                                    INTEREST RESET

     Reset Periods.  A "Reset Period" shall mean each of the following 
periods; the period from and including February 5, 1996 through the day 
immediately preceding but excluding the Interest Payment Date in February 
1997 (the "Initial Reset Period"); the period from and including the 
Interest Payment Date in February 1997 through the day immediately preceding 
but excluding the Interest Payment Date in February 1998; and the period 
from and including the Interest Payment Date in February 1998 to, but 
excluding, the stated Maturity Date of the Notes.

     Not earlier than the 45th day and not later than the 30th day prior to 
the commencement of any Reset Period subsequent to the Initial Reset Period 
(a "Notification Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an 
officer's certificate establishing the Spread (as defined below) for such 
subsequent Reset Period.  If the Company fails to deliver timely such 
officer's certificate to the Trustee, the Spread for the subsequent Reset 
Period shall be the Spread in effect during the immediately preceding Reset 
Period.

     On or before the Business Day immediately following any Notification 
Date, the Company will cause notice to be mailed to each holder of the Notes 
of the Spread with respect to the immediately following Reset Period that is 
set forth in the officer's certificate described above.  As long as the 
Notes are represented by one or more permanent Global Notes, a nominee of 
The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") will be the holder of the 
Notes and, therefore, will be the only entity that is entitled to such 
notice.

     Interest Rate.  The per annum rate of interest for each Reset Period 
will be (i) The Prime Rate (as defined in the accompanying Prospectus)  
minus (ii) a spread (the "Spread"), determined as described above. The 
Spread for the Initial Reset Period will be 283 basis points.  The Interest 
Rate during the each Reset Period will reset each Business Day (each an 
"Interest Reset Date") to but excluding the Maturity Date, provided however, 
the Interest Rate in effect for the two Business Days preceding each 
Interest Payment Date will be the Interest Rate in effect on the second 
Business Day preceding such Interest Payment Date.  The Interest 
Determination Date with respect to each Interest Reset Date will be the 
Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest 
Payment Dates, with respect to the each Reset Period will be on each 
February 5, May 5, August 5, and November 5, with the first Interest Payment 
Date being May 5, 1996.

     Except as may otherwise be specified with respect to any subsequent 
Reset Period, interest payable on the Notes will include interest accrued 
from and including the Issue Date or from and including the last Interest 
Payment Date to which interest has been paid to, but excluding, the next 
succeeding Interest Payment Date, or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

     The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the holder of any 
Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect.  All calculations made by 
the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive 
for all purposes and binding on the Company and the holders of the Notes.

                       REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDER

     Each Note will be repayable in whole or in part on the Interest Payment 
Dates occurring in February 1997 and in February 1998 (each, an "Election 
Date") at the option of the holder of such Note, at 100% of its 

<PAGE>3


principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of repayment.  For any 
Note to be repaid, such Note must be received, together with the form
thereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee 
at its Corporate Trust Office (or such other address of which the Company 
shall from time to time notify the holders) not more than 30 nor less than 
15 calendar days prior to the date of repayment.

     While the Book-Entry Notes are represented by the Global Note or Notes 
held by or on behalf of the Depositary, and registered in the name of the 
Depositary or the Depositary's nominee, the option for repayment may be 
exercised by the applicable participant that has an account with the 
Depositary, on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Global Note or Notes 
representing such Book-Entry Notes, by delivering a written notice 
substantially similar to the above mentioned form to the Trustee at its 
Corporate Trust Office (or such other address of which the Company shall 
from time to time notify the holders), not more than 30 nor less than 15 
calendar days prior to the date of repayment.  Notices of elections from 
participants on behalf of beneficial owners of the Global Note or Notes 
representing such Book-Entry Notes to exercise their option to have such 
Book-Entry Notes repaid must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 P.M., New 
York City time, on the last day for giving such notice.  In order to ensure 
that a notice is received by  the Trustee on a particular day, the 
beneficial owner of the Global Note or Notes representing such Book-Entry 
Notes must so direct the applicable participant before such participant's 
deadline for accepting instructions for that day.  Different firms may have 
different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers.  
Accordingly, beneficial owners of the Global Note or Notes representing 
Book-Entry Notes should consult the participants through which they own 
their interest therein for the respective deadlines for such participants.  
All notices shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such 
participant (with signature guaranteed) and shall be irrevocable.  In 
addition, beneficial owners of the Global Note or Notes representing Book-
Entry Notes shall effect delivery at the time such notices of election are 
given to the Depositary by causing the applicable participant to transfer 
such beneficial owner's interest in the Global Note or Notes representing 
such Book-Entry Notes, on the Depositary's records, to the Trustee.

     The Company does not intend to establish a sinking fund or otherwise 
set aside any amounts for the repayment of the Notes.

     All capitalized terms used above but not defined herein shall have the 
meanings given to the them in the accompanying Prospectus.  


                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated 
("Merrill Lynch") has purchased the Notes as principal at a price equal to 
99.925% of the aggregate principal amount for resale to investors and other 
purchasers at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.  After 
the initial public offering, the public offering price and concession may be 
changed.  The Company has agreed to pay to Merrill Lynch on each Election 
Date an amount equal to .075% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes 
outstanding at the close of business on such dates.

                         U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     If the Company resets the pre annum rate of interest for any Reset 
Period and the beneficial owner does not elect to have the Company repay the
<PAGE>4

Note, then for federal income tax purposes the beneficial owner may be 
deemed to have exchanged the Note for a new Note.  As a result of the deemed 
exchange, the beneficial owner may recognize a gain or loss on the deemed 
exchange of the instruments.

     THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCE DESCRIBED ABOVE IS 
INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING 
UPON A HOLDER'S PARTICULAR SITUATION.  HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX 
ADVISORS WITH  RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE OWNERSHIP AND 
DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES.
