2. SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION APPLICABLE.
AlliedSignal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is relying upon
the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereunder, in
connection with the Company's exchange offer as described herein (the "Exchange
Offer"). The Exchange Offer is being made by the Company pursuant to its
Offering Circular dated May 20, 1998 ("Offering Circular"), and the related
Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery of even date therewith,
and consists of an offer to exchange the Company's $100,000,000 Debentures due
June 1, 2033 (the "New Debentures") for the Company's outstanding $100,000,000 9
1/2% Debentures due June 1, 2016 (the "Old Debentures").
There have not been any sales of securities of the same series as the New
Debentures or the Old Debentures by the Company, nor are there any such other
sales planned, by or through an underwriter at or about the time of the Exchange
Offer transaction.
The Company retained Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. ("DMG") to advise the
Company as to the structure, process and financial matters related to the
Exchange Offer. DMG's services to the Company are limited solely to such
advisory services, and DMG will not, directly or indirectly, solicit the
exchange of Old Debentures for New Debentures under the Exchange Offer or
otherwise make recommendations with respect to acceptance or rejection of the
Exchange Offer. In exchange for such advisory services, DMG will be paid a
flat fee which is not dependent upon the outcome of the transaction. DMG will
not be paid any commission or similar variable type of remuneration.
The Company also has retained Georgeson & Company Inc. as the "Information
Agent" and The Chase Manhattan Bank as the "Exchange Agent" in connection with
the Exchange Offer. The Information Agent and Exchange Agent will provide to
holders of Old Debentures only information otherwise contained in the Offering
Circular and general information regarding the mechanics of the exchange
process. The Exchange Agent will provide the actual acceptance and exchange
services with respect to the exchange of Old Debentures and New Debentures.
Neither the Information Agent nor the Exchange Agent will solicit exchanges in
connection with the Exchange Offer and will not make recommendations as to the
acceptance or rejection of the

8. ANALYSIS OF INDENTURE PROVISIONS. Insert at this point the analysis of
indenture provisions required under Section 305(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, as amended.
For purposes of this Section 8, the "Indenture" shall refer to the Indenture,
dated as of October 1, 1985, by and between AlliedSignal Inc. and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture
dated as of February 1, 1991 and by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as
of November 1, 1997. Other capitalized but otherwise undefined terms shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture or the Offering Circular.
(A) EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Events of Default with respect to any series of Debentures under the
Indenture include: (a) default in payment of any principal of or premium, if
any, on such series, except for principal due upon sinking fund redemptions;
(b) default in the payment of any installment of interest or sinking fund
redemption, if any, on such series and continuance of such default for a period
of 30 days; (c) default for 90 days after notice in the performance of any
other covenant in the Indenture; or (d) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization in respect of the Company (Section 501). The Trustee may
withhold notice to the holders of Debentures of any default (except in the
payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such series of
Debentures) if it considers such withholding to be in the interest of holders
of Debentures (Section 508). No Event of Default with respect to a particular
series of Debentures issued under the Indenture necessarily constitutes an Event
of Default with respect to any other series of Debentures.
On the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee or the holders of at
least 25% in principal amount at maturity of Debentures of each such series
then outstanding may declare the principal (or in the case of Debentures sold
at an original issue discount, the amount specified in the terms thereof) to be
due and payable immediately (Section 501). Upon payment of such amount, together
with any premium or interest due thereon, if any, all the Company's obligations
in respect to payment of indebtedness on such Debentures will terminate
(Sections 401, 501 and 502).
Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of default, the
Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under
the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of Debentures
unless such holders of Debentures shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity (Section 603).
(B) AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY
The New Debentures shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, its
Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers, under the Company's corporate seal
reproduced thereon and attested by the Secretary or one of the Assistant
Secretaries. Upon proper delivery of New Debentures to the Trustee for
authentication, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such securities. The
Indenture does not contain provisions regarding the application of the proceeds
from issuance of the New Debentures (Section 303).
(C) RELEASE OF PROPERTY SUBJECT TO LIEN
The Company's obligations under the New Debentures are not secured by any
liens or security interests on any assets of the Company. Accordingly, the
Indenture does not contain any provisions with respect to the release or the
release and substitution of any property subject to such a lien.
(D) SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
The Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the
Debentures of any series when (1) either: (i) all the Debentures of such series
and Coupons appertaining thereto issued under the Indenture (except certain
Debentures which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and certain Debentures and
Coupons for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, held by
the Company and repaid or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the
Trustee or an authenticating agent cancelled or for cancellation, or (ii) all
such Debentures and Coupons have become due and payable or will become due and
payable at their Stated Maturity, or have been called for redemption, and the
Company has deposited in trust funds sufficient to pay off and discharge such
Debentures and Coupons; (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other
sums required to be paid under the Indenture; and (3) the Company has delivered
an appropriate officer's certificate and opinion of counsel to the Trustee
stating that all conditions precedent therein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Debentures of
such series have been complied with (Section 401).
(E) EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year, a written statement stating (i) whether or not the Company has
fulfilled all its obligations under the Indenture throughout the year, and if a
default has occurred, providing details as to the circumstances of such
default(s), and (ii) that no event has occurred and is continuing which is or
would become a certain Event of Default, and if such an event has occurred,
providing details as to the circumstances of such default(s) (Section 1004).

Depository or pursuant to the Depository's instruction or retained
by the Trustee pursuant to the Depository's instruction and (iv)
shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 'Unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual
Debentures represented hereby this Global Debenture may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the
Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or
another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository
<PAGE>

or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such
successor Depository.'
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 203 or of
Section 306, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
unless the terms of a Global Debenture expressly permit such Global
Debenture to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual
Debentures, a Global Debenture may be transferred, in whole but not
in part and in the manner provided in Section 306, only to a nominee
of the Depository for such Global Debenture, or to the Depository,
or to a successor Depository for such Global Debenture selected or
approved by the Corporation, or to a nominee of such successor
Depository.
(c) (i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Debenture
notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depository for such Global Debenture or if at any time the
Depository with respect to any series of Debentures represented in
whole or in part by a Global Debenture shall no longer be eligible
or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Corporation
shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global
Debenture. If a successor Depository for such Global Debenture is
not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the
Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Corporation will execute, and the Trustee or its
agent, upon receipt of a Corporation request for the authentication
and delivery of individual Debentures of such series in exchange for
such Global Debenture, will authenticate and deliver, individual
Debentures of such series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Debenture in exchange for such Global Debenture.
(ii) The Corporation may at any time and in its sole discretion
determine that the Debentures of any series or portion thereof
issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Debentures
shall no longer be represented by such Global Debenture or
Debentures. In such event the Corporation will execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Corporation Request for the
authentication and delivery of individual Debentures of such series
in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Debenture or
Debentures, will authenticate and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
7
deliver, individual Debentures of such series of like tenor and
terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such Global Debenture or Debentures
representing such series or portion thereof in exchange for such
Global Debenture or Debentures.
(iii) If specified by the Corporation pursuant to Sections 201 and
302 with respect to Debentures issued or issuable in the form of a
Global Debenture, the Depository for such Global Debenture may
surrender such Global Debenture in exchange in whole or in part for
individual Debentures of such series of like tenor and terms in
definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Corporation
and such Depository. Thereupon the Corporation shall execute, and
the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without
service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depository a
new Debenture or Debentures of the same series of like tenor and
terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person
in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
Person's beneficial interest in such Global Debenture and (2) to
such Depository a new Global Debenture of like tenor and terms and
in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Debenture and
the aggregate principal amount of Debentures delivered to Holders
thereof.
(iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
paragraphs, the Corporation will execute, and the Trustee or its
agent will authenticate and deliver, individual Debentures in
definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the
exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Debenture for
individual Debentures, such Global Debenture shall be cancelled by
the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Debenture
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global
Debenture, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the
Debenture Registrar. The Trustee or the Debenture Registrar shall
deliver such Debentures to the Persons in whose names such
Debentures are so registered."

