            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


  1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements of Buckeye
  Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), which are unaudited except for the Balance
  Sheet as of December 31, 1993, which is derived from audited financial
  statements, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
  Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 1994 and the results of
  operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and
  1993.  Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 1993 have
  been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
  Commission, the financial statements do not include all  of the information
  and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance
  with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements
  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
  notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
  year ended December 31, 1993.


  2.  CONTINGENCIES

  The Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnerships"), in the
  ordinary course of business, are involved in various claims and legal
  proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance.  The
  General Partner is unable to predict the timing or outcome of these claims and
  proceedings.  Although it is possible that one or more of these claims or
  proceedings, if adversely determined, could, depending on the relative amounts
  involved, have a material effect on the Partnership's results of operations
  for a future period, the General Partner does not believe that their outcome
  will have a material effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial
  condition.

  Environmental

  Certain Operating Partnerships (or their predecessors) have been named as a
  defendant in lawsuits or have been notified by federal or state authorities
  that they are a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under federal laws or a
  respondent under state laws relating to the generation, disposal, or release
  of hazardous substances into the environment.  These proceedings generally
  relate to potential liability for clean-up costs.  The total potential
  remediation costs relating to these clean-up sites cannot be reasonably
  estimated.  With respect to each site, however, the Operating Partnership
  involved is one of several or as many as several hundred PRPs that would share
  in the total costs of clean-up under the principle of joint and several
  liability.  The General Partner believes that the generation, handling and
  disposal of hazardous substances have been in material compliance with
  applicable environmental and regulatory requirements.  Additional claims for
  the cost of cleaning up releases of hazardous substances and for damage to the
  environment resulting from the activities of the Operating Partnerships or
  their predecessors may be asserted in the future under various federal and
  state laws.  Although the Partnership has made a provision for certain legal
  expenses relating to these matters, the General Partner is unable to determine
  the timing or outcome of any  pending proceedings or of any future claims and
  proceedings.

  Guaranteed Investment Contract

  The Buckeye Pipe Line Company Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Plan") holds a
  guaranteed investment contract ("GIC") issued by Executive Life Insurance
  Company ("Executive Life"), which entered conservatorship proceedings in the
  State of California in April 1991. The GIC was purchased in July 1989, with an
  initial principal investment of $7.4 million earning interest at an effective
  rate per annum of 8.98 percent through June 30, 1992. As a result of the
  conservatorship proceedings, no payment of principal or interest was made on
  the maturity date. A Plan of Rehabilitation was approved by the Superior Court
  of the State of California, and the Rehabilitation Plan was consummated on
  September 3, 1993. Various policy holders and creditors have, however,
  appealed certain aspects of the Plan of Rehabilitation, including the priority
  status of entities such as the Plan which purchased GICs subsequent to January
  1, 1989. Pursuant to the Plan of Rehabilitation, the Plan will receive an
  interest only contract from Aurora National Life Assurance Company in
  substitution for its Executive Life GIC. The contract provides for semi-annual
  interest payments through the date of maturity of the contract which will be
  September 1998. In addition, the Plan is to receive certain additional cash
  payments, the amounts of which cannot be accurately estimated at this time,
  over the next five years pursuant to the Plan of Rehabilitation. The timing
  and amount of payment with respect to the GIC is dependent upon the outcome of
  the pending appeals as well as clarification of various provisions of the
  Rehabilitation Plan. In May 1991, the General Partner, in order to safeguard
  the basic retirement and savings benefits of its employees, announced its
  intention to enter an arrangement with the Plan that would guarantee that the
  Plan would receive at least its initial principal investment of $7.4 million
  plus interest at an effective rate per annum of 5 percent from July 1, 1989.
  The General Partner intends to effectuate its commitment through an agreement
  with the Plan that would provide, under certain circumstances and subject to
  Department of Labor approval, for its purchase of the Plan's rights with
  respect to the GIC. The costs and expenses of the General Partner's employee
  benefit plans are reimbursable by the Partnership under the applicable limited
  partnership and management agreements. The General Partner believes that an
  adequate provision has been made for costs which may be incurred by the
  Partnership in connection with the above mentioned guarantee.


