption. Exercise of such redemption option by the Holder will
be irrevocable. 


Only the DTC (or a successor depositary), as the registered Holder of the Notes
to which this Pricing Supplement pertains, may exercise the redemption option in
respect of such Notes. Accordingly, Beneficial Owners of interests in such Notes
that desire to have all or any portion of such interests redeemed must instruct
the Participant through which they own their interest to direct DTC (or any
successor depositary) to exercise the redemption option on their behalf by
delivering the related Global Note and duly completed election form to the
Trustee as aforesaid. In order to ensure that such Global Note and election form
are received by the Trustee on a particular day, the Beneficial Owner must so
instruct the Participant through which it owns its interest before such
Participant's deadline for accepting instruction for that day. Different firms
may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers.
Accordingly, Beneficial Owners should consult the Participants through which
they own their interests for the respective deadlines for such Participants. All
instructions given to Participants from Beneficial Owners relating to the option
to elect redemption will be irrevocable. See "--Book-Entry Only Issuance - The
Depositary Trust Company" in the Prospectus Supplement attached hereto.