J. Article Three of the Original Indenture is amended to add a new
Section 314, which reads in its entirety as follows:
"Section 314. Debentures Constituting Medium-term Notes. (a)
Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debentures of
a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not
be necessary for the Corporation to deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture, Opinion of Counsel,
Corporation Request or other document otherwise required pursuant to
Sections 102, 201, 302 and 304 at or prior to the time of
authentication of each Debenture of such series if such documents
are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Debenture of such
series to be issued; provided that any subsequent instruction by the
Corporation to the Trustee to authenticate Debentures of such series
upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Corporation that as of the date of such instruction,
the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 102 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.
An Officers' Certificate delivered by the Corporation to the
Trustee in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph
may provide that Debentures which are the subject thereof will be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original
issue from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of
Persons designated in such Officers' Certificate (any such
telephonic
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
10
instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such persons)
and that such Persons are authorized on behalf of the Pricing
Committee to determine, consistent with such Officers' Certificate,
such terms and conditions of said Debentures as are specified in
such Officers' Certificate."
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, (i) Debentures
of the series referred to as "Medium-Term Notes, Series A" (which
Debentures are described in the Prospectus Supplement dated February
1, 1991, to the Company's Prospectus dated November 14, 1988) shall
not be required to be identical as set forth in the third sentence
of Section 301, provided, however, that all Debentures of such
series shall be identical in respect of covenants and Events of
Default, and (ii) the terms of any Debenture of such series may be
determined at the time of issuance of such Debenture by the Pricing
Committee (or by any Person authorized to determine such terms on
behalf of the Pricing Committee).
K. Article Five of the Original Indenture is amended to add a new
Section 511, which reads in its entirety as follows:
"SECTION 511. Record Dates for Action by Holders. If the
Corporation shall solicit from the Holders of Debentures of any series any
action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any
direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the
Corporation may, at its option, by Board Resolution or action taken by the
Pricing Committee, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
of Debentures entitled to take such action, but the Corporation shall have no
obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Corporation's
discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given
before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Debentures of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of
Debentures for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Debentures of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debentures of such series
Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date."
.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

L. The second paragraph of Section 1102 of the Original Indenture
is amended to add the words "(or, in the case of any Global Debenture, the
Depository)" after the words "the Holder" and before the words "the Trustee' in
the third sentence of such paragraph.
M. The fourth paragraph of Section 1102 of the Original Indenture
is amended to add the words "of like tenor and terms" after the words "the
Debentures" and before the words "are to be redeemed" in the first sentence of
such paragraph.
N. The fourth paragraph of Section 1102 of the Original Indenture

paragraph:
"Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if less than all the
Debentures of unlike tenor and terms of any series are to be
redeemed, the particular Debentures to be redeemed shall be selected
by the Corporation, and the notice shall specify the Debentures to
be redeemed."

Exhibit T3E.1 -- Offering Circular, dated as of May 20, 1998;
OFFERING CIRCULAR Cusip No. 019512 AC6
[Logo]
OFFER TO EXCHANGE
DEBENTURES DUE JUNE 1, 2033
FOR ANY AND ALL OF ITS OUTSTANDING
9 1/2% DEBENTURES DUE JUNE 1, 2016
THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY
TIME, ON THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1998, UNLESS EXTENDED (THE 'EXPIRATION DATE').
ALLIEDSIGNAL INC. (the 'Company') hereby offers, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Offering Circular (the 'Offering Circular')
and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the
'Exchange Offer'), to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to
$100,000,000 of its Debentures Due June 1, 2033 (the 'New Debentures') for a
like principal amount of its issued and outstanding 9 1/2% Debentures Due June
1, 2016 (the 'Old Debentures') from the registered holders thereof. See
'Description of New Debentures'. The New Debentures will evidence a new series
of debt and will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, an
Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1985 between the Company and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture
dated as of February 1, 1991 and by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as
of November 1, 1997 (as so supplemented, the 'Indenture'). Although the Old
Debentures are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the 'NYSE'), the Company
does not intend to apply for listing of the New Debentures on the NYSE or any
other exchange.
The Company will accept for exchange any and all Old Debentures validly
tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date. Old Debentures may be
tendered only in denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. See
'The Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Debentures'. The Exchange
Offer is subject to certain customary conditions. See 'The Exchange
Offer -- Conditions to the Exchange Offer'.
(cover page continued on next page)
---------------
SEE 'RISK FACTORS' ON PAGE 11 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN EVALUATING THE EXCHANGE OFFER.
---------------
THE OFFER OF THE SECURITIES CONTEMPLATED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS MADE PURSUANT
TO THE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 5 OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE 'SECURITIES ACT'), PROVIDED BY
SECTION 3(a)(9) THEREOF AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE OFFER OF SUCH SECURITIES
HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR
HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS OFFERING
CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
---------------
The date of this Offering Circular is May 20, 1998.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(continued from cover page)
The New Debentures will bear interest at a rate that could be different
than the interest rate on the Old Debentures (the 'Old Coupon'), as described
herein. For the Old Debentures, a price (the 'Reference Price of the Old
Debentures') will be determined using a specified fixed spread pricing formula.
The Reference Price of the Old Debentures will be based on a yield (the
'Reference Yield of the Old Debentures') to the maturity date of the Old
Debentures equal to (i) the yield (the 'Benchmark Treasury Yield') on the 6 1/8%
U.S. Treasury Bond due November 15, 2027 (the 'Benchmark Treasury Security')
plus (ii) 72 basis points (the '2016 Fixed Spread'). For the New Debentures, a
per annum interest rate (expressed as a percentage with three decimal places
rounded to the nearest half basis point) (the 'New Coupon') will be determined
such that the price of the New Debentures (the 'Reference Price of the New
Debentures') will be at least $15.00 greater than the Reference Price of the Old
Debentures per $1,000 principal amount thereof. The Reference Price of the New
Debentures will be based on a yield (the 'Reference Yield of the New
Debentures') to the maturity date of the New Debentures equal to (i) the
Benchmark Treasury Yield plus (ii) 88 basis points (the '2033 Fixed Spread').
For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Debentures exchanged, the Holder thereof
will receive $1,000 principal amount of New Debentures. The New Coupon and the
reference prices will be determined as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on June
16, 1998, unless the Exchange Offer is extended by more than three business
days, in which case they will be determined on the second business day prior to
the Expiration Date (the 'Price Determination Date').
Interest on the New Debentures will accrue from the last interest payment
date on the Old Debentures (June 1, 1998) at the New Coupon. The first interest
payment date on the New Debentures will be December 1, 1998. Accordingly,
holders exchanging Old Debentures for New Debentures will not receive any
interest payment in respect of Old Debentures so exchanged. However, if the New
Coupon is lower than the Old Coupon, on the Exchange Date (as defined below) the
Company will pay an amount in cash in respect of accrued interest per $1,000
principal amount for each Old Debenture exchanged (rounded to the nearest
thousandth of a cent) (the 'Accrued Interest Differential') equal to the
difference between the Old Coupon and the New Coupon accrued on such principal
amount for the period from June 1, 1998 to, but excluding, the Exchange Date.
The 'Exchange Date' will be the fifth business day following the Expiration Date
(i.e., June 25, 1998, unless the Expiration Date is extended).
The purpose of the Exchange Offer is to take advantage of currently
available interest rates by exchanging a portion of the Company's long-term debt
portfolio upon terms which the Company believes are more beneficial to it. The
Company intends to accomplish this objective by extending the overall maturity
of a portion of its long-term debt portfolio.
Based on an interpretation by the staff of the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'Commission'), the
Company believes that the New Debentures issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer
may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder
thereof without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
The Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any
person to distribute the New Debentures to be received in the Exchange Offer
and, to the best of the Company's information and belief, each person
participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Debentures in the
ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any
person to participate in the distribution of the New Debentures.
The Company has made no arrangements for and has no understanding with any
dealer, salesman or other person regarding the solicitation of tenders
hereunder, and no person has been authorized by the Company to give any
information or to make any representations in connection with the Exchange Offer
other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering
Circular and, if given or made, such other information or representations must
not be relied upon as having been authorized. Neither the delivery of this
Offering Circular nor the exchange of New Debentures for Old Debentures shall,
under any circumstances, create any implication that the information contained
herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the date hereof.

(cover page continued from previous page)
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Exchange Offer. The
Company has agreed to bear the expenses of the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Agent (as defined herein) and The Depository Trust Company
('DTC') have confirmed that the Exchange Offer is eligible for the DTC Automated
Tender Offer Program ('ATOP'). Accordingly, DTC participants may electronically
transmit their acceptance of the Exchange Offer by causing DTC to transfer Old
Debentures to the Exchange Agent in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures for
such a transfer. DTC will then send an Agent's Message (as defined herein) to
the Exchange Agent.

NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, THE EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY, THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR, THE INFORMATION AGENT OR THE
EXCHANGE AGENT MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO HOLDERS OF THE OLD DEBENTURES AS TO
WHETHER TO EXCHANGE OR REFRAIN FROM EXCHANGING THEIR OLD DEBENTURES. IN
ADDITION, NO ONE HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY SUCH RECOMMENDATION. HOLDERS OF
OLD DEBENTURES MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION WHETHER TO EXCHANGE OLD DEBENTURES
PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND, IF SO, THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF OLD
DEBENTURES TO EXCHANGE.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO, NOR WILL THE COMPANY ACCEPT
TENDERS FOR EXCHANGE FROM, HOLDERS OF OLD DEBENTURES IN ANY JURISDICTION IN
WHICH THE EXCHANGE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