  3.  EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

  In March 1994, Buckeye Pipe Line Company, L.P. ("Buckeye") entered into an
  agreement to issue $15 million of additional First Mortgage Notes, Series N,
  bearing interest at a rate of 7.93 percent.  The proceeds from the issuance of
  these First Mortgage Notes, plus additional amounts approximating $1.6
  million, were used to purchase U.S. Government securities.  These securities
  were deposited into an irrevocable trust to complete a partial in-substance
  defeasance of Buckeye's 9.72 percent, Series I, First Mortgage Notes.  The
  funds in the trust will be used solely to satisfy the interest due and
  principal in the amount of $15 million due at maturity in December 1996.
  Accordingly, such U.S. Government securities and $15 million of the 9.72
  percent, Series I, First Mortgage Notes have been excluded from the March 31,
  1994 balance sheet.  The debt extinguishment resulted in an extraordinary
  charge of $1,569,000.

</TABLE>

  Net income per Unit is based on 12,121,212 outstanding Units, which include
  121,212 General Partnership Units.


  5.  CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

  The Partnership will generally make quarterly cash distributions of
  substantially all of its available cash, generally defined as consolidated
  cash receipts less consolidated cash expenditures and such retentions for
  working capital, anticipated cash expenditures and contingencies as the
  General Partner deems appropriate or as are required by the terms of the
  Mortgage Note Indenture.

  The Partnership has declared a cash distribution of $0.70 per unit payable on
  May 31, 1994 to unitholders of record on May 6, 1994.  The total distribution
  will amount to approximately $8,485,000.

    Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
             ---------------------------------------------------------------
             Results of Operations
             ---------------------

  Amounts in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and
  results of operations relate to continuing operations unless otherwise
  indicated.


  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  ---------------------

  First Quarter
  -------------

  Revenue for the first quarter 1994 was $45.6 million, $4.2 million or 10.1
  percent greater than revenue of $41.4 million for the first quarter 1993.
  Volume for the first quarter 1994 was 1,042,200 barrels per day, 77,900
  barrels per day or 8.1 percent greater than volume of 964,300 barrels per day
  for the first quarter 1993.  Greater revenue during the first quarter 1994
  related primarily to increased distillate and gasoline deliveries.  Distillate
  volume increased 27 percent over first quarter last year in response to higher
  demand for heating fuel during severe weather conditions in most of the
  Partnership's service area.  Gasoline volume increased approximately 3
  percent, compared to the first quarter 1993, due to restricted barge
  transportation during the severe cold period, reduced Canadian imports to
  upstate New York and continued operating problems in the Midwest refining
  industry that required transportation of gasoline into the region.

  Costs and expenses for the first quarter 1994 were $27.4 million, $1.7 million
  or 6.6 percent greater than costs and expenses of $25.7 million for the first
  quarter 1993.  Increased expenses during the first quarter 1994 included
  payroll, power costs, maintenance services and supplies.  Much of this expense
  increase was due to transportation of additional volume.

  Other income (expenses), which is the net of non-operating income and
  expenses, was a net expense of $6.4 million for the first quarter of each of
  the years 1994 and 1993.  Substantially all of other income (expenses) is
  related to interest expense.  Such interest expense for the first quarter 1994
  was effected by a lower weighted average cost of debt and costs associated
  with the issuance of an additional $15,000,000 in First Mortgage Notes and the
  concurrent partial in-substance defeasance of previously issued First Mortgage
  Notes.  See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.


  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  -------------------------------

  The Partnership's financial condition at March 31, 1994 is highlighted in the
  following comparative summary:

 Book value (per Unit)                   $19.42      $19.28
</TABLE>

  The Partnership's cash flow from operations is generally sufficient to meet
  current working capital requirements.  In addition, the Partnership maintains
  $26.0 million in short-term credit facilities under which there are no current
  outstanding borrowings.


                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  Cash Provided by Operations
  ---------------------------

  For the three months ended March 31, 1994, cash provided by operations of
  $13.2 million was derived principally from income from continuing operations
  of $11.8 million, depreciation of $2.8 million and operating working capital
  changes of $0.1 million.  Remaining net cash uses, which amounted to $1.5
  million, were largely related to an extraordinary charge on the early
  extinguishment of debt.  See "Debt Obligation and Credit Facilities" below.

