NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The information at June 30, 1996 and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) which the management of ALZA Corporation
("ALZA") believes necessary for fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the
full year.  The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1995 included in ALZA's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2.  SEPARATION OF UNITS

    Units were issued to ALZA stockholders as a special dividend in June 
1993.  Each Unit consisted of one share of Therapeutic Discovery Corporation 
("TDC") Class A common stock and one warrant to purchase one-eighth of one 
share of ALZA common stock.  On June 11, 1996, the component parts of the 
Units began trading separately on the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Before the 
separation, the Units traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol 
TDCAZ.  Since the separation, the TDC Class A common stock trades under the 
symbol TDCA, and the ALZA warrants trade under the symbol ALZAW.  The ALZA 
warrants are exercisable at a price of $65 per share, and will expire, if not 
previously exercised, on December 31, 1999.

3. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

    In April 1996, ALZA completed a $500 million public offering of 5% 
convertible subordinated debentures due 2006 (the "5% Debentures"). The 
offering resulted in approximately $489 million of net proceeds to ALZA.  
Interest is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, 
commencing November 1, 1996.  Each 5% Debenture is convertible, at the option 
of the holder, at any time prior to maturity,  unless previously redeemed or 
repurchased, into shares of ALZA common stock at a conversion price of $38.19 
per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.  The proceeds of the 
offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include 
expansion of ALZA's pharmaceutical business (including its sales and 
marketing activities), expansion of its research and development and 
manufacturing facilities, expenditures under existing or future joint 
ventures, partnerships or other similar agreements, the completion or 
continuation of the development of TDC products if ALZA exercises its right 
to license any or all of the TDC products or its purchase option with respect 
to TDC, the acquisition of assets, technologies, products and businesses to 
expand ALZA's operations, and working capital.

ALZA CORPORATION

    ALZA develops and commercializes innovative pharmaceutical products using
advanced drug delivery technologies to add medical and economic value to drug
therapies. ALZA's therapeutic systems can often increase efficacy, minimize
unpleasant or harmful side effects and/or provide greater patient compliance.
ALZA's development activities

                                                           ALZA CORPORATION
                                                                June 30, 1996




currently are undertaken pursuant to joint development and commercialization
agreements with other companies.  Generally, these companies reimburse ALZA for
its development costs associated with the products and market the products
developed, and ALZA receives royalties on sales of the products.
    ALZA formed Therapeutic Discovery Corporation ("TDC"), which commenced
operations in mid-1993, for the purpose of selecting and developing new human
pharmaceutical products combining ALZA's proprietary drug delivery technologies
with various drug compounds, and commercializing such products, most likely
through licensing to ALZA.  ALZA and TDC currently are developing a range of
products which are in various stages of development, including a number in
clinical evaluation. TDC reimburses ALZA for ALZA's development costs associated
with these products.  ALZA has the right to license any or all of the products
from TDC and an option to purchase all of the shares of TDC, which is discussed
in more detail below.
    ALZA markets in the United States certain products it has developed,
including Testoderm-Registered Trademark- (testosterone transdermal system)
CIII, launched by ALZA Pharmaceuticals in 1994.  ALZA Pharmaceuticals also
co-promotes in the United States Duragesic-Registered Trademark- (fentanyl
transdermal system) CII with Janssen Pharmaceutica, Inc. ("Janssen"), and 
Glucotrol XL-Registered Trademark-(glipizide) with Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer").  
In April 1996, ALZA began promoting Ethyol-Registered Trademark- (amifostine) 
and Mycelex-Registered Trademark-(clotrimazole) Troche in the United States.  
Ethyol-Registered Trademark- is a unique agent, developed by U.S. Bioscience, 
Inc. ("USB"), indicated for the reduction of cumulative renal toxicity 
associated with repeated administration of the chemotherapeutic drug 
cisplatin in patients with advanced ovarian cancer or non-small cell lung 
cancer.  ALZA has exclusive rights to market Ethyol-Registered Trademark- in 
the

                                                           ALZA CORPORATION
                                                                June 30, 1996




U.S. for five years, with an option to extend for one additional year; USB co-
promotes the product with ALZA.  Mycelex-Registered Trademark- Troche is an
antifungal agent for the treatment of oral thrush developed by Bayer Corporation
("Bayer").  Under the terms of the agreement with Bayer, ALZA will promote
Mycelex-Registered Trademark- Troche in the United States for three years and
will receive payments based on net sales of the product above a specified base
level.
    On July 1, 1996, ALZA began co-promoting with USB in the United States 
two additional products developed by USB -- Hexalen-Registered 
Trademark-(altretamine), a product used in the treatment of advanced ovarian 
cancer, and NeuTrexin-Registered Trademark- (trimetrexate glucuronate), a 
product indicated as an alternate therapy for the treatment of 
moderate-to-severe PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII pneumonia.  Sales of 
Hexalen-Registered Trademark- and NeuTrexin-Registered Trademark- will be 
recorded by USB and, under the agreement, ALZA will receive payments based on 
net sales of the products.  The term of the co-promotion period is up to five 
years and ALZA will receive residual payments after that period. USB is 
responsible for product manufacturing and distribution and will continue to 
provide marketing and clinical support throughout the period covered by this 
agreement.
    ALZA manufactures all or a portion of certain clients' requirements for
products developed by ALZA, and also manufactures certain products marketed by
ALZA.  Net sales include sales to clients and sales of ALZA-marketed products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    ALZA's net income was $23.2 million or $0.27 per share ($20.9 million or
$0.25 per share before non-recurring items) for the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
compared to net income of $17.5 million or $0.21 per share for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995.

                                         -9-

<PAGE>

                                                           ALZA CORPORATION
                                                                June 30, 1996




Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $43.5 million or $0.51 
per share ($41.3 million or $0.49 per share before non-recurring items), 
compared to net income of $34.5 million or $0.42 per share for the six months 
ended June 30, 1995.
    ALZA's net income currently results primarily from royalties and fees from
client companies.  Royalties and fees, which are generally derived from sales by
client companies of products developed jointly with ALZA, will vary from quarter
to quarter as a result of changing levels of product sales by client companies
and, occasionally, the receipt by ALZA of certain one-time fees.  Because ALZA's
clients generally take responsibility for obtaining necessary regulatory
approvals and make all marketing and commercialization decisions regarding such
products, most of the variables that affect ALZA's royalties and fees are not
directly within ALZA's control.  In addition, with increasing pressures for cost
containment in the U.S. health care system, it can be expected that
pharmaceutical product prices, including those of products developed by ALZA,
will not increase as quickly as they have in the past, and could decrease.
During the next several years, ALZA intends to become less dependent on
royalties and fees by expanding ALZA's sales and marketing activities and by 
directly marketing more products (including products developed with TDC); 
however, there can be no assurance that these expanded activities will be 
successful, due to factors such as the risks of product development and 
clinical activities, the length of the regulatory approval process, 
acceptance of products by the intended markets, and the current health care 
cost containment environment.
    Royalties and fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996
increased to $47.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively, compared to
$34.2 million and $68.2 million for the same periods in 1995.  Excluding 
non-recurring items, which are discussed below,

royalties and fees were $38.6 million and $76.3 million for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The increase in royalties and fees
(excluding non-recurring items) resulted from increased sales of Adalat CR-
Registered Trademark- (nifedipine) by Bayer AG, increased sales of Glucotrol XL-
Registered Trademark- by Pfizer, royalties from initial sales of Covera-HS-
Registered Trademark- (verapamil hydrochloride) by G. D. Searle, revenue from
the promotion of Mycelex-Registered Trademark- Troche and a higher effective
royalty rate on Procardia XL-Registered Trademark- (nifedipine) (offsetting a
lower level of sales of Procardia XL-Registered Trademark-  as discussed below),
reduced in part by lower royalties on Transderm-Nitro-Registered Trademark-
(nitroglycerin transdermal system).
    ALZA expects that, in the near term, net income will continue to result
primarily from royalties on sales of currently marketed products.
    Royalties and fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 
include a non-recurring benefit of approximately $7 million from the reversal 
of a portion of the reserve accrued in 1994 and 1995 to account for a 
potential reduction in royalty income from Procardia XL-Registered 
Trademark-, marketed in the U.S. by Pfizer, due to a U.S. patent issued to 
Bayer AG.  Pfizer and ALZA have entered into an agreement under which the 
remainder of the reserve was utilized to satisfy ALZA's obligations related 
to the resolution of this royalty issue.  Under this agreement, the royalty 
payable by Pfizer to ALZA on sales of Procardia XL-Registered Trademark- has 
been reset to 7%, retroactive to January 1, 1996.  While ALZA's total 
royalties from Procardia XL-Registered Trademark- increased as a result of 
the higher effective royalty rate, sales of Procardia XL-Registered 
Trademark-, as reported by Pfizer, decreased by 19% during the second quarter 
of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Including the approximate $7 
million benefit, royalties from Procardia XL-Registered Trademark-accounted 
for approximately 50% of ALZA's royalties and fees for the quarter and six 
months ended June 30, 1996.

Excluding non-recurring items, Procardia XL-Registered Trademark- accounted 
for approximately 40% and 45% of ALZA's royalties and fees, respectively, for 
the same periods.
    Royalties and fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 also
include an approximate $6 million benefit in connection with the settlement of
litigation relating to patent disputes concerning transdermal nicotine patches.
Under the terms of the settlement announced in June 1996, Ciba-Geigy Corporation
("Ciba") made a one-time payment to Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc. ("HMR") and
ALZA, and will pay an ongoing royalty to be shared by HMR and ALZA on Ciba's
U.S. nicotine patch sales, retroactive to January 1, 1996.
    Partially offsetting the additions to royalties and fees discussed above is
a charge to establish a reserve of approximately $4 million representing the
unamortized portion of a $5 million advance payment made in 1988 to the former
limited partners of the ALZA OROS-Registered Trademark- Products Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") in connection with ALZA's exercise of its option
to acquire all of the limited partners' interests in the Partnership.  Under the
terms of the Partnership agreement, the advance payment is creditable by ALZA,
within specified limits, against payments otherwise due to the former limited
partners on sales of the OROS-Registered Trademark- cold/allergy products and
Covera-HS-Registered Trademark-.  This reserve has been established due to 
uncertainties regarding ALZA's ability to utilize the prepayment within the time
period specified in the Partnership agreement.
    Under a 1988 license agreement, Ciba Self-Medication ("CSM"), a U.S.
subsidiary of Ciba, has marketed two of the OROS-Registered Trademark-
cold/allergy products -- Efidac 24-Registered Trademark- Pseudoephedrine
(pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) since 1993 and Efidac 24-Registered Trademark-
Chlorpheniramine (chlorpheniramine maleate) since 1995.  A third OROS-Registered
Trademark- cold/allergy product,

Efidac 24-Registered Trademark- Pseudoephedrine/Brompheniramine (pseudoephedrine
hydrochloride/brompheniramine maleate), was cleared for marketing by the United
States Food and Drug Administration in March 1996.  During the second quarter 
of 1996, ALZA and Ciba reached an agreement whereby CSM will continue the 
marketing of Efidac 24-Registered Trademark- Pseudoephedrine and Efidac 
24-Registered Trademark- Chlorpheniramine, on a nonexclusive basis, through 
the spring of 1997.  CSM will not market the Efidac 24-Registered Trademark- 
Pseudoephedrine/Brompheniramine combination product.
    Subsequent to June 30, 1996, ALZA entered into a new arrangement concerning
the OROS-Registered Trademark- pseudoephedrine product with a major
pharmaceutical company that has a significant presence in the over-the-counter
cough/cold/allergy market.  During the next six months, this pharmaceutical
company will review regulatory, market research and other information related to
the product.  If this pharmaceutical company determines to proceed with
marketing the product, the parties intend to enter into a commercialization
agreement, the material terms of which have been negotiated.  ALZA is also
discussing possible commercial arrangements for the OROS-Registered Trademark-
chlorpheniramine and OROS-Registered Trademark- pseudoephedrine/brompheniramine
products with this company and other major pharmaceutical companies.
    Research and development revenue of $35.1 million for the quarter and 
$65.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 represents an increase of 
50% and 45%, respectively, over the same periods in 1995 due to increased 
product development activities undertaken on behalf of TDC.  Reducing research 
and development revenue for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
approximately $2.1 million of non-recurring items consisting of a credit given
by ALZA to one of its clients for work that was

previously billed and a charge for certain potentially uncollectable
receivables.  Research and development revenue from TDC was $28.6 million and
$51.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively,
and $14.5 million and $28.6 million for the corresponding periods in 1995.
    Research and development expenses for the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1996 increased approximately 58% and 50%, respectively, as compared 
with the corresponding periods in 1995, primarily due to the increase in 
product development activities on behalf of TDC. Certain TDC products have 
reached later stages of development and therefore, higher levels of 
expenditures are required. ALZA expects that its product development expense 
for TDC products (and, correspondingly, ALZA's product development revenue 
from TDC) will remain approximately at current levels during the remainder of 
1996. However, several factors may impact the level and timing of TDC 
expenditures, including any commercial arrangements with other companies, any 
reduction in the number of projects advancing to or continuing in later 
stages of development or any adjustments in rates of spending on products 
currently in development.  If expenditures on product development by TDC were 
to continue at approximately current levels, it can be expected that the 
amount of TDC funding available for product development would be exhausted 
within the next 12 to 18 months.  A majority of ALZA's research and 
development revenue is from TDC, and the elimination of TDC funding would 
significantly reduce ALZA's total revenues.
    ALZA has the option, exercisable at ALZA's sole discretion, to purchase, in
accordance with a predetermined formula set forth in TDC's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of TDC
Class A common

