ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         As previously reported, the Company entered into a six-year $1.275
billion multicurrency credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a
consortium of international banks in December 1996.  The Credit Agreement
provided the Company with a revolving component in the aggregate amount of up
to $725.0 million, and a term loan component of $550.0 million.  In December
1997, the revolving component was reduced by $115.0 million to $610.0 million
bringing the full capacity of the Credit Agreement to $1.160 billion.  The
Credit Agreement is secured and guaranteed by certain of the company's
subsidiaries and a covenant that the Company will not pledge its assets except
as specifically permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Credit
Agreement contains negative and affirmative covenants and agreements which
place restrictions on the Company regarding disposition of assets, capital
expenditures, additional indebtedness, permitted liens and payment of
dividends, as well as requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
The adjustable interest rate on the Credit Agreement is, at the option of the
Company, either: (i) the applicable InterBank Offered Rate plus a tiered margin
based on leverage for the periods of one, two, three or six months or (ii) an
alternative base rate, consisting of the higher of the lead bank's prime rate
or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%.  The Credit Agreement was first amended on
December 5, 1997, primarily to provide for the adjustment of certain
definitions set forth therein.

         On July 28, 1998, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to its
Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment").  The Second Amendment principally
provides for; (i) the revision to certain definitions; (ii) an adjustment to
certain financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company; (iii) an
increase in the tiered margin applied to the Interbank Offered Rate under the
Credit Agreement; (iv) an increase in the applicable commitment fee paid by the
Company for the maintenance of the Credit Agreement; and (v) the inclusion of
certain additional covenants related to the year 2000 issue.  A copy of the
Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement is included with this Report as
Exhibit 4.10 and any description or summary set forth in this Report is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement as amended.

                  plus interest expense (including amounts attributable to

                  (g) A new Section 6.23 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement
         which Section shall read as follows:

                  areas within its and each of its Subsidiaries' business and
                  operations (including those affected by information received

                  Problem on a timely basis, and (iii) to date, implemented that
                  plan substantially in accordance with that timetable. Such

                  (including those affected by information received from its
                  suppliers and vendors) that are material to its or any of its
                  Subsidiaries' business and operations will on a timely basis
                  be Year 2000 Compliant, except to the extent that a failure to
                  do so could not reasonably be expected to have Material
                  Adverse Effect."

         "60 days" appearing in the first line thereof and inserting in lieu

                  Company discovers or determines that any computer application
                  (including those affected by information received from its
                  suppliers and vendors) that is material to its or any of its
                  Subsidiaries' business and operations will not be Year 2000
                  Compliant on a timely basis, except to the extent that such
                  failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
                  Adverse Effect."

                  (k) Clause (i) of Section 8.3 is hereby amended in its
         entirety so that as amended it shall read as follows:
