" Does this also mean that quarterly interest payments must be made (in cash)? Assuming fed funds and Libor rise, say, Libor 5.5%, would this mean interest of $30 million a quarter (10% interest to keep it simple, times $1.2 billion, divided by four), plus principal of $17 million, for total quarterly payments to Lucent of $47 million??"

If so. This would make UFCF positive in 1H03 very hard to reach with any level of comfort.

As far as ERICY and NT go. I think NT's VF amounts are less than 50 million. And ERICY's are about 250 milion as far as I can calculate!

Re : possibility of "Libor 5.5%" (LIBOR is London Inter-bank offered rate) (in other words ... "overnight money") (similar to Fed Funds) --

Oh come on !

5.5% LIBOR ! You think inflation is going to suddenly run up to near 5% or so ?
