Report on Review by Independent Accountants ------------------------------------------- To the Board of Directors of AlliedSignal Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AlliedSignal Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995, and the consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and of cash flows for the six- month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. This financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, of retained earnings, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 1, 1995 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1994, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- Second Quarter 1995 Compared with Second Quarter 1994 ----------------------------------------------------- Net sales in the second quarter of 1995 totaled $3.6 billion, an increase of $443 million, or 14%, compared with the second quarter of last year. Of this increase, $182 million reflects the consolidation of recent acquisitions and the impact of dispositions, $175 million was due to higher sales volumes, $56 million was the result of favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the automotive segment and $30 million was due to higher prices in the engineered materials segment. Automotive's sales increased $228 million, or 18%, engineered materials was $116 million, or 14%, higher and aerospace had a $99 million, or 9%, gain. Automotive's sales of braking systems in North America and Europe grew substantially. Sales of safety restraint systems, turbochargers, aftermarket products in Europe and truck brake systems were also strong. Engineered materials' sales of fibers, particularly industrial polyester and products of the nylon system, and performance materials were substantially higher. Among the stronger performing products in performance materials were specialty chemicals, food packaging films and advanced microelectronics. Sales of laminate systems, environmental catalysts, engineering plastics and carbon materials were also strong. Aerospace's improved sales reflect the acquisition of the Lycoming turbine engine business in October 1994 and continued strong demand for safety-related avionics systems, such as windshear detection, ground proximity warning and collision avoidance systems. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased from 10.9% in the second quarter of 1994 to 10.3% in 1995. Expenses increased by $28 million, or 8%, reflecting in part the impact of acquisitions. Income from operations of $354 million increased by $54 million, or 18%, compared with the second quarter of last year. The Company's operating margin for the second quarter of 1995 was 9.8% compared with 9.4% for the same period last year. Aerospace's operating income improved by 25%, engineered materials' by 17% and automotive's by 9%. Operating expense for corporate increased by $2 million. See the discussion of net income below for information by segment. Equity in income of affiliated companies of $36 million increased by $6 million, or 20%, compared with last year, mainly because of improved joint venture earnings for Paxon high-density polyethylene and UOP process technology. Other income (expense) of $1 million was favorable by $4 million compared with last year's second quarter, reflecting the sale of an investment, offset somewhat by higher minority interest and foreign exchange hedging costs. Interest and other financial charges of $46 million increased by $8 million, or 21%, from 1994's second quarter, primarily due to higher average interest rates. - 8 -

The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1995 was 34.4% compared with 32.3% in 1994. The increase is primarily due to growth in both domestic and foreign earnings that are subject to the statutory rate. Aerospace's net income improved to $72 million from $61 million, an increase of 18% compared with the same quarter last year. This earnings increase resulted from faster-than-anticipated cost synergies from the Lycoming acquisition and increased demand for proprietary flight safety systems in the commercial, regional and business aircraft markets, offset somewhat by lower earnings for equipment systems. Automotive's net income rose to $65 million from $60 million, an increase of 8% compared with the same quarter last year. Earnings were higher for turbochargers, truck brakes, aftermarket Europe and braking systems. Engineered materials' net income increased to $105 million from $87 million, an increase of 21% compared with the same quarter last year. Fibers, performance materials, laminate systems, engineering plastics, environmental catalysts and carbon materials had improved earnings. The income contribution from joint ventures was also higher. Net income in the 1995 second quarter of $227 million, or $0.80 a share, was higher than last year's net income of $196 million, or $0.69 a share, for the reasons discussed above. Six Months 1995 Compared with Six Months 1994 --------------------------------------------- Net sales in the first six months of 1995 totaled $7.0 billion, an increase of $876 million, or 14%, compared with the first six months of last year. Of this increase, $412 million was due to higher sales volumes, $319 million reflects the consolidation of recent acquisitions and the impact of dispositions, $117 million was the result of favorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the automotive segment and $28 million was due to higher prices in the engineered materials segment. Automotive's sales increased $478 million, or 20%, engineered materials was $249 million, or 16%, higher and aerospace had a $149 million, or 7%, gain. Automotive benefited from growing sales of braking systems in North America and Europe, strong worldwide sales of safety restraints and turbochargers, higher aftermarket sales primarily in Europe and expanded sales of medium and heavy truck brakes in North America. Sales volumes were higher for most engineered materials business units, including fibers, performance materials, laminate systems, environmental catalysts, fluorine products, engineering plastics and carbon materials. Aerospace's sales increased reflecting the acquisition of the Lycoming turbine engine business in October 1994 and continued strong demand for safety-related avionics systems, such as windshear detection, ground proximity warning and collision avoidance systems. This increase was somewhat offset by lower sales to the government, where comparisons were adversely affected by a one-time contract settlement in the first quarter of 1994 and, in 1995, by delays in government electronics systems' shipments. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased from 10.7% in 1994 to 10.4% in 1995. Expenses increased by $72 million, or 11%, reflecting in part the impact of acquisitions. Income from operations of $668 million increased by $98 million, or 17%, compared with last year's first six months. The Company's operating margin for - 9 -

the first six months of 1995 was 9.5%, compared with 9.2% for the same period last year. Engineered materials' operating income improved by 20%, automotive's by 17% and aerospace's by 16%. Operating expense for corporate increased by $12 million. See the discussion of net income below for information by segment. Productivity (the constant dollar basis relationship of sales to costs) of the Company's businesses improved by 5.4% compared with last year's first six months. Equity in income of affiliated companies of $85 million increased by $25 million, or 42%, compared with last year, mainly because of improved joint venture earnings for Paxon high-density polyethylene, UOP process technology and Atlantic Research hybrid inflator technology. Other income (expense) of $(18) million was unfavorable by $2 million, or 13%, compared with last year's first six months, mainly due to higher minority interest and foreign exchange hedging costs and lower dividend and interest income, somewhat offset by the sale of an investment. Interest and other financial charges of $87 million increased by $12 million, or 16%, from 1994's first six months, primarily reflecting higher average interest rates. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 1995 was 34.5% compared with 32.4% in 1994. The increase is primarily due to growth in both domestic and foreign earnings that are subject to the statutory rate. Aerospace's net income improved to $128 million from $113 million, an increase of 13% compared with the same period last year. Earnings increased for engines because of cost synergies realized from the Lycoming acquisition and commercial avionics systems due to continued strong demand for safety-related avionics systems, but were lower on sales to the government. Automotive's net income rose to $127 million from $106 million, an increase of 20% compared with the same six months of 1994. Net income was higher for braking systems, turbochargers, truck braking systems, aftermarket Europe and for filters and spark plugs. The Company continues to benefit from strong AlliedSignal content on better selling vehicles, including sport utility vehicles, minivans, the Ford Taurus and F-150 pickup trucks as well as medium and heavy trucks. Engineered materials' net income increased to $199 million from $165 million, an increase of 21% compared with the same period last year. Net income was higher for performance materials, fibers, environmental catalysts, engineering plastics, laminate systems and carbon materials. Income improved in the six month period due to volume and price increases, partly offset by higher raw material prices. There was also a substantial increase in net income from joint ventures. Net income in the first six months of 1995 of $425 million, or $1.50 a share, was substantially higher than last year's net income of $365 million, or $1.29 a share, for the reasons discussed above. - 10 -

Financial Condition ------------------- June 30, 1995 Compared with December 31, 1994 --------------------------------------------- On June 30, 1995 the Company had $575 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $508 million at year-end 1994. The current ratio at June 30, 1995 was 1.3X, compared with 1.4X at year- end 1994. On June 30, 1995 the Company's long-term debt amounted to $1,304 million, $120 million lower than at year-end 1994. Total debt of $2,009 million on June 30, 1995 was $322 million higher than at year-end, mainly reflecting an increase in commercial paper outstanding. The Company's total debt as a percent of capital increased from 34.1% at year-end to 35.4% at June 30, 1995. The Company entered into two new credit agreements (the "Five- Year" and "364-Day" Credit Agreements) dated as of June 30, 1995, with commitments aggregating $750 million. These agreements replaced a $900 million aggregate arrangement and have terms similar to the terms of the prior arrangement. The funds available under the Five-Year and 364-Day Credit Agreements may be used for any corporate purpose. During the first six months of 1995, the Company made capital expenditures of $320 million, compared with $255 million in the corresponding period in 1994. Spending for the 1995 six month period was as follows: aerospace-$63 million; automotive-$108 million; engineered materials-$133 million, and corporate-$16 million. The Company's total capital expenditures in 1995 are currently projected at about $700 million. During the first six months of 1995, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of common stock for $95 million. Common stock is repurchased to meet the expected requirements for shares issued under employee benefit plans and a shareowner dividend reinvestment plan. At June 30, 1995, the Company was authorized to repurchase 11.2 million shares of common stock. The Company intends to acquire three separate chemical businesses costing approximately $380 million. The businesses include a polyester fibers plant in Virginia, a nylon plastics and fibers plant in Germany and a specialty chemicals plant also in Germany. The Company also plans to invest about $100 million during the next three years to expand and upgrade the nylon plastics and fibers facility.

           "Voting  Stock"  means  capital  stock  issued  by  a

     directors (or persons performing similar functions) of  such
     Person,  even if the right so to vote has been suspended  by
     the happening of such a contingency.

           "Withdrawal  Liability" has the meaning  specified  in
     Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA.

           SECTION 1.02.  Computation of Time Periods.   In  this
Agreement  in the computation of periods of time from a specified
date to a later specified date, the word "from"  means "from  and

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors
thereto or agencies with similar functions) and have been adopted
by  the  Company with the agreement of its independent  certified
public  accountants, the Lenders agree to consider a  request  by
the  Company  to  amend this Agreement to take  account  of  such
changes.


                           ARTICLE II

               AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

           SECTION  2.01.   The Revolving Credit Advances.   Each
Lender  severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, to make Revolving Credit Advances to any Borrower from
time  to  time  on  any Business Day during the period  from  the
Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate  amount
(based in respect of any Revolving Credit Advance denominated  in
a  Major  Currency  on  the Equivalent in  Dollars  on  any  such
Business  Day),  not  to  exceed at  any  time  outstanding  such
Lender's  Commitment, provided that the aggregate amount  of  the
Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed used from time to time
to  the  extent of the aggregate amount (based in respect of  any
Competitive Bid Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency on  the
Equivalent  in  Dollars  at such time)  of  the  Competitive  Bid
Advances  then  outstanding and such deemed use of the  aggregate
amount  of  the Commitments shall be allocated among the  Lenders
ratably  according to their respective Commitments  (such  deemed
use   of  the  aggregate  amount  of  the  Commitments  being   a
"Competitive  Bid  Reduction").  Each Revolving Credit  Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 (or the
Equivalent thereof in any Major Currency) or an integral multiple
of  $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Major  Currency)
in  excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances
of  the  same  Type made on the same day by the  Lenders  ratably
according  to  their  respective Commitments; provided,  however,
that  if there is no unused portion of the Commitment of  one  or
more  Lenders  at  the  time  of any requested  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  such  Borrowing  shall  consist  of  Revolving  Credit
Advances  of the same Type made on the same day by the Lender  or
Lenders  who  do then have an unused portion of their Commitments
ratably  according  to  the unused portion of  such  Commitments.
Notwithstanding  anything herein to the  contrary,  no  Revolving
Credit Borrowing may be made in a Major Currency if, after giving
effect  to  the  making of such Revolving Credit  Borrowing,  the
Equivalent  in  Dollars  of the aggregate amount  of  outstanding
Revolving   Credit  Advances  denominated  in  Major  Currencies,
together  with the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate  amount
of  outstanding Competitive Bid Advances denominated  in  Foreign
Currencies, would exceed $110,000,000.  Within the limits of each
Lender's  Commitment, any Borrower may borrow under this  Section
2.01,  prepay  pursuant to Section 2.09 and reborrow  under  this
Section 2.01.

           SECTION  2.02.  Making the Revolving Credit  Advances.
(a)   Each  Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made  on  notice,
given  not later than (A) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on  the
third  Business  Day prior to the date of the proposed  Revolving
Credit  Borrowing  in  the case of a Revolving  Credit  Borrowing
consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Major
Currency,  (B)  11:00  A.M. (New York City  time)  on  the  third
Business  Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting
of  Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars or (C) 9:00
A.M.  (New  York City time) on the day of the proposed  Revolving
Credit  Borrowing  in  the case of a Revolving  Credit  Borrowing
consisting  of Base Rate Advances, by any Borrower to the  Agent,
which  shall  give  to  each  Lender  prompt  notice  thereof  by
telecopier  or  telex.  Each such notice of  a  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing (a "Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing") shall be  by
telephone,  confirmed immediately in writing,  or  telecopier  or
telex in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying
therein   the  requested  (i)  date  of  such  Revolving   Credit
Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit
Borrowing,  (iii)  aggregate  amount  of  such  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing,  and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit  Borrowing
consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period
and currency for each such Revolving Credit Advance.  Each Lender
shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing, make available for the account of its
Applicable  Lending Office to the Agent (i)  in  the  case  of  a
Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars, at its address referred to
in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion
(as determined in accordance with Section 2.01) of such Revolving
Credit  Borrowing in Dollars, and (ii) in the case of a Revolving
Credit  Borrowing in a Major Currency, at the Payment Office  for
such  Major Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent  to
the  Lenders  prior  thereto, in same day  funds,  such  Lender's
ratable  portion (as determined in accordance with Section  2.01)
of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in such Major Currency.  After
the  Agent's  receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment  of  the
applicable  conditions set forth in Article III, the  Agent  will
make  such  funds  available  to  the  Borrower  requesting   the
Revolving Credit Borrowing at the Agent's aforesaid address or at
the applicable Payment Office, as the case may be.

           (b)   Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary
notwithstanding,  a  Borrower may not  select  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances  for  any  proposed Revolving Credit  Borrowing  if  the
obligation  of  the  Lenders to make Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances
shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.11.

           (c)  Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing of  any
Borrower  shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.   In
the  case  of  any  Revolving Credit Borrowing that  the  related
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised
of  Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances, the  Borrower  requesting  such
Revolving  Credit Borrowing shall indemnify each  Lender  against
any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result  of
any  failure  by such Borrower to fulfill on or before  the  date
specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing  for  such
Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in
Article  III, including, without limitation, any loss  (including
loss  of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason
of  the  liquidation or reemployment of deposits or  other  funds
acquired  by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit Advance  to
be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing
when  such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of such failure,
is not made on such date.

          (d)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender  prior to the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing  that
such  Lender  will not make available to the Agent such  Lender's
ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may
assume  that such Lender has made such portion available  to  the
Agent  on  the  date  of  such  Revolving  Credit  Borrowing   in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent
may,  in  reliance  upon such assumption, make available  to  the
Borrower proposing such Revolving Credit Borrowing on such date a
corresponding  amount.   If and to the extent  that  such  Lender
shall  not  have  so made such ratable portion available  to  the
Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay  to
the  Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount  is
made  available  to such Borrower until the date such  amount  is
repaid  to  the  Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower,  the
interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances
comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in  the  case
of  such  Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.  If such  Lender  shall
repay  to  the  Agent such corresponding amount, such  amount  so
repaid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Credit Advance as
part  of  such  Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes  of  this
Agreement.

           (e)   The  failure of any Lender to make the Revolving
Credit  Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  shall not relieve any other Lender of its  obligation,
if  any,  hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance  on  the
date  of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall  be
responsible  for  the failure of any other  Lender  to  make  the
Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender  on  the
date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.03.  The Competitive Bid Advances.  (a)  Each
Lender severally agrees that any Borrower may request Competitive
Bid  Borrowings under this Section 2.03 from time to time on  any
Business  Day  during the period from the date hereof  until  the
date  occurring seven days prior to the Termination Date  in  the
manner  set forth below; provided that, following the  making  of
each  Competitive Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount  (based  in
respect of any Advance denominated in a Foreign Currency  on  the
Equivalent in Dollars on such Business Day) of the Advances  then
outstanding  shall  not  exceed  the  aggregate  amount  of   the
Commitments  of  the  Lenders (computed  without  regard  to  any
Competitive Bid Reduction).  Notwithstanding anything  herein  to
the  contrary,  no Competitive Bid Borrowing may  be  made  in  a
Foreign  Currency if, after giving effect to the making  of  such
Revolving  Credit  Borrowing, the Equivalent in  Dollars  of  the
aggregate   amount  of  outstanding  Competitive   Bid   Advances
denominated  in Foreign Currencies, together with the  Equivalent
in  Dollars  of  the  aggregate amount of  outstanding  Revolving
Credit  Advances  denominated in Major Currencies,  would  exceed
$110,000,000.

           (i)   Any  Borrower  may  request  a  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  under  this  Section 2.03 by  delivering  to  the
     Agent, by telecopier or telex, a notice of a Competitive Bid
     Borrowing  (a  "Notice of Competitive  Bid  Borrowing"),  in
     substantially  the  form of Exhibit B-2  hereto,  specifying
     therein  the requested (s) date of such proposed Competitive
     Bid   Borrowing,  (t)  aggregate  amount  of  such  proposed
     Competitive  Bid Borrowing, (u) interest rate  basis  to  be
     offered  by  the  Lenders,  (v) currency  of  such  proposed
     Competitive  Bid Borrowing, (w) in the case of a Competitive
     Bid  Borrowing  consisting of LIBO Rate  Advances,  Interest
     Period of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made as part of
     such  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,  or  in  the  case  of  a
     Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances,
     maturity date for repayment of each Fixed Rate Advance to be
     made  as  part  of  such  Competitive Bid  Borrowing  (which
     maturity  date  may not be earlier than the  date  occurring
     five  days  after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing
     or  later  than the Termination Date), (x) interest  payment
     date  or  dates  relating  thereto,  (y)  location  of  such
     Borrower's  account to which funds are to be  advanced,  and
     (z)   other  terms  (if  any)  to  be  applicable  to   such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,  not  later  than  10:00   A.M.
     (New York City time) (A) at least one Business Day prior  to
     the  date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such
     Borrower  shall  specify in its Notice  of  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  that the rates of interest to be offered  by  the
     Lenders  shall  be  fixed  rates  per  annum  (each  Advance
     comprising any such Competitive Bid Borrowing being referred
     to  herein as a "Fixed Rate Advance") and that the  Advances
     comprising such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing shall  be
     denominated  in  Dollars, (B) at least  four  Business  Days
     prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing,
     if  such  Borrower shall instead specify in  its  Notice  of
     Competitive Bid Borrowing that the Advances comprising  such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  shall  be  either  Fixed   Rate
     Advances  denominated  in any Major Currency  or  LIBO  Rate
     Advances  denominated in Dollars or any Major  Currency  and
     (C)  at  least five Business Days prior to the date  of  the
     proposed  Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Borrower  shall
     instead  specify in its Notice of Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     that  the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing
     shall  be  either  Fixed  Rate Advances  denominated  in  an
     Alternate Currency or LIBO Rate Advances denominated  in  an
     Alternate   Currency.   Each  Notice  of   Competitive   Bid
     Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.
     Any  Notice  of  Competitive Bid Borrowing by  a  Designated
     Subsidiary  shall be given to the Agent in  accordance  with
     the preceding sentence through the Company on behalf of such
     Designated  Subsidiary.  The Agent shall  in  turn  promptly
     notify  each  Lender of each request for a  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing received by it from such Borrower by sending  such
     Lender  a  copy  of  the related Notice of  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing.

           (ii)  Each Lender may, if, in its sole discretion,  it
     elects  to  do  so, irrevocably offer to make  one  or  more
     Competitive  Bid  Advances  to the  Borrower  proposing  the
     Competitive   Bid  Borrowing  as  part  of   such   proposed
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing at a rate or rates  of  interest
     specified  by  such  Lender  in  its  sole  discretion,   by
     notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice  thereof
     to such Borrower), (A) before 9:30 A.M. (New York City time)
     on  the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing,  in
     the  case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed
     Rate  Advances denominated in Dollars, (B) before 10:00 A.M.
     (New York City time) three Business Days before the date  of
     such  proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case  of  a
     Competitive  Bid Borrowing consisting of either  Fixed  Rate
     Advances  denominated  in any Major Currency  or  LIBO  Rate
     Advances  denominated in Dollars or any Major  Currency  and
     (C)  before  10:00 A.M. (New York City time)  four  Business
     Days  before  the  date  of  such proposed  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing,  in  the  case  of  a Competitive  Bid  Borrowing
     consisting of either Fixed Rate Advances denominated  in  an
     Alternate Currency or LIBO Rate Advances denominated  in  an
     Alternate Currency, of the minimum amount and maximum amount
     of  each Competitive Bid Advance which such Lender would  be
     willing  to  make  as part of such proposed Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  (which  amounts,  or the  Equivalent  thereof  in
     Dollars, as the case may be, may, subject to the proviso  to
     the  first  sentence  of this Section 2.03(a),  exceed  such
     Lender's  Commitment, if any), the rate or rates of interest
     therefor  and such Lender's Applicable Lending  Office  with
     respect  to such Competitive Bid Advance; provided  that  if
     the  Agent  in its capacity as a Lender shall, in  its  sole
     discretion,  elect to make any such offer, it  shall  notify
     such  Borrower of such offer at least 30 minutes before  the
     time and on the date on which notice of such election is  to
     be  given to the Agent by the other Lenders.  If any  Lender
     shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall  so
     notify the Agent, before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time)  on
     the date on which notice of such election is to be given  to
     the Agent by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall not be
     obligated  to,  and  shall  not, make  any  Competitive  Bid
     Advance  as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided
     that the failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not
     cause  such  Lender to be obligated to make any  Competitive
     Bid  Advance  as  part  of  such  proposed  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing.