Debentures.
The New Debentures will bear interest at a rate that could be
different than the interest rate on the Old Debentures (the 'Old
Coupon'), as described herein. For the Old Debentures, a price (the
'Reference Price of the Old Debentures') will be determined using a
specified fixed spread pricing formula. The Reference Price of the
Old Debentures will be based on a yield (the 'Reference Yield of the
Old Debentures') to the maturity date of the Old Debentures equal to
(i) the yield (the 'Benchmark Treasury Yield') on the 6 1/8% U.S.
Treasury Bond due November 15, 2027 (the 'Benchmark Treasury
Security') plus (ii) 72 basis points (the '2016 Fixed Spread'). For
the New Debentures, a per annum interest rate (expressed as a
percentage with three decimal places rounded to the nearest half
basis point) (the 'New Coupon') will be determined such that the
price of the New Debentures (the 'Reference Price of the New
Debentures') will be at least $15.00 greater than the Reference Price
of the Old Debentures per $1,000 principal amount thereof. The
Reference Price of the New Debentures will be based on a yield (the
'Reference Yield of the New Debentures') to the maturity date of the
New Debentures equal to (i) the Benchmark Treasury Yield plus (ii) 88
basis points (the '2033 Fixed Spread'). For each $1,000 principal
amount of Old Debentures exchanged, the holder thereof will receive
$1,000 principal amount of New Debentures. The New Coupon and the
reference prices will be determined as of 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, on June 16, 1998, unless the Exchange Offer is extended by more
than three business

days, in which case they will be determined on the second business
day prior to the Expiration Date (the 'Price Determination Date').
Interest on the New Debentures will accrue from the last interest
payment date on the Old Debentures (June 1, 1998) at the New Coupon.
The first interest payment date on the New Debentures will be
December 1, 1998. Accordingly, holders exchanging Old Debentures for
New Debentures will not receive any interest payment in respect of
Old Debentures so exchanged. However, if the New Coupon is lower than
the Old Coupon, on the Exchange Date the Company will pay an amount
in cash in respect of accrued interest per $1,000 principal amount
for each Old Debenture exchanged (rounded to the nearest thousandth
of a cent) (the 'Accrued Interest Differential') equal to the
difference between the Old Coupon and the New Coupon accrued on such
principal amount for the period from June 1, 1998 to, but excluding,
the Exchange Date. The 'Exchange Date' will be the fifth business day
following the Expiration Date (i.e., June 25, 1998, unless the
Expiration Date is extended).
The New Debentures will constitute, and the Old Debentures
constitute, direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the
Company.
Calculations.............................. The reference prices, reference yields, Benchmark Treasury Yield, New
Coupon, Spread Differential (as defined below) and Accrued Interest
Differential, if any, will be determined as described and illustrated
in the section 'The Exchange Offer -- Calculations; Information' and
in Table A and Schedules A, B, C, D, E, F and G attached hereto.
Information............................... As soon as practicable after the Price Determination Date, but in any
event before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the following business
day, the Company will publicly announce by press release to the Dow
Jones News Service: the Benchmark Treasury Yield, the Reference Yield
of the Old Debentures, the Reference Price of the Old Debentures, the
Reference Yield of the New Debentures, the Reference Price of the New
Debentures, the New Coupon and the Accrued Interest Differential, if
any.
During the term of the Exchange Offer, holders of the Old Debentures
can obtain current information regarding the Benchmark Treasury
Yield, reference yields, reference prices and other information
regarding the terms of the Exchange Offer from the Financial Advisor
at (212) 469-7512. In addition, the Company intends to publish
information about the Exchange Offer, including the information
described in the preceding paragraph when available, on the MCM
'CorporateWatch' Service on Telerate page 41928.
Old Debentures Outstanding................ As of the date hereof, $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Old
Debentures are outstanding.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer.......... Consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon certain
customary conditions described herein. The Company may, in its sole
discretion, waive any condition with respect to the Exchange Offer
and accept for exchange any Old Debentures tendered. See 'The
Exchange Offer -- Conditions to the Exchange Offer'.
Expiration Date; Extensions;
Termination; Amendments................... The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
June 18, 1998 or at such later time and date to which the Exchange
Offer may be extended by the Company in accordance with the
procedures described herein. The Company reserves the right to extend
or terminate the Exchange Offer. See 'The Exchange
Offer -- Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments'.
If the Exchange Offer is extended for a period longer than three
business days from the previously scheduled Expiration Date, then a
new Price Determination Date, which would be two business days prior
to the new Expiration Date, may be established. If the extension is
for three business days or less, no new Price Determination Date will
be established and the New Coupon will remain as determined on the
Price Determination Date prior to the extension of the Exchange
Offer.
If the consideration offered with respect to the Exchange Offer is
changed or if any other amendment to the terms of the Exchange Offer
is made that, in the opinion of the Company, would be adverse to the
interests of the holders tendering Old Debentures for exchange, the
Exchange Offer will remain open for at least five business days from
the date public notice of such change or amendment is given.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences.............................. The exchange of Old Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer will
constitute a recapitalization for U.S. Federal income tax purposes,
and a holder of Old Debentures that tenders pursuant to the Exchange
Offer generally will recognize no gain or loss upon the exchange of
Old Debentures for New Debentures. See 'Certain U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences'.
Tender of Old Debentures.................. Old Debentures may be tendered for exchange only in denominations of
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. To tender Old Debentures
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, holders must deliver their Old
Debentures together with a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent or the procedures for
book-entry transfer must be used. If Old Debentures are held by a
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee
(individually, a 'Custodian' and collectively, the 'Custodians'), the
beneficial owner thereof must instruct such Custodian to tender such
Old Debentures on their behalf. All tenders must
</TABLE>

<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
be made on or prior to the Expiration Date. See 'The Exchange
Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Debentures'.
New Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry form through DTC.
Accordingly, holders who anticipate tendering and whose Old
Debentures are not held through DTC are urged to contact promptly a
Custodian that has the capability to hold securities through DTC, to
arrange for receipt of any New Debentures to be delivered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer and to obtain the information necessary to provide
the required DTC participant and account information in the relevant
Letter of Transmittal. See 'The Exchange Offer -- Proper Execution
and Delivery of Letter of Transmittal'.
Guaranteed Delivery....................... Holders of Old Debentures who wish to tender their Old Debentures and
who cannot deliver their Old Debentures or the Letter of Transmittal
to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date, or if the
procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely
basis, must tender their Old Debentures pursuant to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth in 'The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed
Delivery Procedures'.
Acceptance of Old Debentures;
Delivery of New Debentures................ Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer,
the Company will exchange (and thereby acquire) any and all Old
Debentures that are properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
Expiration Date. New Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry
form through DTC. New Debentures will be delivered on the fifth
business day following the Expiration Date. See 'The Exchange
Offer -- Acceptance of Old Debentures Tendered for Exchange; Delivery
of New Debentures'.
Withdrawal Rights......................... Tenders of Old Debentures for exchange may be withdrawn at any time
prior to the Expiration Date. Withdrawal of tendered Old Debentures
will be deemed a rejection of the Exchange Offer. See 'The Exchange
Offer -- Withdrawal Rights'.

THE NEW DEBENTURES
Issuer.................................... AlliedSignal Inc.
Indenture................................. The New Debentures will be issued under the Indenture dated as of
October 1, 1985 between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of February
1, 1991 and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 1,
1997. For a discussion of certain changes to the Indenture as a
result of the Second Supplemental Indenture, see 'Description of New
Debentures -- Other Provisions'.
Principal Amount Offered.................. $100,000,000
Maturity Date............................. June 1, 2033. The New Debentures are not subject to redemption prior
to maturity.
Interest.................................. Interest will be paid each June 1 and December 1, commencing December
1, 1998. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. The December 1, 1998 interest
payment will include interest accruing on the New Debentures from
June 1, 1998 to, but not including, December 1, 1998.
Interest Rate............................. The New Coupon determined as provided herein.
Rating.................................... As of the date hereof, the Company's unsecured senior debt
securities, including the Old Debentures, are rated A2 by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's') and A by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies ('S&P'). The
Company does not intend to obtain ratings on the New Debentures;
however, the Company believes that if the New Debentures were rated,
they would receive ratings equivalent to those assigned from time to
time to the Old Debentures. A credit rating is not a recommendation
to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
Ranking................................... The New Debentures will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
of the Company and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Listing................................... Although the Old Debentures are listed on the NYSE, the Company does
not intend to apply for listing of the New Debentures on the NYSE or
any other exchange.

debentures registered in the name of DTC's nominee (the 'Global
Debentures'). Beneficial interests in the Global Debentures will be
shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through,
records maintained by DTC and its participants. Except as described
herein, New Debentures in definitive form will not be issued. The New
Debentures will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until
maturity, and secondary market trading activity for the New
Debentures will therefore settle in immediately available funds. All
payments of principal and interest will be made by the Company in
immediately available funds. See 'Description of New
Debentures -- Same-Day Settlement and Payment'.
Use of Proceeds........................... The New Debentures will be issued only in exchange for the Old
Debentures. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the
issuance of the New Debentures.

