Consolidated Ratio of Earning to Fixed Charges.
The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption "Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
|
Year Ended December 31, |
Three Months ended March 31, 2003 |

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
Additional Terms:
The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period will equal the Federal Funds Open Rate (as defined below) plus the Spread set forth above.
The "Federal Funds Open Rate" for an Interest Determination Date will be the rate for that day under the heading "Federal Funds" and opposite the caption "Open" as such rate is displayed on the Telerate Page 5.
If on a Calculation Date for an Interest Period such rate for an Interest Determination Date in that Interest Period does not appear on the Telerate Page 5, the rate for the Interest Determination Date will be the rate for that day displayed on FEDSPREB Index on Bloomberg which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane (or a successor) on Bloomberg.
If on a Calculation Date for an Interest Period such rate for an Interest Determination Date in that Interest Period does not appear on Telerate Page 5 or FEDSPREB Index on Bloomberg, the rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. Dollar Federal Funds prior to 9.00 am, New York City time, on that day arranged by three brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City as selected by the Calculation Agent.