           (iii)      The Borrower proposing the Competitive  Bid
     Advance shall, in turn, (A) before 10:30 A.M. (New York City
     time)   on  the  date  of  such  proposed  Competitive   Bid
     Borrowing,  in  the  case  of  a Competitive  Bid  Borrowing
     consisting  of Fixed Rate Advances denominated  in  Dollars,
     (B)  before  11:00 A.M. (New York City time) three  Business
     Days  before  the  date  of  such proposed  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing,  in  the  case  of  a Competitive  Bid  Borrowing
     consisting of either Fixed Rate Advances denominated in  any
     Major  Currency or LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars
     or  any  Major Currency and (C) before 11:00 A.M. (New  York
     City  time)  four  Business Days before  the  date  of  such
     proposed  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,  in  the  case  of  a
     Competitive  Bid Borrowing consisting of either  Fixed  Rate
     Advances  denominated in an Alternate Currency or LIBO  Rate
     Advances denominated in an Alternate Currency, either:

                    (x)  cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by
          giving the Agent notice to that effect, or

                    (y)  accept one or more of the offers made by
          any Lender or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (ii) above,
          in  its sole discretion, by giving notice to the  Agent
          of  the  amount of each Competitive Bid Advance  (which
          amount  shall be equal to or greater than  the  minimum
          amount,  and equal to or less than the maximum  amount,
          notified  to  such Borrower by the Agent on  behalf  of
          such  Lender for such Competitive Bid Advance  pursuant
          to  paragraph (ii) above) to be made by each Lender  as
          part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject  any
          remaining   offers   made  by   Lenders   pursuant   to
          paragraph (ii) above by giving the Agent notice to that
          effect; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not
          accept  any offer in excess of the requested bid amount
          for  any  maturity.   Such Borrower  shall  accept  the
          offers   made  by  any  Lender  or  Lenders   to   make
          Competitive Bid Advances in order of the lowest to  the
          highest rates of interest offered by such Lenders.   If
          two  or  more  Lenders have offered the  same  interest
          rate,  the amount to be borrowed at such interest  rate
          will  be allocated among such Lenders in proportion  to
          the  amount  that  each  such Lender  offered  at  such
          interest rate.

           (iv)  If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  notifies  the  Agent that  such  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to paragraph (iii)(x) above,
     the  Agent  shall give prompt notice thereof to the  Lenders
     and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

           (v)   If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  accepts  one or more of the offers  made  by  any
     Lender or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above,  the
     Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Lender that has
     made  an offer as described in paragraph (ii) above, of  the
     date  and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing
     and  whether or not any offer or offers made by such  Lender
     pursuant to paragraph (ii) above have been accepted  by  the
     Borrower, (B) each Lender that is to make a Competitive  Bid
     Advance  as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing,  of  the
     amount  of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made  by  such
     Lender  as  part  of  such Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,  and
     (C) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as
     part  of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, upon receipt,  that
     the  Agent  has  received  forms of documents  appearing  to
     fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article  III.
     Each  Lender  that is to make a Competitive Bid  Advance  as
     part   of  such  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  shall,  before
     12:00  noon  (New  York  City time)  on  the  date  of  such
     Competitive  Bid Borrowing specified in the notice  received
     from  the  Agent  pursuant to clause (A)  of  the  preceding
     sentence  or  any  later time when such  Lender  shall  have
     received notice from the Agent pursuant to clause (C) of the
     preceding  sentence, make available for the account  of  its
     Applicable Lending Office to the Agent (x) in the case of  a
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  in  Dollars,  at  its   address
     referred  to  in  Section  9.02, in  same  day  funds,  such
     Lender's  portion  of  such  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  in
     Dollars,  and (y) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing
     in  a  Foreign  Currency,  at the Payment  Office  for  such
     Foreign Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent to
     the  Lenders prior thereto, in same day funds, such Lender's
     portion  of  such Competitive Bid Borrowing in such  Foreign
     Currency.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
     forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of  such
     funds,  the  Agent  will make such funds available  to  such
     Borrower's  account  at  the  location  specified  by   such
     Borrower   in  its  Notice  of  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing.
     Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing the Agent will
     notify  each  Lender of the amount of such  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and  the
     dates  upon  which such Competitive Bid Reduction  commenced
     and will terminate.

           (vi)  If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing notifies the Agent that it accepts one or more  of
     the  offers  made  by  any  Lender or  Lenders  pursuant  to
     paragraph (iii)(y) above, such notice of acceptance shall be
     irrevocable  and  binding on such Borrower.   Such  Borrower
     shall  indemnify  each  Lender against  any  loss,  cost  or
     expense  incurred by such Lender as a result of any  failure
     by  such Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified
     in  the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  the applicable  conditions  set
     forth  in  Article III, including, without  limitation,  any
     loss  (including  loss  of  anticipated  profits),  cost  or
     expense   incurred   by  reason  of   the   liquidation   or
     reemployment  of  deposits or other funds acquired  by  such
     Lender  to  fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be  made  by
     such  Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing  when
     such  Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such  failure,
     is not made on such date.

           (b)   Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall  be  in  an
aggregate  amount  not less than $10,000,000 (or  the  Equivalent
thereof  in  any  Foreign Currency) or an  integral  multiple  of
$1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) in
excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive  Bid
Borrowing,  the  Borrower that has borrowed such Competitive  Bid
Borrowing shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in
the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) above.

           (c)  Within the limits and on the conditions set forth
in  this Section 2.03, any Borrower may from time to time  borrow
under   this   Section   2.03,  repay  or  prepay   pursuant   to
subsection  (d)  below,  and reborrow under  this  Section  2.03,
provided  that  a  Competitive Bid Borrowing shall  not  be  made
within  three Business Days of the date of any other  Competitive
Bid Borrowing.

            (d)   Any  Borrower  that  has  borrowed  through   a
Competitive  Bid  Borrowing shall repay  to  the  Agent  for  the
account  of each Lender that has made a Competitive Bid  Advance,
on  the  maturity  date  of such Competitive  Bid  Advance  (such
maturity date being that specified by such Borrower for repayment
of  such  Competitive  Bid  Advance  in  the  related  Notice  of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i)
above  and  provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing  such
Competitive  Bid  Advance), the then unpaid principal  amount  of
such  Competitive Bid Advance.  Such Borrower shall have no right
to  prepay  any principal amount of any Competitive  Bid  Advance
unless,  and  then only on the terms, specified by such  Borrower
for  such  Competitive  Bid  Advance in  the  related  Notice  of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i)
above  and set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing  such
Competitive Bid Advance.

            (e)   Each  Borrower  that  has  borrowed  through  a
Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  shall pay  interest  on  the  unpaid
principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance comprising  such
Competitive  Bid Borrowing from the date of such Competitive  Bid
Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive  Bid
Advance  is  repaid  in full, at the rate of  interest  for  such
Competitive  Bid  Advance specified by  the  Lender  making  such
Competitive  Bid  Advance  in  its notice  with  respect  thereto
delivered  pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above, payable  on  the
interest  payment  date or dates specified by such  Borrower  for
such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive
Bid  Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above,  as
provided  in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive
Bid  Advance.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance  of
an  Event  of Default under Section 6.01(a), such Borrower  shall
pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on
each  Competitive  Bid  Advance owing to  a  Lender,  payable  in
arrears  on the date or dates interest is payable thereon,  at  a
rate  per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate
per  annum  required to be paid on such Competitive  Bid  Advance
under  the  terms  of  the Competitive Bid Note  evidencing  such
Competitive   Bid  Advance  unless  otherwise  agreed   in   such
Competitive Bid Note.

           (f)   The indebtedness of any Borrower resulting  from
each  Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower as part of  a
Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  shall be  evidenced  by  a  separate
Competitive Bid Note of the Borrower payable to the order of  the
Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance.

           SECTION 2.04.  Fees.  (a)  Facility Fee.  The  Company
agrees  to  pay  to the Agent for the account of  each  Lender  a
facility  fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender's Commitment
from  the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from
the  effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or  the
Assignment and Acceptance, as the case may be,  pursuant to which
it  became  a Lender in the case of each other Lender  until  the
Termination  Date  at a rate per annum equal  to  the  Applicable
Percentage  in  effect  from time to  time,  payable  in  arrears
quarterly  on  the  last day of each March, June,  September  and
December,  commencing September 30, 1995, and on the  Termination
Date.

           (b)  Agent's Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Agent
for its own account such fees, and at such times, as set forth in
the letter dated June 6, 1995 between the Company and the Agent.

           SECTION  2.05.  Termination, Reduction or Increase  of
the  Commitments.   (a)  Ratable Termination or  Reduction.   The
Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business  Days'
notice  to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably  in
part  the  unused portions of the respective Commitments  of  the
Lenders,  provided that each partial reduction  shall  be  in  an
aggregate  amount  not  less  than  $10,000,000  or  an  integral
multiple  of  $1,000,000 in excess thereof and  provided  further
that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall
not  be  reduced to an amount that is less than the  sum  of  the
aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  Competitive  Bid  Advances
denominated  in Dollars then outstanding plus the  Equivalent  in
Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive  Bid
Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding.  The
aggregate amount of the Commitments, once reduced as provided  in
this  Section 2.05(a), may not be reinstated, except as  provided
in Section 2.05(e) below.

            (b)   Non-Ratable  Termination  by  Assignment.   The
Company  shall  have the right, upon at least ten Business  Days'
written notice to the Agent (which shall then give prompt  notice
thereof to the relevant Lender), to require any Lender to assign,
pursuant  to  and  in accordance with the provisions  of  Section
9.07, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement  and
under  the Notes to an Eligible Assignee selected by the Company;
provided,  however,  that  (i) no Event  of  Default  shall  have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such request and at the
time of such assignment; (ii) the assignee shall have paid to the
assigning  Lender  the aggregate principal  amount  of,  and  any
interest  accrued and unpaid to the date of such  assignment  on,
the  Note  or Notes of such Lender; (iii) the Company shall  have
paid  to the assigning Lender any and all facility fees and other
fees  payable  to  such Lender and all other accrued  and  unpaid
amounts  owing  to  such  Lender  under  any  provision  of  this
Agreement (including, but not limited to, any increased costs  or
other  additional  amounts  owing  under  Section  2.10  and  any
indemnification for Taxes under Section 2.13) as of the effective
date of such assignment; and (iv) if the assignee selected by the
Company  is not an existing Lender, such assignee or the  Company
shall have paid the processing and recordation fee required under
Section  9.07(a) for such assignment; provided further  that  the
Company shall have no right to replace more than three Lenders in
any  calendar year pursuant to this Section 2.05(b); and provided
further  that the assigning Lender's rights under Sections  2.10,
2.13  and  9.04,  and its obligations under Section  8.05,  shall
survive such assignment as to matters occurring prior to the date
of assignment.

           (c)   Non-Ratable Reduction.  (i)  The  Company  shall
have  the  right,  at  any  time other  than  during  any  Rating
Condition,  upon at least ten Business Days' notice to  a  Lender
(with  a  copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Lender's
Commitment  (determined without giving effect to any  Competitive
Bid  Reduction).  Such termination shall be effective,  (i)  with
respect to such Lender's unused Commitment, on the date set forth
in  such  notice, provided, however, that such date shall  be  no
earlier  than ten Business Days after receipt of such notice  and
(ii) with respect to each Advance outstanding to such Lender,  on
the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to such
Advance;  provided further, however, that such termination  shall
not  be  effective, if, after giving effect to such  termination,
the  Company  would,  under  this  Section  2.05(c),  reduce  the
Lenders' Commitments in any calendar year by an amount in  excess
of the Commitments of any three Lenders or $90,000,000, whichever
is  greater on the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the
preceding  proviso,  the  Company  may  terminate  in  whole  the
Commitment  of  any  Lender  in accordance  with  the  terms  and
conditions  set  forth  in  Section  2.05(b)  or  2.16(b).   Upon
termination of a Lender's Commitment under this Section  2.05(c),
the  Company will pay or cause to be paid all principal  of,  and
interest  accrued to the date of such payment on, Advances  owing
to such Lender and pay any facility fees or other fees payable to
such  Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04, and  all
other  amounts  payable to such Lender hereunder (including,  but
not  limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under
Section  2.10  and  any indemnification for Taxes  under  Section
2.13);  and  upon such payments, the obligations of  such  Lender
hereunder  shall,  by  the  provisions hereof,  be  released  and
discharged;  provided, however, that such Lender's  rights  under
Sections  2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its obligations under  Section
8.05  shall  survive  such release and discharge  as  to  matters
occurring  prior  to  such  date.  The aggregate  amount  of  the
Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to this  Section
2.05(c) may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.05(e)
below.

           (ii)  For  purposes of this Section 2.05(c) only,  the
term  "Rating  Condition"  shall mean a  period  commencing  with
notice  (a "Rating Condition Notice") by the Agent to the Company
and  the  Lenders to the effect that the Agent has been  informed
that  the  rating  of the senior public Debt of  the  Company  is
unsatisfactory under the standard set forth in the next sentence,
and  ending  with  notice by the Agent to  the  Company  and  the
Lenders to the effect that such condition no longer exists.   The
Agent  shall give a Rating Condition Notice promptly upon receipt
from the Company or any Lender of notice stating, in effect, that
both  of  S&P  and  Moody's  (or  any  successor  by  merger   or
consolidation  to the business of either thereof),  respectively,
then  rate the senior public Debt of the Company lower  than  BBB
and  Baa2.   The  Company  agrees to give  notice  to  the  Agent
forthwith upon any change in a rating by either such organization
of the senior public Debt of the Company; the Agent shall have no
duty  whatsoever to verify the accuracy of any such  notice  from
the Company or any Lender or to monitor independently the ratings
of the senior public Debt of the Company and no Lender shall have
any duty to give any such notice.  The Agent shall give notice to
the  Lenders  and the Company as to the termination of  a  Rating
Condition  promptly upon receiving a notice from the  Company  to
the  Agent (which notice the Agent shall promptly notify  to  the
Lenders) stating that the rating of the senior public Debt of the
Company  does  not  meet the standard set  forth  in  the  second
sentence  of  this  clause (ii), and requesting  that  the  Agent
notify  the  Lenders of the termination of the Rating  Condition.
The  Rating  Condition shall terminate upon the  giving  of  such
notice by the Agent.

           (d)   Termination by a Lender.  In the  event  that  a
Change  of  Control occurs, each Lender may,  by  notice  to  the
Company and the Agent given not later than 50 calendar days after
such   Change   of  Control,  terminate  its  Commitment,   which
Commitment shall be terminated effective as of the later  of  (i)
the date that is 60 calendar days after such Change of Control or
(ii)  the  end of the Interest Period for any Advance outstanding
at  the  time  of such Change of Control or for any Advance  made
pursuant to the next sentence of this Section 2.05(d).  Upon  the
occurrence of a Change of Control, each Borrower's right to  make
a  Borrowing under this Agreement shall be suspended for a period
of  60  calendar  days, except for Advances  having  an  interest
period  ending not later than 90 calendar days after such  Change
of  Control.   A notice of termination pursuant to  this  Section
2.05(d) shall not have the effect of accelerating any outstanding
Advance of such Lender and the Notes of such Lender.

           (e)   Increase  in Aggregate of the Commitments.   (i)
The Company may at any time, by notice to the Agent, propose that
the  aggregate  amount  of  the Commitments  be  increased  (such
aggregate   amount   being,  a  "Commitment  Increase")   up   to
$150,000,000 in excess of the aggregate of the Commitments as  of
the  Effective  Date,  effective  as  at  a  date  prior  to  the
Termination  Date (the "Increase Date") as to which agreement  is
to  be  reached by an earlier date specified in such notice  (the
"Commitment  Date"); provided, however, that (A) the Company  may
not  propose  more  than  five Commitment Increases  during  each
rolling  five-year period that this Agreement is in  effect,  (B)
the  minimum  proposed Commitment Increase per  notice  shall  be
$30,000,000,  (C) in no event shall the aggregate amount  of  the
Commitments  at any time exceed $525,000,000 and (D)  no  Default
shall have occurred and be continuing on such Increase Date.  The
Agent  shall notify the Lenders thereof promptly upon its receipt
of any such notice.  The Agent agrees that it will cooperate with
the  Company  in discussions with the Lenders and other  Eligible
Assignees  with  a  view  to arranging  the  proposed  Commitment
Increase through the increase of the Commitments of one  or  more
of  the Lenders (each such Lender that is willing to increase its
Commitment  hereunder  being,  an "Increasing  Lender")  and  the
addition  of  one  or more other Eligible Assignees  as  Assuming
Lenders and as parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that
it  shall be in each Lender's sole discretion whether to increase
its   Commitment  hereunder  in  connection  with  the   proposed
Commitment  Increase;  and  provided  further  that  the  minimum
Commitment of each such Assuming Lender that becomes a  party  to
this  Agreement  pursuant to this Section 2.05(e),  shall  be  at
least  equal to $10,000,000.  If agreement is reached on or prior
to  the  Commitment Date with any Increasing Lenders and Assuming
Lenders  as to a Commitment Increase (which may be less than  but
not  greater  than specified in the applicable  notice  from  the
Company),  such  agreement  to  be  evidenced  by  a  notice   in
reasonable  detail from the Company to the Agent on or  prior  to
the  Commitment Date, such Assuming Lenders, if any, shall become
Lenders hereunder as of the Increase Date and the Commitments  of
such Increasing Lenders and such Assuming Lenders shall become or
be,  as  the  case may be, as of the Increase Date,  the  amounts
specified in such notice; provided that:

           (x)   the  Agent shall have received (with copies  for
     each  Lender,  including each such Assuming  Lender)  by  no
     later  than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the  Increase
     Date   (A)  an  opinion  of  counsel  for  the  Company   in
     substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto and an opinion of
     counsel for each other Borrower substantially in the form of
     Exhibit H hereto, each dated such Increase Date, and  (B)  a
     copy,  certified on the Increase Date by the  Secretary,  an
     Assistant  Secretary  or  a  comparable  official  of   each
     Borrower,  of  the  resolutions  adopted  by  the  Board  of
     Directors  of  such  Borrower  authorizing  such  Commitment
     Increase;

           (y)  each such Assuming Lender shall have delivered to
     the  Agent, by no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time)
     on the Increase Date, an appropriate Assumption Agreement in
     substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, duly executed by
     such Assuming Lender and the Company; and

           (z)   each such Increasing Lender shall have delivered
     to  the  Agent by, no later than 10:00 A.M. (New  York  City
     time)   on  the  Increase  Date,  confirmation  in   writing
     satisfactory to the Agent as to its increased Commitment.

           (ii)  In  the event that the Agent shall have received
notice  from  the  Company as to its agreement  to  a  Commitment
Increase  on  or  prior to the Commitment Date and  each  of  the
actions provided for in clauses (x) through (z) above shall  have
occurred prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Increase
Date to the satisfaction of the Agent, the Agent shall notify the
Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) and the Company  of  the
occurrence  of such Commitment Increase by telecopier,  telex  or
cable promptly and in any event no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City  time) on the Increase Date and shall record in the Register
the  relevant information with respect to each Increasing  Lender
and Assuming Lender.  Within five Business Days after its receipt
of such notice from the Agent, each Borrower, at its own expense,
shall  execute and deliver to the Agent, Revolving  Credit  Notes
payable to the order of each Assuming Lender, if any, dated as of
the  Increase Date and substantially in the form of  Exhibit  A-1
hereto.  The Agent, upon receipt of such Revolving Credit  Notes,
shall  promptly  deliver  such  Revolving  Credit  Notes  to  the
respective Assuming Lenders.

           (iii)      In the event that the Agent shall not  have
received notice from the Company as to such agreement on or prior
to  the  Commitment Date or the Company shall, by notice  to  the
Agent  prior  to the Increase Date, withdraw its proposal  for  a
Commitment Increase or any of the actions provided for  above  in
clauses  (i)(x)  through  (i)(z)  shall  not  have  occurred   by
10:00  A.M.  (New  York  City time) on the  Increase  Date,  such
proposal  by the Company shall be deemed not to have  been  made.
In such event, any actions theretofore taken under clauses (i)(x)
through  (i)(z) above shall be deemed to be of no effect and  all
the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue as if no
such proposal had been made.

           SECTION 2.06.  Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances.
Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of
the  Lenders  on  the  Termination Date the  aggregate  principal
amount  of  the  Revolving Credit Advances  then  outstanding  in
respect of such Borrower.

           SECTION  2.07.  Interest on Revolving Credit Advances.
(a)  Scheduled Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing by
such  Borrower  to  each Lender from the date of  such  Revolving
Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full,
at the following rates per annum:

           (i)   Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such
     Revolving Credit Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate  per
     annum  equal  at all times to the Base Rate in  effect  from
     time to time,  payable in arrears quarterly on the last  day
     of  each  March,  June, September and December  during  such
     periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be paid
     in full.

           (ii)  Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  During such periods
     as  such  Revolving  Credit Advance is a  Eurocurrency  Rate
     Advance,  a  rate per annum equal at all times  during  each
     Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum
     of  (x)  the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period  for
     such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin
     in  effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last
     day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has
     a  duration  of  more than three months, on  each  day  that
     occurs  during such Interest Period every three months  from
     the  first day of such Interest Period and on the date  such
     Eurocurrency  Rate  Advance shall be Converted  or  paid  in
     full.

           (b)  Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during
the  continuance  of an Event of Default under  Section  6.01(a),
each  Borrower  shall  pay interest on (i) the  unpaid  principal
amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to
each  Lender,  payable  in arrears on the dates  referred  to  in
clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at  all
times  to  1% per annum above the rate per annum required  to  be
paid  on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause  (a)(i)
or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder
by  such  Borrower that is not paid when due, from the date  such
amount  shall  be due until such amount shall be  paid  in  full,
payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in  full
and  on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1%  per
annum  above  the  rate per annum required to  be  paid  on  such
Revolving  Credit  Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i)  or  (a)(ii)
above.

           SECTION 2.08.  Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  Each
Reference  Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information
for  the  purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate and  each
LIBO  Rate.  If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall  not
furnish  such timely information to the Agent for the purpose  of
determining  any  such interest rate, the Agent  shall  determine
such  interest rate on the basis of timely information  furnished
by  the  remaining Reference Banks.  The Agent shall give  prompt
notice  to the Company and the Lenders of the applicable interest
rate  determined by the Agent for purposes of Section  2.07(a)(i)
or  (ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference  Bank
for   the   purpose  of  determining  the  interest  rate   under
Section 2.07(a)(ii).