stock (the "Purchase Option").  The purchase price may be paid in cash, in ALZA
common stock, or in any combination of the two, at the option of ALZA.  In
connection with an exercise of the Purchase Option, ALZA may incur a one-time
charge due to the acquisition of in-process technology.
    Net sales of $33.6 million and $54.3 million for the quarter and six 
months ended June 30, 1996 increased 75% and 43% respectively, compared to 
the corresponding periods in 1995, primarily due to increased contract 
manufacturing activities related to the launch of Covera-HS-Registered 
Trademark- and in anticipation of the launch of the over-the-counter version 
of Nicoderm-Registered Trademark- (nicotine transdermal system).  Costs of 
products shipped for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 include 
approximately $2.4 million of non-recurring charges primarily related to 
costs associated with a limited recall of two lots of the 
Duragesic-Registered Trademark- product. The gross margin on net sales, 
excluding the non-recurring charge of $2.4 million discussed above, increased 
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the 
corresponding periods in 1995 due primarily to proportionately greater 
shipments of higher margin products.
    Because the vast majority of ALZA's net sales are generated from
manufacturing products ordered by client companies, many factors affecting net
sales are not within ALZA's control.  Revenues can be expected to fluctuate from
period to period depending on the volume, mix and timing of orders received from
client companies.  ALZA expects its gross margin on net sales to increase over
the longer term, although quarter-to-quarter fluctuations can be expected to
continue to occur.  Higher gross margins may ultimately be achieved through
increased utilization of capacity, greater operating efficiencies and a
proportionate increase in the sales of ALZA-marketed products.

    General, administrative and marketing expenses of $11.9 million for the
quarter and $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 42%
and 31%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The
increase was due in part to sales and marketing expenses related to the launch
of Ethyol-Registered Trademark- and current amortization of the upfront payment
ALZA made to USB for Ethyol-Registered Trademark-.
    Interest and other revenue, which consists primarily of interest income,
increased 90% and 67%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995, primarily due to higher 
average invested cash balances following ALZA's offering of 5% convertible 
subordinated debentures due 2006 (the "5% Debentures"), which resulted in 
approximately $489 million in net proceeds to ALZA.  Also included in interest 
and other revenue was a $2.5 million non-recurring benefit resulting from the 
issuance to ALZA of shares of common stock of an unrelated company for the 
exclusive rights to use certain ALZA technology.  Reducing interest and other 
revenue was a non-recurring charge of approximately $2.8 million related to 
ALZA's dental business activities and investments.  Operating results of the 
ALZA and Procter & Gamble partnership have not met expectations primarily due 
to lower than expected sales of the Actisite-Registered Trademark- 
(tetracycline hydrochloride) periodontal fiber. 
    Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 
increased 96% and 56%, respectively, as compared with the corresponding 
periods in 1995, reflecting the higher outstanding balance on ALZA's 5 1/4% 
zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures due 2014 (the "5 1/4% 
Debentures") and the interest expense on ALZA's

                                                                June 30, 1996




5% Debentures.  It is expected that both interest income and interest expense
will increase as a result of the 5% Debentures.
    ALZA's effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the year
ended 1995 and for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 38%.
    The number of weighted average common and common equivalent shares for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, includes 12.3 million and 
6.2 million shares, respectively, reflecting the effect of shares issuable upon
conversion of the 5 1/4% Debentures.  The 5 1/4% Debentures are considered 
common stock equivalents, but have been excluded from prior earnings per 
share calculations because they were antidilutive.  Earnings per share for the 
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 is calculated by adding the after-tax
interest incurred on the 5 1/4% Debentures ($3.0 million) to net income and 
dividing by the number of weighted average common and common equivalent shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    ALZA invested $21.0 million during the first six months of 1996 in
additions to property, plant and equipment to support its research and
development and manufacturing activities.  While ALZA believes its current
facilities and equipment are sufficient to meet its current operating
requirements, ALZA is expanding its facilities and equipment to support its
medium-term and long-term requirements.

                                                                June 30, 1996




    At the end of April 1996, ALZA completed a $500 million public offering of
the 5% Debentures which resulted in approximately $489 million of net proceeds
to ALZA.  (See "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)" for a description of the 5% Debentures.) The proceeds of the
offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include
expansion of ALZA's pharmaceutical business (including its sales and marketing
activities), expansion of its research and development and manufacturing
facilities, expenditures under existing or future joint ventures, partnerships
or other similar agreements, the completion or continuation of the development
of TDC products if ALZA exercises its right to license any or all of the TDC
products or its purchase option with respect to TDC, the acquisition of assets,
technologies, products and businesses to expand ALZA's operations, and working
capital.
    ALZA believes that its existing cash balances and investments, including
the proceeds from the sale of the 5% Debentures, are adequate to fund its
current cash needs.  In addition, should the need arise, ALZA believes it would
be able to raise additional capital. ALZA may also enter into strategic
alliances with third parties which could provide additional funding for research
and development, support for marketing and sales or the development of new
products.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
    In December 1991, a patent infringement suit was filed by Ciba-Geigy
("Ciba") against Marion Merrell Dow Inc., now Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc.
("HMR"), and ALZA in connection with the commercialization of
Nicoderm-Registered Trademark- (nicotine transdermal system).  In October 1994,
the District Court granted a motion for summary judgment brought by ALZA and
HMR, ruling the Ciba patent invalid.  During January 1995, ALZA and HMR filed a
separate suit against Ciba and its supplier for infringement of two U.S. patents
issued to ALZA in 1994 relating to the transdermal administration of nicotine.
During June 1996, ALZA and HMR entered into a settlement agreement with Ciba
which resolved these disputes.  Ciba made a one-time settlement payment to HMR 
and ALZA, and will pay an ongoing royalty on its U.S. nicotine patch sales
retroactive to January 1, 1996.  ALZA and HMR will share the royalty payments in
accordance with agreements between them.
    During January 1994, a suit was filed against ALZA by Cygnus Therapeutic
Systems ("Cygnus") seeking a declaration of unenforceability and invalidity of
an ALZA patent relating to the transdermal administration of fentanyl (which
patent covers the Duragesic-Registered Trademark- (fentanyl transdermal system)
CII product) and alleging violation of antitrust laws. In April 1995, the 
District Court granted ALZA's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.  Cygnus appealed 
that ruling. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Court of Appeals of 
the Federal Circuit upheld the District Court's dismissal of Cygnus' claims 
against ALZA.
    Pharmaceutical companies are subject to product liability claims from time
to time. Product liability suits have been filed against Janssen Pharmaceutica, 
Inc. ("Janssen") and


