                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1)--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of
Case Credit Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Case Credit" or the "Company").
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements of Case Credit contain all adjustments which are of a normal
recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
September 30, 1998, and the results of operations, changes in shareholder's
equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. It is suggested that these
interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. Interim financial results
are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
 
(2)--ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. Components of comprehensive income include net
income and all other non-owner changes in equity. SFAS No. 130 requires that
an enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in
a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. For interim
reporting, the Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income in the
Notes to Financial Statements. See Note 6, "Comprehensive Income."
 
  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. This statement must be adopted no later than January 1,
2000, although earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133.
 
  Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use." The Company's accounting for costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use is consistent with the guidelines
established in the SOP and, as a result, the adoption of this statement had no
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
  The Company will adopt SOP No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," effective January 1, 1999. Adoption of this statement will have
no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
 
(3)--ASSET-BACKED SECURITIZATIONS
 
  During the first nine months of 1998, limited-purpose business trusts
organized by Case Credit issued $1,379 million of asset-backed securities to
outside investors. As of September 30, 1998, Case Credit has sold $1,403
million of U.S. and Canadian retail notes to the trusts in connection with
these issuances. During the first nine months of 1997, limited-purpose
business trusts organized by Case Credit issued $1,706 million of asset-backed
securities to outside investors. As of September 30, 1997, Case Credit had
sold $1,301 million of U.S. and Canadian retail notes to the trusts in
connection with these issuances. The proceeds from the sale of the retail
notes were used to repay outstanding debt and to finance additional
receivables.

(4)--LONG-TERM DEBT
 
  During the second quarter of 1998, Case Credit increased its $550 million
debt security program to $1 billion pursuant to a shelf registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May 1998. During the
first nine months of 1998, Case Credit issued $629 million of its medium-term
notes in the United States, with maturities of two to three years and interest
rates ranging from 5.8% to 6.0%, pursuant to this registration statement. The
net proceeds from the offerings will be used to fund Case Credit's growth
initiatives and for other corporate purposes, including repayment of short-
term indebtedness.
 
(5)--INCOME TAXES
 
  On a consolidated basis, the Company's 1998 year-to-date effective tax rate
of 35% was equal to the U.S. statutory rate. The Company's September 1997
year-to-date effective tax rate of 32% was lower than the U.S. statutory rate
primarily due to reductions in the tax valuation reserves in certain foreign
jurisdictions offset by state income taxes and foreign income taxed at
different rates.
 
(6)--COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
  Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." The components of comprehensive income for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, are as follows (in
millions):

(7)--OTHER MATTERS
 
  During the second quarter of 1998, Case Corporation announced the creation
of Case Capital Corporation, a broad-based financing company for the global
marketplace. Case Capital Corporation will include separate businesses that
offer loans and leases for construction, agriculture and other industries,
commercial lending within equipment industries, multiple lines of insurance
products and private label credit cards.
 
(8)--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  In the fourth quarter, Case Credit issued $159 million of floating and fixed
rate medium-term notes pursuant to its $1 billion shelf registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May 1998. These notes
have maturities that range between eighteen to twenty-four months and bear
interest based on three month LIBOR for the floating rate notes, and 6.24% for
the fixed rate notes. Also pursuant to the $1 billion shelf registration
statement, Case Credit issued $100 million principal amount of 6.125% notes
due October 15, 2001, and $100 million principal amount of floating rate notes
due January 21, 2000, with an initial rate of 5.91%.The net proceeds from
these issuances will be used to fund Case Credit's growth initiatives and for
other corporate purposes, including the repayment of short-term indebtedness.
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1998, Case Credit's Canadian subsidiary, Case
Credit Ltd, established a C$750 million medium-term note program pursuant to a
short form prospectus and prospectus supplement filed with the Canadian
Securities Administrators. As of the date of this filing, Case Credit has not
issued any medium-term notes under this program.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  During the fourth quarter, a limited-purpose business trust organized by
Case Credit priced $628.9 million of asset-backed securities for issuance to
outside investors. In connection with these issuances, Case Credit will sell
$448.6 million of retail notes to the trust in November 1998. An additional
$201.4 million of retail notes will be sold to the trust as receivables are
generated. The net proceeds from the sale of the retail notes will be used to
repay short-term indebtedness and to finance additional receivables.

