    In order to facilitate the offering of the bonds, the
    underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain
    or otherwise affect the price of the bonds. Specifically, they
    may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short
    position in the bonds for their own accounts. In addition, to
    cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the bonds,
    the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the bonds in the
    open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling
    concessions allowed to dealers for distributing the bonds in the
    offering, if they repurchase previously distributed bonds in
    transactions to cover short positions established by them, in
    stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities
    may stabilize or maintain the market price of the bonds above
    independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to
    engage in these activities and may end any of these activities
    at any time.

    described in clause&#160;(1) above, cash as described in
    clause&#160;(3) above or, with certain exceptions, retired bonds
    as described in clause&#160;(2) above, the issuance must meet an
    &#147;earnings&#148; test. The adjusted net earnings, before

    interest requirements on all bonds outstanding at the time, plus
    the bonds to be issued, plus all indebtedness, if any, of prior
    rank. The adjusted net earnings are calculated with a deduction
    of $5,800,000 plus 2% of net additions to mortgaged property in
    lieu of actual retirements of mortgaged property. Based upon the
    results of our operations for the twelve months ended

    authentication and delivery of bonds as of the date of this

    $2,017&#160;million in principal amount of bonds, in addition to

    issuance of the New Bonds and the retirement of existing bonds
    with the proceeds of the New Bonds and by subsequent net

    DTC is a New York clearing corporation and a clearing agency
    registered under Section&#160;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds
    securities for its participants. DTC also facilitates the
    post-trade settlement of securities transactions among its
    participants through electronic computerized book-entry
    transfers and pledges in the participants&#146; accounts. This
    eliminates the need for physical movement of securities
    certificates. The participants include securities brokers and
    dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
    certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    The Depository Trust&#160;&#038; Clearing Corporation

    Purchases of the New Bonds within the DTC system must be made
    through participants, who will receive a credit for the New

    of each purchaser will be recorded on the appropriate
    participant&#146;s records. Beneficial owners will not receive
    written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but beneficial
    owners should receive written confirmations of the transactions,
    as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the
    participants through whom they purchased New Bonds. Transfers of
    ownership in the New Bonds are to be accomplished by entries
    made on the books of the participants acting on behalf of
    beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive
    certificates for their New Bonds of a series, except if use of

    Beneficial owners of New Bonds may wish to take certain steps to
    augment transmission to them of notices of significant events
    with respect to the New Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders,

    consenting or voting rights of Cede&#160;&#038; Co. to those
    participants to whose accounts the New Bonds are credited on the

    underwriters may receive compensation from us or from purchasers
    in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. The
    obligations of the underwriters to purchase New Bonds will be
    subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be
    obligated to purchase all of the New Bonds of a particular
    series if any are purchased. However, the underwriters may
    purchase less than all of the New Bonds of a particular series
    should certain circumstances involving a default of one or more
    underwriters occur.

    Underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions and
    syndicate covering transactions in accordance with Rule&#160;104
    under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to
    purchase the underlying New Bond so long as the stabilizing bids
    do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering
    transactions involve purchases of the New Bonds in the open
    market after the distribution has been completed in order to
    cover syndicate short positions. These stabilizing transactions
    and syndicate covering transactions may cause the price of the
    New Bonds to be higher than it would otherwise be if such
    transactions had not occurred.