                                         -19-

<PAGE>

ALZA from time to time relating to the Duragesic-Registered Trademark- product
which is manufactured by ALZA and marketed by Janssen.  Janssen is managing the
defense of the Duragesic-Registered Trademark- suits in consultation with ALZA
under an agreement between the parties.
    Historically, the cost of resolution of liability (including product
liability) claims against ALZA has not been significant, and ALZA is not aware
of any asserted or unasserted claims pending against it, including the suits
mentioned above, the resolution of which would have a material adverse impact
on the operations or financial position of ALZA.

shall be the act of the stockholders.

     (b)  If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the

<PAGE>

thereat, stating that it will be held with those present constituting a quorum,

     10.  VOTE REQUIRED FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION.

     (a)  In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or this
Certificate of Incorporation, and except as expressly provided in Subparagraph

Related Person (as hereinafter defined) shall require the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least eighty percent of the voting power of all of the then
outstanding shares of all classes of stock of the corporation entitled to vote
for the election of directors (the "Voting Stock"), voting together as a single
class.  Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no
vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in
any agreement.

     (b)  The provisions of this Section 10 shall not apply to any Business
Combination if:

which is owned directly or indirectly by the corporation; or

          (iii)  The Business Combination is a merger or consolidation and the
cash or fair market value (as determined by a majority of the Continuing
Directors) of the property, securities or other consideration to be received per
share by holders of stock of the corporation in the Business Combination is not
less than the Highest Per Share Price or the Highest Equivalent Price (as these
terms are hereinafter defined) paid by the Related Person in acquiring any of
the corporation's stock.

     (c)  For the purpose of this Section 10:

            (i)  The term "Business Combination" shall mean (A) any merger or
consolidation of the corporation with or into a Related Person, (B) any sale,
lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition, including, without limitation, a
mortgage or any other security device, of assets of the corporation or any
subsidiary of the corporation, to a Related Person if such assets constitute a
Substantial Part (as hereinafter defined), (C) any merger or consolidation of a
Related Person with or into the corporation or a subsidiary of the corporation,
(D) the issuance of any securities of the corporation or a subsidiary of the
corporation to a Related Person, (E) any recapitalization that would have the
effect of increasing the voting power in the corporation of a Related Person,

           (ii)  The term "Related Person" shall mean any individual,
corporation or other entity which, alone or together with (A) its "Affiliates"
and "Associates" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect at the date of the
adoption of this Section 10 by the stockholders of the corporation
(collectively, and as so in effect, the "Exchange Act")) or (B) members of a
"group" (as defined with reference to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of
which such individual, corporation or other entity is a member, "beneficially
owns" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) shares of the outstanding
common stock of the corporation which, in the aggregate, have (or, in the case
of convertible securities, would have, if such convertible securities were, at
the time the determination is being made, convertible and had been converted) 20
percent or more of the total combined power to elect directors of the
corporation.

          (iii)  For the purposes of subparagraph (b)(iii) of this Section 10,
the term "other consideration to be received" shall include, without limitation,
common stock of the corporation retained by its existing stockholders in the
event of a Business Combination in which the corporation is the surviving
corporation.

           (iv)  The term "Continuing Director" shall mean a director who is

Directors of the corporation immediately prior to the time that the Related
Person involved in a Business Combination became a Related Person.

value in excess of 30 percent of the book value of the total consolidated assets
of the corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole as of the end of its
most recent fiscal year ended prior to the time the determination is made.