  For the three months ended March 31, 1993, cash provided by operations was
  $16.7 million principally from income from continuing operations of $9.3
  million, depreciation of $2.8 million, operating working capital changes of
  $3.7 million and $0.9 million from increases in other non-current liabilities.
  Changes in operating working capital were due to a decrease in trade
  receivables and an increase in accrued and other current liabilities.

  Debt Obligation and Credit Facilities
  -------------------------------------

  At March 31, 1994, the Partnership had $236.0 million in outstanding current
  and long-term debt representing the First Mortgage Notes of Buckeye.  The
  First Mortgage Notes are collateralized by substantially all of Buckeye's
  property, plant and equipment.  The $236.0 million of debt outstanding at
  March 31, 1994 includes $15 million of additional First Mortgage Notes, Series
  N, bearing interest at a rate of 7.93 percent which were issued on April 11,
  1994 in accordance with an agreement entered into in March 1994.  Such current
  and long-term debt excludes $15 million of 9.72 percent First Mortgage Notes,
  Series I, due December 1996, which were defeased in-substance with the
  proceeds of the Series N First Mortgage Notes.  In addition, during the first
  three months of 1994, Buckeye irrevocably deposited $4.0 million with the
  trustee to be applied to payment of the 9.33 percent First Mortgage Notes,
  Series G, due December 1994.  Comparable deposits during the first three
  months 1993 aggregated $4.4 million and were applied to payment of the 9.16
  percent First Mortgage Notes, Series F, due December 1993.

  The indenture pursuant to which the First Mortgage Notes were issued was
  amended in March 1994 by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture to permit Buckeye to
  issue additional First Mortgage Notes under certain circumstances; provided
  that the aggregate principal amount of First Mortgage Notes outstanding after
  such issuance does not exceed $275 million.

  The Partnership maintains a $15 million unsecured revolving credit facility
  with a commercial bank.  This facility, which has options to extend borrowings
  through September 1999, is available to the Partnership for general purposes,
  including capital expenditures and working capital.  In addition, Buckeye has
  a $10 million short-term line of credit secured by accounts receivable.
  Laurel Pipe Line Company, L.P. has an unsecured $1 million line of credit.  At
  March 31, 1994, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

  At March 31, 1994, the ratio of total debt to total capital was 50 percent.
  For purposes of the calculation of this ratio, total capital consists of
  current and long-term debt, minority interests in subsidiaries and partners'
  capital.

  Capital Expenditures
  --------------------

  At March 31, 1994, approximately 92 percent of total consolidated assets
  consisted of property, plant and equipment.

  Capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 1994 totaled $1.8
  million compared to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 1993.
  During both periods, capital expenditures were paid from internally generated
  funds.

                          Part II - Other Information



  Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
  --------------------------


  For information concerning the Partnership's legal proceedings, see Item 3 of
  the Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.

  Item 5.  Other Information (Rate Regulation Matters)
  ----------------------------------------------------


  Buckeye's "light-handed" rate regulation program was subject to review by
  the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") upon the expiration of its
  three-year term on March 24, 1994. On February 22, 1994, Buckeye filed a
  tariff seeking to continue its rate regulation program on a permanent basis.
  On March 24, 1994, FERC issued an Order accepting Buckeye's tariff rate
  filing. The Order provided, however, that the acceptance of the tariff would
  not relieve Buckeye from compliance with the requirements of a new rule
  issued by FERC in October, 1993, pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
  The new rule, which is subject to pending petitions for rehearing, is
  scheduled to become effective on January 1, 1995. At this time, Buckeye is
  considering applying for a waiver from the requirements of the rule, or
  otherwise seeking approval from FERC to continue its rate regulation program
  beyond January 1, 1995. (For further information concerning tariff regulation
  matters affecting the Partnership, see the Partnership's Form 10-K for the
  fiscal year ending December 31, 1993.)

               with Debt prior to January 1, 1994 (the 1993 Notes being deemed,

                    (a)  Notes (or any portion thereof) cancelled at or prior to
               the particular time,

                    (b)  Notes (or such portion thereof) for the payment or

<PAGE>
 
          In the event that less than all of a series of Notes has been
          defeased, then the principal amount of each Note of such series deemed
          to be Outstanding for purposes of this Indenture shall be adjusted to

          against all Notes of such series.