            (b)   If,  with  respect  to  any  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances,  the  Majority  Lenders  notify  the  Agent  that   the
Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances  will
not  adequately  reflect  the cost to such  Majority  Lenders  of
making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate
Advances  for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith  so
notify  each  Borrower  and  the  Lenders,  whereupon  (i)   such
Eurocurrency  Rate Advances will (to the extent such Eurocurrency
Rate  Advances remain outstanding on such day) automatically,  on
the  last  day  of  the then existing Interest  Period  therefor,
(A)  if  such  Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances  are  denominated  in
Dollars,  be  Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B)  if  such
Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Major Currency,
be  redenominated  into  an  Equivalent  amount  of  Dollars  and
Converted into Base Rate Advances, and (ii) the obligation of the
Lenders  to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in the same  currency
as  such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until  the
Agent  shall  notify  each  Borrower and  the  Lenders  that  the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

           (c)  If any Borrower, in requesting a Revolving Credit
Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall fail  to
select  the duration of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency
Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in  the
definition  of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the Agent  will
forthwith  so  notify  the  Borrower and  the  Lenders  and  such
Advances  will  (to  the extent such Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances
remain outstanding on such day) automatically, on the last day of
the   then  existing  Interest  Period  therefor,  (i)  if   such
Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances  are  denominated  in  Dollars,   be
Converted  into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such  Eurocurrency
Rate   Advances  are  denominated  in  any  Major  Currency,   be
redenominated into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and  Converted
into Base Rate Advances.

           (d)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency
Rate  Advance will (to the extent such Eurocurrency Rate  Advance
remains  outstanding on such day) automatically, on the last  day
of  the  then  existing  Interest Period therefor,  (A)  if  such
Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted
into  a  Base  Rate  Advance and (B) if  such  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advance  is  denominated in any Major Currency, be  redenominated
into  an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Converted into  a  Base
Rate  Advance  and  (ii) the obligation of the  Lenders  to  make
Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.

           (e)   If fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely
information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or
LIBO  Rate  for  any  Eurocurrency Rate  Advances  or  LIBO  Rate
Advances, as the case may be,

           (i)   the  Agent shall forthwith notify  the  relevant
     Borrower  and the Lenders that the interest rate  cannot  be
     determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO  Rate
     Advances, as the case may be,

           (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances,  each
     such  Advance  will  (to the extent such  Eurocurrency  Rate
     Advance remains outstanding on such day)  automatically,  on
     the  last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor,
     (A)  if  such  Eurocurrency Rate Advance is  denominated  in
     Dollars,  be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and  (B)  if
     such  Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any  Major
     Currency,  be  redenominated into an  Equivalent  amount  of
     Dollars  and Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if  such
     Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base
     Rate Advance), and

           (iii)      the  obligation  of  the  Lenders  to  make
     Eurocurrency  Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances  shall  be
     suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the
     Lenders  that  the circumstances causing such suspension  no
     longer exist.

            SECTION   2.09.   Prepayments  of  Revolving   Credit
Advances.   (a)  Optional Prepayments.  Each Borrower  may,  upon
notice  to  the  Agent stating the proposed  date  and  aggregate
principal  amount of the prepayment, given not later  than  11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the
date  of  such  proposed prepayment, in the case of  Eurocurrency
Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on  the day of such proposed prepayment, in the case of Base Rate
Advances,  and,  if  such notice is given, such  Borrower  shall,
prepay  the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving  Credit
Advances  comprising part of the same Revolving Credit  Borrowing
in  whole  or ratably in part, together with accrued interest  to
the  date  of  such prepayment on the principal  amount  prepaid;
provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall  be  in
an  aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000  or  the
Equivalent  thereof in a Major Currency (determined on  the  date
notice  of  prepayment  is  given) or  an  integral  multiple  of
$1,000,000  or  the  Equivalent  thereof  in  a  Major   Currency
(determined on the date notice of prepayment is given) in  excess
thereof  and  (y)  in  the  event of any  such  prepayment  of  a
Eurocurrency  Rate  Advance other than on the  last  day  of  the
Interest  Period  therefor, such Borrower shall be  obligated  to
reimburse   the   Lenders   in  respect   thereof   pursuant   to
Section  9.04(c).   Each  notice of prepayment  by  a  Designated
Subsidiary shall be given to the Administrative Agent through the
Company.

           (b)  Mandatory Prepayments.  (i)  If, on any date, the
sum  of  (A)  the  aggregate principal  amount  of  all  Advances
denominated  in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the  Equivalent
in  Dollars  of  the aggregate principal amount of  all  Advances
denominated  in Foreign Currencies then outstanding exceeds  103%
of  the  aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such  date,  the
Company and each other Borrower, if any, shall thereupon promptly
prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing  by
such  Borrower in an aggregate amount sufficient to  reduce  such
sum  to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments
of  the  Lenders on such date, together with any interest accrued
to  the  date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid
and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance
or  a  LIBO  Rate  Advance,  any additional  amounts  which  such
Borrower  shall  be  obligated to reimburse  to  the  Lenders  in
respect  thereof  pursuant to Section 9.04(c).  The  Agent  shall
give  prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section
2.09(b)(i) to the Borrowers and the Lenders.

           (ii) If, on any date, the sum of (A) the Equivalent in
Dollars  of  the  aggregate principal amount of all  Eurocurrency
Rate  Advances  denominated in Major Currencies then  outstanding
plus  (B)  the  Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate  principal
amount   of  all  LIBO  Rate  Advances  denominated  in   Foreign
Currencies  then  outstanding,  shall  exceed  $110,000,000,  the
Company  and  each  other Borrower shall prepay  the  outstanding
principal  amount of any such Eurocurrency Rate Advances  or  any
such  LIBO Rate Advances owing by such Borrower, on the last  day
of  the  Interest  Periods  relating  to  such  Advances,  in  an
aggregate  amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount  not
to exceed $100,000,000, together with any interest accrued to the
date  of  such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid.   The
Agent  shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required  under
this Section 2.09(b)(ii) to the Borrowers and the Lenders.

          SECTION 2.10.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either
(i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation
of  any  law  or  regulation  or (ii)  the  compliance  with  any
guideline  or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority  (whether or not having the force of law), there  shall
be  any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO
Rate  Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section  2.10  any
such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes  (as
to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis
of  taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the
United  States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under  the
laws  of  which  such Lender is organized or has  its  Applicable
Lending  Office or any political subdivision thereof),  then  the
Borrower of such Advances shall from time to time, upon demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the
Agent   for  the  account  of  such  Lender  additional   amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.   A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to
such  Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be  conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

           (b)  If any Lender determines that compliance with any
law  or  regulation or any guideline or request from any  central
bank  or other governmental authority (whether or not having  the
force  of  law)  affects or would affect the  amount  of  capital
required  or  expected to be maintained by  such  Lender  or  any
corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount  of  such
capital  is  increased  by or based upon the  existence  of  such
Lender's  commitment to lend hereunder and other  commitments  of
this  type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such
demand to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for  the
account  of such Lender, from time to time as specified  by  such
Lender,  additional amounts sufficient to compensate such  Lender
or  such corporation in the light of such circumstances,  to  the
extent  that  such Lender reasonably determines such increase  in
capital  to  be  allocable  to  the existence  of  such  Lender's
commitment  to lend hereunder.  A certificate as to such  amounts
submitted  to the Company and the Agent by such Lender  shall  be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c)  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall, upon the written request  of
the  Company  delivered  to such Lender and  the  Agent,  assign,
pursuant  to  and  in accordance with the provisions  of  Section
9.07, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement  and
under  the Notes to an Eligible Assignee selected by the Company;
provided, however, that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing  at the time of such request and at the time  of  such
assignment;  (ii) the assignee shall have paid to  the  assigning
Lender  the  aggregate  principal amount  of,  and  any  interest
accrued and unpaid to the date of such assignment on, the Note or
Notes  of such Lender; (iii) the Company shall have paid  to  the
assigning Lender any and all facility fees and other fees payable
to  such Lender and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to
such Lender under any provision of this Agreement (including, but
not  limited to, any increased costs or other additional  amounts
owing  under this Section 2.10, and any indemnification for Taxes
under  Section 2.13) as of the effective date of such  assignment
and  (iv)  if  the  assignee selected by the Company  is  not  an
existing Lender, such assignee or the Company shall have paid the
processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.07(a) for
such  assignment;  provided further that the  assigning  Lender's
rights  under  Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its  obligations
under  Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment as to  matters
occurring prior to the date of assignment.

           SECTION 2.11.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any  other
provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent
that   the   introduction  of  or  any  change  in  or   in   the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that  it  is
unlawful,  for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending  Office  to
perform  its  obligations  hereunder to  make  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances  in Dollars or any Major Currency or LIBO Rate  Advances
in  Dollars  or  in any Foreign Currency or to fund  or  maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or in any Major Currency or
LIBO  Rate  Advances  in  Dollars  or  in  any  Foreign  Currency
hereunder, (i) each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or  such  LIBO
Rate  Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon  such
demand,  (A)  if  such  Eurocurrency Rate Advance  or  LIBO  Rate
Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base  Rate
Advance  or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set  forth
in   Section  2.07(a)(i),  as  the  case  may  be,  (B)  if  such
Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated  in
any  Foreign Currency, be redenominated into an Equivalent amount
of  Dollars and Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an  Advance
that  bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i),
as  the  case may be, and (ii) the obligation of the  Lenders  to
make  such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or such LIBO Rate  Advances
shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower  and
the  Lenders  that the circumstances causing such  suspension  no
longer exist.

           SECTION  2.12.  Payments and Computations.  (a)   Each
Borrower  shall make each payment hereunder and under the  Notes,
except  with  respect  to principal of, interest  on,  and  other
amounts  relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency,
not  later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the  day  when
due in Dollars to the Agent at its address referred to in Section
9.02  in  same day funds.  Each Borrower shall make each  payment
hereunder  and  under  the Notes with respect  to  principal  of,
interest  on, and other amounts relating to Advances  denominated
in  a  Foreign Currency not later than 12:00 Noon (at the Payment
Office  for  such Foreign Currency) on the day when due  in  such
Foreign  Currency to the Agent in same day funds  by  deposit  of
such  funds  to  the Agent's account maintained at  such  Payment
Office.   The  Agent  will  promptly  thereafter  cause   to   be
distributed  like funds relating to the payment of  principal  or
interest  or  facility fees ratably (other than  amounts  payable
pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05(b), 2.05(c), 2.10, 2.13,  2.16  or
9.04(c))  to  the  Lenders for the account  of  their  respective
Applicable  Lending  Offices, and  like  funds  relating  to  the
payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such  Lender
for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to
be  applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon
its  acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording  of
the  information  contained therein in the Register  pursuant  to
Section  9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified  in
such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned
thereby  to  the Lender assignee thereunder, and the  parties  to
such   Assignment  and  Acceptance  shall  make  all  appropriate
adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such  effective
date  directly  between  themselves.  Upon  any  Assuming  Lender
becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of the effectiveness of a
Commitment  Increase pursuant to Section 2.05(e) or an  extension
of  the  Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16, and upon  the
Agent's  receipt  of  such  Lender's  Assumption  Agreement   and
recording the information contained therein in the Register, from
and  after the Increase Date or the Extension Date, as  the  case
may be, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the
Notes  in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming
Lender.

           (b)   All  computations of interest based on the  Base
Rate and of facility fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis
of  a  year  of  365 or 366 days, as the case  may  be,  and  all
computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBO
Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Agent on  the
basis  of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual  number
of  days  (including the first day but excluding  the  last  day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or facility  fees
are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate
hereunder  shall  be  conclusive and binding  for  all  purposes,
absent manifest error.

           (c)  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes
shall  be  stated to be due on a day other than a  Business  Day,
such  payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business  Day,
and  such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as  the  case
may  be;  provided, however, that, if such extension would  cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances
or  LIBO  Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar
month,  such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business
Day.

           (d)   Unless the Agent shall have received notice from
any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Lenders  hereunder that such Borrower will not make such  payment
in  full,  the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made  such
payment  in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may,  in
reliance  upon such assumption, cause to be distributed  to  each
Lender  on such due date an amount equal to the amount  then  due
such  Lender.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not  have
so  made  such  payment in full to the Agent, each  Lender  shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to
such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date  such  amount is distributed to such Lender until  the  date
such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

          SECTION 2.13.  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by any
Borrower  hereunder  or  under  the  Notes  shall  be  made,   in
accordance  with  Section 2.12, free and  clear  of  and  without
deduction  for  any  and  all present or  future  taxes,  levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with  respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender  and
the  Agent,  net  income taxes imposed by the United  States  and
taxes  imposed  on  its overall net income, and  franchise  taxes
imposed  on  it in lieu of net income taxes, by the  jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may
be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the
case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the
jurisdiction  of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office  or  any
political  subdivision  thereof  (all  such  non-excluded  taxes,
levies,   imposts,   deductions,   charges,   withholdings    and
liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under  the  Notes
being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").  If any Borrower shall
be  required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum  payable  hereunder or under any Note to any  Lender  or  the
Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so   that   after  making  all  required  deductions   (including
deductions  applicable  to additional  sums  payable  under  this
Section  2.13)  such Lender or the Agent (as  the  case  may  be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such  deductions  been made, (ii) such Borrower shall  make  such
deductions  and  (iii) such Borrower shall pay  the  full  amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.

           (b)   In  addition, each Borrower agrees  to  pay  any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other  excise
or  property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any
payment  made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise  with
respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred  to
as "Other Taxes").

           (c)  Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the
Agent  for  the  full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes  (including,
without  limitation,  any taxes imposed by  any  jurisdiction  on
amounts  payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or  paid  by
such  Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any  liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with  respect  thereto; provided, however, that a Borrower  shall
not  be  obligated  to pay any amounts in respect  of  penalties,
interest or expenses pursuant to this paragraph that are  payable
solely  as  a  result  of (i) the failure  on  the  part  of  the
pertinent Lender or the Agent to pay over those amounts  received
from  the  Borrowers  under this clause (c)  or  (ii)  the  gross
negligence  or  willful misconduct on the part of  the  pertinent
Lender  or the Agent.  This indemnification shall be made  within
30  days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case  may
be) makes written demand therefor.  Each Lender agrees to provide
reasonably  prompt  notice  to the Agent,  the  Company  and  any
Borrower  of any imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes against  such
Lender;  provided  that  failure to give such  notice  shall  not
affect  such Lender's rights to indemnification hereunder.   Each
Lender  agrees  that  it will, promptly upon  a  request  by  the
Company  or  a  Borrower  having made an indemnification  payment
hereunder, furnish to the Company or such Borrower, as  the  case
may  be, such evidence as is reasonably available to such  Lender
as  to the payment of the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes, and that
it  will, if requested by the Company or such Borrower, cooperate
with  the  Company or such Borrower, as the case may be,  in  its
efforts  to obtain a refund or similar relief in respect of  such
payment.

           (d)   Within 30 days after the date of any payment  of
Taxes,  each Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its  address
referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy  of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof.  In the case of any payment
hereunder  or  under the Notes by or on behalf  of  any  Borrower
through an account or branch outside the United States or  by  or
on  behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States
person, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable  in
respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such
payor  to  furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion  of
counsel  acceptable  to the Agent stating that  such  payment  is
exempt  from  Taxes.   For purposes of this  subsection  (d)  and
subsection  (e),  the terms "United States"  and  "United  States
person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of  the
Internal Revenue Code.

           (e)   Each  Lender  organized  under  the  laws  of  a
jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to  the  date
of  its  execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case  of
each  Initial  Lender  and  on the date  of  the  Assignment  and
Acceptance  or  the Assumption Agreement, as  the  case  may  be,
pursuant  to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each  other
Lender,  and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing
by any Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully
able  to  do so), shall provide the Agent and each Borrower  with
two  original  Internal Revenue Service forms 1001  or  4224,  as
appropriate,  or  any successor or other form prescribed  by  the
Internal  Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is  exempt
from  or  entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding
tax  on  payments pursuant to this Agreement or  the  Notes.   In
addition, each Lender further agrees to provide any Borrower with
any  form  or  document  as any Borrower  may  request  which  is
required  by  any taxing authority outside the United  States  in
order  to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate  of,
withholding tax.  If the forms provided by a Lender at  the  time
such  Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates  a
United  States interest withholding tax rate in excess  of  zero,
withholding  tax at such rate shall be considered  excluded  from
Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding  tax
at  such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes
for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at
the  date  of  the  Assignment and Acceptance or  the  Assumption
Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which a Lender becomes
a  party  to this Agreement, such Lender was entitled to payments
under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding  tax
with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent,
the  term  Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding  taxes
that  may  be  imposed in the future or other  amounts  otherwise
includable  in  Taxes)  United States withholding  tax,  if  any,
applicable with respect to such Lender on such date.  If any form
or  document  referred  to in this subsection  (e)  requires  the
disclosure  of information, other than information  necessary  to
compute  the  tax payable and information required  on  the  date
hereof  by  Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or  4224,  that  a
Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall
give  notice thereof to each Borrower and shall not be  obligated
to   include   in   such  form  or  document  such   confidential
information.

           (f)  For any period with respect to which a Lender has
failed  to  provide  each  Borrower  with  the  appropriate  form
described in Section 2.13(e) (other than if such failure  is  due
to  a  change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which  a
form  originally  was required to be provided, or  if  such  form
otherwise   is   not  required  under  the  first   sentence   of
subsection  (e)  above), such Lender shall  not  be  entitled  to
indemnification  under Section 2.13(a) or  (c)  with  respect  to
Taxes  imposed  by the United States by reason of  such  failure;
provided, however, that should a Lender become subject  to  Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, each
Borrower  shall  take such steps as such Lender shall  reasonably
request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

           (g)  If any Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or to the Agent or on behalf of any of  them
to  any  taxing  authority pursuant to this  Section  2.13,  such
Lender  shall, upon the written request of the Company  delivered
to  such  Lender  and  the  Agent, assign,  pursuant  to  and  in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07, all of its rights
and  obligations under this Agreement and under the Notes  to  an
Eligible  Assignee  selected by the Company;  provided,  however,
that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at  the
time of such request and at the time of such assignment; (ii) the
assignee  shall have paid to the assigning Lender  the  aggregate
principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid  to  the
date  of  such  assignment on, the Note or Notes of such  Lender;
(iii) the Company shall have paid to the assigning Lender any and
all  facility fees and other fees payable to such Lender and  all
other  accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Lender under  any
provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited  to,  any
increased  costs or other additional amounts owing under  Section
2.10,  and any indemnification for Taxes under this Section 2.13)
as  of  the  effective date of such assignment; and (iv)  if  the
assignee selected by the Company is not an existing Lender,  such
assignee  or  the  Company  shall have paid  the  processing  and
recordation   fee  required  under  Section  9.07(a)   for   such
assignment;  provided further that the assigning Lender's  rights
under  Sections  2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its  obligations  under
Section  8.05,  shall  survive  such  assignment  as  to  matters
occurring prior to the date of assignment.

          SECTION 2.14.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender
shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account  of
the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to
Section  2.03, 2.05(b), 2.05(c), 2.10, 2.13, 2.16 or 9.04(c))  in
excess  of  its  ratable  share of payments  on  account  of  the
Revolving  Credit  Advances obtained by  all  the  Lenders,  such
Lender  shall  forthwith  purchase from the  other  Lenders  such
participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them  as
shall  be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share  the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that
if  all  or  any  portion  of such excess payment  is  thereafter
recovered  from such purchasing Lender, such purchase  from  each
Lender  shall  be rescinded and such Lender shall  repay  to  the
purchasing  Lender  the  purchase price to  the  extent  of  such
recovery  together with an amount equal to such Lender's  ratable
share  (according  to the proportion of (i) the  amount  of  such
Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from  the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid
or  payable  by  the purchasing Lender in respect  of  the  total
amount  so  recovered.  Each Borrower agrees that any  Lender  so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant  to  this
Section  2.14  may,  to  the  fullest extent  permitted  by  law,
exercise  all  its  rights  of payment (including  the  right  of
setoff)  with respect to such participation as fully as  if  such
Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

           SECTION 2.15.  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds  of  the
Advances  shall  be available (and each Borrower agrees  that  it
shall use such proceeds) solely for working capital and for other
general corporate purposes of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
including, without limitation, backstop of commercial paper.

           SECTION 2.16.  Extension of Termination Date.  (a)  At
least  60 (but no earlier than 90) days prior to each anniversary
date hereof and provided no Event of Default has occurred and  is
continuing, the Company may, at its option, by written notice  to
the  Agent, request that the Lenders extend for an additional one
year  the Termination Date then in effect.  Each Lender,  in  its
sole  discretion, shall consent or not consent to such  extension
and  shall notify the Agent of its consent or nonconsent to  such
extension within 20 Business Days of notice of such request  from
the  Agent.  If all of the Lenders consent in writing,  the  then
applicable   Termination  Date  shall,  effective  as   at   such
anniversary  date  (the "Extension Date"), be  extended  for  one
year.