                   CASE CREDIT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
 
NET INCOME
 
  Net income for the first nine months of 1998 of $62 million was consistent
with the comparable period of 1997. Net income for 1998 reflects higher
earnings as a result of increased levels of on-balance-sheet receivables,
including higher lease income from operating leases and higher realized gains
from the sale of retail notes under asset-backed securitizations. These
amounts were offset by increased interest expense as a result of higher
average on-book receivables, as well as increased depreciation of equipment on
operating leases.
 
REVENUES
 
  Case Credit reported total revenues of $264 million for the first nine
months of 1998 as compared to $201 million for the first nine months of 1997.
Finance income earned on retail notes and finance leases increased to $98
million in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to $75 million for the
same period in 1997, primarily due to increased levels of on-balance-sheet
receivables. In addition, operating lease income increased $23 million to a
total of $46 million for the first nine months of 1998, reflecting the growth
in Case Credit's operating lease portfolio.
 
EXPENSES
 
  Interest expense for the first nine months of 1998 was $103 million, up $31
million from the $72 million reported in the first nine months of 1997. The
increase in interest expense resulted from higher average debt levels during
the first nine months of 1998 as compared to the prior year period, primarily
due to the growth in Case Credit's on-balance-sheet receivables and increased
equipment on operating leases.
 
  Operating expenses increased $27 million to a total of $65 million in the
first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first nine months of 1997. This
increase primarily resulted from higher year-over-year depreciation expense
relating to Case Credit's larger operating lease portfolio, as well as higher
operating expenses in support of Case Credit's growth initiatives.
 
SERVICED PORTFOLIO
 
  During the first nine months of 1998, Case Credit's serviced portfolio of
receivables increased 30% over the same time last year to a record $6.4
billion. Growth in the first nine months of 1998 resulted from Case Credit's
focus on new markets and new products, including retail financing through Case
Credit's European joint venture, Case Credit Europe S.A.S. Gross receivables
originated in the first nine months of 1998 increased 41% for a total of $3.2
billion versus the same period in 1997. During the first nine months of 1998,
limited-purpose business trusts organized by Case Credit issued $1,379 million
of asset-backed securities to outside investors. Case Credit has sold $1,403
million of U.S. and Canadian retail notes to the trusts in connection with
these issuances. During the first nine months of 1997, limited-purpose
business trusts organized by Case Credit issued $1,706 million of asset-backed
securities to outside investors. Case Credit had sold $1,301 million of U.S.
and Canadian retail notes to the trusts in connection with these issuances.
The proceeds from the sale of the retail notes were used to repay outstanding
debt and to finance additional receivables.
 
YEAR 2000
 
  As used in this "Year 2000" disclosure, "the Company" or "Case" refers to
Case Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Case Credit
Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Case Credit"). In addition, all references
to "Case Industrial" reflect the consolidation of all majority owned
subsidiaries, excluding Case Credit.
 
                                      10

  In July 1996, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued EITF 96-14, "Accounting for the
Costs Associated with Modifying Computer Software for the Year 2000," which
requires that costs associated with modifying computer software for the Year
2000 be expensed as incurred. Through Case's ongoing process of evaluating and
performing systems and software upgrades and enhancements, the Company has
been actively addressing Year 2000 issues since 1995.
 
  Case Corporation understands that it is important to our customers and
stakeholders that Case's products, services and internal systems are not
adversely affected by the Year 2000. Case has implemented procedures that it
deems necessary to safeguard the Company from computer-related issues
associated with adverse effects as a result of improperly recognizing the
millennial date change. These procedures include inventorying/assessing,
planning, constructing/testing, and implementing/certifying, where necessary,
critical internal-use systems. The Company believes, based upon its review and
efforts to date, that future external and internal costs to be incurred for
the modification of internal-use software to address Year 2000 issues will not
have a material adverse effect on Case's financial position, cash flows or
results of operations. The Company believes, based upon its review and efforts
to date, that external and internal remediation costs to be incurred for the
modification of internal-use software to address Year 2000 issues will, in the
aggregate, approximate $40 million to $50 million through the end of 1999. As
Case Industrial and Case Credit share certain technology resources and
internal-use systems, all such remediation costs will be borne by Case
Industrial. Through September 30, 1998, Case Industrial has incurred
approximately $19 million of the estimated external and internal remediation
costs to address Year 2000 issues.
 
