19.      Additional Provisions Relating to the Notes:

         The "Reference Rate" on the Notes will be a rate per annum (expressed
as a percentage) equal to the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate (determined as
described below) plus 0.42 percent and will be subject to adjustment effective
as of each Reset Date (as defined below); provided, however, that the Reference
Rate in effect for the period from and including the seventh Relevant Business
Day preceding an Interest Payment Date to but excluding such Interest Payment
Date will be the Reference Rate in effect on the seventh Relevant Business Day
preceding such Interest Payment Date.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>


         A "Reset Date" means (i) the Wednesday of each week (subject to the
proviso in the preceding paragraph) and (ii) each Interest Payment Date. The
first Reset Date with respect to the Notes is the Issue Date.

         The "3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate" means, with respect to any Reset
Date:

                  (i) the auction average rate for U.S. Treasury Bills having an
         index maturity of 3 months obtained from the most recent U.S. Treasury
         Bill auction which occurs on the first Relevant Business Day during the
         period from the Monday immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date
         up to and including such Reset Date. The 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill
         Rate currently appears on Telerate page 56 under the heading
         "Investment Rate" in the row corresponding to the first Relevant
         Business Day of the week containing the applicable Reset Date (where
         "Telerate page 56" means Page 56 on the Dow Jones Telerate Service or
         such other page as may replace that page on that service).

                  (ii) if there is no auction during the period from Monday
         immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date up to and including
         such Reset Date, then the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate for such
         Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of quotations reported by three
         leading U.S. Government securities dealers, according to their written
         records and with reference to the 3:00 p.m. (New York City Time)
         closing offered side yield quotations as of the corresponding Reset
         Date, for actively traded 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills. If the
         Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such quotations, the 3-month U.S.
         Treasury Bill Rate for such Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean of
         all such quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent.

                  (iii) if for any Reset Date, the Calculation Agent cannot
         obtain any such quotations referred to in (ii) above, the 3-month U.S.
         Treasury Bill Rate for such Reset Date shall be the arithmetic mean of
         quotations reported by three leading U.S. Government securities
         dealers, according to their written records and with reference to the
         3:00 p.m. (New York City Time) closing offered side yield quotations as
         of the corresponding Reset Date, for the 3-month U.S. Treasury
         securities with a remaining term to maturity closest to three months
         and with a price closest to par as determined by the Calculation Agent.

                  (iv) if the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such
         quotations referred to in (iii) above, the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill
         Rate for such Reset Date shall be the same as the 3-month U.S. Treasury
         Bill Rate for the immediately preceding Reset Date.

The auction average rate and the offered side yield quotations for 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bills will be obtained expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable (or, if not so expressed, will be
converted by the Calculation Agent to such a bond equivalent yield).

         Values input into the formula for the Reference Rate, and intermediate
calculations expressed as a percentage, shall be rounded to five (5) decimal
places and the resulting

                                      -5-

<PAGE>


Reference Rate expressed as a percentage shall be rounded to three (3) decimal
places. (For example, if the Reference Rate calculation produced a result of
4.71254 percent, the Reference Rate would be 4.713 percent). All dollar amounts
resulting from application of the above formula will be rounded to the nearest
cent.

         The "Rate of Interest" with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall
be the rate as determined and calculated by the Calculation Agent by adding the
Reference Rate for each actual day elapsed from and including the Issue Date or
the preceding Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, to but excluding the
next Interest Payment Date (rounded to nine (9) decimal places, Condition
5(II)(d) notwithstanding) and dividing the resulting total by the number of such
actual days elapsed.