           (b)   If  not all of the Lenders consent, pursuant  to
subsection  (a)  of  this Section 2.16, to an  extension  of  the
Termination  Date  then in effect (the Lenders so  consenting  in
writing  being  the "Consenting Lenders", and any Lender  not  so
consenting being a "Non-Consenting Lender"), the Company may:

           (i)   arrange  for one or more Consenting  Lenders  or
     other  Eligible  Assignees as Assuming  Lenders  to  assume,
     effective on the Extension Date, any Non-Consenting Lender's
     Commitment  and all of the obligations of such Lender  under
     this  Agreement  thereafter arising, and effective  on  such
     Extension Date, each such Consenting Lender or such Assuming
     Lender  will  be substituted for such Non-Consenting  Lender
     under this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount  of
     the  Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a  result  of
     such   substitution  shall  in  no  event   be   less   than
     $10,000,000;  provided further that (i) any such  Consenting
     Lender  or  Assuming Lender shall have  paid  to  such  Non-
     Consenting Lender the aggregate principal amount of, and any
     interest  accrued and unpaid to the date of  the  assignment
     on,  the  Note or Notes of such Non-Consenting Lender;  (ii)
     the  Company  shall have paid to such Non-Consenting  Lender
     any and all facility fees and other fees payable to such Non-
     Consenting  Lender and all other accrued and unpaid  amounts
     owing  to such Non-Consenting Lender under any provision  of
     this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any increased
     costs  or other additional amounts owing under Section 2.10,

     Lender's rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and  its

     substitution as to matters occurring prior to  the  date  of
     substitution;  provided further that, on  or  prior  to  the
     tenth day prior to the Extension Date, (x) any such Assuming
     Lender shall have delivered to the Company and the Agent  an
     Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit  D
     hereto,  duly  executed by such Assuming Lender,  such  Non-
     Consenting  Lender and the Company, (y) any such  Consenting
     Bank   shall   have   delivered  confirmation   in   writing
     satisfactory to the Agent as to its increased Commitment and

     Consenting Lender at least four days prior to the  Extension
     Date,  pay, prepay or cause to be prepaid, on and  effective
     as  of  the  Extension Date, all principal of, and  interest

     notwithstanding  the provisions of Section 2.05;  and,  upon
     such  payment  or prepayment, the obligations of  such  Non-
     Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof,
     be  released  and discharged; provided, however,  that  such
     Non-Consenting Lender's rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and
     9.04,  and its obligations under Section 8.05 shall  survive
     such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior  to
     the Extension Date.

           (c)   In  the  event  that, on or prior  to  the  then
applicable Extension Date, all Non-Consenting Lenders shall  have
been  superseded  by  Consenting Lenders or Assuming  Lenders  or

subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above, the Termination Date then  in
effect  shall be extended for the additional one-year  period  as
described  in  subsection (a) above, each  Non-Consenting  Lender
shall  have  no  further Commitment hereunder, and each  Assuming
Lender,  if  any, shall thereafter be substituted as a  party  to
this  Agreement  and  be  a  Lender  for  the  purposes  of  this
Agreement,  without any further acknowledgment by or the  consent
of  the Lenders.  The Agent shall thereupon promptly deliver  the
new Revolving Credit Notes to the respective Assuming Lenders and
record  in the Register the relevant information with respect  to
each Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

           (d)   In  the  event that (x) as to  a  Non-Consenting
Lender,  neither procedure contemplated by subsection  (b)(i)  or
(b)(ii) above is implemented in a timely basis or (y) the Company
shall, by written notice to the Agent at least four days prior to
the Extension Date, withdraw its request for the extension of the
Termination  Date  then in effect, such request  by  the  Company
shall  be  deemed not to have been made, all actions  theretofore
taken under subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above shall be deemed to
be  of  no  effect,  the Agent shall return any Revolving  Credit
Notes  received  from  any Non-Consenting  Lender  to  such  Non-
Consenting  Lender  and  all the rights and  obligations  of  the
parties shall continue as if no such request had been made.

Affiliates  has  been notified by the sponsor of a  Multiemployer
Plan  that  such Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization  or  has
been  terminated, within the meaning of Title IV  of  ERISA.   No
such   Multiemployer  Plan  is  reasonably  expected  to  be   in
reorganization or to be terminated, within the meaning  of  Title
IV  of  ERISA,  in  a reorganization or termination  which  might
reasonably be expected to result in a liability of the Company in
an amount in excess of $5,000,000.

          (m)    The  Company is not, and immediately  after  the
application by the Company of the proceeds of each Loan will  not
be,  (a)  an  "investment  company" within  the  meaning  of  the
Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended, or  (b)  a  "holding
company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended.

          (n)    To  the  best  of the Company's  knowledge,  the
     operations   and   properties  of  the   Company   and   its
     Subsidiaries  taken  as  a  whole  comply  in  all  material
     respects   with   all  Environmental  Laws,  all   necessary
     Environmental  Permits have been applied for  or  have  been
     obtained and are in effect for the operations and properties
     of  the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company and its
     Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with
     all   such  Environmental  Permits.   To  the  best  of  the
     Company's  knowledge no circumstances exist  that  would  be
     reasonably  likely  to form the basis  of  an  Environmental
     Action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
     of  their  properties  that could have  a  Material  Adverse
     Effect.

     principal   amount  which,  together  with   the   aggregate
     outstanding  principal  amount of  all  other  Debt  of  the
     Company and its Subsidiaries owning Restricted Property that
     would  otherwise  be  subject to the foregoing  restrictions

     hereafter acquired) to, any Person; provided, however,  that
     the  Company may merge or consolidate with any other  Person
     so  long as the Company is the surviving corporation and  so
     long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing  at

     cash  position and cash distributions from any Person  whose
     results  have been accounted for by the equity  method)  for
     the  four most recent fiscal quarters for which Consolidated

     debt   discount  and  excluding  interest  for   tax   audit
     assessments) for such four most recent fiscal quarters to be

     shall  be  determined for the Company and  its  Consolidated

     Company  or any other Borrower shall fail to perform  or  to
     observe  any other term, covenant or agreement contained  in
     this  Agreement on its part to be performed or observed  and

     principal   financial  officer,  the  principal   accounting
     officer,  the  Vice-President and Treasurer or an  Assistant

     offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Debt shall
     be  required  to be made, in each case prior to  the  stated

           (h)   Any  non-monetary judgment  or  order  shall  be

(B)  shall  at  the  request, or may with  the  consent,  of  the

(based  in  respect  of Competitive Bid Advances  denominated  in
Foreign  Currencies on the Equivalent in Dollars on the  date  of
such request) of Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding and to
whom  such  Advances are owed, by notice to the Company,  declare
the  full  unpaid  principal  of  and  accrued  interest  on  all
Competitive  Bid Advances hereunder and all other obligations  of
the  Borrowers  hereunder  to  be immediately  due  and  payable,
whereupon such Advances and such obligations shall be immediately
due  and  payable, without presentment, demand, protest or  other
further  notice  of any kind, all of which are  hereby  expressly
waived by the Borrowers; provided, however, that in the event  of
an  actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to

                          ARTICLE VII

                           GUARANTEE

           SECTION  7.01.  Unconditional Guarantee.  For valuable
consideration,  receipt whereof is hereby  acknowledged,  and  to
induce   each   Lender  to  make  Advances  to   the   Designated
Subsidiaries  and  to  induce the Agent  to  act  hereunder,  the
Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each
Lender and the Agent that:

           (a)  the principal of and interest on each Advance  to
     each  Designated Subsidiary shall be promptly paid  in  full
     when  due  (whether at stated maturity, by  acceleration  or
     otherwise) in accordance with the terms hereof, and, in case
     of any extension of time of payment, in whole or in part, of
     such Advance, that all such sums shall be promptly paid when
     due   (whether  at  stated  maturity,  by  acceleration   or
     otherwise)  in accordance with the terms of such  extension;
     and

           (b)   all  other  amounts  payable  hereunder  by  any
     Designated  Subsidiary to any Lender or the Agent  shall  be
     promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the  terms
     hereof (the obligations of the Designated Subsidiaries under
     these subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 7.01 being the
     "Obligations").

In  addition, the Company hereby unconditionally and  irrevocably
agrees  that  upon default in the payment when  due  (whether  at
stated  maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any  principal
of,  or interest on, any Advance to any Designated Subsidiary  or
such  other amounts payable by any Designated Subsidiary  to  any
Lender  or  the Agent, the Company will forthwith pay  the  same,
without further notice or demand.

            SECTION  7.02.   Guarantee  Absolute.   The   Company
guarantees  that  the  Obligations  will  be  paid  strictly   in
accordance  with the terms of this Agreement, regardless  of  any
law,  regulation  or  order now or hereafter  in  effect  in  any
jurisdiction  affecting any of such terms or the  rights  of  any
Lender  or the Agent with respect thereto.  The liability of  the
Company  under this guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:

           (a)   any lack of validity or enforceability  of  this
     Agreement  or  any  other agreement or  instrument  relating
     thereto;

          (b)  any change in the time, manner or place of payment
     of,  or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations,
     or  any  other  amendment or waiver of  or  any  consent  to
     departure   from   this   Agreement   (including,    without
     limitation,  any extension of the Termination Date  pursuant
     to  Section  2.16  and any Commitment Increase  pursuant  to
     Section 2.05(e));

           (c)   any exchange, release or non-perfection  of  any
     collateral,  or  any release or amendment or  waiver  of  or
     consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any
     of the Obligations; or

           (d)   any  other  circumstance which  might  otherwise
     constitute  a defense available to, or a discharge  of,  the
     Company, any Borrower or a guarantor.

This  guarantee shall continue to be effective or be  reinstated,
as  the  case may be, if at any time any payment of  any  of  the
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any  of
the  Lenders  or  the  Agent upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy  or
reorganization  of the Company or any Borrower or otherwise,  all
as though such payment had not been made.

           SECTION  7.03.  Waivers.  The Company hereby expressly
waives  diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest,  any
requirement that any right or power be exhausted or any action be
taken  against  any  Designated Subsidiary or against  any  other
guarantor  of all or any portion of the Advances, and  all  other
notices and demands whatsoever.

           SECTION 7.04.  Remedies.  Each of the Lenders and  the
Agent  may  pursue its respective rights and remedies under  this
Article   VII   and  shall  be  entitled  to  payment   hereunder
notwithstanding  any other guarantee of all or any  part  of  the
Advances to the Designated Subsidiaries, and notwithstanding  any
action  taken by any such Lender or the Agent to enforce  any  of
its rights or remedies under such other guarantee, or any payment
received  thereunder.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives  any
claim or other right that it may now or hereafter acquire against
any   Designated  Subsidiary  that  arises  from  the  existence,
payment,  performance or enforcement of the Company's obligations
under  this Article VII, including, without limitation, any right
of   subrogation,  reimbursement,  exoneration,  contribution  or
indemnification  and any right to participate  in  any  claim  or
remedy  of  the  Agent  or  the Lenders  against  any  Designated
Subsidiary, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises  in
equity  or  under  contract, statute or  common  law,  including,
without  limitation,  the  right to  take  or  receive  from  the
Designated Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in cash  or  other
property  or  by  set-off  or in any  other  manner,  payment  or
security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any amount
shall  be  paid  to  the Company in violation  of  the  preceding
sentence at any time when all the Obligations shall not have been
paid  in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit
of  the Lenders and the Agent and shall forthwith be paid to  the
Agent  for  its  own account and the accounts of  the  respective
Lenders  to  be credited and applied to the Obligations,  whether
matured  or  unmatured,  in accordance with  the  terms  of  this
Agreement,  or  to be held as collateral for any  Obligations  or
other  amounts  payable under this Agreement thereafter  arising.
The Company acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits  from  the financing arrangements contemplated  by  this
Agreement  and  that  the waiver set forth  in  this  section  is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

           SECTION  7.05.  No Stay.  The Company agrees that,  as
between  (a) the Company and (b) the Lenders and the  Agent,  the
Obligations  of  any  Designated  Subsidiary  guaranteed  by  the
Company hereunder may be declared to be forthwith due and payable
as provided in Article VI hereof for purposes of this Article VII
by  declaration  to the Company as guarantor notwithstanding  any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration
as  against such Designated Subsidiary and that, in the event  of
such  declaration  to the Company as guarantor, such  Obligations
(whether  or  not due and payable by such Designated Subsidiary),
shall  forthwith  become  due  and payable  by  the  Company  for
purposes of this Article VII.

            SECTION  7.06.   Survival.   This  guarantee   is   a
continuing  guarantee  and shall (a) remain  in  full  force  and
effect until payment in full (after the Termination Date) of  the
Obligations  and all other amounts payable under  this  guaranty,
(b)  be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns, (c)
inure  to  the  benefit  of  and be enforceable  by  each  Lender
(including each Assuming Lender and each assignee Lender pursuant
to  Section  9.07) and the Agent and their respective successors,
transferees  and assigns and (d) shall be reinstated  if  at  any
time  any  payment to a Lender or the Agent hereunder is required
to be restored by such Lender or the Agent.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), each Lender may assign or
otherwise  transfer  its interest in any  Advance  to  any  other
person or entity, and such other person or entity shall thereupon
become  vested with all the rights in respect thereof granted  to
such Lender herein or otherwise.


                          ARTICLE VIII

                           THE AGENT

           SECTION 8.01.  Authorization and Action.  Each  Lender
hereby  appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action  as
agent  on  its behalf and to exercise such powers and  discretion
under  this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the  terms
hereof,  together  with  such  powers  and  discretion   as   are
reasonably  incidental thereto.  As to any matters not  expressly
provided  for  by this Agreement (including, without  limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall  not  be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be  required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected  in  so  acting or refraining  from  acting)  upon  the
instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall
be  binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes;  provided,
however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any  action
that  exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary
to this Agreement or applicable law.  The Agent agrees to give to
each  Lender  prompt notice of each notice given  to  it  by  any
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

           SECTION  8.02.   Agent's Reliance, Etc.   Neither  the
Agent  nor  any of its directors, officers, agents  or  employees
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or  them  under or in connection with this Agreement, except  for
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without
limitation  of  the  generality  of  the  foregoing,  the  Agent:
(a)  may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof  until
the  Agent  receives  and  accepts an Assignment  and  Acceptance
entered  into  by the Lender that is the payee of such  Note,  as
assignor,  and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided  in
Section  9.07;  (b)  may  consult with legal  counsel  (including
counsel  for  the  Company), independent public  accountants  and
other  experts  selected by it and shall not be  liable  for  any
action  taken  or  omitted to be taken in good  faith  by  it  in
accordance  with  the  advice  of such  counsel,  accountants  or
experts;  (c) makes no warranty or representation to  any  Lender
and  shall  not be responsible to any Lender for any  statements,
warranties or representations (whether written or oral)  made  in
or in connection with this Agreement; (d) shall not have any duty
to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of
any  of  the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement  on
the  part  of any Borrower or to inspect the property  (including
the  books  and  records)  of  any Borrower;  (e)  shall  not  be
responsible  to  any  Lender  for the  due  execution,  legality,
validity,  enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or  value  of
this  Agreement  or  any other instrument or  document  furnished
pursuant  hereto; and (f) shall incur no liability  under  or  in
respect  of  this  Agreement by acting upon any notice,  consent,
certificate  or  other instrument or writing  (which  may  be  by
telecopier,  telegram or telex) believed by it to be genuine  and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

           SECTION 8.03.  Citibank and Affiliates.  With  respect
to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Note issued to
it,  Citibank  shall have the same rights and powers  under  this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it  were not the Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall,
unless  otherwise expressly indicated, include  Citibank  in  its
individual  capacity.   Citibank and its  Affiliates  may  accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
accept  investment banking engagements from and generally  engage
in   any  kind  of  business  with,  the  Company,  any  of   its
Subsidiaries  and  any  Person who may do business  with  or  own
securities  of  the  Company or any such Subsidiary,  all  as  if
Citibank  were  not  the Agent and without any  duty  to  account
therefor to the Lenders.

           SECTION  8.04.  Lender Credit Decision.   Each  Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the  Agent  or  any  other  Lender and  based  on  the  financial
statements  referred to in Section 4.01 and such other  documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each  Lender
also   acknowledges  that  it  will,  independently  and  without
reliance  upon  the Agent or any other Lender and based  on  such
documents  and  information as it shall deem appropriate  at  the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or  not
taking action under this Agreement.

           SECTION 8.05.  Indemnification.  The Lenders agree  to
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower),
ratably  according  to the respective principal  amounts  of  the
Revolving  Credit  Notes then held by each  of  them  (or  if  no
Revolving  Credit  Notes are at the time outstanding  or  if  any
Revolving Credit Notes are held by Persons that are not  Lenders,
ratably   according   to   the  respective   amounts   of   their
Commitments),   from  and  against  any  and   all   liabilities,
obligations,  losses,  damages,  penalties,  actions,  judgments,
suits,  costs,  expenses or disbursements of any kind  or  nature
whatsoever  that  may  be imposed on, incurred  by,  or  asserted
against  the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of  this
Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under  this
Agreement,  provided  that no Lender  shall  be  liable  for  any
portion   of  such  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,  damages,
penalties,   actions,  judgments,  suits,  costs,   expenses   or
disbursements  resulting  from the Agent's  gross  negligence  or
willful  misconduct.  Without limitation of the  foregoing,  each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its
ratable  share  of any out-of-pocket expenses (including  counsel
fees)  incurred by the Agent in connection with the  preparation,
execution,  delivery, administration, modification, amendment  or
enforcement  (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings  or
otherwise)  of,  or  legal  advice  in  respect  of   rights   or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the  extent  that  the
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by a Borrower.

           SECTION 8.06.  Successor Agent.  The Agent may  resign
at  any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders  and
the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause
by  the Majority Lenders.  The Company may at any time, by notice
to  the  Agent, propose a successor Agent (which shall  meet  the
criteria  described below) specified in such notice  and  request
that the Lenders be notified thereof by the Agent with a view  to
their  removal  of  the  Agent  and  their  appointment  of  such
successor  Agent; the Agent agrees to forward any such notice  to
the  Lenders  promptly upon its receipt by the Agent.   Upon  any
such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have  the
right  to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall
have  been  so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall  have
accepted  such  appointment, within 30 days  after  the  retiring
Agent's  giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders'
removal  of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent  may,  on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall  be
a  commercial bank organized under the laws of the United  States
of  America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any
appointment  as  Agent  hereunder  by  a  successor  Agent,  such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all  the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the
retiring  Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged  from
its  duties  and  obligations under this  Agreement.   After  any
retiring  Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent,  the
provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as  to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
under this Agreement.

signed  by the Majority Lenders, and then such waiver or  consent
shall  be  effective only in the specific instance  and  for  the
specific  purpose  for which given; provided,  however,  that  no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and  signed
by  all  the Lenders, do any of the following:  (a) increase  the

Revolving  Credit  Notes  or any fees or  other  amounts  payable

(d) release the Company from any of its obligations under Article
VII  or (e) require the duration of an Interest Period to be nine

Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights  or
duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any Note.

           SECTION  9.02.  Notices, Etc.  All notices  and  other
communications  provided  for  hereunder  shall  be  in   writing

           SECTION 9.03.  No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the
part  of  any  Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no  delay  in
exercising,  any right hereunder or under any Note shall  operate
as  a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof  or
the  exercise  of any other right.  The remedies herein  provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

           SECTION  9.04.  Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The  Company
agrees  to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the  Agent  in
connection with the administration, modification and amendment of
this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder,  including, without limitation, (i) all due diligence,
syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings),
transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and
audit  expenses  and  (ii) the reasonable fees  and  expenses  of
counsel  for the Agent with respect thereto.  The Company further
agrees  to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent  and
the  Lenders,  if any (including, without limitation,  reasonable
counsel  fees  and expenses), in connection with the  enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of
this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder,  including, without limitation,  reasonable  fees  and
expenses  of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in  connection
with the enforcement of rights under this Section 9.04(a).

           (b)   Each  Borrower  agrees  to  indemnify  and  hold
harmless  the Agent and each Lender and each of their  Affiliates
and  their  officers, directors, employees, agents  and  advisors
(each,  an  "Indemnified Party") from and  against  any  and  all
claims,  damages,  losses, liabilities and  expenses  (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that
may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified
Party,  in each case arising out of or in connection with  or  by
reason  of, or in connection with the preparation for  a  defense
of,  any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out  of,
related  to or in connection with the Notes, this Agreement,  any
of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed
use  of  the  proceeds  of  the  Advances  whether  or  not  such
investigation,  litigation  or  proceeding  is  brought  by   the
Company,   its  directors,  shareholders  or  creditors   or   an
Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is
otherwise  a  party thereto and whether or not  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby are consummated, except to  the  extent  any
such  claim, damage, loss, liability or expense has resulted from
such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

           (c)  If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of,
any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is made by the
Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last
day  of  the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result  of  a
payment  or  Conversion  pursuant to  Section  2.03(d),  2.05(b),
2.09(a) or (b), 2.11 or 2.16, acceleration of the maturity of the
Notes  pursuant  to  Section 6.01 or for any  other  reason,  the
Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy  of  such
demand  to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account  of  such
Lender  any  amounts required to compensate such Lender  for  any
additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur
as  a  result  of such payment or Conversion, including,  without
limitation,  any  loss  (including loss of anticipated  profits),
cost  or  expense  incurred  by  reason  of  the  liquidation  or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to
fund or maintain such Advance.

           (d)   Without prejudice to the survival of  any  other
agreement   of   the  Borrower  hereunder,  the  agreements   and
obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13  and
9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and
all  other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes and  the
termination in whole of any Commitment hereunder.

            SECTION  9.05.   Right  of  Set-off.   Upon  (a)  the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and
(b)  the  making  of the request or the granting of  the  consent
specified  by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare  the
Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01,
each  Lender  and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized  at
any  time  and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by  law,  to  set off and apply any and all deposits (general  or
special,  time or demand, provisional or final) at any time  held
and  other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or  such
Affiliate  to  or for the credit or the account of  any  Borrower
against  any and all of the obligations of such Borrower  now  or
hereafter  existing under this Agreement and  the  Note  of  such
Borrower  held by such Lender, whether or not such  Lender  shall
have  made  any  demand under this Agreement  or  such  Note  and
although  such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender  agrees
promptly  to notify the relevant Borrower after any such  set-off
and  application, provided that the failure to give  such  notice
shall  not  affect the validity of such set-off and  application.
The  rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this  Section
are  in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation,  other rights of set-off) that such  Lender  and  its
Affiliates may have.

           SECTION  9.06.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement  shall
become effective (other than Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which  shall
only   become  effective  upon  satisfaction  of  the  conditions
precedent  set  forth in Section 3.01) when it  shall  have  been
executed  by  the Company and the Agent and when the Agent  shall
have  been  notified  by each Initial Lender  that  such  Initial
Lender  has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon  and
inure  to the benefit of each Borrower, the Agent and each Lender
and  their  respective  successors and assigns,  except  that  no
Borrower  shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder
or  any interest herein without the prior written consent of  the
Lenders.