          Holders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
          Outstanding at the time of such acquisition.

               (f)  The definition of the term "Reinvestment Yield" set forth in
Article One of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               "Reinvestment Yield" shall mean, with respect to the Called
          Principal of any 1986 Note, the yield to maturity implied by the
          Treasury Constant Maturity Series yields reported (for the latest day
          for which such yields shall have been so reported at the commencement
          of business on the Business Day next preceding the Settlement Date
          with respect to such Called Principal or, in the case of a redemption
          pursuant to (S) 2.12(b), the Business Day next preceding the date of

          (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice) of such
          Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield shall
          be determined (a) by calculating the remaining weighted average life
          to final maturity of such Called Principal

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
          rounded to the nearest quarter-year and (b) if necessary, by

          a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
          Principal as of such Settlement Date, or if such yields shall not be
          reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time shall
          not be ascertainable, (ii) the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
          yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields shall have
          been so reported as of the Business Day next preceding the Settlement
          Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve
          Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor
          publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a
          constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
          Principal as of such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield shall be
          determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill
          quotations to bond-equivalent yield in accordance with accepted
          financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between yields
          reported for various maturities.

Article One of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               "Settlement Date" shall mean, with respect to the Called

          be redeemed pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or is declared to
          be immediately due and payable pursuant to Article Eight of this
          Indenture.

               (h)  The definition of the term "Subsidiary" set forth in Article
One of the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               "Subsidiary" shall mean (a) a partnership in which the Company
          holds, directly or through Subsidiaries, all the limited partnership
          interest and substantially all the partnership interest or (b) a
          corporation or

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
          other business entity in which the Company holds, directly or through
          Subsidiaries, substantially all the shares or other interests that
          represent the common equity and the holders of which have the right to
          elect substantially all the directors of such entity, and (b) all the
          assets of which (other than assets of the character of Excepted
          Property) are, directly or through a Subsidiary, subject to the Lien
          of this Indenture; provided that the acquisition of such entity by the
          Company, directly or through Subsidiaries, shall have been approved by
          the Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of
          the Notes Outstanding at the time of such acquisition.

          2.   Amendments to Article Three of the Indenture.

               (a)  Section 3.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

               (S) 3.01.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be
          Outstanding under this Indenture at any time (after giving effect to
          the authentication and delivery of Additional Notes the authentication
          and delivery of which are being requested and the redemption or
          defeasance of any Notes redeemed or defeased out of the proceeds of
          such Additional Notes) is limited to $275,000,000.  This Indenture
          shall be and constitute a continuing lien to secure the full and final
          payment of the principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on all
          Notes which may, from time to time, be executed, authenticated and
          delivered hereunder.*  Except as otherwise herein expressly provided,
          all Notes issued hereunder shall in all respects be equally and
          ratably secured hereby without preference, priority or distinction, as
          to lien or otherwise, on account of the actual time or times of the
          authentication and delivery or maturity of the Notes and or any of
          them, so that all Notes at any time Outstanding hereunder shall have
          the same right, lien and preference under and by virtue of this
          Indenture, and shall be equally secured hereby, with like effect as if
          they had all been executed, authenticated and delivered simultaneously
          on the date hereof, whether the same or any of them shall actually be
          sold or disposed of at such date, or whether they, or any of them,
          shall be sold or disposed of at some future date, or whether they, or
          any of them, shall have been authorized to be authenticated and
          delivered under (S) 3.02, or may be authorized to be authenticated and
          delivered hereafter pursuant to other provisions of this Indenture.

          --------------------
          *    This Indenture, insofar as it constitutes a lien on real property
               located in any jurisdiction in which it cannot secure Additional
               Notes until a Supplemental Indenture in respect thereof shall
               have been filed, does not purport to secure Additional Notes
               unless and until a Supplemental Indenture with respect to such
               Additional Notes is duly recorded as may be required by the law
               of such jurisdiction.