RISK FACTORS
In deciding whether to participate in the Exchange Offer, each holder
should consider carefully, in addition to the other information contained in the
Offering Circular, the factors listed below.
A debt security with a smaller outstanding aggregate principal amount may
command a lower price than would an otherwise identical debt security with a
larger outstanding aggregate principal amount. Depending upon, among other
things, the aggregate principal amount of Old Debentures outstanding after the
Exchange Offer, the trading market for the Old Debentures may be more limited,
which may, therefore, adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the Old
Debentures. Similarly, depending upon, among other things, the aggregate
principal amount of the New Debentures outstanding after the Exchange Offer, the
trading market for the New Debentures may be limited, which may, therefore,
adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the New Debentures. In
addition to the respective aggregate principal amounts outstanding, the trading
market for the Old Debentures not tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and
the New Debentures will depend upon, among other things, the number of holders
of each and the degree to which securities firms maintain a market in the
securities. In addition, although the Old Debentures are listed on the NYSE, the
Company does not intend to apply for listing of the New Debentures on the NYSE
or any other exchange.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The purpose of the Exchange Offer is to take advantage of currently
available interest rates by exchanging a portion of the Company's long-term debt
portfolio upon terms which the Company believes are more beneficial to it. The
Company intends to accomplish this objective by extending the overall maturity
of a portion of its long-term debt portfolio.
TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offering
Circular and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, the Company is offering to
exchange $1,000 principal amount of the New Debentures for each $1,000 principal
amount of the Old Debentures properly tendered for Exchange.
The New Debentures will bear interest at a rate that could be different
than the interest rate on the Old Debentures (the 'Old Coupon'), as described
herein. For the Old Debentures, a price (the 'Reference Price of the Old
Debentures') will be determined using a specified fixed spread pricing formula.
The Reference Price of the Old Debentures will be based on a yield (the
'Reference Yield of the Old Debentures') to the maturity date of the Old
Debentures equal to (i) the yield (the 'Benchmark Treasury Yield') on the 6 1/8%
U.S. Treasury Bond due November 15, 2027 (the 'Benchmark Treasury Security')
plus (ii) 72 basis points (the '2016 Fixed Spread'). For the New Debentures, a
per annum interest rate (expressed as a percentage with three decimal places
rounded to the nearest half basis point) (the 'New Coupon') will be determined
such that the price of the New Debentures (the 'Reference Price of the New
Debentures') will be at least $15.00 greater than the Reference Price of the Old
Debentures per $1,000 principal amount thereof. The Reference Price of the New
Debentures will be based on a yield (the 'Reference Yield of the New
Debentures') to the maturity date of the New Debentures equal to (i) the
Benchmark Treasury Yield plus (ii) 88 basis points (the '2033 Fixed Spread').
For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Debentures exchanged, the holder thereof
will receive $1,000 principal amount of New Debentures. The New Coupon and the
reference prices will be determined as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on June
16, 1998, unless the Exchange Offer is extended by more than three business
days, in which case they will be determined on the second business day prior to
the Expiration Date (the 'Price Determination Date').
Interest on the New Debentures will accrue from the last interest payment
date on the Old Debentures (June 1, 1998) at the New Coupon. The first interest
payment date on the New Debentures will be December 1, 1998. Accordingly,
holders exchanging Old Debentures for New Debentures will not receive any
interest payment in respect of Old Debentures so exchanged. However, if the New
Coupon is lower than the Old Coupon, on the Exchange Date the Company will pay
an amount in cash in respect of accrued interest per $1,000 principal amount for
each Old Debenture exchanged (rounded to the nearest thousandth of a cent) (the
'Accrued Interest Differential') equal to the difference between the Old Coupon
and the New Coupon accrued on such principal amount for the period from June 1,
1998 to, but excluding, the Exchange Date. The 'Exchange Date' will be the fifth
business day following the Expiration Date (i.e., June 25, 1998, unless the
Expiration Date is extended).

<PAGE>
Debentures (the 'Price Differential'), (vii) Spread Differential and (viii)
Accrued Interest Differential, if any, for Benchmark Treasury Yields between
5.40% and 6.40% on the Price Determination Date. The information in Table A is
provided for illustrative purposes only. In the event of any discrepancy between
the information in Table A and results obtained by the Company through the
application of calculations described herein and outlined in Schedules A, C, and
F, such results will supersede the information in Table A.
CALCULATIONS; INFORMATION
The Reference Price of the Old Debentures will be determined by
calculating, per $1,000 principal amount of such Old Debentures, the present
value (less accrued and unpaid interest), using the Reference Yield of the Old
Debentures, of (i) the principal amount payable on the maturity date of the Old
Debentures plus (ii) all remaining payments of interest on the Old Debentures.
The Reference Price of the Old Debentures will be rounded to the nearest cent
per $1,000 principal amount of Old Debentures. The methodology to be used in
calculating the Reference Price of the Old Debentures is set forth in Schedule A
attached hereto. An example of the application of such methodology is provided
for the Old Debentures in Schedule B attached hereto. The Reference Yield of the
Old Debentures will be determined by calculating the sum of (a) the Benchmark
Treasury Yield and (b) the 2016 Fixed Spread. The reference price calculation
will be made using the Benchmark Treasury Yield as of the Price Determination
Date.
For the New Debentures, the New Coupon will be such that the Reference
Price of the New Debentures will be at least $15.00 greater than the Reference
Price of the Old Debentures per $1,000 principal amount of the Old Debentures.
The Reference Price of the New Debentures will be determined by calculating, per
$1,000 principal amount of New Debentures, the present value (less accrued and
unpaid interest), using the Reference Yield of the New Debentures, of (i) the
principal amount payable on the maturity date of the New Debentures plus (ii)
all remaining payments of interest on the New Debentures. The Reference Price of
the New Debentures will be rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 principal
amount of New Debentures. The methodology to be used in calculating the
Reference Price of the New Debentures is set forth in Schedule C attached
hereto. An example of the application of such methodology is provided for the
New Debentures in Schedule D attached hereto. The Reference Yield of the New
Debentures will be determined by calculating the sum of (a) the Benchmark
Treasury Yield and (b) the 2033 Fixed Spread. The reference price calculation
will be made using the Benchmark Treasury Yield as of the Price Determination
Date.
The Benchmark Treasury Yield will be calculated by the Financial Advisor in
accordance with standard market practice based on the bid side price for the
Benchmark Treasury Security as of the Price Determination Date, as such bid side
price is displayed on the Cantor Fitzgerald Quotation Service for U.S.
Government Securities (the 'Cantor Fitzgerald Quotation Service') on Telerate
page 500. If any relevant price is not available on a timely basis on the Cantor
Fitzgerald Quotation Service or is manifestly erroneous, the relevant price
information may be obtained from such other quotation service as the Company and
the Financial Advisor shall select in their reasonable discretion, the identity
of which shall be disclosed by the Company and the Financial Advisor to
exchanging holders. Although the Benchmark Treasury Yield will be determined
based solely on the sources described above, information regarding the price of
the Benchmark Treasury Security also may be found in The Wall Street Journal.
After the Price Determination Date, the New Coupon that will be received by
a holder pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be known and holders will be able
to ascertain the Reference Price of the Old Debentures and the Reference Price
of the New Debentures in the manner described above, unless the Exchange Offer
is extended for a period longer than three business days. In the event the
Exchange Offer is extended for a period longer than three business days from the
previously scheduled Expiration Date, then a new Price Determination Date, which
would be two business days prior to the new Expiration Date, will be
established. If the extension is for three business days or less, no new
14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Price Determination Date will be established and the New Coupon will remain as
determined on the Price Determination Date prior to the extension of the
Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the Price Determination Date, but in any event
before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the following business day, the Company
will publicly announce by press release to the Dow Jones News Service: the
Benchmark Treasury Yield, the Reference Yield of the Old Debentures, the
Reference Price of the Old Debentures, the Reference Yield of the New
Debentures, the Reference Price of the New Debentures, the New Coupon and the
Accrued Interest Differential, if any.
During the term of the Exchange Offer, holders of the Old Debentures can
obtain current information regarding the Benchmark Treasury Yield, reference
yields, reference prices and other information regarding the terms of the
Exchange Offer from the Financial Advisor at (212) 469-7512. In addition, the
Company intends to publish information about the Exchange Offer, including the
information described in the preceding paragraph when available, on the MCM
'CorporateWatch' Service on Telerate page 41928.
In the event any dispute arises with respect to the Benchmark Treasury
Yield, the reference yields, the reference prices, the New Coupon or any
quotation or calculation with respect to the Exchange Offer, the Company's
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; TERMINATION; AMENDMENTS
The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June
18, 1998, unless extended by the Company as provided herein. In the event that
the Exchange Offer is extended, the term 'Expiration Date' with respect to such
extended Exchange Offer shall mean the time and date on which the Exchange
Offer, as so extended, shall expire.
The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject
to applicable law, to (i) extend or terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept
for exchange any tendered Old Debentures if (a) any of the conditions specified
in ' -- Conditions to the Exchange Offer' are not satisfied or waived or (b)
otherwise, (ii) waive any condition to the Exchange Offer and accept all Old
Debentures tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, (iii) extend the Exchange
Offer and retain all the Old Debentures tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer
until the expiration of the Exchange Offer, subject, however, to the withdrawal
rights of holders as provided in, ' -- Withdrawal Rights', (iv) amend the terms
of the Exchange Offer and (v) modify the form of the consideration to be
provided pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as
practicable by a public announcement and notification to the Exchange Agent. In
the case of any extension, a public announcement will be issued prior to 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously
scheduled Expiration Date. Without limiting the manner in which the Company may
choose to make any public announcement, the Company shall have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other
than by release to the Dow Jones News Service or otherwise as required by law.
In the event of any extension of the Exchange Offer, all Old Debentures tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not subsequently withdrawn, will remain
subject to, and holders will continue to have withdrawal rights until the
expiration of, the Exchange Offer.
EFFECT OF TENDER
A tendering holder of Old Debentures that are exchanged in the Exchange
Offer will not be obligated to pay transfer taxes or any fees or commissions
with respect to the acquisition of their Old Debentures by the Company pursuant
to the Exchange Offer. See Instruction 7 of the accompanying Letter of
Transmittal. However, if the beneficial owner tenders through a Custodian, such
beneficial owner may be required to pay fees or commissions to such institution.
15