           SECTION  9.07.   Assignments and Participations.   (a)
Each Lender may at any time, with notice to the Company prior  to
making  any  proposal  to any potential  assignee  and  with  the
consent  of  the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld  (and shall at any time, if requested to do  so  by  the
Company pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.10 or 2.13) assign to  one
or  more  Persons all or a portion of its rights and  obligations
under  this Agreement (including, without limitation,  all  or  a
portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to
it  and the Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) the Company's consent shall not be required (A)
in  the  case  of an assignment to an Affiliate of  such  Lender,
provided that notice thereof shall have been given to the Company
and  the  Agent, or (B) in the case of an assignment of the  type
described  in  subsection (g) below; (ii)  each  such  assignment
shall  be  of  a constant, and not a varying, percentage  of  all
rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any right
to  make Competitive Bid Advances, Competitive Bid Advances owing
to  it and Competitive Bid Notes); (iii) except in the case of an
assignment   to  a  Person  that,  immediately  prior   to   such
assignment,  was a Lender or an assignment of all of  a  Lender's
rights  and obligations under this Agreement, the amount  of  the
Commitment  of  the assigning Lender being assigned  pursuant  to
each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof; (iv) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee;  and  (v)  the  parties to each such  assignment  shall
execute  and  deliver  to  the  Agent,  for  its  acceptance  and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together
with  a  processing  and recordation fee of $3,000  and,  if  the
assigning  Lender  is not retaining a Commitment  hereunder,  any
Revolving  Credit  Note  subject to such assignment.   Upon  such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the
effective  date  specified  in each  Assignment  and  Acceptance,
(x)  the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to  the
extent  that rights and obligations hereunder have been  assigned
to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor
thereunder  shall,  to  the extent that  rights  and  obligations
hereunder  have  been assigned by it pursuant to such  Assignment
and  Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released  from  its
obligations  under  this  Agreement  (and,  in  the  case  of  an
Assignment  and Acceptance covering all or the remaining  portion
of  an  assigning  Lender's  rights and  obligations  under  this
Agreement,  such  Lender  shall  cease  to  be  a  party  hereto,
provided,  however,  that such assigning  Lender's  rights  under
Sections  2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its obligations under  Section
8.05, shall survive such assignment as to matters occurring prior
to the effective date of such assignment).

           (b)   By  executing and delivering an  Assignment  and
Acceptance,  the  Lender  assignor thereunder  and  the  assignee
thereunder  confirm to and agree with each other  and  the  other
parties  hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided  in  such
Assignment  and  Acceptance,  such  assigning  Lender  makes   no
representation  or  warranty and assumes no  responsibility  with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made  in
or  in connection with this Agreement or any other instrument  or
document  furnished  pursuant hereto or the execution,  legality,
validity,  enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or  value  of
this  Agreement  or  any other instrument or  document  furnished
pursuant   hereto;   (ii)   such  assigning   Lender   makes   no
representation  or  warranty and assumes no  responsibility  with
respect  to  the  financial condition  of  any  Borrower  or  the
performance  or  observance  by  such  Borrower  of  any  of  its
obligations  under  this  Agreement or any  other  instrument  or
document  furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms
that  it  has  received a copy of this Agreement,  together  with
copies  of  the financial statements referred to in Section  4.01
and  such  other  documents  and information  as  it  has  deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into  such  Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such  assignee  will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning
Lender  or  any  other  Lender and based on  such  documents  and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make  its  own  credit decisions in taking or not  taking  action
under  this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it  is  an
Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
Agent  to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such  powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated
to  the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers  and
discretion  as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii)  such
assignee  agrees  that it will perform in accordance  with  their
terms  all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement
are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

           (c)   Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that
it  is  an Eligible Assignee, together with any Revolving  Credit
Note  or  Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent  shall,  if
such  Assignment  and  Acceptance has been completed  and  is  in
substantially  the  form  of Exhibit C hereto,  (i)  accept  such
Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information  contained
therein  in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof  to
the  Company  and to each other Borrower.  Within  five  Business
Days after its receipt of such notice, each Borrower, at its  own
expense,  shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new  Revolving
Credit  Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee.   Each  such
new  Revolving Credit Note or Notes shall be dated the  effective
date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be  in
substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto.

           (d)   The Agent shall maintain at its address referred
to  in  Section  9.02  a copy of each Assignment  and  Acceptance
delivered  to  and  accepted  by  it  and  a  register  for   the
recordation  of  the names and addresses of the Lenders  and  the
Commitment  of,  and principal amount of the Advances  owing  to,
each  Lender from time to time (the "Register").  The entries  in
the  Register  shall be conclusive and binding for all  purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Company, each other Borrower,  the
Agent  and  the  Lenders  may treat each  Person  whose  name  is
recorded  in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all  purposes
of   this  Agreement.   The  Register  shall  be  available   for
inspection  by the Company, any other Borrower or any  Lender  at
any  reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable  prior
notice.

          (e)  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more
banks  or  other entities (other than the Company or any  of  its
Affiliates)  in  or  to  all  or a  portion  of  its  rights  and
obligations  under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
all  or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and
the  Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i)  such
Lender's  obligations  under this Agreement  (including,  without
limitation, its Commitment to the Company and the other Borrowers
hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall  remain
solely   responsible  to  the  other  parties  hereto   for   the
performance  of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall  remain
the  holder  of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement,
(iv)  the  Company, any other Borrower, the Agent and  the  other
Lenders  shall  continue to deal solely and  directly  with  such
Lender  in  connection with such Lender's rights and  obligations
under   this  Agreement,  (v)  no  participant  under  any   such
participation  shall have any right to approve any  amendment  or
waiver  of  any provision of this Agreement or any Note,  or  any
consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the
extent  that such amendment, waiver or consent would  reduce  the
principal  of,  or interest on, the Notes or any  fees  or  other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject  to
such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal  of,  or interest on, the Notes or any  fees  or  other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject  to
such  participation and (vi) within 30 days of the effective date
of  such participation, such Lender shall provide notice of  such
participation to the Company.

           (f)  Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment
or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant
to  this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or
proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the
Company or any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on  behalf
of  such  Borrower; provided that, prior to any such  disclosure,
the  assignee or participant or proposed assignee or  participant
shall  agree  to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information  relating to such Borrower received by it  from  such
Lender.

           (g)  Notwithstanding any other provision set forth  in
this  Agreement,  any Lender may at any time  create  a  security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and  the
Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance  with  Regulation A of the Board of Governors  of  the
Federal Reserve System.

             SECTION   9.08.    Designated   Subsidiaries.    (a)
Designation.  The Company may at any time, and from time to time,
by delivery to the Agent of a Designation Letter duly executed by
the  Company  and the respective Subsidiary and substantially  in
the  form  of  Exhibit E hereto, designate such Subsidiary  as  a
"Designated Subsidiary" for purposes of this Agreement  and  such
Subsidiary  shall thereupon become a "Designated Subsidiary"  for
purposes  of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all  of  the
rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder.  The Agent  shall
promptly  notify  each  Lender of each such  designation  by  the
Company and the identity of the respective Subsidiary.

           (b)  Termination.  Upon the payment and performance in
full  of  all  of  the indebtedness, liabilities and  obligations
under  this  Agreement and the Notes of any Designated Subsidiary
then,  so  long  as  at  the time no Notice of  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in  respect  of
such  Designated  Subsidiary  is outstanding,  such  Subsidiary's
status  as a "Designated Subsidiary" shall terminate upon  notice
to  such  effect from the Agent to the Lenders (which notice  the
Agent  shall give promptly upon its receipt of a request therefor
from  the  Company).  Thereafter, the Lenders shall be  under  no
further  obligation  to  make  any  Advance  hereunder  to   such
Designated Subsidiary.

           SECTION  9.09.  Confidentiality.  Each of the  Lenders
and  the  Agent hereby agrees that it will use reasonable efforts
(e.g.,  procedures substantially comparable to those  applied  by
such Lender or the Agent in respect of non-public information  as
to the business of such Lender or the Agent) to keep confidential
any  financial reports and other information from  time  to  time
supplied  to it by the Company hereunder to the extent that  such
information  is  not and does not become publicly  available  and
which  the  Company  indicates at  the  time  is  to  be  treated
confidentially,  provided,  however, that  nothing  herein  shall
affect the disclosure of any such information (i) by the Agent to
any  Lender,  (ii)  to  the  extent required  by  law  (including
statute, rule, regulation or judicial process), (iii) to  counsel
for  any  Lender or the Agent or to their respective  independent
public  accountants,  (iv)  to bank examiners  and  auditors  and
appropriate government examining authorities, (v) to the Agent or
any other Lender, (vi) in connection with any litigation to which
any  Lender  or  the  Agent  is  a  party,  (vii)  to  actual  or
prospective   assignees  and  participants  as  contemplated   by
Section  9.07(f) or (viii) to any Affiliate of the Agent  or  any
Lender  or  to  such Affiliate's officers, directors,  employees,
agents and advisors, provided that, prior to any such disclosure,
such   Affiliate   or   such  Affiliate's  officers,   directors,
employees, agents or advisors, as the case may be, shall agree to
preserve  the  confidentiality  of any  confidential  information
relating  to  the  Company received by it; a determination  by  a
Lender  or  the  Agent as to the application of the circumstances
described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(viii) being conclusive if
made  in good faith; and each of the Lenders and the Agent agrees
that  it  will follow procedures which are intended  to  put  any
transferee of such confidential information on notice  that  such
information is confidential.

           SECTION  9.10.  Mitigation of Yield Protection.   Each
Lender  hereby agrees that, commencing as promptly as practicable
after it becomes aware of the occurrence of any event giving rise
to the operation of Section 2.10(a), 2.11 or 2.13 with respect to
such  Lender,  such Lender will give notice thereof  through  the
Agent to the respective Borrower.  A Borrower may at any time, by
notice  through the Agent to any Lender, request that such Lender
change its Applicable Lending Office as to any Advance or Type of
Advance  or that it specify a new Applicable Lending Office  with
respect  to its Commitment and any Advance held by it or that  it
rebook any such Advance with a view to avoiding or mitigating the
consequences of an occurrence such as described in the  preceding
sentence,  and such Lender will use reasonable efforts to  comply
with  such  request unless, in the opinion of such  Lender,  such
change or specification or rebooking is inadvisable or might have
an  adverse effect, economic or otherwise, upon it, including its
reputation.   In  addition, each Lender agrees that,  except  for
changes  or  specifications  or rebookings  required  by  law  or
effected pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the result of any
change or change of specification of Applicable Lending Office or
rebooking  would, but for this sentence, be to impose  additional
costs  or  requirements upon the respective Borrower pursuant  to
Section 2.10(a), Section 2.11 or Section 2.13 (which would not be
imposed  absent  such  change  or  change  of  specification   or
rebooking)  by  reason  of  legal or regulatory  requirements  in
effect  at the time thereof and of which such Lender is aware  at
such  time, then such costs or requirements shall not be  imposed
upon  such  Borrower  but shall be borne  by  such  Lender.   All
expenses  incurred by any Bank in changing an Applicable  Lending
Office  or specifying another Applicable Lending Office  of  such
Lender  or rebooking any Advance in response to a request from  a
Borrower shall be paid by such Borrower.  Nothing in this Section
9.10  (including, without limitation, any failure by a Lender  to
give  any notice contemplated in the first sentence hereof) shall
limit,  reduce  or  postpone any obligations  of  the  respective
Borrower  under  Section 2.10(a), Section 2.11 or  Section  2.13,
including any obligations payable in respect of any period  prior
to  the  date of any change or specification of a new  Applicable
Lending Office or any rebooking of any Advance.

           SECTION 9.11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement and  the
Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York.

            SECTION  9.12.   Execution  in  Counterparts.    This
Agreement  may be executed in any number of counterparts  and  by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of  which
when  so  executed shall be deemed to be an original and  all  of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page  to  this
Agreement  by  telecopier shall be effective  as  delivery  of  a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

           SECTION  9.13.  Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)  Each  of  the
parties  hereto  hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction  of
any New York State court or federal court of the United States of
America  sitting in New York City, and any appellate  court  from
any  thereof,  in  any action or proceeding  arising  out  of  or
relating  to  this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition  or
enforcement  of  any  judgment, and each of  the  parties  hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims  in
respect  of  any  such  action or proceeding  may  be  heard  and
determined  in  any such New York State court or, to  the  extent
permitted  by  law,  in  such  federal  court.   Each  Designated
Subsidiary  hereby  agrees that service of process  in  any  such
action or proceeding brought in the any such New York State court
or  in  such federal court may be made upon CT Corporation System
at  its  offices at 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019  (the
"Process   Agent")   and   each  Designated   Subsidiary   hereby
irrevocably  appoints the Process Agent its authorized  agent  to
accept  such service of process, and agrees that the  failure  of
the  Process  Agent to give any notice of any such service  shall
not  impair  or  affect the validity of such service  or  of  any
judgment  rendered  in  any action or proceeding  based  thereon.
Each  Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service
of  process  in  any action or proceeding in such courts  by  the
mailing  thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified
mail,  postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address specified
pursuant to Section 9.02.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a  final  judgment  in  any such action or  proceeding  shall  be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit  on
the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing  in
this  Agreement  shall  affect  any  right  that  any  party  may
otherwise  have  to  serve  legal process  in  any  other  manner
permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this  Agreement  or the Notes in the courts of any  jurisdiction.
To  the  extent that each Designated Subsidiary has or  hereafter
may  acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or  from
any  legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment
prior  to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution  or
otherwise)   with  respect  to  itself  or  its  property,   each
Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably waives such immunity  in
respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

           (b)   Each  of  the  parties  hereto  irrevocably  and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally  and
effectively  do  so, any objection that it may now  or  hereafter
have  to  the  laying of venue of any suit, action or  proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in  any
New  York  State  or federal court.  Each of the  parties  hereto
hereby  irrevocably  waives, to the fullest extent  permitted  by
law,  the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance  of
such action or proceeding in any such court.

           SECTION  9.14.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each  Borrower,
the  Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waive all right  to
trial  by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether
based  on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Agent or any
Lender   in  the  negotiation,  administration,  performance   or
enforcement thereof.

          SECTION 9.15.  Final Agreement.  This written agreement
represents the full and final agreement between the parties  with
respect to the matters addressed herein and supercedes all  prior
communications, written or oral, with respect thereto.  There are
no unwritten agreements between the parties.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Agreement  to be executed by their respective officers  thereunto
duly authorized, as of the date first above written.

          The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest
and notice of any kind.  No failure to exercise, and no delay  in
exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof
shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

            This  promissory  note  shall  be  governed  by,  and

     authority  or administrative body are required in connection
     with   the  execution,  delivery  or  performance   by   the
     Designated Subsidiary of this Designation Letter,  the Five-
     Year  Credit  Agreement  or  the  Notes  of  the  Designated
     Subsidiary   except   for  such  authorizations,   consents,
     approvals,  licenses,  filings  or  registrations  as   have
     heretofore been made, obtained or effected and are  in  full
     force and effect.

           6.   The Designated Subsidiary is not, and immediately
     after  the application by the Designated Subsidiary  of  the
     proceeds  of  each Advance will not be, (a)  an  "investment
     company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
     1940,  as  amended,  or (b) a "holding company"  within  the
     meaning  of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of  1935,
     as amended.

                                   Very truly yours,

                  EXHIBIT G - FORM OF OPINION
                     OF VICTOR P. PATRICK,
           ASSISTANT GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY



                                                    June 30, 1995



To each of the Lenders parties
  to the Credit Agreement
  (as defined below),
  and to Citibank, N.A.,
  as Agent for said Lenders


                       AlliedSignal Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           This  opinion is furnished to you pursuant to  Section
3.01(e)(vi) of the Five-Year  Credit  Agreement dated as  of June
30, 1995  among  AlliedSignal  Inc. (the  "Company"), the Lenders
parties  thereto, Citibank, N.A., as Agent for  said Lenders, and
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
as  Co-Agents  (the  "Credit Agreement").   Terms  defined in the
Credit  Agreement  are,  unless  otherwise  defined  herein, used
herein as therein defined.

           I  have acted as counsel for the Company in connection
with  the  preparation,  execution and  delivery  of  the  Credit
Agreement.

          In that connection I have examined:

          (1)  The Credit Agreement.

          (2)  The documents furnished by the Company pursuant to
     Article   III   of  the  Credit  Agreement,  including   the
     Certificate  of  Incorporation  of  the  Company   and   all
     amendments  thereto (the "Charter") and the By-laws  of  the
     Company and all amendments thereto (the "By-laws").

           (3)   A  certificate of the Secretary of State of  the
     State  of  Delaware, dated June 12, 1995, attesting  to  the
     continued  corporate  existence and  good  standing  of  the
     Company in that State.

I  have  also examined the originals, or copies certified  to  my
satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company (including
resolutions  adopted by the Board of Directors of  the  Company),
certificates of public officials and of officers of the  Company,
and  agreements,  instruments and documents,  as  I  have  deemed
necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.   As
to  questions  of fact material to such opinions,  I  have,  when
relevant  facts were not independently established by me,  relied
upon  certificates of the Company or its officers  or  of  public
officials.   I  have  assumed  the due  execution  and  delivery,
pursuant  to  due authorization, of the Credit Agreement  by  the
Initial Lenders and the Agent.
           I  am  qualified to practice law in the State  of  New
York,  and  I  do not purport to be expert in, or to express  any
opinion  herein concerning, any laws other than the laws  of  the
State  of  New York, the General Corporation Law of the State  of
Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States.

          Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as
I have deemed necessary, I am of the following opinion:

           1.    The Company (a) is a corporation duly organized,
     validly existing and in good standing under the laws of  the
     State  of  Delaware,  (b)  is duly qualified  as  a  foreign
     corporation in each other jurisdiction in which it  owns  or
     leases  property  or in which the conduct  of  its  business
     requires  it  to so qualify or be licensed and (c)  has  all
     requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease  and
     operate its properties and to carry on its business  as  now
     conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

           2.    The execution, delivery and performance  by  the
     Company  of  the  Credit Agreement  and  the  Notes  of  the
     Company,   and   the   consummation  of   the   transactions
     contemplated  thereby,  are within the  Company's  corporate
     powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
     action, and do not (i) contravene the Charter or the By-laws
     or  (ii) violate any law (including, without limitation, the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Racketeer Influenced
     and  Corrupt  Organizations Chapter of the  Organized  Crime
     Control  Act of 1970), rule, regulation (including,  without
     limitation,  Regulation X of the Board of Governors  of  the
     Federal  Reserve  System)  or  any  material  order,   writ,
     judgment,  decree, determination or award or (iii)  conflict
     with  or  result in the breach of, or constitute  a  default
     under,  any  material indenture, loan or  credit  agreement,
     lease,  mortgage,  security agreement,  bond,  note  or  any
     similar document.  The Credit Agreement and the Notes of the
     Company  have been duly executed and delivered on behalf  of
     the Company.

           3.    No authorization, approval, or other action  by,
     and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority,
     administrative agency or regulatory body, or any third party
     is  required for the due execution, delivery and performance
     by  the Company of the Credit Agreement or the Notes of  the
     Company,   or  for  the  consummation  of  the  transactions
     contemplated thereby.

           4.    The  Credit Agreement is, and each Note  of  the
     Company  when delivered under the Credit Agreement will  be,
     the  legal,  valid  and binding obligation  of  the  Company
     enforceable  against  the Company in accordance  with  their
     respective  terms, except as the enforceability thereof  may
     be  limited  by  bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization  or
     moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement
     of  creditors'  rights generally or by  the  application  of
     general  principles of equity (regardless  of  whether  such
     enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
     law),  and  except that I express no opinion as to  (i)  the
     subject  matter jurisdiction of the District Courts  of  the
     United  States  of  America  to adjudicate  any  controversy
     relating to the Credit Agreement or the Notes of the Company
     or  (ii)  the  effect of the law of any jurisdiction  (other
     than the State of New York) wherein any Lender or Applicable
     Lending Office may be located or wherein enforcement of  the
     Credit  Agreement or the Notes of the Company may be  sought
     which  limits  rates of interest which  may  be  charged  or
     collected by such Lender.

            5.     There   is  no  action,  suit,  investigation,
     litigation or proceeding against the Company or any  of  its
     Subsidiaries  before  any  court,  governmental  agency   or
     arbitrator  now  pending or, to the best  of  my  knowledge,
     Threatened  that  is reasonably likely to  have  a  Material
     Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Litigation) or that
     purports  to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
     of  the  Credit Agreement or any Note of the Company or  the
     consummation  of the transactions contemplated thereby,  and
     there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial
     effect  on  the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,  of  the
     Disclosed Litigation from that described on Schedule 3.01(b)
     of the Credit Agreement.

           6.   The Company is not an "investment company" within
     the  meaning  of  the Investment Company  Act  of  1940,  as
     amended.

           7.   The Company is not a "holding company" within the
     meaning  of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of  1935,
     as amended.

           In  connection with the opinions expressed by me above
in  paragraph 4, I wish to point out that (i) provisions  of  the
Credit  Agreement  that permit the Agent or any  Lender  to  take
action  or  make determinations may be subject to  a  requirement
that  such  action be taken or such determinations be made  on  a
reasonable basis and in good faith, (ii) that a party to whom  an
advance is owed may, under certain circumstances, be called  upon
to prove the outstanding amount of the Advances evidenced thereby
and (iii) the rights of the Agent and the Lenders provided for in
Section 9.04(b) of the Credit Agreement may be limited in certain
circumstances.

           I am aware that Shearman & Sterling will rely upon the
opinions  set  forth  paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of  this  opinion  in
rendering   their   opinion   furnished   pursuant   to   Section
3.01(e)(vii) of the Credit Agreement.