               (b)  Section 3.03(a) of the Indenture is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

               (a)  A Certified Resolution authorizing the execution and
          requesting the authentication and delivery of the Additional Notes
          applied for in the principal amount therein specified, designating the
          series of such Notes, as created by the terms of an Indenture
          Supplemental hereto in which are set out the terms and provisions of
          such series of Notes, the form thereof, and such other provisions
          applicable to such Notes as the Company may choose; provided that
          nothing contained in such Supplemental Indenture shall be inconsistent
          with any provision of this Indenture, unless the Required Holders of
          the Notes then Outstanding shall approve, and naming the officer or
          officers of the General Partner to whom or upon whose order such Notes
          shall be delivered.

entirety to read as follows:

               (b)  An Officers' Certificate, dated as of the date of such

               for authentication and delivery of Additional Notes is made, is
               equal to not less than 1.25 times the maximum amount of principal
               and interest required to be paid on a pro forma basis for the

          3.03(f)(2) (relating to the purpose for which Additional Notes will be
          issued) for up to twelve months after the date such Notes are issued.
          Once the Company subsequently provides such certifications, the
          proceeds of the issuance of such Additional Notes shall be applied,
          held and disbursed subject to the provisions of (S) 3.03(f)(2) and (S)
          3.03(f)(3), as appropriate.  If the Company does not provide the

          deemed to have been issued for general Company purposes.

               (f)  Section 4.16 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

               (S) 4.16.  The Company will deposit with the Trustee, on or
          before the 14th day of each month, beginning January 14, 1987 (each
          such day being herein called a "Deposit Date"), an amount, net of any
          credit provided for in Section 7.02, equal to (i) one-twelfth of the
          aggregate of the mandatory payments of principal and interest due in
          the calendar year in which the Deposit Date occurs on the Notes
          outstanding at the beginning of such calendar year plus (ii) from and
          after each issuance of Additional Notes during such calendar year an
          amount equal to the aggregate of the mandatory payments of principal
          and interest due during such calendar year on such Additional Notes
          divided by the number of Deposit Dates remaining in such calendar year
          at the date of issue thereof and less, (iii) any amounts it has
          directed the Trustee to apply to the payments of interest and
          principal on the Notes during such calendar year out of funds held by
          the Trustee pursuant to (S) 7.01 and 7.02 and legally available
          therefor (the aggregate of such amounts to be deposited on each
          Deposit Date being herein called the "Deposit Amount").  Commencing
          January 1, 1994 (the 1993 Notes being deemed, for purposes of this (S)
          4.16, to have been issued on December 31, 1993), no Deposit Amount
          shall

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
          be deemed to be required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.16, or
          for the purpose of clause (iv) of the definition of Net Cash Available
          to Partners in respect of any defeased or redeemed Notes (or portion
          thereof) to the extent that the proceeds of (x) Debt incurred by the
          Company (other than Debt which has been incurred for the purpose, in
          accordance with (S) 3.03(f)(1) hereof, of funding the cost of
          completed Capital Improvements) or (y) additional capital
          contributions to the Company, have been used to defease or redeem, in
          accordance with this Indenture, such Notes (or portion thereof).  For
          purposes of this Section 4.16, any subsequent use of the proceeds of
          Debt which has been incurred for the purpose of funding the cost of
          completed Capital Improvements shall be deemed to be a use funded out
          of Net Cash Available from Operations.  For the purpose of calculating
          the Deposit Amount, the interest rate for the balance of the year on
          Notes which may bear interest at a variable rate is deemed to be fixed
          at the higher of (x) the average rate actually experienced during the
          calendar year to the Business Day preceding the Deposit Date, or (y)
          the rate actually in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding
          the Deposit Date.  The Company will deposit with the Trustee, on or
          before the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which any
          Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Article Five of this Indenture,
          the aggregate amount of principal of and interest (and premium, if
          any) due and payable on, such Notes upon the redemption thereof less
          any amounts it has directed the Trustee to apply to such redemption
          out of funds held by the Trustee and legally available therefor.