<PAGE>
ACCEPTANCE OF OLD DEBENTURES TENDERED FOR EXCHANGE; DELIVERY OF NEW DEBENTURES
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
Company will exchange Old Debentures by accepting such Old Debentures for
exchange and in consideration therefor will issue a like principal amount of New
Debentures. New Debentures will be delivered on the Exchange Date. The Exchange
Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving
Old Debentures and delivering New Debentures to such holders. In all cases, Old
Debentures will be accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer only
after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of certificates representing Old
Debentures (or confirmation of a book-entry transfer), a properly completed and
duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof or
satisfaction of DTC's ATOP procedures) and any other documents required thereby.
New Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry form through DTC and
only to the DTC account of the tendering holder or the tendering holder's
Custodian. Accordingly, a holder who tenders Old Debentures must specify on the
Letter of Transmittal the DTC participant to which New Debentures should be
delivered and all necessary account information to effect such delivery. Failure
to provide such information will render such holder's tender defective and the
Company will have the right, which it may waive, to reject such tender. The
Company and the Exchange Agent shall not incur any liability for delivering New
Debentures in accordance with any instructions provided by a tendering holder.
The Company will be deemed to have accepted for exchange (and thereby to
have acquired) tendered Old Debentures as, if and when the Company gives oral
(promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice to the Exchange Agent of the
Company's acceptance of such Old Debentures for exchange. Old Debentures
accepted for exchange by the Company will be canceled.
If Old Debentures in a principal amount in excess of the principal amount
indicated as being tendered on the Letter of Transmittal are submitted, an Old
Debenture in principal amount equal to the excess principal amount over the
amount indicated as tendered in the Letter of Transmittal will be issued to the
tendering holder, at the Company's expense, in the same form in which such
security was tendered, as promptly as practicable following the expiration or
termination of the Exchange Offer. If any tendered Old Debentures are not
accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain
other events set forth herein or otherwise, such Old Debentures will be
returned, at the Company's expense, to the tendering holder thereof, as promptly
as practicable following the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.
PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING OLD DEBENTURES
Minimum Denominations. A holder may tender less than all Old Debentures
held by such holder. However, Old Debentures may be tendered only in
denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
Tender of Old Debentures Held in Physical Form. To tender Old Debentures
held in physical form, a holder must (i) complete (including the required
information regarding delivery of New Debentures through DTC) and sign the
Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions set forth therein and
(ii) deliver the properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, together
with any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and the Old
Debentures in physical form, to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth
under 'Available Information' prior to the Expiration Date.
Tender of Old Debentures Held Through a Custodian. To tender Old Debentures
held by a Custodian, the beneficial owner of the Old Debentures must contact the
Custodian and direct the Custodian to tender such Old Debentures in accordance
with the procedures set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal.
The Exchange Agent and DTC have confirmed that the Exchange Offer is
eligible for ATOP. Accordingly, DTC participants may electronically transmit
their acceptance of the Exchange Offer by causing DTC to transfer Old Debentures
to the Exchange Agent in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures for such a
transfer. DTC will then send an Agent's Message to the Exchange Agent.
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The term 'Agent's Message' means a message transmitted by DTC, received by
the Exchange Agent and forming part of a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined
herein), which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the
DTC participant tendering Old Debentures which are the subject of such
Book-Entry Confirmation, that such DTC participant has received and agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce
such agreement against such DTC participant. In the case of an Agent's Message
relating to a guaranteed delivery, the term means a message transmitted by DTC
and received by the Exchange Agent, which states that DTC has received an
express acknowledgment from the DTC participant tendering Old Debentures that
such DTC participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery (as described below). Holders desiring to tender Old
Debentures on the Expiration Date should note that such holders must allow
sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during the normal business
hours of DTC on that date.
If the Custodian holds Old Debentures in physical form, the Custodian must
follow the procedure set forth above under ' -- Procedures for Tendering Old
Debentures -- Tender of Old Debentures Held in Physical Form'.
If the Custodian holds Old Debentures in book-entry form through DTC (the
'Book-Entry Transfer Facility'), to tender such Old Debentures the Custodian
must (i) effect a book-entry transfer (a 'Book-Entry Confirmation') of all Old
Debentures to be tendered to the Exchange Agent's account at such Book-Entry
Transfer Facility prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) complete (including the
required information regarding delivery of New Debentures through DTC) and sign
the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions set forth therein
and deliver the properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, together
with any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange
Agent at the address set forth under 'Available Information' prior to the
Expiration Date.
Book-Entry Delivery Procedures. The Exchange Agent will establish promptly
an account with respect to the Old Debentures at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any financial institution that is a
participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility may make a book-entry delivery
of Old Debentures by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer Old
Debentures to the Exchange Agent's account. DELIVERY OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
TO A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY WILL NOT CONSTITUTE VALID DELIVERY TO THE
EXCHANGE AGENT.
Any holder whose Old Debentures have been mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed will be responsible for obtaining replacement securities or for
arranging for indemnification with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee for the
Old Debentures. Holders may contact the Information Agent for assistance with
such matters.
IN ORDER FOR A TENDERING HOLDER TO BE ASSURED OF PARTICIPATING IN THE
EXCHANGE OFFER, SUCH HOLDER MUST TENDER OLD DEBENTURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROCEDURES SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL PRIOR TO THE
EXPIRATION DATE. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD DEBENTURES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL,
REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED
AND ENOUGH TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Letters of Transmittal and Old Debentures must be sent only to the Exchange
Agent. Do not send Letters of Transmittal or Old Debentures to the Company, the
Trustee, the Information Agent or the Financial Advisor.
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES
If a holder of Old Debentures wishes to tender such Old Debentures and time
will not permit such holder's Old Debentures or other required documents to
reach the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date, or the procedure for
book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be
effected if (i) the tender is made through an Eligible Institution (as such term
is defined
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
in the Letter of Transmittal), (ii) on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent receives from such Eligible
Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Company (by facsimile
transmission, mail, hand delivery or by Agent's Message), setting forth the name
and address of the holder of Old Debentures and the amount of Old Debentures
tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that
within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered Old
Debentures, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the
case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of
Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof or Agent's Message in lieu
thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required
by the Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with
the Exchange Agent, and (iii) the certificates for all physically tendered Old
Debentures, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the
case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of
Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required signature
guarantees, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal are
deposited by the Eligible Institution within three NYSE trading days after the
date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
PROPER EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
In general, all signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of
withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution; however, such
signatures need not be guaranteed if (a) the Letter of Transmittal is signed by
the holder of the Old Debentures tendered thereby or by a participant in a
Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name appears on a security position listing
as the holder of the Old Debentures tendered thereby and such holder has not
completed the portion entitled 'Special Delivery Instructions' on the Letter of
Transmittal, or (b) such Old Debentures tendered are for the account of an
Eligible Institution.
If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the holder of the Old Debentures
tendered thereby or a participant in a Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name
appears on a security position listing with respect to the Old Debentures
tendered thereby, the signature must correspond with the name as written on the
face of the Old Debentures or on the security position listing, respectively,
without any change whatsoever. If any of the Old Debentures tendered thereby are
held by two or more holders, all such holders must sign the Letter of
Transmittal. If any of the Old Debentures tendered thereby are registered in
different names on different Old Debentures, it will be necessary to complete,
sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different
registrations.
If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the holder of
the Old Debentures tendered thereby or a participant in a Book-Entry Transfer
Facility whose name appears on a security position listing with respect to the
Old Debentures tendered thereby, the Old Debentures must be endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in either case, signed
exactly as the name of the holder appears on the face of the Old Debentures or
on the security position listing with respect thereto. If the Letter of
Transmittal or any Old Debentures, proxy or instrument of transfer is signed by
a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a
corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity,
such person must so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to
the Exchange Agent of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted.
New Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry form through DTC and
only to the DTC account of the holder or the holder's Custodian. If Old
Debentures not tendered or not exchanged are to be delivered to a person other
than the holder of the Old Debentures tendered, or to an address other than that
of the holder of the Old Debentures tendered, such holder should indicate in the
portion of the Letter of Transmittal entitled 'Special Delivery Instructions'
the person and/or address to which such Old Debentures are to be delivered. If
Old Debentures not tendered or not exchanged are to be issued to a person other
than the holder of the Old Debentures tendered: (i) the employer identification
or social security number of the person to whom issuance is to be made must be
indicated on the
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Letter of Transmittal; and (ii) the Old Debentures must be endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, signed exactly as the name
of the holder appears on the face of the Old Debentures or the security position
listing with respect thereto, with the signature on the certificates or
instruments of transfer guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If no such
instructions are given, any Old Debentures not tendered or exchanged will be
delivered to the holder of the Old Debentures tendered.
Because New Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry form through
DTC, a holder who tenders Old Debentures must specify on the Letter of
Transmittal the DTC participant to which New Debentures should be delivered and
all necessary account information to effect such delivery. Such DTC participant
must be either the holder or a Custodian for the holder. Failure to provide such
information will render such holder's tender defective and the Company will have
the right, which it may waive, to reject such tender. Holders who anticipate
tendering other than through DTC are urged to contact promptly a Custodian that
has the capability to hold securities through DTC to arrange for receipt of any
New Debentures to be delivered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and to obtain the
information necessary to complete the account information table in the Letter of
Transmittal.
No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be
accepted. By executing the Letter of Transmittal, the holder of Old Debentures
waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for exchange of such
holder's Old Debentures, except as otherwise provided herein.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of tendered Old Debentures will be determined by the
Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding. The Company
reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders that are not in proper
form or the acceptance of which may be, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any
condition of the Exchange Offer as set forth under ' -- Conditions to the
Exchange Offer' and any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular
Old Debentures. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the
Exchange Offer (including the instructions in the Letters of Transmittal) shall
be conclusive and binding.
Unless waived, any irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured
within such time as the Company may determine. The Company, the Exchange Agent
and the Information Agent shall not be under any duty to give notification of
defects in such tenders and shall not incur liability for any failure to give
such notification. Tenders of Old Debentures will not be deemed to have been
made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Debentures
received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which
the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the
Exchange Agent to the holder, unless otherwise provided in the Letter of
Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
CONDITIONS TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer or any extension
of the Exchange Offer, the Company will not be required to issue New Debentures

affecting the business condition (financial or otherwise), income,
operations, properties, assets, liabilities or prospects of the Company
that, in the sole judgment of the Company, would or might prohibit,

