   In order for an election to be effective, o, the Exchange Agent, must receive

certificates representing NCF Shares currently held by you, a confirmation
evidencing the transfer of all NCF Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, or a
proper guarantee of delivery (as described below), no later than o, on the

by book-entry transfer on or prior to the Election Deadline also may make an
election by completing and executing the Form of Election (or a facsimile
thereof) and submitting it to the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline and by
having a Guarantee of Delivery properly completed and duly executed by the
Election Deadline by a member of a registered national securities exchange or of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a bank, broker, dealer,
credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good
standing of the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock
Exchange Medallion Signature Guarantee Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion
Program (subject to the condition that the certificates (or a confirmation
evidencing the transfer of all NCF Shares tendered by book-entry transfer), the
delivery of which is thereby guaranteed, are in fact delivered to the Exchange
Agent no later than o, on the date that is two business days after the Election
Deadline (the "Guaranteed Delivery Deadline")).

     If the Exchange Agent does not receive a properly completed and duly
executed Form of Election, accompanied by all stock certificates (or a
confirmation evidencing the transfer of all NCF Shares tendered by book-entry
transfer), by the Election Deadline (unless a Guarantee of Delivery has been
properly completed and delivered by the Election Deadline and such certificates
(or a confirmation evidencing the transfer of all NCF Shares tendered by
book-entry transfer) are received by the Exchange Agent by the Guaranteed
Delivery Deadline), the stockholder's NCF Shares will be treated as if no
election was made with respect to them.
