                            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.  

     The Notes provide for interest payable semiannually at a fixed rate
that increases annually, commencing on July 5, 1996, and they are callable at
the option of the Company on any interest payment date, commencing on July 5,
1996, 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 July 5, 1996, 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 July 5, 1996, 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.  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.
