Certain Covenants of the Company.
As of August 1, 1996, the Company entered into a supplemental
indenture with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the
"Trustee"), eliminating the covenants of the Company described
in the Prospectus under the caption "Certain Covenants of the
Company". Consequently, the information under such caption is
not applicable to the Notes. As of February 27, 1997, the
Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Indenture
with the Trustee. References in the accompanying Prospectus
Supplement and Prospectus to "Indenture" shall be amended to
refer to such Third Amended and Restated Indenture.
Additional Information:
General.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
totalling $136.814 billion, consisting of notes payable within
one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated
notes payable after one year. The total amount of outstanding
indebtedness at December 31, 1997 excluding subordinated notes
payable after one year was equal to $136.117 billion.
Consolidated Ratio of Earning to Fixed Charges.
The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption
"Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby
amended in its entirety, as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
1993 1994 1995 1996 1997
1.62 1.63 1.51 1.53 1.48
For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings
to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted
for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and
fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and
discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which
the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the
interest factor of such rentals.