  Case has also undertaken a program to alert its suppliers and dealers of
Year 2000 issues. Based on its contacts with suppliers and dealers, the
Company believes that its most important suppliers will be Year 2000 compliant
by December 31, 1998. Case will continue to work with its remaining suppliers
and its dealers throughout 1999 to secure Year 2000 compliance by December 31,
1999. As a result, and subject to the Company's ongoing compliance efforts,
the costs and uncertainties relating to timely resolution of Year 2000 issues
applicable to the Company's business and operations are not reasonably
expected by the Company to have a material adverse effect on Case's financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
  Based upon Case's review and efforts to date, the Company currently
anticipates completion of critical Year 2000 compliance issues by mid-1999.
The Company plans to continue integration testing throughout the balance of
1999. In the event Case's Year 2000 compliance efforts, as well as the efforts
of the Company's suppliers and dealers, individually and in the aggregate, are
not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, cash flows and results of operations. As a result, the
Company is in the process of developing Year 2000 contingency plans that will
be designed to mitigate the impact on the Company in the event that its Year
2000 compliance efforts are not successful. The targeted completion date for
the Company's contingency planning is mid-1999.
 
  The information included in this "Year 2000" section represents forward-
looking statements and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements.
 
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
 
  The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its interest
rate exposures. Case Credit does not hold or issue financial instruments for
trading purposes. For information regarding Case Credit's interest rate risk
management, reference is made to Item 7 and Note 7 to the Case Credit
Financial Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There
has been no material change in the Company's market risk exposures that affect
the quantitative and qualitative disclosures as presented as of December 31,
1997.

     CASE CREDIT CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company", which term

value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Million Dollars

Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time

securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided

     Payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of

entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1997 (herein called the

Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,

the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $100,000,000.

     The Securities of this series will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

     The Securities of this series shall not provide for a sinking fund.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall

declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of

conditions set forth therein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the

Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest
on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,

denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

provisions thereof.

CUSIP No.  147433AE6


     This Security is a Book-Entry Security in a global form within the meaning
of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the
Depository or a nominee of a Depository.  This global Security is exchangeable
for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository or
its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and no
transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this Security as a whole by
the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository
to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository) may be registered except
in such limited circumstances.

          Unless this Security is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the issuer or

issued upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, this
Security is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

                            CASE CREDIT CORPORATION

     CASE CREDIT CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company", which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Million Dollars
($100,000,000) on January 21, 2000 ("Stated Maturity"), and to pay interest
thereon from and including October 27, 1998 or from and including the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date, quarterly on January 21,
April 21, July 21 and October 21 in each year, commencing January 21, 1999, at a
rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions below, until the
principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be the 15th calendar
day (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date;
provided, however, that interest payable at Stated Maturity shall include
interest accrued to but excluding the maturity date and shall be payable to the
person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities
of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series
may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as
more fully provided in said Indenture.

     The per annum rate of interest payable on this Security for each Interest
Period (as defined below) will be LIBOR (calculated as described below) on the
second Market Day (as defined below) preceding the Interest Reset Date (as
defined below) for such Interest Period plus 0.70%.

     Except as otherwise provided herein, all percentages resulting from any
calculation shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred
thousandth of a percentage point (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) being rounded
to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from
such calculation shall be

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

     Accrued interest from the date this Security is issued (the "Original Issue
Date") or from the last date to which interest has been paid is calculated by
multiplying the face amount of this Security by an accrued interest factor,
computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from such
starting date to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being
calculated.  The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day is
computed by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to
such day by 360.