                                   Very truly yours,



             EXHIBIT H - FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
                   TO A DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARY



                                               ____________, 19__



To each of the Lenders parties
  to the Credit Agreement
  (as defined below),
  and to Citibank, N.A., as Agent
  for said Lenders


Ladies and Gentlemen:

           In  my  capacity  as  counsel to _____________________
("Designated  Subsidiary"),  I  have  reviewed that certain Five-
Year   Credit   Agreement   dated  as  of  June  30,  1995  among
AlliedSignal Inc.,  the Lenders named therein, Citibank, N.A., as
Agent  for  such  Lenders,  and  ABN AMRO Bank  N.V.  and  Morgan 
Guaranty Trust Company of  New York,  as  Co-Agents  (the "Credit
Agreement").  In  connection  therewith, I have also examined the
following documents:

           (i)   The Designation Letter (as defined in the Credit
     Agreement) executed by the Designated Subsidiary.

               [such other documents as counsel may wish to refer
                to]

           I  have also reviewed such matters of law and examined
the original, certified, conformed or photographic copies of such
other  documents, records, agreements and certificates as I  have
considered relevant hereto.

           Except  as  expressly specified herein all terms  used
herein  and  defined  in  the Credit  Agreement  shall  have  the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

          Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

           1.    The  Designated Subsidiary (a) is a  corporation
     duly  incorporated, validly existing and  in  good  standing
     under  the  laws of _________________________, (b)  is  duly
     qualified  in each other jurisdiction in which  it  owns  or
     leases  property  or in which the conduct  of  its  business
     requires  it  to so qualify or be licensed and (c)  has  all
     requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease  and
     operate its properties and to carry on its business  as  now
     conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

           2.    The execution, delivery and performance  by  the
     Designated Subsidiary of its Designation Letter, the  Credit
     Agreement  and  its  Notes,  and  the  consummation  of  the
     transactions contemplated thereby, are within the Designated
     Subsidiary's corporate powers, have been duly authorized  by
     all  necessary  corporate action, and do not  and  will  not
     cause  or constitute a violation of any provision of law  or
     regulation  or  any material order, writ, judgment,  decree,
     determination or award or any provision of the charter or by-
     laws  or  other  constituent  documents  of  the  Designated
     Subsidiary  or  result in the breach  of,  or  constitute  a
     default  or  require any consent under,  or  result  in  the
     creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of  the
     properties, revenues, or assets of the Designated Subsidiary
     pursuant  to,  any material indenture or other agreement  or
     instrument to which the Designated Subsidiary is a party  or
     by  which the Designated Subsidiary or its property  may  be
     bound or affected.  The Designation Letter and each Note  of
     the   Designated  Subsidiary  has  been  duly  executed  and
     delivered on behalf of the Designated Subsidiary.

          3.   The Credit Agreement and the Designation Letter of
     the   Designated  Subsidiary  are,  and  each  Note  of  the
     Designated  Subsidiary  when  delivered  under  the   Credit
     Agreement  will be, the legal, valid and binding  obligation
     of  the Designated Subsidiary enforceable in accordance with
     their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof
     may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization  or
     moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement
     of  creditors'  rights generally or by  the  application  of
     general  principles of equity (regardless  of  whether  such
     enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
     law),  and  except that I express no opinion as to  (i)  the
     subject  matter jurisdiction of the District Courts  of  the
     United  States  of  America  to adjudicate  any  controversy
     relating to the Credit Agreement, the Designation Letter  of
     the  Designated  Subsidiary or the Notes of  the  Designated
     Subsidiary or (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction
     (other  than  the State of New York) wherein any  Lender  or
     Applicable   Lending  Office  may  be  located  or   wherein
     enforcement of the Credit Agreement, the Designation  Letter
     of  the Designated Subsidiary or the Notes of the Designated
     Subsidiary  may  be  sought which limits rates  of  interest
     which may be charged or collected by such Lender.

            4.     There   is  no  action,  suit,  investigation,
     litigation  or  proceeding at law or in  equity  before  any
     court, governmental agency or arbitration now pending or, to
     the  best of my knowledge and belief, Threatened against the
     Designated Subsidiary that is reasonably likely  to  have  a
     Material  Adverse  Effect or that  purports  to  affect  the
     legality,  validity  or enforceability  of  the  Designation
     Letter of the Designated Subsidiary, the Credit Agreement or
     any Note of the Designated Subsidiary or the consummation of
     the transactions contemplated thereby.

           5.   No authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses,
     filings   or  registrations  by  or  with  any  governmental
     authority  or administrative body are required for  the  due
     execution,   delivery  and  performance  by  the  Designated
     Subsidiary  of its Designation Letter, the Credit  Agreement
     or  the  Notes of the Designated Subsidiary except for  such
     authorizations,  consents, approvals, licenses,  filings  or
     registrations  as  have heretofore been  made,  obtained  or
     affected and are in full force and effect.

           6.    The  Designated Subsidiary is not an "investment
     company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
     1940, as amended.

           7.    The  Designated Subsidiary  is  not  a  "holding
     company"  within  the meaning of the Public Utility  Holding
     Company Act of 1935, as amended.

           In  connection with the opinions expressed by me above
in  paragraph 3, I wish to point out that (i) provisions  of  the
Credit  Agreement which permit the Agent or any  Lender  to  take
action  or  make determinations may be subject to  a  requirement
that  such  action be taken or such determinations be made  on  a
reasonable  basis  and in good faith, (ii) a  party  to  whom  an
advance is owed may, under certain circumstances, be called  upon
to prove the outstanding amount of the Advances evidenced thereby
and (iii) the rights of the Agent and the Lenders provided for in
Section 9.04(b) of the Credit Agreement may be limited in certain
circumstances.

                                   Very truly yours,



                  EXHIBIT I - FORM OF OPINION
                    OF SHEARMAN & STERLING,
                      COUNSEL TO THE AGENT


                        [S&S LETTERHEAD]




                         June 30, 1995


To the Lenders listed on
  Exhibit A hereto and
  to Citibank, N.A., as
  Agent


                       AlliedSignal Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           We  have acted as counsel to Citibank. N.A., as Agent,
in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the
Five-Year  Credit  Agreement, dated as  of  June  30,  1995  (the
"Credit Agreement"), among AlliedSignal Inc. (the "Company")  and
each  of  you.   Terms defined in the Credit Agreement  are  used
herein as therein defined.

           In  that  connection, we have examined  the  following
documents:

           (1)  Counterparts of the Credit Agreement, executed by
     each of the parties thereto.

          (2)  The documents furnished by the Company pursuant to
     Article III of the Credit Agreement and listed on Exhibit  B
     hereto,   including  the  opinion  of  Victor  P.   Patrick,
     Assistant General Counsel for the Company.

           In our examination of the documents referred to above,
we  have assumed the authenticity of all such documents submitted
to  us  as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the  due
authority  of  the  parties  executing  such  documents  and  the
conformity to the originals of all such documents submitted to us
as copies.  We have also assumed that each of the Lenders and the
Agent  has duly executed and delivered, with all necessary  power
and  authority  (corporate and otherwise), the Credit  Agreement.
To   the   extent  that  our  opinions  expressed  below  involve
conclusions as to the matters set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3
of  the  above-mentioned opinion of Victor P.  Patrick,  we  have
assumed without independent investigation the correctness of  the
matters set forth in such paragraphs.

           Based upon the foregoing examination of documents  and
assumptions  and upon such other investigation as we have  deemed
necessary, we are of the opinion that the Credit Agreement as  in
effect  on  the  date hereof is, and each of  the  Notes  of  the
Company  when delivered under the Credit Agreement will  be,  the
legal,  valid  and binding obligation of the Company  enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

            Our   above  opinion  is  subject  to  the  following
qualifications:

           (a)   Such opinion is subject to the effect of general
     principles   of   equity,  including  (without   limitation)
     concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
     dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law).

           (b)  Such opinion is also subject to the effect of any
     applicable   bankruptcy,  insolvency   (including,   without
     limitation,  all  laws  relating to  fraudulent  transfers),
     reorganization,   moratorium  or   similar   law   affecting
     creditors' rights generally.

          (c)  Such opinion is limited to the law of the State of
     New York and the Federal law of the United States, and we do
     not  express  any opinion herein concerning any  other  law.
     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express
     no  opinion  as to the effect of the law of any jurisdiction
     other  than  the  State of New York wherein  any  Lender  or
     Applicable   Lending  Office  may  be  located  or   wherein
     enforcement  of  the Credit Agreement or  any  Note  may  be
     sought which limits the rates of interest legally chargeable
     or collectible.

           A  copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any
Lender  to any financial institution in connection with,  and  at

               AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

           SECTION  2.01.   The  Revolving Credit  Advances.   Each  Lender
severally  agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter  set  forth,  to
make  Revolving Credit Advances to any Borrower from time to  time  on  any
Business  Day  during  the  period  from  the  Effective  Date  until   the
Termination Date in an aggregate amount (based in respect of any  Revolving
Credit Advance denominated in a Major Currency on the Equivalent in Dollars
on  any  such  Business  Day), not to exceed at any time  outstanding  such
Lender's  Commitment, provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments
of  the Lenders shall be deemed used from time to time to the extent of the
aggregate  amount  (based  in  respect  of  any  Competitive  Bid   Advance
denominated  in  a Foreign Currency on the Equivalent in  Dollars  at  such
time) of the Competitive Bid Advances then outstanding and such deemed  use
of  the  aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be allocated  among  the
Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments (such deemed  use
of  the  aggregate  amount  of the Commitments  being  a  "Competitive  Bid
Reduction").   Each  Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be  in  an  aggregate
amount  not less than $10,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in  any  Major
Currency) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent  thereof
in  any  Major  Currency) in excess thereof and shall consist of  Revolving
Credit  Advances  of  the same Type made on the same  day  by  the  Lenders
ratably according to their respective Commitments; provided, however,  that
if  there is no unused portion of the Commitment of one or more Lenders  at
the  time of any requested Revolving Credit Borrowing such Borrowing  shall
consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type made on the same  day
by  the  Lender  or  Lenders who do then have an unused  portion  of  their
Commitments  ratably according to the unused portion of  such  Commitments.
Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to the  contrary,  no  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  may be made in a Major Currency if, after giving effect  to  the
making of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Equivalent in Dollars of the
aggregate  amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances  denominated  in
Major  Currencies, together with the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate
amount  of  outstanding  Competitive Bid Advances  denominated  in  Foreign
Currencies, would exceed $110,000,000.  Within the limits of each  Lender's
Commitment,  any  Borrower  may  borrow under  this  Section  2.01,  prepay
pursuant to Section 2.09 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

           SECTION 2.02.  Making the Revolving Credit Advances.  (a)   Each
Revolving  Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not  later  than
(A)  10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the
date  of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving
Credit  Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances  denominated  in
any  Major  Currency,  (B) 11:00 A.M. (New York City  time)  on  the  third
Business  Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit  Borrowing
in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate
Advances  denominated in Dollars or (C) 9:00 A.M. (New York City  time)  on
the  day  of  the  proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in  the  case  of  a
Revolving  Credit  Borrowing  consisting of  Base  Rate  Advances,  by  any
Borrower  to  the  Agent,  which shall give to each  Lender  prompt  notice
thereof  by  telecopier or telex.  Each such notice of a  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing (a "Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing") shall be by telephone,
confirmed  immediately in writing, or telecopier or telex in  substantially
the  form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i)  date
of  such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising  such
Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing,  and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting
of  Eurocurrency  Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and  currency  for
each  such Revolving Credit Advance.  Each Lender shall, before 11:00  A.M.
(New  York City time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,  make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent (i)
in  the  case  of a Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars, at  its  address
referred  to  in  Section 9.02, in same day funds,  such  Lender's  ratable
portion  (as determined in accordance with Section 2.01) of such  Revolving
Credit  Borrowing  in Dollars, and (ii) in the case of a  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  in  a  Major  Currency, at the Payment  Office  for  such  Major
Currency  as  shall  have been notified by the Agent to the  Lenders  prior
thereto, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion (as determined in
accordance  with Section 2.01) of such Revolving Credit Borrowing  in  such
Major  Currency.   After  the  Agent's  receipt  of  such  funds  and  upon
fulfillment  of  the applicable conditions set forth in  Article  III,  the
Agent  will  make  such  funds  available to the  Borrower  requesting  the
Revolving  Credit  Borrowing at the Agent's aforesaid  address  or  at  the
applicable Payment Office, as the case may be.

           (b)     Anything  in  subsection  (a)  above  to  the   contrary
notwithstanding, a Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate  Advances  for
any proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing if the obligation of the Lenders to
make  Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances shall  then  be  suspended  pursuant  to
Section 2.08 or 2.11.

           (c)   Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing of any  Borrower
shall  be  irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.  In the  case  of  any
Revolving  Credit  Borrowing that the related Notice  of  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances,  the
Borrower  requesting such Revolving Credit Borrowing shall  indemnify  each
Lender  against  any loss, cost or expense incurred by  such  Lender  as  a
result  of  any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on or before  the  date
specified  in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such  Revolving
Credit  Borrowing  the  applicable conditions set  forth  in  Article  III,
including,  without  limitation, any loss (including  loss  of  anticipated
profits),  cost  or  expense  incurred by  reason  of  the  liquidation  or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the
Revolving  Credit  Advance  to  be made by such  Lender  as  part  of  such
Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a  result
of such failure, is not made on such date.

           (d)   Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a  Lender
prior  to the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender  will
not  make  available  to the Agent such Lender's ratable  portion  of  such
Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has  made
such  portion  available to the Agent on the date of such Revolving  Credit
Borrowing  in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02  and  the
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
proposing  such  Revolving Credit Borrowing on such  date  a  corresponding
amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made  such
ratable  portion  available to the Agent, such  Lender  and  such  Borrower
severally   agree  to  repay  to  the  Agent  forthwith  on   demand   such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from  the
date  such  amount is made available to such Borrower until the  date  such
amount  is  repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such  Borrower,  the
interest   rate  applicable  at  the  time  to  Revolving  Credit  Advances
comprising  such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) in the  case  of  such
Lender,  the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Lender shall repay to  the  Agent
such  corresponding  amount, such amount so repaid  shall  constitute  such
Lender's  Revolving  Credit  Advance  as  part  of  such  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

           (e)   The  failure  of any Lender to make the  Revolving  Credit
Advance  to  be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing  shall
not  relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to  make
its  Revolving  Credit  Advance  on  the  date  of  such  Revolving  Credit
Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any  other
Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender
on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

           SECTION  2.03.  The Competitive Bid Advances.  (a)  Each  Lender
severally  agrees that any Borrower may request Competitive Bid  Borrowings
under  this  Section 2.03 from time to time on any Business Day during  the
period  from the date hereof until the date occurring seven days  prior  to
the  Termination  Date  in  the  manner set  forth  below;  provided  that,
following  the  making  of  each Competitive Bid Borrowing,  the  aggregate
amount  (based in respect of any Advance denominated in a Foreign  Currency
on  the  Equivalent in Dollars on such Business Day) of the  Advances  then
outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the
Lenders  (computed  without  regard  to  any  Competitive  Bid  Reduction).
Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to  the  contrary,  no  Competitive  Bid
Borrowing may be made in a Foreign Currency if, after giving effect to  the
making of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Equivalent in Dollars of the
aggregate  amount  of outstanding Competitive Bid Advances  denominated  in
Foreign  Currencies,  together  with  the  Equivalent  in  Dollars  of  the
aggregate  amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances  denominated  in
Major Currencies, would exceed $110,000,000.

           (i)   Any Borrower may request a Competitive Bid Borrowing under
     this  Section 2.03 by delivering to the Agent, by telecopier or telex,

     Borrowing"),  in  substantially  the  form  of  Exhibit  B-2   hereto,
     specifying therein the requested (s) date of such proposed Competitive
     Bid  Borrowing, (t) aggregate amount of such proposed Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing,  (u)  interest  rate basis to be offered  by  the  Lenders,

     case  of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances,

     such  Competitive Bid Borrowing, or in the case of a  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  consisting  of  Fixed  Rate  Advances,  maturity  date  for
     repayment  of  each  Fixed Rate Advance to be made  as  part  of  such
     Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may not be earlier than
     the  date  occurring five days after the date of such Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  or  later than the Termination Date), (x) interest  payment
     date  or  dates  relating  thereto, (y) location  of  such  Borrower's
     account  to  which funds are to be advanced, and (z) other  terms  (if
     any)  to  be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing,  not  later
     than  10:00  A.M. (New York City time) (A) at least one  Business  Day
     prior  to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if  such
     Borrower shall specify in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that
     the  rates  of  interest to be offered by the Lenders shall  be  fixed
     rates  per  annum  (each Advance comprising any such  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing being referred to herein as a "Fixed Rate Advance") and that
     the  Advances comprising such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing shall
     be  denominated in Dollars, (B) at least four Business Days  prior  to
     the  date  of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Borrower
     shall instead specify in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing  that
     the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be either
     Fixed  Rate  Advances denominated in any Major Currency or  LIBO  Rate
     Advances denominated in Dollars or any Major Currency and (C) at least
     five  Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing,  if  such Borrower shall instead specify in its  Notice  of
     Competitive   Bid   Borrowing  that  the  Advances   comprising   such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  shall  be  either  Fixed  Rate   Advances
     denominated in an Alternate Currency or LIBO Rate Advances denominated
     in  an  Alternate Currency.  Each Notice of Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     shall  be  irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.   Any  Notice  of
     Competitive Bid Borrowing by a Designated Subsidiary shall be given to
     the  Agent  in  accordance  with the preceding  sentence  through  the
     Company  on behalf of such Designated Subsidiary.  The Agent shall  in
     turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid
     Borrowing received by it from such Borrower by sending such  Lender  a
     copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.

     Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     consisting  of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (B)  before
     10:00 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of
     such  proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive
     Bid Borrowing consisting of either Fixed Rate Advances denominated  in
     any Major Currency or LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars or any
     Major  Currency  and (C) before 10:00 A.M. (New York City  time)  four
     Business  Days  before  the  date  of such  proposed  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing,  in  the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting  of

     LIBO  Rate  Advances  denominated in an  Alternate  Currency,  of  the
     minimum  amount  and  maximum amount of each Competitive  Bid  Advance
     which  such  Lender would be willing to make as part of such  proposed
     Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts, or the Equivalent thereof in
     Dollars, as the case may be, may, subject to the proviso to the  first
     sentence of this Section 2.03(a), exceed such Lender's Commitment,  if
     any),  the  rate  or  rates  of interest therefor  and  such  Lender's
     Applicable  Lending  Office  with  respect  to  such  Competitive  Bid
     Advance; provided that if the Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall,
     in  its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify
     such Borrower of such offer at least 30 minutes before the time and on
     the  date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent
     by  the other Lenders.  If any Lender shall elect not to make such  an
     offer,  such  Lender  shall  so notify the Agent,  before  10:00  A.M.
     (New  York City time) on the date on which notice of such election  is
     to  be  given to the Agent by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall
     not  be  obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance
     as  part  of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided that the failure
     by  any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender  to  be
     obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed
     Competitive Bid Borrowing.

           (iii)      The  Borrower proposing the Competitive  Bid  Advance
     shall, in turn, (A) before 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date

                     (y)   accept  one or more of the offers  made  by  any
          Lender  or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, in its  sole
          discretion, by giving notice to the Agent of the amount  of  each
          Competitive  Bid  Advance (which amount  shall  be  equal  to  or
          greater  than the minimum amount, and equal to or less  than  the
          maximum amount, notified to such Borrower by the Agent on  behalf
          of  such  Lender  for  such Competitive Bid Advance  pursuant  to
          paragraph (ii) above) to be made by each Lender as part  of  such
          Competitive  Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers  made
          by  Lenders pursuant to paragraph (ii) above by giving the  Agent
          notice  to  that  effect; provided, however, that  such  Borrower
          shall  not accept any offer in excess of the requested bid amount
          for any maturity.  Such Borrower shall accept the offers made  by
          any  Lender or Lenders to make Competitive Bid Advances in  order
          of  the  lowest to the highest rates of interest offered by  such
          Lenders.   If two or more Lenders have offered the same  interest
          rate,  the  amount to be borrowed at such interest rate  will  be
          allocated  among  such Lenders in proportion to the  amount  that
          each such Lender offered at such interest rate.

           (iv)  If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     notifies  the  Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is  cancelled
     pursuant  to  paragraph (iii)(x) above, the Agent  shall  give  prompt
     notice thereof to the Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall
     not be made.

           (v)   If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     accepts  one  or  more  of the offers made by any  Lender  or  Lenders
     pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above, the Agent shall in turn promptly
     notify  (A)  each  Lender  that has made  an  offer  as  described  in
     paragraph  (ii)  above,  of  the date and  aggregate  amount  of  such
     Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers  made
     by  such Lender pursuant to paragraph (ii) above have been accepted by
     the  Borrower,  (B)  each  Lender that is to make  a  Competitive  Bid
     Advance  as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the  amount  of
     each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing, and (C) each Lender that  is  to  make  a
     Competitive  Bid  Advance as part of such Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,
     upon receipt, that the Agent has received forms of documents appearing
     to  fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.   Each
     Lender  that  is  to make a Competitive Bid Advance as  part  of  such
     Competitive  Bid  Borrowing shall, before 12:00 noon  (New  York  City
     time)  on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in  the
     notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding
     sentence or any later time when such Lender shall have received notice
     from  the Agent pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, make
     available  for  the account of its Applicable Lending  Office  to  the
     Agent  (x)  in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing in Dollars,  at
     its  address  referred  to in Section 9.02, in same  day  funds,  such
     Lender's portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in Dollars, and (y)
     in  the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing in a Foreign Currency,  at
     the  Payment  Office  for such Foreign Currency  as  shall  have  been
     notified by the Agent to the Lenders prior thereto, in same day funds,
     such  Lender's  portion  of such Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  in  such
     Foreign  Currency.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions  set
     forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the
     Agent will make such funds available to such Borrower's account at the
     location  specified by such Borrower in its Notice of Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing.   Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing  the  Agent
     will  notify  each  Lender  of  the amount  of  such  Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon
     which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.

