Stock repurchases under this Program may be paid from existing available funds, from normal or special dividends from the Company’s subsidiaries, or from borrowings approved by the Executive Committee. The cost of any borrowings for stock repurchases shall be considered in Management’s analysis of the effect of the stock repurchases on the Company’s financial performance.