     The rate of interest on this Security shall be reset quarterly (each an
"Interest Reset Date").  The Interest Reset Date shall be the first day of any
Interest Period, provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect from
the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Payment Date will be 5.90922% and
(ii) the interest rate in effect for the ten days immediately prior to Stated
Maturity shall be that in effect on the tenth day preceding such Stated
Maturity.  If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Market Day, the Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a
Market Day, except that if such Market Day is in the next succeeding calendar
month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Market Day.
"Interest Period" means the period beginning on and including October 27, 1998
to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period from
and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest
Payment Date.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days in the applicable Interest Period divided by 360.

     In lieu of Section 1.13 of the Indenture, if any Interest Payment Date
would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Market Day, such Interest Payment
Date shall be the next succeeding Market Day, or if such succeeding Market Day
falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next
preceding Market Day.  "Market Day" means each Business Day on which dealings in
deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
"Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are
transacted in the London interbank market.  In lieu of Section 1.13 of the
Indenture, if Stated Maturity falls on a day that is not a Market Day, Stated
Maturity shall be the next succeeding Market Day (or if such next succeeding
Market Day is in the next calendar month, the next preceding Market Day).  The
Interest Determination Date shall be the second Market Day preceding the
Interest Reset Date for such Interest Period.

     LIBOR with respect to any Interest Reset Date shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          (i) LIBOR will be the rate for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in
     the London interbank market, that appears on the Telerate Page 3750, as of
     11:00 A.M., London time, on the Interest Determination Date applicable to
     such Interest Reset Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated
     as page "3750" on Dow Jones Markets Limited (or such other page as may
     replace the 3750 page on that service or such other service or services as
     may be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of
     displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no
     rate appears on the Telerate Page 3750 or if the Telerate page 3750 is
     unavailable, LIBOR in respect of that Interest Reset Date shall be
     determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii)
     below.

          (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate
     appears on Telerate Page 3750 or if the Telerate page 3750 is unavailable,
     LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00
     A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date at which three-month
     deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to lending banks in the London
     interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market
     selected by the Calculation Agent commencing on the second Market Day
     immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal
     amount equal to an amount not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that in the
     Calculation Agent's judgment is representative for a single transaction in
     such market at such time (a "Representative Amount"). The Calculation Agent
     shall request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide
     a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided,
     LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean
     of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR with
     respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the
     rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such
     Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York,
     selected by the Calculation Agent, for three-month loans in U.S. dollars to
     leading European banks commencing on the Interest Reset Date and in a
     Representative Amount; provided, however, that, if fewer than three banks
     selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in
     this sentence, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the
     LIBOR in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

     The Calculation Agent with respect to this Security shall be The Bank of
New York.  The Calculation Agent shall calculate the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
interest rate on this Security in accordance with the foregoing on each Interest
Determination Date. The Calculation Agent's determination of any Interest Rate
shall be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. The interest rate
on this Security shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

     The Calculation Agent shall upon the request of the Holder of this
Security, provide to such Holder the interest rate hereon then in effect, and,
if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next
Interest Reset Date.

     Payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to herein by manual signature, this Security shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1997 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $100,000,000.

     The Securities of this series will not be redeemable prior to maturity.

     The Securities of this series shall not provide for a sinking fund.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.

                                      -5-

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of

amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest

herein prescribed.

upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series
and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount

<PAGE>
 
Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Underwriting Agreement, dated October 22, 1998, between the Corporation and the
Underwriters.  Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Prospectus, dated July 20, 1998,  and the Prospectus
Supplement thereto, dated October 22, 1998 (the "Prospectus Supplement"),
relating to the Floating Rate Notes.

     For the purpose of appointing an agent to calculate the interest rate of
the Floating Rate Notes, the Corporation and The Bank of New York agree as
follows:

     1.   Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the
Corporation hereby appoints The Bank of New York as its agent (in such capacity,
the "Calculation Agent") for the purpose of calculating the interest rates on
the Floating Rate Notes in the manner and at the times provided in the Floating
Rate Notes and the Prospectus Supplement.