Exchange or (ii) that in the sole judgment of the Company will, or is

foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer, a
material acceleration or worsening thereof;
(d) the Trustee shall not have objected in any respect to, or taken
any action that could in the sole judgment of the Company adversely affect
the consummation of, the Exchange Offer or the Exchange nor shall the
Trustee have taken any action that challenges the validity or effectiveness
of the procedures used by the Company in making the Exchange Offer or the
Exchange;
(e) there shall not have occurred, been proposed or been announced any
tender or exchange offer with respect to any class of the Company's equity
securities, or any merger, acquisition, business combination or other
similar transaction with or involving the Company or any subsidiary

(f) there shall not have occurred any change in the business,
condition (financial or other), income, operations or prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (including, without
limitation, any downgrade in the credit ratings of any securities of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries by Moody's or S&P or any announcement by
Moody's or S&P that it has placed any such rating under surveillance or
review with possible negative implications), which, in the sole judgment of
the Company, is or may be materially adverse to the Company; and
(g) (i) no person, entity or 'group' (as that term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) shall have acquired, or proposed to acquire,
beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding common
stock, (ii) no group shall have been formed which beneficially owns more
than 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock and (iii) no person,

If any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied, the Company may (i)
terminate the Exchange Offer and return such Old Debentures to the holders who
tendered them, (ii) extend the Exchange Offer and retain all tendered Old
Debentures until the expiration of the Exchange Offer, as extended, subject,
however, to the withdrawal rights of holders, see ' -- Withdrawal Rights' and
' -- Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments', or (iii) waive any
of the conditions with respect to the Exchange Offer and accept all Old
Debentures tendered therein.
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Company and may be
waived by the Company, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion. Any
determination made by the Company concerning an event, development or
circumstance described or referred to above shall be conclusive and binding.
In addition, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
purchase or make offers for any Old Debentures that remain outstanding
subsequent to the completion or termination of the Exchange Offer. The terms of
any such purchase or offer could differ from the terms of the Exchange Offer.
WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS
Tendered Old Debentures may be withdrawn by the holder prior to the
Expiration Date.
A holder of Old Debentures who tendered Old Debentures in physical form may
withdraw the Old Debentures tendered by providing a written notice of withdrawal
(or manually signed facsimile thereof) to the Exchange Agent, at its address set
forth under 'Available Information', prior to the Expiration Date, which notice
must contain: (i) the name of the person who tendered the Old Debentures; (ii) a
description of the Old Debentures to be withdrawn; (iii) the certificate number
or numbers shown on the particular certificate or certificates evidencing such
Old Debentures; (iv) the aggregate principal amount represented by such Old
Debentures; (v) the signature of the holder of such Old Debentures executed in
the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal
(including a signature guarantee, if such original signature was guaranteed);
and (vi) if such Old Debentures are owned by a new beneficial owner, evidence
satisfactory to the Company that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded
to the beneficial ownership of the Old Debentures.
If a beneficial owner of Old Debentures tendered through a Custodian wishes
to withdraw the Old Debentures tendered, such beneficial owner must contact the
Custodian and direct the Custodian to withdraw such Old Debentures in accordance
with the following procedures. In order to withdraw such Old Debentures the
Custodian must provide a written notice of withdrawal (or manually signed
facsimile thereof) to the Exchange Agent, at its address set forth under
'Available Information', prior to the Expiration Date, which notice must
contain: (i) the name of the person who tendered the Old Debentures; (ii) a

book-entry transfer, the Custodian also must debit the Exchange Agent's account
at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility through which the tender was made of all Old
Debentures to be withdrawn.
A PURPORTED NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL WHICH LACKS ANY OF THE REQUIRED
INFORMATION WILL NOT BE AN EFFECTIVE WITHDRAWAL OF A TENDER PREVIOUSLY MADE.
TENDERS MAY NOT BE WITHDRAWN AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE.
Holders who have tendered in the Exchange Offer will continue to have
withdrawal rights following any extension of the Expiration Date. Any permitted
withdrawals of tenders of Old Debentures may not be rescinded, and any Old
Debentures so withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for
purposes of the Exchange Offer and the holder thereof will be deemed to have
rejected the Exchange Offer. However, withdrawn Old Debentures may be
re-tendered prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures for
tendering described above.
All questions as to the validity (including time of receipt) of notices of
withdrawal will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be
conclusive and binding. None of the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other
person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or
irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to
give any such notification.

TRANSFER TAXES
The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer
and acquisition of Old Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however,
substitute Old Debentures for amounts not tendered or not exchanged are to be
delivered to, or are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the
holder of Old Debentures tendered, or if tendered Old Debentures are registered
in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of
Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the
transfer to or acquisition by the Company of Old Debentures pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the
holder or any other persons) shall be payable by the holder. If satisfactory
evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with
the appropriate Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be
billed directly to such holder and/or withheld from any payments due with
respect to the Old Debentures tendered by such holder.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The Company has engaged Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Inc. to act as Financial
Advisor in connection with the Exchange Offer. Any holder who has questions
concerning the terms of the Exchange Offer or who would like current information
regarding the Benchmark Treasury Yields, the reference yields, the reference
prices or the New Coupon may contact the Financial Advisor at (212) 469-7512 or
at the address set forth under 'Available Information'.
The Company has agreed to pay the Financial Advisor a financial advisory

out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel,
and the Company has agreed to indemnify the Financial Advisor against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws, in

DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEBENTURES
The following summary of certain provisions of the New Debentures and the
Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject, and is qualified in
its entirety by reference, to all the provisions of the New Debentures and the
Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms.
GENERAL
The New Debentures will be issued under the Indenture dated as of October
1, 1985 between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 1, 1991
and the Second Supplemental Indenture (the 'Second Supplemental Indenture')
dated as of November 1, 1997 (as so supplemented, the 'Indenture'). The Old
Debentures were issued under the same Indenture as the New Debentures will be
issued under, except that the Supplemental Indentures did not apply to the Old
Debentures. See ' -- Other Provisions'. The following statements with respect to
the New Debentures are subject to the detailed provisions of the Indenture.
Whenever any particular provision of the Indenture or any term used therein is
referred to, such provision or term is incorporated by reference as a part of
the statement in connection with which such reference is made, and the statement
in connection with which such reference is made is qualified in its entirety by
such reference.
The New Debentures will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the
Company and will mature on June 1, 2033. The New Debentures are not subject to
redemption prior to maturity.
The New Debentures will bear interest from June 1, 1998 at the New Coupon,
payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 1998, to
the person in whose name the New Debenture was registered at the close of
business on the preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively, subject to
certain exceptions.
The Company does not intend to apply for listing of the New Debentures on
the NYSE or any other exchange.
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
The New Debentures will be issued in the form of one fully registered
Global Debenture. The Global Debenture will be deposited with, or on behalf of
DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC's nominee.
Beneficial interests in the Global Debenture will be represented through
book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial
owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Except as set forth below,
the Global Debenture may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to
another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
DTC has advised as follows: It is a limited-purpose trust company which was
created to hold securities for its participating organizations ('DTC
participants') and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in such securities between DTC participants through electronic
book-entry changes in accounts of DTC participants. DTC participants include
securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, clearing corporations
and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to
others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or
indirectly ('indirect participants'). Persons who are not DTC participants may
beneficially own securities held by DTC only through DTC participants or
indirect participants.
DTC advises that pursuant to procedures established by it (i) upon issuance
of the New Debentures by the Company, DTC will credit the accounts of DTC
participants whose Old Debentures were exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer
with the principal amount of the New Debentures so exchanged, and (ii) ownership
of beneficial interests in the Global Debenture will be shown on, and the
transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by
DTC, the DTC participants and the indirect participants. The laws of some states
require that certain persons take
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
physical delivery in definitive form of securities which they own. Consequently,
the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the Global Debenture is limited
to such extent.
So long as a nominee of DTC is the registered owner of the Global
Debenture, such nominee for all purposes will be considered the sole owner or
holder of the New Debentures under the Indenture. Except as provided below,
owners of beneficial interests in the Global Debenture will not be entitled to
have New Debentures registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled
to receive physical delivery of New Debentures in definitive form, and will not
be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture.
Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in the Global Debenture, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Principal and interest payments on the New Debentures registered in the
name of DTC's nominee will be made by the Trustee to DTC. Under the terms of the
Indenture, the Company and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the
New Debentures are registered as the owners of such New Debentures for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal and interest on such New Debentures
and for all other purposes whatsoever. Therefore, neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any Paying Agent has any direct responsibility or liability for the
payment of principal or interest on the New Debentures to owners of beneficial
interests in the Global Debenture. DTC has advised the Company and the Trustee
that its present practice is, upon receipt of any payment of principal or
interest, to immediately credit the accounts of the DTC participants with such
payment in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal
amount of beneficial interests in the Global Debenture as shown on the records
of DTC. Payments by DTC participants and indirect participants to owners of
beneficial interests in the Global Debenture will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held
for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in 'street name', and
will be the responsibility of the DTC participants or indirect participants.
If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company
will issue New Debentures in definitive form in exchange for the Global
Debenture. In addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have the
New Debentures represented by a Global Debenture and, in such event, will issue
New Debentures in definitive form in exchange for the Global Debenture. In
either instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Debenture will
be entitled to have New Debentures equal in principal amount to such beneficial
interest registered in its name and will be entitled to physical delivery of
such New Debentures endorsed thereon in definitive form. New Debentures so
issued in definitive form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
All payments of principal and interest on the New Debentures will be made
by the Company in immediately available funds.
Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of corporate issuers is
generally settled in clearing-house or next-day funds. In contrast, the New
Debentures will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity,
and secondary market trading activity in the New Debentures will therefore be
required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. No assurance can be
given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on
trading activity in the New Debentures.
OTHER PROVISIONS
In general, the provisions in the Indenture with respect to the Company's
limitations on liens, merger and consolidation of the Company, events of
default, defeasance and modification of the
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Indenture that apply to the Old Debentures also will apply to the New
Debentures; except that pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture (a) the
New Debentures will be subject to covenant defeasance and (b) the clause in the
merger and consolidation covenant prohibiting a merger, consolidation or sale of
substantially all of the Company's assets if, as a result, such assets would be
encumbered without equally securing the outstanding debts under the old
Indenture, has been eliminated.
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. Federal income tax
consequences of the Exchange Offer to holders of Old Debentures and of the
ownership and disposition of New Debentures acquired pursuant to the Exchange
Offer. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the 'Code'), Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') rulings,
official pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date
hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect,
or different interpretations. This summary is applicable only to persons who
hold Old Debentures as capital assets and who will hold New Debentures as
capital assets. This summary does not discuss all the U.S. Federal income tax
consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder's
particular circumstances. In particular, this summary does not address any
special rules that may be applicable to insurance companies, tax-exempt persons,
financial institutions, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or
currencies, pass-through entities, persons that hold Old Debentures or New
Debentures as part of an integrated investment (including a 'straddle')
consisting of Old Debentures or New Debentures and one or more other positions,
foreign corporations, persons who are not citizens or residents of the United
States, or persons whose functional currency is other than the United States
dollar. In addition, this summary does not address any state or local tax
considerations that may be relevant to a holder's decision to exchange Old
Debentures for New Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT TAX ADVICE TO ANY HOLDER OF OLD DEBENTURES. ALL
HOLDERS OF OLD DEBENTURES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE
UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OF OLD
DEBENTURES FOR NEW DEBENTURES AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW
DEBENTURES RECEIVED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER IN LIGHT OF THEIR OWN PARTICULAR
CIRCUMSTANCES.
EXCHANGE OF OLD DEBENTURES FOR NEW DEBENTURES
The Exchange will constitute a recapitalization within the meaning of
section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. A holder of Old Debentures who exchanges Old
Debentures for New Debentures will recognize no gain or loss on the Exchange.
However, a cash-basis holder of Old Debentures who exchanges an Old Debenture
for a New Debenture may be required to recognize as interest income received on
the Exchange Date (rather than when paid) an amount equal to the interest
accrued on such Old Debenture from June 1, 1998 through the Exchange Date. Any
Accrued Interest Differential and the portion of the first interest payment on
the New Debentures that represents stated interest accrued from June 1, 1998
through the Exchange Date should be treated as a payment in respect of interest
accrued on the Old Debentures.
An exchanging holder's tax basis in New Debentures received in the Exchange
will be the same as such holder's tax basis in the Old Debentures exchanged. An
exchanging holder's holding period for the New Debentures received in the
Exchange will include its holding period for the Old Debentures exchanged.
If a holder's tax basis in Old Debentures immediately after the acquisition
of Old Debentures exceeded the principal amount of such Old Debentures, such
excess constituted amortizable bond premium which the holder may have elected to
amortize under a constant yield method under section 171 of the Code. If such an
electing holder exchanges Old Debentures for New Debentures, the
25
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
remaining bond premium on the Old Debentures will carry over to and become bond
premium on the New Debentures and would be amortizable over the term of the New
Debentures as discussed below.
Some holders of Old Debentures may have acquired them at a 'market
discount'. For this purpose, 'market discount' is the excess (if any) of the
principal amount over the holder's acquisition price, subject to a statutory de
minimis exception. While accrued market discount generally must be recognized to
the extent of gain realized on the disposition of a market discount debt
instrument, the Exchange will not cause any exchanging holders of Old Debentures
who acquired them at a market discount to recognize any accrued market discount
as income. Instead, any accrued market discount on Old Debentures that are
exchanged for New Debentures will attach to the New Debentures. In addition,
unaccrued market discount on such Old Debentures will carry over to the New
Debentures and will accrue over the extended term of the New Debentures.
NEW DEBENTURES
Stated Interest on New Debentures. In general, interest based on the stated
interest rate of the New Debentures from and after the Exchange Date will be
ordinary income, taxable when accrued, in the case of a holder utilizing the
accrual method of accounting, or when received, in the case of a holder
utilizing the cash method of accounting.
No Original Issue Discount. The New Debentures will not be treated as
issued with original issue discount ('OID'), because their 'stated redemption
price at maturity' will not exceed their 'issue price'.
Bond Premium. If a holder's tax basis in New Debentures immediately after
the Exchange exceeds the principal amount of such New Debentures, such excess
will constitute amortizable bond premium which the holder may elect to amortize
under a constant yield method under section 171 of the Code. A holder that
elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the tax basis in the New Debentures
by the amount so amortized. The amortizable bond premium will be treated as an
offset to interest income rather than as a separate deduction item. An election
to amortize bond premium under section 171 of the Code by a holder will apply to
all obligations owned or acquired by the holder in the current and all
subsequent taxable years and may not be revoked without the permission of the
IRS. If an election to amortize bond premium is not made, a holder must include
the full amount of each interest payment in income in accordance with its
regular method of accounting and will receive a tax benefit from the premium
only in computing gain or loss upon the redemption, sale or other disposition of
the New Debentures.
Sale of the New Debentures. In general, upon a sale or other disposition of
the New Debentures, a holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between (i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts
attributable to accrued interest) and (ii) the holder's tax basis in the New
Debentures. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss (subject to
the market discount rules).
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
A holder of New Debentures may be subject to backup withholding at a rate
of 31 percent with respect to interest paid (or the proceeds of a redemption)
sale or other disposition of the New Debentures, unless the holder provides its
taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications to the payor
or otherwise establishes an exemption. Any amounts so withheld would be allowed
as a credit against the holder's federal income tax liability.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company will exchange New Debentures for Old Debentures. Accordingly,
the Company will not receive any proceeds from the exchange of New Debentures
for Old Debentures.
Based on an interpretation by the staff of the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Commission, the Company believes that the New Debentures issued
pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered
26
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder thereof without
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any
person to distribute the New Debentures to be received in the Exchange Offer
and, to the best of the Company's information and belief, each person
participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Debentures in the
ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any
person to participate in the distribution of the New Debentures.
The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer
(other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers).
VALIDITY OF NEW DEBENTURES
The validity of the New Debentures will be passed upon for the Company by
J. Edward Smith, Senior Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of the Company.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997,
have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, as set forth
in their report dated January 28, 1998 accompanying such financial statements.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of the
Company for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, incorporated
by reference in this Offering Circular, Price Waterhouse reported that they have
applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a
review of such information. However, their separate report dated April 22, 1998
incorporated by reference herein, states that they did not audit and they did
not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Price Waterhouse
has not carried out any significant or additional tests beyond those which would
have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the
degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in
light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.

