   $ 350

7.125% notes due 2015

   $ 400

9.5% debentures due 2016

The premiums or discounts associated with each series of debt securities reflect the fair value market value adjustment relating to the Contribution as of March 7, 2007.

 

(6) The notes will be issued at 3.843% discount and are recorded at their discounted amount, with the discount to be amortized over the life of the notes.
(7) The $6 million adjustment represents the gain on the reversal of the fair value increment on the 7.875% notes due 2011, net of the early tender premium, tender offer fees and other costs. All amounts are presented net of tax.