     2.   The Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the
interest rates on the Floating Rate Notes and shall communicate the same to the
Corporation, the Trustee, The Depository Trust Company and any paying agent
identified to it in writing as soon as practicable after each determination.
The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the holder of a Floating Rate
Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Floating Rate
Notes and, if determined, the interest rate with respect to the Floating Rate
Notes which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.  The
Calculation Agent and the Corporation agree to comply with the Administrative
Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit A.  No amendment to the provisions of the
Administrative Procedures relating to the duties or obligations of the
Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written
consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
<PAGE>
 
     3.   The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all
of which the Corporation agrees:

          (a) The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as
may be agreed upon with the Corporation for all services rendered by the
Calculation Agent, and the Corporation promises to pay such compensation and to
reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses) incurred by it
in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such
invoices as the Corporation shall reasonably require.  The Corporation also
agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against,
any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and
expenses of defending against any claim of liability) incurred by the
Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting
appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may
result from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Calculation
Agent or any of its agents or employees.  The Calculation Agent shall incur no
liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation for, or
in respect of, any actions taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken in
good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (i) the opinion or advice
of legal or other professional advisors satisfactory to it or (ii) written
instructions from the Corporation.  The Calculation Agent shall not be liable
for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information
used in good faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

          (b) In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Floating
Rate Notes, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Corporation
and does not assume any obligations or relationship of agency or trust for or
with any of the owners or holders of the Notes.

          (c) The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no
liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or
anything suffered by it in reliance upon the terms of the Floating Rate Notes,
any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper,
document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have
been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

          (d) The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and
shareholders may become the owners of, or acquire any interest in, the Floating
Rate Notes, with the same rights that it or they would have it were not the
Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Corporation as freely as if it were not the Calculation
Agent.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
          (e) Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Corporation for any act or
omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or
them, except in the case of its or their negligence or willful misconduct.

          (f) The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel, and the written
advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

          (g) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties
and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties
or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Calculation Agent.

          (h) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order,
certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the
Corporation made or given by it under any provision of this Agreement shall be
sufficient if signed by any officer of the Corporation.

          (i) The Calculation Agent may, upon obtaining the prior written
consent of the Corporation, perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
or through agents or attorneys, and the Calculation Agent shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

          (j) The Corporation will not, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of the Calculation Agent, make any change to the Notes in the
forms filed as exhibits to the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended September 30, 1998 if such change would materially and
adversely affect the Calculation Agent's duties and obligations under this
Agreement.

     4.   (a)  The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent
by giving written notice to the Corporation of such intention on its part,
specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective;
provided, however, that such date shall never be earlier than 30 days after the
receipt of such notice by the Corporation, unless the Corporation agrees to
accept less notice.  The Calculation Agent may be removed at any time by the
filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Corporation
and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become
effective.  Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the
appointment by the Corporation, as hereinafter provided, of a successor
Calculation Agent. If, within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has
been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the
Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Corporation, petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent.  A successor
Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Corporation by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of the Corporation and the successor Calculation Agent.
Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of
such appointment, the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be such
Calculation Agent hereunder.  Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation
Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Corporation of its compensation,
if any

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services
rendered by it hereunder.

          (b) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute
and deliver to its predecessor and to the Corporation an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements
then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and deliver, and such
successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant
records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

          (c) Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent may be merged, or
any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting form any merger or consolidation to which the Calculation
Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate
trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
provided that it shall be a nationally recognized financial firm or institution
having an established place of business in The City of New York, be the
successor Calculation Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
Notice of any such merger, consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the
Corporation and the Trustee.

     5.   Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be delivered in
person, sent by letter or telecopy or communicated by telephone (subject, in the
case of communication by telephone, to confirmation dispatched within twenty-

Any notice hereunder given by telephone, telecopy or letter shall be deemed to
be received when in the ordinary course of transmission or post, as the case may
be, it would be received.

     6.   This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws
principles thereof.

     7.   This Agreement may be executed by each of the parties hereto in any
number of counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and