           (vi)  The terms "Highest Per Share Price" and "Highest Equivalent
Price" shall mean the following:  If there is only one class of capital stock of
the corporation issued and outstanding, the Highest Per Share Price shall mean
the highest price that can be determined by a majority of the Continuing
Directors then in office to have been paid at any time by the Related Person for
any share or shares of that class of capital stock.  If there is more than one
class of capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding, the Highest
Equivalent Price shall mean, with respect to each class of capital stock of the
corporation, the amount determined by a majority of the Continuing Directors
then in office, on whatever basis they believe is appropriate, to be the highest
per share price equivalent to the highest per share price that can be determined
to have been paid at any time by the Related Person for any share or shares of
any class of capital stock of the corporation.  In determining the Highest Per
Share Price and Highest Equivalent Price, all purchases by the Related Person
shall be taken into account regardless of whether the shares were purchased
before or after the Related Person became a Related Person.  Also, the Highest
Per Share Price and the Highest Equivalent Price shall include any brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees paid by the Related
Person with respect to the shares of capital stock of the


                                        8
<PAGE>

corporation acquired by the Related Person.

     (d)  A majority of the Continuing Directors of the corporation then in
office (including directors purporting, in good faith, to be Continuing
Directors) shall have the power and duty to determine, for the purposes of this
Section 10, on the basis of information then known to them, whether any
individual, corporation or other entity is a Related Person.  Any such
determination made in good faith shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes of this Section 10.

     (e)  The provisions set forth in this Section 10 may not be repealed or
amended in any respect without:

            (i)  The affirmative vote of not less than 80 percent of the Board
of Directors and of a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office, and

           (ii)  The affirmative vote of the holders of 80 percent or more of
the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the provisions of this paragraph (e) shall not apply to
any amendment or repeal of any provision of this Section 10 that is recommended
to the stockholders by a resolution adopted by (A) a majority of the Board of
Directors, and (B) not less than 80 percent of the Continuing Directors then in
office, in which case any such amendment or repeal shall require only the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Voting Stock.

     11.  ORGANIZATIONS.  The Chairman of the Board or, in his or
her absence, the President of the corporation or, in the absence


                                        9
<PAGE>

is no such designation, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy,
shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the
meeting.

     12.  CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.  The Chairman of any meeting of stockholders
shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting,
including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion
as seem to him or her in order.

     13.  PROXIES AND VOTING.  At any meeting of the stockholders, every
stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an
instrument in writing filed in accordance with the procedures established for

meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address
of each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class registered in
his or her name, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any
purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of
at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where
the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. 
The stock list shall also be kept at the place of the meeting during the whole
time thereof and shall be open to the examination of any stockholder present.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     15.  POWERS.  The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed
by or under the direction of its Board of Directors.

     16.  NUMBER, CLASSIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE.  The number of directors of
the corporation who shall constitute the whole board shall be seven but may be
increased or decreased from time to time either by a resolution or bylaw duly
adopted by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors shall be and is
divided into three classes:  Class I, Class II and Class III, which shall be as
nearly equal in number as possible.  Each director shall serve for a term ending
on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual
meeting at which the director was elected; provided, however, that each initial
director in Class I shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders
in 1988; each initial director in Class II shall hold office until the annual
meeting of stockholders in 1989; and each initial director in Class III shall
hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders in 1990.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and
qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.

                                             [Section 16 amended by the Board
                                             of Directors on February 15, 1996,
                                             effective at the close of business
                                             on May 22, 1996]

     17.  REMOVAL.  Any director may be removed from office, only with cause, by
the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote in an election of
directors.

     18.  RESIGNATIONS.  A director may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the corporation.  Such resignation shall be effective when given
unless the director specifies a later time.  The resignation shall be effective
regardless of whether


                                       11
<PAGE>

it is accepted by the corporation.

     19.  NEWLY-CREATED DIRECTORSHIPS AND VACANCIES.  In the event of any
increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, any newly-created or
eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be
apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three classes of directors so as
to maintain such classes as nearly equal in number as possible.  No decrease in
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.  Newly-created directorships resulting from any
increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors
resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause
shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors
then in office (and not by stockholders), even though less than a quorum of the
Board of Directors.  Any director elected in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of
directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.

     20.  REGULAR MEETINGS.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be
held at such place or places, on such date or dates, and at such time or times
as shall have been established by the Board of Directors and publicized among
all directors.  A notice of each regular meeting shall not be required.

     21.  SPECIAL MEETINGS.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any two directors.


                                       12
<PAGE>

     22.  NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

     (a)  Special meetings, and regular meetings not fixed as provided in these
Bylaws, shall be held upon four days' notice by mail or two days' notice
delivered personally or by telephone or telegraph to each director who does not
waive such notice.  The notice shall state the place, date and time of the
meeting.  Unless otherwise indicated in the notice, any and all business may be
transacted at a special meeting.

     (b)  Notice of a reconvened meeting need not be given if the place, date
and time of the reconvened meeting are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken and the adjournment is not for more than 24 hours.  If a
meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of the reconvened meeting
shall be given prior to the time of that reconvened meeting to the directors who
were not present at the time of the adjournment.

