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.
Documents Incorporated by Reference.
The information contained in the Prospectus in the first
paragraph of text under the caption "Documents
Incorporated by Reference" is hereby amended in its
entirety, as follows: There is hereby incorporated in
the Prospectus by reference the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997,
heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act to which reference
is hereby made.
