Form:  Global Note.

Interest Reset Date:  Each Business Day to but excluding
         the Maturity Date.

Rate     Cutoff Date: Two Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date. The
         interest  rate in effect for each day following the Rate Cutoff Date to
         but excluding the Interest  Payment Date will be the rate prevailing on
         the Rate Cutoff Date.

Accrual  of Interest:  Accrued  interest will be computed by adding the Interest
         Factors  calculated  for each day from the Original  Issue Date or from
         the last date to which  interest has been paid or duly  provided for up
         to but not  including  the day for  which  accrued  interest  is  being
         calculated.  The "Interest  Factor" for any Note for each such day will
         be computed by multiplying  the face amount of the Note by the interest
         rate applicable to such day and dividing the product thereof by 360.

Interest Payment  Dates:  Quarterly  on each  February  7, May 7,  August 7, and
         November 7, commencing  February 7, 1996, provided that if any Interest
         Payment Date (other than the Maturity  Date) would  otherwise fall on a
         day that is not a Business Day, then the Interest  Payment Date will be
         the first  following  day that is a Business  Day. If the Maturity Date
         would  otherwise  fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment
         of principal and interest will be made on the first  following day that
         is a Business  Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due,
         and no  interest  on such  payment  will accrue for the period from and
         after the Maturity Date.

         Interest  payments will include the amount of interest accrued from and
         including the most recent  Interest  Payment Date to which interest has
         been  paid (or from  and  including  the  Original  Issue  Date) to but
         excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Calculation Date:  The earlier of (i) the fifth Business Day after each Interest
         Determination Date, or (ii) the Business Day immediately  preceding the
         applicable Interest Payment Date.

Interest Determination Date:  One Business Day prior to
         each Interest Reset Date.

Trustee, Registrar,   Authenticating  and  Paying  Agent:  PNC  Bank,   National
         Association,  under  Indenture  dated  as of May 1,  1994  between  the
         Trustee and the Corporation.

                                  UNDERWRITING

          Lehman Brothers, Lehman Brothers Inc. (the "Underwriter") is acting as
          principal in this transaction.

         Subject  to the terms  and  conditions  set forth in a Terms  Agreement
         dated November 2, 1995 (the "Terms Agreement"), between the Corporation
         and the  Underwriter,  and a Selling Agency  Agreement,  dated April 6,
         1995,  between the  Corporation  and Lehman  Brothers,  Lehman Brothers
         Inc., CS First Boston Corporation,  Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch
         & Co.,  Merrill  Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner & Smith  Incorporated,  Morgan
         Stanley & Co.  Incorporated,  Salomon  Brothers Inc, and UBS Securities
         Inc., the  Corporation has agreed to sell to the  Underwriter,  and the
         Underwriter has agreed to purchase,  $100,000,000  principal  amount of
         the Notes.

         Under the terms and conditions of the Terms Agreement,  the Underwriter
         is committed to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.

         The Underwriter  has advised the Corporation  that it proposes to offer
         the Notes for sale from time to time in one or more transactions (which
         may  include  block  transactions),   in  negotiated   transactions  or
         otherwise,  or a combination  of such methods of sale, at market prices
         prevailing  at the time of sale, at prices  related to such  prevailing
         market prices or at negotiated  prices. The Underwriter may effect such
         transactions  by  selling  the Notes to or  through  dealers,  and such
         dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
         concessions or commissions  from the Underwriter  and/or the purchasers
         of the Notes for whom they may act as  agent.  In  connection  with the
         sale of the  Notes,  the  Underwriter  may be deemed  to have  received
         compensation   from  the   Corporation  in  the  form  of  underwriting
         discounts,  and the Underwriter may also receive  commissions  from the
         purchasers of the Notes for whom they may act as agent. The Underwriter
         and any dealers that participate with the Underwriter in

         the distribution of the Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and any
         discounts or commissions  received by them and any profit on the resale
         of the  Notes by them may be  deemed to be  underwriting  discounts  or
         commissions.

         The Notes are a new issue of  securities  with no  established  trading
         market. The Corporation currently has no intention to list the Notes on
         any  securities  exchange.  The  Corporation  has been  advised  by the
         Underwriter  that it  intends  to make a market in the Notes but is not
         obligated to do so and may  discontinue  any market  making at any time
         without  notice.  No assurance  can be given as to the liquidity of the
         trading market for the Notes.

         The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain
         liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended.
