Under the terms and conditions of the Terms Agreement, the Underwriters are
committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.



The Underwriters have advised the Corporation that they propose to offer the
Notes for sale from time to time in one or more transactions (which may include
block transactions), in negotiated transactions or otherwise, or a combination
of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The
Underwriters may effect such transactions by selling the Notes to or through
dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Underwriters and/or the
purchasers of the Notes for whom they may act as agent. In connection with the
sale of the Notes, the Underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation
from the Corporation in the form of underwriting discounts, and the Underwriters
may also receive commissions from the purchasers of the Notes for whom they may
act as agent. The Underwriters and any dealers that participate with the
Underwriters in the distribution of the Notes may be deemed to be underwriters,
and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale
of the Notes by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions.

      The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading
market. The Corporation currently has no intention to list the Notes on any
securities exchange. The Corporation has been advised by the Underwriters that
they intend to make a market in the Notes but are not obligated to do so and may
discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be
given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Notes.

      The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