INSTRUCTIONS TO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Old Debentures. This Letter
of Transmittal is to be completed by Holders of tendered Old Debentures if
certificates representing such tendered Old Debentures are to be forwarded
herewith pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Offering Circular under
'The Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Debentures,' unless delivery
of such certificates is to be made by book-entry transfer to the Exchange
Agent's account maintained by DTC through ATOP. For a Holder to properly tender
Old Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer, a properly completed and duly
executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal, including the Substitute Form W-9,
and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal must be received
by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein, and either (i)
certificates for tendered Old Debentures must be received by the Exchange Agent
at its address set forth herein, or (ii) such tendered Old Debentures must be
transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described in the
Offering Circular under the caption 'The Exchange Offer -- Procedures for
Tendering' (and a confirmation of such transfer must be received by the Exchange
Agent) in each case prior to Expiration Date. The method of delivery of
certificates for tendered Old Debentures, this Letter of Transmittal and all
other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of
the tendering Holder and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually
received by the Exchange Agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with
return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Instead of delivery
by mail, it is recommended that the Holder use an overnight or hand delivery
service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely
delivery. No Letter of Transmittal or certificates for Old Debentures should be
sent to the Company. Neither the Company nor the Exchange Agent is under any
obligation to notify any tendering holder of the Company's acceptance of
tendered Old Debentures prior to the closing of the Exchange Offer. New
Debentures will be delivered only in book-entry form through DTC and only to the
DTC account of the tendering Holder or the tendering Holder's Custodian.
Accordingly, a Holder who tenders Old Debentures must specify in Box 5 the DTC
Participant name and number to which the New Debentures should be delivered.
2. Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. If a Holder desires to tender Old
Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (a) certificates representing such
tendered Old Debentures are not immediately available, (b) time will not permit
such Holder('s) Letter of Transmittal, certificates representing such tendered
Old Debentures and all other required documents to reach the Exchange Agent
prior to the Expiration Date, or (c) the procedures for book-entry transfer
cannot be completed prior to the Expiration Date, such Holder may tender Old
Debentures pursuant to the procedures set forth below and in the Offering
Circular under 'The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures' (including
the completion of Box 3 above). Pursuant to such procedures, (i) the tender must
be made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below), (ii) a
properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,
substantially in the form provided by the Company herewith, or an Agent's
Message with respect to a guaranteed delivery that is accepted by the Company,
must be received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, and
(iii) the certificates for the tendered Old Debentures, in proper form for
transfer (or a Book-Entry Confirmation of the transfer of such tendered Old
Debentures to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC as described in the Offering
Circular), together with a Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile
thereof) properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature
guarantees and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal or a
properly transmitted Agent's Message, must be received by the Exchange Agent
within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery. Any Holder who wishes to tender Old Debentures pursuant to
the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange
Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relating to such tendered Old
Debentures prior to the Expiration Date. Failure to complete the guaranteed
delivery procedures outlined above will not, of itself, affect the validity or
effect a revocation of any Letter of Transmittal form properly completed and
executed by an Eligible Holder who attempted to use the guaranteed delivery
process.
3. Beneficial Owner Instructions to Holders. Only a Holder in whose name
Old Debentures are registered on the books of the registrar (or the legal
representative or attorney-in-fact of such
7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
registered holder) or whose name appears on a DTC security position listing as a
holder of Old Debentures may execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal. Any
Beneficial Owner of Old Debentures who is not the Holder must arrange promptly
with the Holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal on his or her
behalf.
4. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Old Debentures will be accepted only in
denominations of $1,000 or in integral multiples thereof. If less than the
entire principal amount of Old Debentures held by the Holder is tendered, the
Holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the column labeled 'Total
Principal Amount of Old Debentures Tendered' of the box entitled 'Description of
Old Debentures Tendered' (see Box 1) above. The entire principal amount of Old
Debentures delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered
unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of all Old Debentures
held by the Holder is not tendered, then new certificates representing the Old
Debentures for the principal amount of Old Debentures not tendered will be sent
to the Holder at its registered address, unless a different address is provided
in Box 2 above entitled 'Special Delivery Instructions' on this Letter of
Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
5. Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements;
Guarantee of Signatures. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the
Holder(s) of the tendered Old Debentures, the signature must correspond with the
name(s) as written on the face of the tendered Old Debentures without
alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the tendered Old
Debentures are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must
sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any tendered Old Debentures are held in
different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many
separate copies of the Letter of Transmittal as there are different names in
which such tendered Old Debentures are held.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the Holder(s) of Old Debentures,
and New Debentures issued in exchange therefor are to be issued (and any
untendered principal amount of Old Debentures is to be reissued) in the name of
the Holder(s), then such Holder(s) need not and should not endorse any Old
Debentures, nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case, such Holder(s)
must either properly endorse the tendered Old Debentures or transmit a properly
completed separate bond power with this Letter of Transmittal with the
signature(s) on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a Medallion
Signature Guarantor (as defined below).
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the
Holder(s) of any tendered Old Debentures, such tendered Old Debentures must be
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in each case, signed as the
name(s) of the Holder(s) appear(s) on the tendered Old Debentures, with the
signature(s) on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a Medallion
Signature Guarantor.
If this Letter of Transmittal or any tendered Old Debentures or bond powers
are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorney-in-fact,
officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by the
Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must
be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a recognized
participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York
Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion
Program (each a 'Medallion Signature Guarantor'), unless the Old Debentures are
tendered (i) by the Holder of the Old Debentures (or by a participant in DTC
whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of such Old
Debentures) who has not completed Box 2 ('Special Delivery Instructions') on
this Letter of Transmittal, or (ii) for the account of a member firm of a
registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ('NASD') or a commercial bank or trust company having
an office or correspondent in the United States (each of the foregoing being
referred to as an 'Eligible Institution'). If the tendered Old Debentures are
registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of
Transmittal or if Old Debentures not tendered are to be returned to a person
other than the Holder, then the signature on this Letter of Transmittal
accompanying the tendered Old Debentures
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor as described above.
Beneficial Owners whose tendered Old Debentures are registered in the name of a
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact
such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee if they
desire to tender such Old Debentures.
6. Special Delivery Instructions. Holders should indicate in Box 2
('Special Delivery Instructions') the name and address to which the New
Debentures and/or substitute Old Debentures for principal amounts not tendered
or not accepted for exchange are to be sent, if different from the name and
address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of
issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification or social security
number of the person named must also be indicated.
7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any,
applicable to the exchange of Old Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If,
however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and
exchange of Old Debentures pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of
any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the Holder or on any other person)
will be payable by the Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes
or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the
amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such Holder.
It will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the
tendered Old Debentures listed in this Letter of Transmittal.
8. Tax Identification Number. Federal income tax law requires that the
Holder(s) of any Old Debentures which are accepted for exchange must provide the
Exchange Agent (as payor) with its correct taxpayer identification number
('TIN'), which, in the case of a Holder who is an individual, is his or her
social security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct
TIN, the Holder may be subject to backup withholding and a $50 penalty imposed
by the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS'). (If withholding results in an
over-payment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.) Certain Holders (including,
among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject
to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed
'Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9' for additional instructions.
To prevent backup withholding, each Holder of tendered Old Debentures must
provide such Holder's correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set
forth herein, certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Holder
is awaiting a TIN), and that (i) the Holder has not been notified by the IRS
that such Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to
report all interest or dividends or (ii) if previously so notified, the IRS has
notified the Holder that such Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding.
If the tendered Old Debentures are registered in more than one name or are not
in the name of the actual owner, consult the 'Guidelines for Certification of
Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9' for information on which
TIN to report.
The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to take whatever
steps are necessary to comply with the Company's obligation regarding backup
withholding.
9. Validity of Tenders. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old
Debentures will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which
determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the right to
reject any and all Old Debentures not validly tendered or any Old Debentures the
Company's acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Company or its
counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any
conditions of the Exchange Offer or defects or irregularities in tenders of Old
Debentures as to any ineligibility of any Holder who seeks to tender Old
Debentures in the Exchange Offer. The interpretation of the terms and conditions
of the Exchange Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions
hereto) by the Company shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived,
any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Debentures must
be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Neither the Company,
the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give
notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old
Debentures, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such
notification. Tenders of Old Debentures will not be deemed to have been made
until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old
Debentures received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or
waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the Holders, unless otherwise
provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the
Expiration Date.
10. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to amend,
waive or modify any of the conditions in the Exchange Offer in the case of any
Old Debentures.
11. No Conditional Tender. No alternative, conditional, irregular or
contingent tender of Old Debentures or transmittal of this Letter of Transmittal
will be accepted.
12. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Debentures. Any Holder whose
tendered Old Debentures have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should
contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated herein for further
instructions.
13. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests
for assistance and requests for additional copies of the Offering Circular or
this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent or the
Information Agent at the addresses and telephone numbers indicated herein.
Holders may also contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer.
14. Acceptance of Tendered Old Debentures and Issuance of New Debentures;
Return of Old Debentures. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange
Offer, the Company will accept for exchange all validly tendered Old Debentures
as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and will issue New Debentures
therefor on the fifth business day following the Expiration Date. For purposes
of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted tendered Old
Debentures when, as and if the Company has given written or oral notice
(immediately followed in writing) thereof to the Exchange Agent. If any tendered
Old Debentures are not exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer for any reason,
such unexchanged Old Debentures will be returned, without expense, to the
undersigned at the address shown in Box 1 or at a different address as may be
indicated in Box 2 'Special Delivery Instructions'.
15. Withdrawal. Tenders may be withdrawn only pursuant to the procedures
set forth in the Offering Circular under the caption 'The Exchange
Offer -- Withdrawal Rights'.