           (vi)  If  the  Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid  Borrowing
     notifies the Agent that it accepts one or more of the offers  made  by
     any  Lender  or  Lenders pursuant to paragraph  (iii)(y)  above,  such
     notice  of  acceptance  shall  be  irrevocable  and  binding  on  such
     Borrower.  Such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss,
     cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure  by
     such  Borrower  to  fulfill on or before the  date  specified  in  the
     related  Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive  Bid
     Borrowing  the  applicable  conditions  set  forth  in  Article   III,
     including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated
     profits),  cost  or expense incurred by reason of the  liquidation  or
     reemployment  of deposits or other funds acquired by  such  Lender  to
     fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part  of
     such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a
     result of such failure, is not made on such date.

           (b)   Each  Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in  an  aggregate
amount  not less than $10,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign
Currency) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent  thereof
in  any  Foreign Currency) in excess thereof and, following the  making  of
each  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing,  the Borrower  that  has  borrowed  such
Competitive  Bid Borrowing shall be in compliance with the  limitation  set
forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) above.

           (c)   Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in  this
Section  2.03,  any  Borrower  may from time  to  time  borrow  under  this
Section  2.03,  repay  or  prepay pursuant to  subsection  (d)  below,  and
reborrow under this Section 2.03, provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing
shall  not  be  made within three Business Days of the date  of  any  other
Competitive Bid Borrowing.

           (d)   Any  Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive  Bid
Borrowing shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender that  has
made  a  Competitive Bid Advance, on the maturity date of such  Competitive
Bid  Advance (such maturity date being that specified by such Borrower  for
repayment  of  such  Competitive  Bid Advance  in  the  related  Notice  of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and
provided  in  the  Competitive  Bid Note evidencing  such  Competitive  Bid
Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance.
Such  Borrower  shall have no right to prepay any principal amount  of  any
Competitive  Bid Advance unless, and then only on the terms,  specified  by
such  Borrower  for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related  Notice  of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and
set  forth  in  the  Competitive Bid Note evidencing such  Competitive  Bid
Advance.

           (e)   Each Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive  Bid
Borrowing  shall  pay  interest  on the unpaid  principal  amount  of  each
Competitive Bid Advance comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing from  the
date  of  such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount  of
such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for
such   Competitive  Bid  Advance  specified  by  the  Lender  making   such
Competitive  Bid  Advance  in  its notice with  respect  thereto  delivered
pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above, payable on the interest payment  date
or dates specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the
related   Notice  of  Competitive  Bid  Borrowing  delivered  pursuant   to
subsection (a)(i) above, as provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing
such  Competitive  Bid  Advance.   Upon  the  occurrence  and  during   the
continuance  of  an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a),  such  Borrower
shall  pay  interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and  interest  on
each  Competitive Bid Advance owing to a Lender, payable in arrears on  the
date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal at all
times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on  such
Competitive  Bid  Advance  under the terms  of  the  Competitive  Bid  Note
evidencing  such Competitive Bid Advance unless otherwise  agreed  in  such
Competitive Bid Note.

           (f)   The  indebtedness  of  any Borrower  resulting  from  each
Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower as part of a Competitive  Bid
Borrowing  shall  be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid  Note  of  the
Borrower  payable  to the order of the Lender making such  Competitive  Bid
Advance.

           SECTION 2.04.  Fees.  (a)  Facility Fee.  The Company agrees  to
pay  to  the  Agent for the account of each Lender a facility  fee  on  the
aggregate  amount of such Lender's Commitment from the date hereof  in  the
case  of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified  in  the
Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Acceptance, as the case may  be,
pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until
the  Termination  Date at the rate of .065% per annum, payable  in  arrears
quarterly  on  the  last day of each March, June, September  and  December,
commencing September 30, 1995, and on the Termination Date.

           (b)   Agent's Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Agent for  its
own  account such fees, and at such times, as set forth in the letter dated
June 6, 1995 between the Company and the Agent.

            SECTION  2.05.   Termination,  Reduction  or  Increase  of  the
Commitments.   (a)   Ratable Termination or Reduction.  The  Company  shall
have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent,  to
terminate  in  whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions  of  the
respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction
shall  be  in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an  integral
multiple  of  $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided  further  that  the
aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced  to
an  amount  that is less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount  of
the  Competitive Bid Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding  plus
the  Equivalent  in  Dollars  of  the aggregate  principal  amount  of  the
Competitive   Bid   Advances  denominated  in   Foreign   Currencies   then
outstanding.   The  aggregate amount of the Commitments,  once  reduced  as
provided in this Section 2.05(a), may not be reinstated, except as provided
in Section 2.05(e) below.

           (b)   Non-Ratable Termination by Assignment.  The Company  shall
have  the  right, upon at least ten Business Days' written  notice  to  the
Agent (which shall then give prompt notice thereof to the relevant Lender),
to  require  any Lender to assign, pursuant to and in accordance  with  the
provisions  of Section 9.07, all of its rights and obligations  under  this
Agreement  and  under  the Notes to an Eligible Assignee  selected  by  the
Company;  provided,  however,  that (i) no  Event  of  Default  shall  have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such request and at the  time  of
such  assignment; (ii) the assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender
the  aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid  to
the date of such assignment on, the Note or Notes of such Lender; (iii) the
Company  shall have paid to the assigning Lender any and all facility  fees
and  other  fees  payable to such Lender and all other accrued  and  unpaid
amounts  owing  to  such  Lender  under any  provision  of  this  Agreement
(including,  but  not limited to, any increased costs or  other  additional
amounts  owing under Section 2.10 and any indemnification for  Taxes  under
Section 2.13) as of the effective date of such assignment; and (iv) if  the
assignee  selected by the Company is not an existing Lender, such  assignee
or  the Company shall have paid the processing and recordation fee required
under  Section  9.07(a)  for  such assignment; provided  further  that  the
Company  shall  have  no right to replace more than three  Lenders  in  any
calendar  year pursuant to this Section 2.05(b); and provided further  that
the  assigning Lender's rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and  its
obligations under Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment as to matters
occurring prior to the date of assignment.

           (c)   Non-Ratable Reduction.  (i)  The Company  shall  have  the
right,  at any time other than during any Rating Condition, upon  at  least
ten  Business  Days'  notice to a Lender (with a copy  to  the  Agent),  to
terminate  in  whole  such Lender's Commitment (determined  without  giving
effect  to  any  Competitive  Bid Reduction).  Such  termination  shall  be
effective, (i) with respect to such Lender's unused Commitment, on the date
set  forth  in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall  be  no
earlier  than ten Business Days after receipt of such notice and (ii)  with
respect to each Advance outstanding to such Lender, on the last day of  the
then  current  Interest Period relating to such Advance; provided  further,
however,  that  such termination shall not be effective, if,  after  giving
effect  to such termination, the Company would, under this Section 2.05(c),
reduce the Lenders' Commitments in any calendar year by an amount in excess
of  the  Commitments  of  any  three Lenders or $90,000,000,  whichever  is
greater  on  the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding  the  preceding
proviso, the Company may terminate in whole the Commitment of any Lender in
accordance  with  the  terms and conditions set forth in  Section  2.05(b).
Upon  termination of a Lender's Commitment under this Section 2.05(c),  the
Company will pay or cause to be paid all principal of, and interest accrued
to  the date of such payment on, Advances owing to such Lender and pay  any
facility  fees  or  other  fees  payable to such  Lender  pursuant  to  the
provisions  of Section 2.04, and all other amounts payable to  such  Lender
hereunder  (including,  but not limited to, any increased  costs  or  other
amounts  owing under Section 2.10 and any indemnification for  Taxes  under
Section  2.13);  and  upon such payments, the obligations  of  such  Lender
hereunder  shall,  by  the provisions hereof, be released  and  discharged;
provided, however, that such Lender's rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13  and
9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05 shall survive such release and
discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date.  The aggregate amount
of  the  Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to  this  Section
2.05(c) may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.05(e) below.

           (ii) For purposes of this Section 2.05(c) only, the term "Rating
Condition" shall mean a period commencing with notice (a "Rating  Condition
Notice") by the Agent to the Company and the Lenders to the effect that the
Agent  has been informed that the rating of the senior public Debt  of  the
Company  is  unsatisfactory  under the  standard  set  forth  in  the  next
sentence,  and  ending  with notice by the Agent to  the  Company  and  the
Lenders  to  the  effect that such condition no longer exists.   The  Agent
shall give a Rating Condition Notice promptly upon receipt from the Company
or  any  Lender of notice stating, in effect, that both of S&P and  Moody's
(or  any  successor  by merger or consolidation to the business  of  either
thereof),  respectively, then rate the senior public Debt  of  the  Company
lower  than BBB and Baa2.  The Company agrees to give notice to  the  Agent
forthwith  upon any change in a rating by either such organization  of  the
senior  public Debt of the Company; the Agent shall have no duty whatsoever
to verify the accuracy of any such notice from the Company or any Lender or
to  monitor  independently the ratings of the senior  public  Debt  of  the
Company  and  no Lender shall have any duty to give any such  notice.   The
Agent  shall  give  notice  to  the Lenders  and  the  Company  as  to  the
termination of a Rating Condition promptly upon receiving a notice from the
Company to the Agent (which notice the Agent shall promptly notify  to  the
Lenders)  stating that the rating of the senior public Debt of the  Company
does  not meet the standard set forth in the second sentence of this clause
(ii) and requesting that the Agent notify the Lenders of the termination of
the Rating Condition.  The Rating Condition shall terminate upon the giving
of such notice by the Agent.

           (d)   Termination by a Lender.  In the event that  a  Change  of
Control  occurs, each Lender may, by notice to the Company  and  the  Agent
given  not  later  than  50  calendar days after such  Change  of  Control,
terminate its Commitment, which Commitment shall be terminated effective as
of  the later of (i) the date that is 60 calendar days after such Change of
Control  or (ii) the end of the Interest Period for any Advance outstanding
at  the time of such Change of Control or for any Advance made pursuant  to
the next sentence of this Section 2.05(d).  Upon the occurrence of a Change
of  Control, each Borrower's right to make a Borrowing under this Agreement
shall  be  suspended for a period of 60 calendar days, except for  Advances
having an interest period ending not later than 90 calendar days after such
Change  of  Control.   A  notice of termination pursuant  to  this  Section
2.05(d)  shall not have the effect of accelerating any outstanding  Advance
of such Lender and the Notes of such Lender.

           (e)  Increase in Aggregate of the Commitments.  (i)  The Company
may  at any time, by notice to the Agent, propose that the aggregate amount
of the Commitments be increased (such aggregate amount being, a "Commitment
Increase") up to $150,000,000 in excess of the aggregate of the Commitments
as  of  the Effective Date, effective as at a date prior to the Termination
Date  (the  "Increase Date") as to which agreement is to be reached  by  an
earlier  date  specified in such notice (the "Commitment Date");  provided,
however,  that  (A) the Company may not propose more than three  Commitment
Increases  during the 364-day period that this Agreement is in effect,  (B)
the  minimum  proposed Commitment Increase per notice shall be $30,000,000,
(C)  in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any  time
exceed  $525,000,000  and  (D)  no  Default  shall  have  occurred  and  be
continuing  on  such  Increase Date.  The Agent shall  notify  the  Lenders
thereof  promptly  upon its receipt of any such notice.  The  Agent  agrees
that it will cooperate with the Company in discussions with the Lenders and
other  Eligible Assignees with a view to arranging the proposed  Commitment
Increase  through the increase of the Commitments of one  or  more  of  the
Lenders  (each  such  Lender  that is willing to  increase  its  Commitment
hereunder  being, an "Increasing Lender") and the addition of one  or  more
other  Eligible  Assignees  as Assuming Lenders  and  as  parties  to  this
Agreement;  provided,  however, that it shall  be  in  each  Lender's  sole
discretion whether to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection  with
the  proposed Commitment Increase; and provided further, that  the  minimum
Commitment  of  each  such Assuming Lender that becomes  a  party  to  this
Agreement  pursuant to this Section 2.05(e), shall be  at  least  equal  to
$10,000,000.   If  agreement is reached on or prior to the Commitment  Date
with  any  Increasing  Lenders and Assuming  Lenders  as  to  a  Commitment
Increase  (which  may be less than but not greater than  specified  in  the
applicable  notice from the Company), such agreement to be evidenced  by  a
notice  in reasonable detail from the Company to the Agent on or  prior  to
the  Commitment  Date, such Assuming Lenders, if any, shall become  Lenders
hereunder  as  of the Increase Date and the Commitments of such  Increasing
Lenders  and such Assuming Lenders shall become or be, as the case may  be,
as  of  the  Increase Date, the amounts specified in such notice;  provided
that:

           (x)  the Agent shall have received (with copies for each Lender,
     including each such Assuming Lender) by no later than 10:00 A.M.  (New
     York City time) on the Increase Date (A) an opinion of counsel for the
     Company  in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto and an  opinion
     of  counsel  for  each other Borrower substantially  in  the  form  of
     Exhibit  H  hereto, each dated such Increase Date,  and  (B)  a  copy,
     certified  on  the  Increase  Date  by  the  Secretary,  an  Assistant
     Secretary  or  a  comparable  official  of  each  Borrower,   of   the
     resolutions  adopted  by  the  Board of  Directors  of  such  Borrower
     authorizing such Commitment Increase;

          (y)   each such Assuming Lender shall have delivered to the Agent,
     by no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date,
     an  appropriate  Assumption  Agreement in substantially  the  form  of
     Exhibit  D  hereto,  duly  executed by such Assuming  Lender  and  the
     Company; and

          (z)   each  such Increasing Lender shall have delivered  to  the
     Agent  by,  no  later  than 10:00 A.M. (New York  City  time)  on  the
     Increase Date, confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Agent as to
     its increased Commitment.

           (ii)  In the event that the Agent shall have received notice from
the Company as to its agreement to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the
Commitment Date and each of the actions provided for in clauses (x) through
(z)  above shall have occurred prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time)  on
the  Increase Date to the satisfaction of the Agent, the Agent shall notify
the  Lenders  (including  any Assuming Lenders)  and  the  Company  of  the
occurrence  of  such  Commitment Increase by  telecopier,  telex  or  cable
promptly  and in any event no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time)  on
the Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information
with  respect to each Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender.   Within  five
Business  Days  after  its  receipt of such notice  from  the  Agent,  each
Borrower,  at  its  own expense, shall execute and deliver  to  the  Agent,
Revolving  Credit  Notes payable to the order of each Assuming  Lender,  if
any, dated as of the Increase Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1  hereto.  The Agent, upon receipt of such Revolving Credit Notes, shall
promptly  deliver  such Revolving Credit Notes to the  respective  Assuming
Lenders.

           (iii) In  the event that the Agent shall not have  received
notice  from the Company as to such agreement on or prior to the Commitment
Date  or  the  Company shall, by notice to the Agent prior to the  Increase
Date, withdraw its proposal for a Commitment Increase or any of the actions
provided for above in clauses (i)(x) through (i)(z) shall not have occurred
by  10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, such proposal  by
the  Company  shall be deemed not to have been made.  In  such  event,  any
actions  theretofore taken under clauses (i)(x) through (i)(z) above  shall
be  deemed  to  be of no effect and all the rights and obligations  of  the
parties shall continue as if no such proposal had been made.

           SECTION  2.06.   Repayment of Revolving Credit  Advances.   Each
Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on
the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Advances then outstanding in respect of such Borrower.

           SECTION  2.07.   Interest  on Revolving  Credit  Advances.   (a)
Scheduled  Interest.   Each  Borrower shall  pay  interest  on  the  unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to
each  Lender  from  the date of such Revolving Credit  Advance  until  such
principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

           (i)   Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Revolving
     Credit  Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at  all
     times  to  the  Base  Rate in effect from time to  time,   payable  in
     arrears  quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September  and
     December  during such periods and on the date such Base  Rate  Advance
     shall be paid in full.

           (ii)  Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  During such periods  as  such
     Revolving  Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a  rate  per
     annum  equal  at  all  times  during each  Interest  Period  for  such
     Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency  Rate  for
     such Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) .185%,
     payable  in  arrears on the last day of such Interest Period  and,  if
     such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each
     day  that  occurs during such Interest Period every three months  from
     the   first  day  of  such  Interest  Period  and  on  the  date  such
     Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

           (b)   Default  Interest.   Upon the occurrence  and  during  the
continuance  of  an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a),  each  Borrower

Credit Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender, payable in arrears on
the  dates  referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at  a  rate  per
annum  equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required
to  be  paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i)  or
(a)(ii)  above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the  amount
of  any  interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder by  such  Borrower
that  is  not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be  due  until
such  amount  shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on  the  date  such

           SECTION 2.08.  Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  Each Reference
Bank  agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose  of
determining each Eurocurrency Rate and each LIBO Rate.  If any one or  more
of  the  Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information  to  the
Agent  for  the  purpose of determining any such interest rate,  the  Agent
shall  determine  such  interest rate on the basis  of  timely  information
furnished  by the remaining Reference Banks.  The Agent shall  give  prompt
notice  to  the  Company  and the Lenders of the applicable  interest  rate
determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and the
rate,  if  any,  furnished  by  each Reference  Bank  for  the  purpose  of
determining the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii).

           (b)   If,  with  respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances,  the
Majority  Lenders  notify  the Agent that the  Eurocurrency  Rate  for  any
Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the  cost  to
such  Majority  Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their  respective
Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances  for such Interest  Period,  the  Agent  shall
forthwith  so  notify  each Borrower and the Lenders,  whereupon  (i)  such
Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances  will (to the extent  such  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances remain outstanding on such day) automatically, on the last day  of
the  then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances  are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate  Advances
and  (B)  if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in  any  Major
Currency,  be  redenominated  into  an Equivalent  amount  of  Dollars  and
Converted  into Base Rate Advances, and (ii) the obligation of the  Lenders
to   make  Eurocurrency  Rate  Advances  in  the  same  currency  as   such
Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall  notify
each   Borrower  and  the  Lenders  that  the  circumstances  causing  such
suspension no longer exist.

           (c)  If any Borrower, in requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing
comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall fail to select the  duration
of  the  Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances in  accordance
with  the  provisions contained in the definition of "Interest  Period"  in
Section  1.01,  the  Agent will forthwith so notify the  Borrower  and  the
Lenders  and  such  Advances  will (to the extent  such  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances remain outstanding on such day) automatically, on the last day  of
the  then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances  are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate  Advances
and  (ii)  if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any  Major
Currency,  be  redenominated  into  an Equivalent  amount  of  Dollars  and
Converted into Base Rate Advances.

           (d)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of  Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance  will
(to  the extent such Eurocurrency Rate Advance remains outstanding on  such
day)  automatically, on the last day of the then existing  Interest  Period
therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in  Dollars,
be  Converted  into  a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency  Rate
Advance  is  denominated in any Major Currency, be  redenominated  into  an
Equivalent  amount of Dollars and Converted into a Base  Rate  Advance  and
(ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall
be suspended.

          (e)  If fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information
to  the  Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate  for  any
Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,

          (i)   the Agent shall forthwith notify the relevant Borrower  and
     the  Lenders  that  the interest rate cannot be  determined  for  such
     Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances,  as the case may be,

          (ii)   with  respect  to Eurocurrency Rate  Advances,  each  such
     Advance  will  (to the extent such Eurocurrency Rate  Advance  remains
     outstanding  on such day) automatically, on the last day of  the  then
     existing  Interest  Period  therefor, (A) if  such  Eurocurrency  Rate
     Advance  is  denominated in Dollars, be Converted  into  a  Base  Rate
     Advance  and  (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated  in
     any  Major  Currency,  be redenominated into an Equivalent  amount  of
     Dollars and Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance  is
     then a Base Rate Advance,  will continue as a  Base Rate Advance), and

          (iii)     the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate
     Advances  or  LIBO Rate Advances shall be suspended  until  the  Agent
     shall  notify  the  Borrowers and the Lenders that  the  circumstances
     causing such suspension no longer exist.

           SECTION  2.09.  Prepayments of Revolving Credit  Advances.   (a)
Optional Prepayments.  Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent  stating
the  proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment,  given
not  later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business  Day
prior  to the date of such proposed prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency
Rate  Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time)  on  the
day of such proposed prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, and, if
such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal
amount  of  the  Revolving  Credit Advances comprising  part  of  the  same
Revolving  Credit  Borrowing in whole or ratably  in  part,  together  with
accrued  interest  to the date of such prepayment on the  principal  amount
prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an
aggregate  principal  amount not less than $10,000,000  or  the  Equivalent
thereof in a Major Currency (determined on the date notice of prepayment is
given) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or the Equivalent thereof in a
Major  Currency (determined on the date notice of prepayment is  given)  in
excess  thereof  and  (y)  in  the  event  of  any  such  prepayment  of  a
Eurocurrency Rate Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor,  such  Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse  the  Lenders  in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).  Each notice of prepayment  by
a  Designated Subsidiary shall be given to the Administrative Agent through
the Company.

          (b)  Mandatory Prepayments.  (i)  If, on any date, the sum of (A)
the  aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then
outstanding  plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate  principal
amount  of  all Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding
exceeds 103% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date,  the
Company  and  each other Borrower, if any, shall thereupon promptly  prepay
the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by such Borrower  in
an  aggregate  amount sufficient to reduce such sum to  an  amount  not  to
exceed  100%  of  the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders  on  such  date,
together  with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment  on  the
principal  amounts  prepaid  and,  in the  case  of  any  prepayment  of  a
Eurocurrency  Rate  Advance or a LIBO Rate Advance, any additional  amounts
which  such  Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse  to  the  Lenders  in
respect  thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).  The Agent shall give  prompt
notice  of  any  prepayment required under this Section 2.09(b)(i)  to  the
Borrowers and the Lenders.