     23.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Except as required by law, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board
of Directors or any committee thereof, as the case may be, consent thereto in
writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the Board of
Directors or committee.

     24.  MEETING BY TELEPHONE.  Except as required by law, members of the Board
of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in the meeting of the
Board of Directors or committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment if all persons who participate in the meeting can hear


                                       13
<PAGE>

each other.  Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person
at such meeting.

     25.  QUORUM AND MANNER OF ACTING.  At any meeting of the Board of
Directors, a majority of the directors then in office shall constitute a quorum
for all purposes.  A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue
to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors.  If a quorum
shall fail to attend any meeting, a majority of those present may adjourn the
meeting to another place, date or time, without further notice or waiver
thereof.  Except as provided herein, the act of the majority of the directors
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
Board of Directors.

     26.  COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.  The Board of Directors by a
vote of a majority of the whole Board, may from time to time designate
committees of the Board, with such lawfully delegable powers and duties as it
thereby confers, to serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall for those
committees and any others provided for herein, elect a director or directors to
serve as the member or members, designating, if it desires, other directors as
alternate members who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
meeting of the committee.  Any committee so designated may exercise the power
and authority of the Board of Directors to declare a dividend or to authorize
the issuance of stock if the resolution which designates the committee or a
supplemental resolution of the Board of Directors shall so provide.  The
principles set forth in Sections 15


                                       14
<PAGE>

through 25 of these Bylaws shall apply to committees of the Board of Directors
and to actions taken by such committees.  All members of any Audit Committee of
this Company designated by the Board of Directors shall be directors who are not
also employees of the corporation.

     27.  COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.  Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have
the authority to fix the compensation of directors.  The directors may be paid
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors
or a committee thereof, and may receive fixed fees and other compensation for
their services as directors.  No such payment shall preclude any director from
serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation for
such service.


                                    OFFICERS

     28.  TITLES.  The officers of the corporation shall be chosen by the Board
of Directors and shall include a Chairman of the Board or a President or both, a
Secretary and a Treasurer.  The Board of Directors may also appoint one or more
Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries, Assistant Treasurers or other officers. 
Any number of offices may be held by the same person. All officers shall perform
their duties and exercise their powers subject to the Board of Directors.

     29.  ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND VACANCIES.  The officers shall be elected
annually by the Board of Directors at its regular meeting following the annual
meeting of the stockholders,


                                       15
<PAGE>

and each officer shall hold office until the next annual election of officers
and until the officer's successor is elected and qualified, or until the
officer's death, resignation or removal.  Any officer may be removed at any
time, with or without cause, by the Board of Directors.  Any vacancy occurring
in any office may be filled by the Board of Directors.

     30.  RESIGNATION.  Any officer may resign at any time upon notice to the
corporation without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the corporation under
any contract to which the officer is a party.  The resignation of an officer
shall be effective when given unless the officer specifies a later time.  The
resignation shall be effective regardless of whether it is accepted by the
corporation.

     31.  CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.  The Board of Directors shall designate
either the Chairman of the Board or the President as the chief executive officer
and may prescribe the duties and powers of the chief executive officer.  In the
absence of such a designation, the Chairman of the Board shall be the chief
executive officer.  If there is no Chairman of the Board, the President shall be
the chief executive officer.  Subject to the provisions of these Bylaws and to
the direction of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer shall have
the responsibility for the general management and control of the business and
affairs of the corporation and shall perform all duties and have all powers
which are commonly incident to the office of chief executive or which are
delegated to him or her by the Board of Directors.  Either the Chairman of the
Board or the


                                       16
<PAGE>

President and such other officers as may, from time to time, be expressly
designated by the Board of Directors shall have power to sign all stock
certificates, contracts and other instruments of the corporation which are
authorized.

     32.  SECRETARY AND ASSISTANT SECRETARIES.  The Secretary shall issue all
authorized notices for, and shall keep minutes of, all meetings of the
stockholders and the Board of Directors.  He or she shall have charge of the
corporate books and shall perform such other duties as the Board of Directors
may from time to time prescribe.  At the request of the Secretary, or in the
Secretary's absence or disability, any Assistant Secretary shall perform any of
the duties of the Secretary and when so acting shall have all the powers of, and
be subject to all the restrictions upon, the Secretary.

     33.  TREASURER AND ASSISTANT TREASURERS.  Unless the Board of Directors
designates another chief financial officer, the Treasurer shall be the chief
financial officer of the corporation.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board
of Directors or the chief executive officer, the Treasurer shall have custody of
the corporate funds and securities, shall keep adequate and correct accounts of
the corporation's properties and business transactions, shall disburse such
funds of the corporation as may be ordered by the Board or the chief executive
officer (taking proper vouchers for such disbursements), and shall render to the
chief executive officer and the Board, at regular meetings of the Board or
whenever the Board may require, an account of all transactions and the financial
condition of the


                                       17
<PAGE>

corporation.  At the request of the Treasurer, or in the Treasurer's absence or
disability, any Assistant Treasurer may perform any of the duties of the
Treasurer and when so acting, shall have all the powers of, and be subject to
all the restrictions upon, the Treasurer.

