                              and February 12, 2006, provided that if any such

                              Business Day, then the required payment of
                              principal, premium, if any, and/or interest will
                              be made on the following day which is a Business
                              Day as if it were made on the date such payment
                              was due, and no interest shall accrue as a result
                              of such delayed payment.

Accrual of Interest:          Accrued interest will be computed by adding the
                              Interest Factors calculated for each day from the
                              Original Issue Date or from the last date to which
                              interest has been paid or duly provided for up to
                              but not including the day for which accrued
                              interest is being calculated. The "Interest
                              Factor" for any note for each such day will be
                              computed by multiplying the face amount of the
                              note by the interest rate applicable to such day
                              and dividing the product thereof by 360.
