Under current United States federal income  tax law, a trustee making  payment 
of interest  or principal  on  securities may  be  obligated to  apply  backup 
withholding to payments of the interest  or principal payable to a holder  who 
(i) has failed  to furnish the  trustee with a  valid taxpayer  identification 
number and certifications that the holder is not subject to backup withholding
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and that  the 
holder is a United States person (including a U.S. resident alien) as  defined 
by the  Code  or (ii)  has  failed  to provide  appropriate  certification  to 
establish that the holder is not a United States person.  Holders of Notes who
are United  States  persons  and  wish  to  avoid  the  application  of  these 
provisions should submit a  completed IRS Form W-9  when presenting the  Notes 
for payment.  Holders of Notes who are non-United States persons should submit
an appropriate IRS Form W-8.
