                                 Taxation

     The following discussion of the United States federal income tax
consequences of the ownership of the Notes supplements, and to the extent
inconsistent with replaces, the discussion under the caption "Taxation" in the
Prospectus Supplement dated October 8, 1993.  Terms not defined herein have
the same meanings as in the Prospectus Supplement.

     This discussion is based on regulations concerning the treatment of debt
instruments issued with original issue discount (the "OID Regulations") and
related provisions of the Code.  The OID Regulations are effective for Notes
issued on or after April 4, 1994.  

<PAGE> 3
     The Notes provide for interest payable semiannually at a fixed rate that
increases annually, commencing on September 1, 1997, and they are callable at 
the option of the Company on any interest payment date, commencing on
September 1, 1997, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest.  Under the OID Regulations, as under the Proposed OID Regulations,
the issuer of a debt instrument who has a call option will be presumed to
exercise that call option if the yield of the debt instrument, assuming the
call option is exercised, is lower than it would be if the call option were
not exercised.  If the call option is presumed to be exercised but the debt
instrument in fact remains outstanding after the call date, the OID
Regulations treat the debt instrument as if it had in fact been called and a
new debt instrument were issued on such date for an amount equal to its
adjusted issue price on that date.  This redemption and reissuance are solely 
for purposes of the OID Regulations.  Because the interest rate on the Notes
increases each year, commencing on September 1, 1997, and because the Company 
has the right to call the Notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest on each interest payment date, commencing on September 1, 
1997, the Company intends to take the position that the call options
exercisable on each interest payment date on which the interest rate on the
Notes is increased will be presumed to be exercised and a new instrument
issued on each such call date.  If the Company does not exercise a call option
which is presumed to be exercised, the Notes will be treated as redeemed and
reissued at 100% of their principal amount.  As a result, the Notes will not
bear original issue discount and stated interest on the Notes will be taxable 
to a United States Holder as ordinary income at the time that it is received
or accrued, depending on the United States Holder's method of accounting.  

     While the OID Regulations have amended many provisions of the Proposed
OID Regulations, such amendments are not relevant to the Notes.