     34.  OTHER OFFICERS.  The other officers of the corporation, if any, shall
exercise such powers and perform such duties as the Board of Directors or the
chief executive officer shall prescribe.

     35.  COMPENSATION.  The Board of Directors shall fix the compensation of
the chief executive officer and may fix the compensation of other employees of
the corporation, including the other officers.  If the Board does not fix the
compensation of the other officers, the chief executive officer shall fix such
compensation.

     36.  ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF OTHER CORPORATIONS.  Unless
otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the
President or any officer of the corporation authorized by the Chairman of the
Board or the President, shall have power to vote and otherwise act on behalf of
the corporation, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders of, or
with respect to any action of stockholders of, any other corporation in which
the corporation may hold securities and otherwise shall have power to exercise
any and all rights and powers which the corporation may possess by reason of its
ownership of securities in such other corporation.


                                       18
<PAGE>

                               STOCK AND DIVIDENDS

     37.  CERTIFICATES OF STOCK.  Each stockholder shall be entitled to a
certificate signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairman, the
President or a Vice President, and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, certifying the number of shares
owned by him or her.  Any or all of the signatures on the certificates may be
facsimile.

     38.  TRANSFERS OF STOCK.  Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the
transfer books of the corporation kept at an office of the corporation or by
transfer agents designated to transfer shares of the stock of the corporation. 
Except where a certificate is issued in accordance with the next sentence of
this Section, an outstanding certificate for the number of shares involved shall
be surrendered for cancellation before a new certificate is issued therefor.  In
the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any certificate of stock, another
may be issued in its place pursuant to such regulations as the Board of
Directors may establish concerning proof of such loss, theft or destruction and
concerning the giving of a satisfactory bond or bonds of indemnity.

     39.  REGULATIONS.  The issue, transfer, conversion and registration of
certificates of stock shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board
of Directors may establish.


                                   RECORD DATE

     40.  RECORD DATE.  In order that the corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at


                                       19
<PAGE>

any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange
of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors
may fix in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than
ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any
other action.  If no record date is fixed, the record date (1) for determining
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is
given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (2) for determining
stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.  A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
reconvened meeting.


                                WAIVER OF NOTICE

     41.  WAIVER OF NOTICE.  Whenever notice is required to be given by law or
these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting


                                       20
<PAGE>

for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.  Unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these
Bylaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a
committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.


                                   AMENDMENTS

     42.  AMENDMENTS.  These Bylaws may be amended or repealed or new bylaws may
be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no provision of Section 10 may be amended or repealed except in
accordance with Section 10(e) and no provision of Sections 16 or 19 may be
amended or repealed except by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of
not less than 75% of the members of the Board of Directors or by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of capital stock
entitled to vote in an election of directors.


                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     43.  FISCAL YEAR.  The fiscal year of the corporation shall be as fixed by
the Board of Directors.

     44.  TIME PERIODS.  In applying any provision of these Bylaws which
requires that an act be done or not done within a specified number of days prior
to an event or that an act be done during a period of a specified number of days
prior to an event,


                                       21
<PAGE>

calendar days shall be used, the day of the doing of the act shall be excluded,
and the day of the event shall be included.

     45.  FACSIMILE SIGNATURES.  In addition to the provisions for use of
facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these Bylaws,
facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the corporation may be used
whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors.

     46.  CORPORATE SEAL.  The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal,
containing the name of the corporation, which seal shall be in the charge of the
Secretary.  Duplicates of the seal may be kept and used by the Treasurer or by
an Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer.

     47.  RELIANCE UPON BOOKS, REPORTS AND RECORDS.  Each director, each member
of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, and each officer of the
corporation shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected
in relying in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the
corporation, including reports made to the corporation by any of its officers,
by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser.

     48.  INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES.  Each person who was or is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative ("a
proceeding"), because he or she is or was an employee of the corporation or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit
plans from the date of plan adoption), shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the corporation  against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, penalties, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided
in any event that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation; and provided further that the corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized
by the Board of Directors of the corporation.  Such indemnification shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be an employee and shall inure to the
benefit of his or her heirs, executors or administrators.

   Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are based on weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding plus dilutive common equivalent shares.  The
5 1/4% zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures due 2014 (issued in July
1994) are considered common stock equivalents; they were dilutive for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 and antidilutive for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1995.
   Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented on the face of the
condensed consolidated statement of income (unaudited) since they are not
materially different from primary earnings per share.
