DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the 4.75% Notes due March 15, 2015 (the "4.75%
Notes") and the 5.75% Notes due March 15, 2019 (the "5.75% Notes") offered hereby (referred to in the
prospectus as the "Debt Securities") supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the
Debt Securities included in the accompanying prospectus. The 4.75% Notes and the 5.75% Notes are
collectively referred to in this prospectus supplement as the "Notes". The following summary of the Notes is
qualified in its entirety by reference in the accompanying prospectus to the description of the Indenture dated
as of June 1, 1992 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee").
General
The 4.75% Notes will mature at par on March 15, 2015. The 5.75% Notes will mature at par on March 15,
2019. The Notes will constitute part of the senior debt of the Company and will rank pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Notes will be issued in fully registered form
only, in denominations of $2,000 and additional multiples of $1,000. Principal of and interest on the Notes
will be payable, and the transfer of Notes will be registerable, through the Depositary, as described below.
Each 4.75% Note will bear interest from February 20, 2009 at the annual rate of 4.75%. Each 5.75% Note will
bear interest from February 20, 2009 at the annual rate of 5.75%. Interest on the 4.75% Notes and the
5.75% Notes will be payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15, commencing September 15, 2009,
to the person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the 14th calendar day
immediately preceding such date (whether or not a Business Day).
Interest payable at the maturity of the Notes will be payable to registered holders of the Notes to whom
principal is payable. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment will be postponed
to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and
after such interest payment date. If the maturity date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
payment of interest and principal may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such
payment will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date.
Interest payments for the Notes will include accrued interest from and including the date of issue or from and
including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to but excluding the
interest payment date or the date of maturity, as the case may be.
The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same
ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any additional notes having such
similar terms, together with the Notes, will constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No
additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
As used in this prospectus supplement, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that
is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City
of New York.

Investors may elect to hold interests in the Global Notes through the Depositary, Clearstream Banking
Luxembourg S.A. ("Clearstream") or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System
("Euroclear") if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are
participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants
through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's and Euroclear's names on the books of their
respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in the
depositaries' names on the books of the Depositary. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Clearstream and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as depositary for Euroclear (in such capacities, the "U.S. Depositaries").
Beneficial interest in the Global Notes will be held in denominations of $2,000 and additional multiples of
$1,000. Except as described below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to
another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee.
The Depositary has advised the Company as follows: the Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company
organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of
Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Depositary holds
securities deposited with it by its participants and records the settlement of transactions among its participants
in such securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depositary's participants include
securities brokers and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depositary. Access to the
Depositary book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies
that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.
Clearstream advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a bank. Clearstream holds
securities for its customers ("Clearstream Customers") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of
securities transactions between Clearstream Customers through electronic book-entry transfers between their
accounts. Clearstream provides to Clearstream Customers, among other things, services for safekeeping,
administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and
borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic securities markets in over 30 countries through established
depository and custodial relationships. As a bank, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg
Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier).
Clearstream Customers are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters,
securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.
Clearstream's U.S. customers are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks. Indirect access to
Clearstream is also available to other institutions such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that
clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Customer.
Distributions with respect to the Notes held through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of
Clearstream Customers in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.
S. Depositary for Clearstream.
Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants ("Euroclear Participants")
and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry
delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk
