Optional Redemption

        The Notes will be redeemable,  in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company at any time at a  redemption  price  equal to the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal  amount of such Notes or (ii) as  determined by a Quotation  Agent
(as defined  below),  the sum of the present  values of the remaining  scheduled
payments of principal  and interest  thereon (not  including any portion of such
payments of interest  accrued as of the date of  redemption)  discounted  to the
redemption  date on a semiannual  basis  (assuming a 360-day year  consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted  Treasury  Rate,  plus, in the case of (i)
and (ii) above, as the case may be, unpaid accrued  interest thereon to the date
of redemption.

        "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the
rate per annum  equal to the  semiannual  equivalent  yield to  maturity  of the
Comparable  Treasury  Issue,  plus  0.15%,  assuming a price for the  Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal  amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

        "Comparable  Treasury Issue" means the United States  Treasury  security
selected by a Quotation  Agent as having a maturity  comparable to the remaining
term of the  Notes  to be  redeemed  that  would  be  utilized,  at the  time of
selection and in accordance with customary  financial  practice,  in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of such Notes.

        "Quotation  Agent" means the Reference  Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Trustee after consultation with the Company.  "Reference  Treasury Dealer" means
(i) Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its respective successors;  provided, however, that
if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.  Government  securities dealer
in New York City (a "Primary  Treasury  Dealer"),  the Company shall  substitute
therefor another Primary  Treasury  Dealer;  and (ii) any other Primary Treasury
Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

        "Comparable  Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date,
(i) the average of the Reference  Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption
date,  after  excluding the highest and lowest such  Reference  Treasury  Dealer
Quotations,  or (ii) if the  Trustee  obtains  fewer than  three such  Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

        "Reference  Treasury  Dealer  Quotations"  means,  with  respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the  Trustee,  of the bid and asked  prices for the  Comparable  Treasury  Issue
(expressed  in each case as a  percentage  of its  principal  amount)  quoted in
writing to the  Trustee by such  Reference  Treasury  Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

        Notice  of any  redemption  will be  mailed  at  least 30 days but not  
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be 
redeemed.

        Unless the Company  defaults in payment of the redemption  price, on and
after  the  redemption  date,  interest  will  cease to  accrue  on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption.

Miscellaneous Terms

        It is expected that  delivery of the Notes will be made against  payment
therefor on or about December 1, 1998, which is the fifth business day following
the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as "T + 5"). Purchasers
of Notes should note that the ability to settle  secondary  market trades of the
Notes effected on the date of pricing and the next  succeeding  business day may
be affected by the T + 5 settlement.