               (g)  Section 4.17 of the Indenture is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

               (S) 4.17  Except to the extent provided to the contrary in a
          Supplemental Indenture relating to particular series of Additional
          Notes, the Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries and Owned
          Entities to, so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, declare, or
          otherwise authorize, or make any payment or distribution of property,
          other assets or cash in respect of partnership interests to the
          Company's partners, except for the distribution to its partners on
          December 23, 1986 of $300,000,000 plus any cash on hand on December
          23, 1986 (which shall not be deemed to be a distribution to partners
          for the purpose of this (S) 4.17) and except that, so long as there
          shall not, on the date of any such distribution, occur or be
          continuing any Default or Event of Default, the Company may, in
          addition, make cash distributions to its

                                      -14-

          partners from time to time; provided that, at the time of declaration
          of each such distribution, which shall not precede the date of payment
          by more than 45 days (and after giving effect to such distribution),
          the aggregate amount of all such distributions shall not exceed the
          Net Cash Available to Partners at such time.

          4.   Amendments to Article Six of the Indenture.  Section 6.06 of the
               ------------------------------------------                      
Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               (S) 6.06.  The Trustee shall not be required under any of the
          provisions of this Article Six to release any part of the Mortgaged
          Property from the Lien hereof at any time when the Company shall be in
          Default hereunder, but notwithstanding any such Default the Trustee
          may release from the Lien hereof any part of the Mortgaged Property,
          upon compliance by the Company with the other conditions specified in
          this Article Six in respect hereof, if the Trustee in its discretion
          shall deem such release to be in the best interest of the Noteholders
          or shall have the consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the
          Outstanding principal amount of the Notes.  In case the Trust Estate
          shall be in the possession of one or more receivers lawfully appointed
          or of a trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including
          a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the Federal
          bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or applicable State
          laws) or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, the powers
          confirmed by this Article Six on the Company may be exercised by such
          receivers, trustees or assignees, with the approval of the Trustee,
          regardless of whether or not the Company is in Default hereunder, and
          in such event a writing signed by such receivers, trustees or
          assignees, may be received by the Trustee in lieu of any Certified
          Resolution required by the provisions of this Article Six, and such
          receivers, trustees or assignees may make any certificate required by
          the provisions of this Article Six, to be made by an officer or
          officers of the Company.  If the Trustee or the Trustees hereunder
          shall be in possession of the Trust Estate under any provisions of
          this Indenture, then all such powers by this Article Six conferred
          upon the Company may be exercised by the Trustee or the Trustees in
          its or their discretion.

          5.   This Fourth Supplement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall

          the remaining weighted average life to final maturity (calculated in
          accordance with accepted financial practice) of such Called Principal
          as of such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield shall be determined

          Principal as of such Settlement Date, or if such yields shall not be
          reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time shall
          not be ascertainable, (ii) the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
          yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields shall have
          been so reported as of the Business Day next preceding the Settlement
          Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve
          Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor
          publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a
          constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
          Principal as of such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield shall be
          determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill
          quotations to bond-equivalent yield in accordance with accepted
          financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between yields
          reported for various maturities.

          thereon as of (including interest due on) the Settlement Date with
          respect to such Called Principal.  With respect to any Series K Note

Indenture is hereby amended by adding a new paragraph to such Section as its
third paragraph to read as follows:

               With respect to 1993 Notes or 1994 Notes, the Company's notice of
          redemption shall also specify whether the optional redemption is being
          made pursuant to (S)2.13(b) or (S)2.13(c) hereof (in the case of the
          1993 Notes), or pursuant to (S) 2.14(b) or 2.14(c) hereof (in the case
          of the 1994 Notes).  Once notice of redemption has been given as
          hereinabove provided, the principal amount of the Notes specified in
          such notice, together with (to the extent not prohibited by law) the
          Yield-Maintenance Premium (if any) with respect thereto shall become
          due and payable on the redemption date and, as to principal, applied
          to required payments thereon in the inverse order of their scheduled
          due dates.

          5.   This Fifth Supplement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