          (ii) If, on any date, the sum of (A) the Equivalent in Dollars of
the   aggregate   principal  amount  of  all  Eurocurrency  Rate   Advances
denominated in Major Currencies then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in
Dollars  of  the  aggregate  principal amount of  all  LIBO  Rate  Advances
denominated   in   Foreign  Currencies  then  outstanding,   shall   exceed
$110,000,000,  the  Company  and  each  other  Borrower  shall  prepay  the
outstanding principal amount of any such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or  any
such  LIBO  Rate Advances owing by such Borrower, on the last  day  of  the
Interest  Periods  relating  to  such  Advances,  in  an  aggregate  amount
sufficient  to  reduce  such sum to an amount not to  exceed  $100,000,000,
together  with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment  on  the
principal  amounts  prepaid.  The Agent shall give  prompt  notice  of  any
prepayment required under this Section 2.09(b)(ii) to the Borrowers and the
Lenders.

           SECTION 2.10.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either (i)  the
introduction  of or any change in or in the interpretation of  any  law  or
regulation  or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request  from  any
central  bank  or other governmental authority (whether or not  having  the
force  of  law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any  Lender  of
agreeing  to  make  or  making,  funding or maintaining  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advances or LIBO Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10
any  such  increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes  (as  to
which  Section 2.13 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation
of  overall net income or overall gross income by the United States  or  by
the  foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such  Lender  is
organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
thereof), then the Borrower of such Advances shall from time to time,  upon
demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the
Agent  for  the  account  of such Lender additional amounts  sufficient  to
compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate  as  to  the
amount of such increased cost, submitted to such Borrower and the Agent  by
such  Lender,  shall  be conclusive and binding for  all  purposes,  absent
manifest error.

           (b)   If any Lender determines that compliance with any  law  or
regulation  or  any  guideline or request from any central  bank  or  other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects  or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such  Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount
of  such  capital  is  increased by or based upon  the  existence  of  such
Lender's  commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this  type,
then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent),
the  Company  shall pay to the Agent for the account of such  Lender,  from
time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient  to
compensate  such  Lender  or  such  corporation  in  the  light   of   such
circumstances,  to the extent that such Lender reasonably  determines  such
increase  in  capital  to be allocable to the existence  of  such  Lender's
commitment  to lend hereunder.  A certificate as to such amounts  submitted
to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error.

           (c)  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant
to  this  Section  2.10  shall, upon the written  request  of  the  Company
delivered  to  such  Lender  and the Agent,  assign,  pursuant  to  and  in
accordance  with  the provisions of Section 9.07, all  of  its  rights  and
obligations  under  this  Agreement and under  the  Notes  to  an  Eligible
Assignee  selected by the Company; provided, however, that (i)  no  Default
shall  have occurred and be continuing at the time of such request  and  at
the  time  of  such assignment; (ii) the assignee shall have  paid  to  the
assigning  Lender  the  aggregate principal amount  of,  and  any  interest
accrued and unpaid to the date of such assignment on, the Note or Notes  of
such Lender; (iii) the Company shall have paid to the assigning Lender  any
and  all facility fees and other fees payable to such Lender and all  other
accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Lender under any provision of this
Agreement  (including,  but not limited to, any increased  costs  or  other
additional  amounts owing under this Section 2.10, and any  indemnification
for  Taxes  under Section 2.13) as of the effective date of such assignment
and (iv) if the assignee selected by the Company is not an existing Lender,
such assignee or the Company shall have paid the processing and recordation
fee  required  under Section 9.07(a) for such assignment; provided  further
that the assigning Lender's rights under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04,  and
its  obligations  under Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment  as  to
matters occurring prior to the date of assignment.

           SECTION  2.11.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of  this  Agreement,  if  any  Lender  shall  notify  the  Agent  that  the
introduction  of or any change in or in the interpretation of  any  law  or
regulation  makes  it unlawful, or any central bank or  other  governmental
authority  asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its  Eurocurrency
Lending  Office  to perform its obligations hereunder to make  Eurocurrency
Rate  Advances  in Dollars or any Major Currency or LIBO Rate  Advances  in
Dollars or in any Foreign Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate
Advances  in  Dollars  or in any Major Currency or LIBO  Rate  Advances  in
Dollars  or  in any Foreign Currency hereunder, (i) each such  Eurocurrency
Rate  Advance  or  such  LIBO  Rate Advance,  as  the  case  may  be,  will
automatically, upon such demand, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate  Advance  or
LIBO  Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate
Advance  or  an  Advance  that bears interest at  the  rate  set  forth  in
Section  2.07(a)(i),  as  the case may be, (B) if  such  Eurocurrency  Rate
Advance  or  LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Foreign  Currency,  be
redenominated  into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and  Converted  into  a
Base  Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set  forth
in  Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) the obligation of  the
Lenders  to make such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or such LIBO Rate Advances
shall  be  suspended  until the Agent shall notify  the  Borrower  and  the
Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

           SECTION  2.12.  Payments and Computations.  (a)   Each  Borrower
shall  make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, except with respect
to  principal  of,  interest on, and other amounts  relating  to,  Advances
denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time)  on  the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at its address referred
to  in  Section  9.02  in same day funds.  Each Borrower  shall  make  each
payment  hereunder  and  under  the Notes with  respect  to  principal  of,
interest  on,  and  other  amounts relating to Advances  denominated  in  a
Foreign Currency not later than 12:00 Noon (at the Payment Office for  such
Foreign Currency) on the day when due in such Foreign Currency to the Agent
in  same  day  funds  by  deposit  of such funds  to  the  Agent's  account
maintained  at  such  Payment Office.  The Agent will  promptly  thereafter
cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal  or
interest  or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant  to
Section  2.03, 2.05(b), 2.05(c), 2.10, 2.13 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders  for
the  account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds
relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender  to  such
Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be
applied  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  this  Agreement.   Upon  its
acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information
contained  therein  in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c),  from  and
after  the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,  the
Agent  shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect  of
the  interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder,  and  the
parties  to  such  Assignment  and Acceptance shall  make  all  appropriate
adjustments  in  such  payments for periods prior to  such  effective  date
directly  between themselves.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming  a  Lender
hereunder  as  a  result  of  the effectiveness of  a  Commitment  Increase
pursuant  to Section 2.05(e), and upon the Agent's receipt of such Lender's
Assumption Agreement and recording the information contained therein in the
Register,  from  and  after the Increase Date, the  Agent  shall  make  all
payments  hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest  assumed
thereby to the Assuming Lender.

           (b)  All computations of interest based on the Base Rate and  of
facility fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of  365  or
366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the
Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by
the  Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the  actual
number  of  days  (including  the first day but  excluding  the  last  day)
occurring  in  the  period for which such interest  or  facility  fees  are
payable.   Each  determination by the Agent of an interest  rate  hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

           (c)  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall  be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall  be
made  on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in  such  case  be included in the computation of payment  of  interest  or
facility  fee,  as  the  case  may be; provided,  however,  that,  if  such
extension  would cause payment of interest on or principal of  Eurocurrency
Rate  Advances  or  LIBO  Rate Advances to be made in  the  next  following
calendar  month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding  Business
Day.

           (d)   Unless  the  Agent  shall have received  notice  from  any
Borrower  prior  to  the date on which any payment is due  to  the  Lenders
hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the  Agent
may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on
such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to  be
distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to  the  amount
then due such Lender.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so
made  such  payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall  repay  to  the
Agent  forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender  together
with  interest  thereon,  for  each  day  from  the  date  such  amount  is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to
the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

           SECTION 2.13.  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by any Borrower
hereunder   or   under  the  Notes  shall  be  made,  in  accordance   with
Section  2.12,  free and clear of and without deduction  for  any  and  all
present   or   future  taxes,  levies,  imposts,  deductions,  charges   or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding,  in  the
case  of each Lender and the Agent, net income taxes imposed by the  United
States  and  taxes imposed on its overall net income, and  franchise  taxes
imposed  on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction  under  the
laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or
any  political  subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender,  taxes
imposed  on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed  on  it  in
lieu  of  net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable
Lending  Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded
taxes,  levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and  liabilities
in  respect  of  payments  hereunder or under the Notes  being  hereinafter
referred  to  as  "Taxes").  If any Borrower shall be required  by  law  to
deduct  any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or  under
any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased
as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions  applicable to additional sums payable under this Section  2.13)
such  Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal  to
the  sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such
Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall  pay  the
full  amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
in accordance with applicable law.

           (b)  In  addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any  present  or
future  stamp  or documentary taxes or any other excise or property  taxes,
charges  or  similar levies that arise from any payment made  hereunder  or
under  the  Notes  or  from  the execution, delivery  or  registration  of,
performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

           (c)  Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
taxes   imposed  by  any  jurisdiction  on  amounts  payable   under   this
Section  2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the  case
may  be)  and  any liability (including penalties, interest  and  expenses)
arising  therefrom  or  with  respect thereto; provided,  however,  that  a
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts in respect of penalties,
interest or expenses pursuant to this paragraph that are payable solely  as
a  result  of  (i) the failure on the part of the pertinent Lender  or  the
Agent  to  pay  over those amounts received from the Borrowers  under  this
clause  (c) or (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the  part
of  the pertinent Lender or the Agent.  This indemnification shall be  made
within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may  be)
makes  written  demand therefor.  Each Lender agrees to provide  reasonably
prompt  notice to the Agent, the Company and any Borrower of any imposition
of  Taxes or Other Taxes against such Lender; provided that failure to give
such  notice  shall  not  affect such Lender's  rights  to  indemnification
hereunder.  Each Lender agrees that it will, promptly upon a request by the
Company  or  a  Borrower having made an indemnification payment  hereunder,
furnish  to the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be, such evidence
as is reasonably available to such Lender as to the payment of the relevant
Taxes or Other Taxes, and that it will, if requested by the Company or such
Borrower, cooperate with the Company or such Borrower, as the case may  be,
in  its  efforts  to obtain a refund or similar relief in respect  of  such
payment.

           (d)  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each
Borrower  shall  furnish  to  the Agent, at  its  address  referred  to  in
Section  9.02,  the  original or a certified copy of a  receipt  evidencing
payment  thereof.  In the case of any payment hereunder or under the  Notes
by  or  on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside  the
United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is  not  a
United States person, if such Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable
in  respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor
to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable
to  the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes.  For purposes
of  this  subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms "United States"  and
"United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of
the Internal Revenue Code.

           (e)   Each  Lender  organized under the laws of  a  jurisdiction
outside  the  United States, on or prior to the date of its  execution  and
delivery  of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and  on  the
date  of the Assignment and Acceptance or the Assumption Agreement, as  the
case  may  be,  pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case  of  each
other  Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing  by
any  Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to  do
so),  shall provide the Agent and each Borrower with two original  Internal
Revenue  Service  forms 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any  successor  or
other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such
Lender  is  exempt  from  or entitled to a reduced rate  of  United  States
withholding  tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the  Notes.   In
addition, each Lender further agrees to provide any Borrower with any  form
or  document  as any Borrower may request which is required by  any  taxing
authority  outside the United States in order to secure an exemption  from,
or  reduction in the rate of, withholding tax.  If the forms provided by  a
Lender  at  the  time such Lender first becomes a party to  this  Agreement
indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of  zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless
and  until  such  Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying  that  a
lesser  rate  applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser  rate  only
shall  be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form;
provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or
the  Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which  a  Lender
becomes  a  party to this Agreement, such Lender was entitled  to  payments
under  subsection  (a)  in respect of United States  withholding  tax  with
respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes
shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in  the
future  or  other  amounts  otherwise includable in  Taxes)  United  States
withholding  tax, if any, applicable with respect to such  Lender  on  such
date.   If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires
the  disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute
the  tax  payable and information required on the date hereof  by  Internal
Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, that a Lender reasonably considers to be
confidential,  such Lender shall give notice thereof to each  Borrower  and
shall  not  be  obligated  to  include  in  such  form  or  document   such
confidential information.

           (f)  For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide   each   Borrower   with   the  appropriate   form   described   in
Section  2.13(e)  (other than if such failure is due to  a  change  in  law
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to
be  provided,  or  if such form otherwise is not required under  the  first
sentence  of  subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be  entitled  to
indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes  imposed
by  the  United  States by reason of such failure; provided, however,  that
should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form required hereunder, each Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender
shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

           (g)  If any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any  Lender  or  to  the Agent or on behalf of any of them  to  any  taxing
authority  pursuant  to  this Section 2.13, such  Lender  shall,  upon  the
written  request  of the Company delivered to such Lender  and  the  Agent,
assign, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section  9.07,
all  of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Notes
to  an  Eligible Assignee selected by the Company; provided, however,  that
(i)  no  Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of  such
request  and at the time of such assignment; (ii) the assignee  shall  have
paid  to  the assigning Lender the aggregate principal amount of,  and  any
interest accrued and unpaid to the date of such assignment on, the Note  or
Notes  of  such Lender; (iii) the Company shall have paid to the  assigning
Lender any and all facility fees and other fees payable to such Lender  and
all  other  accrued  and  unpaid amounts owing to  such  Lender  under  any
provision  of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any  increased
costs  or  other  additional  amounts owing under  Section  2.10,  and  any
indemnification for Taxes under this Section 2.13) as of the effective date
of such assignment; and (iv) if the assignee selected by the Company is not
an  existing  Lender,  such assignee or the Company  shall  have  paid  the
processing  and  recordation fee required under Section  9.07(a)  for  such
assignment;  provided  further  that the assigning  Lender's  rights  under
Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and its obligations under Section 8.05, shall
survive  such  assignment as to matters occurring  prior  to  the  date  of
assignment.

           SECTION  2.14.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any  Lender  shall
obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any  right  of  setoff,  or otherwise) on account of the  Revolving  Credit
Advances  owing  to  it  (other than pursuant  to  Section  2.03,  2.05(b),
2.05(c),  2.10, 2.13 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments
on  account  of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the  Lenders,
such   Lender  shall  forthwith  purchase  from  the  other  Lenders   such
participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as  shall  be
necessary  to  cause  such purchasing Lender to share  the  excess  payment
ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of
such  excess  payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing  Lender,
such  purchase  from each Lender shall be rescinded and such  Lender  shall
repay  to  the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent  of  such
recovery  together  with  an amount equal to such  Lender's  ratable  share
(according  to  the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's  required
repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender)
of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect  of the total amount so recovered.  Each Borrower agrees  that  any
Lender  so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to  this
Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all  its
rights  of  payment (including the right of setoff) with  respect  to  such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor  of  such
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

           SECTION  2.15.  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of  the  Advances
shall  be  available  (and each Borrower agrees  that  it  shall  use  such
proceeds)  solely  for  working capital and  for  other  general  corporate
purposes  of  such  Borrower  and  its  Subsidiaries,  including,   without
limitation, backstop of commercial paper.

     provided  to the Agent and each Lender by such Borrower in  connection
     herewith would include an untrue statement of a material fact or  omit

     the   transactions  contemplated  hereby,  are  within  the  Company's
     corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
     action, and do not and will not cause or constitute a violation of any

     party  or  by  which  the  Company or its property  may  be  bound  or
     affected.

           (c)  No authorization, consent, approval (including any exchange
     control  approval), license or other action by, and no  notice  to  or
     filing    or    registration   with,   any   governmental   authority,
     administrative agency or regulatory body or any other third  party  is
     required  for  the  due  execution, delivery and  performance  by  the
     Company of this Agreement or the Notes of the Company.

           (d)   This  Agreement  has been, and  each  of  the  Notes  when
     delivered hereunder will have been, duly executed and delivered by the
     Company.  This Agreement is, and each of the Notes of the Company when
     delivered  hereunder will be, the legal, valid and binding  obligation
     of  the  Company  enforceable against the Company in  accordance  with
     their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may
     be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws
     affecting creditors' rights generally.

           (e)   The  Consolidated balance sheet of  the  Company  and  its
     Consolidated  Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1994,  and  the  related
     Consolidated  statements of income and cash flows of the  Company  and

     Consolidated  Subsidiaries  and the Consolidated  statements  of  cash
     flows  of  the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries), accompanied
     by   an  opinion  of  one  or  more  nationally  recognized  firms  of
     independent public accountants, copies of which have been furnished to
     each  Lender, are materially complete and correct, and fairly  present
     the   Consolidated  financial  condition  of  the  Company   and   its
     Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the Consolidated results
     of the operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for
     the   period  ended  on  such  date,  all  in  accordance  with   GAAP

     forward  or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated  losses
     from  any  unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected
     or  provided for in such balance sheet or the notes thereto as at such
     date.   Since  December 31, 1994, there has been no  Material  Adverse
     Change.

           (f)   There  is  no action, suit, investigation,  litigation  or
     proceeding,  including, without limitation, any Environmental  Action,
     pending  or  to the knowledge of the Company Threatened affecting  the
     Company  or  any  of  its Subsidiaries before any court,  governmental
     agency  or arbitrator that (i) is reasonably likely to have a Material
     Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Litigation), or (ii) purports
     to  affect  the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement
     or  any  Note  or  the  consummation of the transactions  contemplated
     hereby,  and  there  has  been no adverse change  in  the  status,  or
     financial  effect  on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,  of  the
     Disclosed Litigation from that described on Schedule 3.01(b) hereto.

           (g)   The  Company is not engaged in the business  of  extending
     credit  for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
     the  meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors  of  the
     Federal  Reserve System), and no proceeds of any Advance will be  used
     to  purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit  to  others
     for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

           (h)   The Company and each wholly-owned direct Subsidiary of the
     Company have, in the aggregate, met their minimum funding requirements
     under  ERISA with respect to their Plans in all material respects  and
     have  not incurred any material liability to the PBGC, other than  for
     the payment of premiums, in connection with such Plans.

           (i)   No  ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected  to
     occur  with   respect  to  any  Plan  of the Company  or  any  of  its
     ERISA Affiliates that has resulted  in  or  is  reasonably  likely  to 
     result  in  a  material  liability  of the Company or any of its ERISA
     Affiliates.

           (j)   The Schedules B (Actuarial Information) to the 1993 annual
     reports (Form 5500 Series) with respect to each Plan of the Company or
     any of  its ERISA Affiliates, copies of which have been filed with the
     Internal Revenue  Service  (and  which will be furnished to  any  Bank
     through  the  Administrative  Agent  upon  the  request  of  such Bank
     through   the Administrative  Agent to the Company), are complete  and
     accurate in  all material  respects and fairly present in all material
     respects the  funding status of such Plans at such date, and since the
     date of each such Schedule B there has been no material adverse change
     in funding status.

           (k)   Neither  the Company nor any of its ERISA  Affiliates  has
     incurred or reasonably expects to  incur any Withdrawal  Liability  to
     any  Multiemployer  Plan in  an annual  amount  exceeding  6%  of  Net 
     Tangible Assets of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

           (l) Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has been
     notified  by  the  sponsor  of   a   Multiemployer   Plan  that   such
     Multiemployer  Plan   is  in   reorganization  or has been terminated,
     within the meaning  of Title IV of ERISA.  No  such Multiemployer Plan
     is reasonably expected to be in  reorganization  or to  be terminated,
     within the meaning of Title  IV  of  ERISA,  in  a  reorganization  or
     termination  which  might  reasonably  be  expected  to  result  in  a 
     liability of the Company in an amount in excess  of $5,000,000.

           (m) The Company is not, and immediately after the application by
     the  Company  of  the  proceeds  of  each  Loan  will  not  be, (a) an 
     "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company  Act
     of 1940, as amended,  or  (b)  a  "holding company" within the meaning
     of  the  Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

           (n)  To the best of the Company's knowledge, the operations  and
     properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole comply
     in  all  material respects with all Environmental Laws, all  necessary
     Environmental Permits have been applied for or have been obtained  and
     are in effect for the operations and properties of the Company and its
     Subsidiaries and the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in
     all  material  respects with all such Environmental Permits.   To  the
     best  of the Company's knowledge no circumstances exist that would  be
     reasonably likely to form the basis of an Environmental Action against
     the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties that
     could have a Material Adverse Effect.

     contested  in  good faith and by proper proceedings and  as  to  which
     appropriate reserves are being maintained.

           (c)    Maintenance  of  Insurance.   Maintain,  and  cause  each

forthwith terminate, and (B) shall at the request, or may with the consent,
of  the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Company, declare the Notes,  all
interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement  to  be

                          ARTICLE VII

                           GUARANTEE

            SECTION   7.01.    Unconditional   Guarantee.    For   valuable
consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and to  induce  each
Lender  to  make Advances to the Designated Subsidiaries and to induce  the
Agent  to act hereunder, the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to each Lender and the Agent that:

           (a)   the  principal  of and interest on each  Advance  to  each
     Designated Subsidiary shall be promptly paid in full when due (whether
     at  stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance  with
     the terms hereof, and, in case of any extension of time of payment, in
     whole  or  in  part,  of such Advance, that all  such  sums  shall  be
     promptly paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
     otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension; and

           (b)   all  other  amounts payable hereunder  by  any  Designated
     Subsidiary to any Lender or the Agent shall be promptly paid  in  full
     when  due in accordance with the terms hereof (the obligations of  the
     Designated  Subsidiaries under these subsections (a) and (b)  of  this
     Section 7.01 being the "Obligations").

In addition, the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that
upon  default  in  the  payment when due (whether at  stated  maturity,  by
acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest on, any Advance
to  any  Designated  Subsidiary  or  such  other  amounts  payable  by  any
Designated  Subsidiary  to  any  Lender or  the  Agent,  the  Company  will
forthwith pay the same, without further notice or demand.

           SECTION 7.02.  Guarantee Absolute.  The Company guarantees  that
the  Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement,  regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter  in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any
Lender  or  the Agent with respect thereto.  The liability of  the  Company
under this guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

           (a)  any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
     any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

           (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
     any  other  term  of,  all  or any of the Obligations,  or  any  other
     amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement
     (including,  without limitation, any Commitment Increase  pursuant  to
     Section 2.05(e));

           (c)   any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral,
     or  any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
     any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or

           (d)   any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute  a
     defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company, any Borrower  or
     a guarantor.

This guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may  be,  if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded
or  must otherwise be returned by any of the Lenders or the Agent upon  the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any Borrower  or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

           SECTION  7.03.   Waivers.  The Company hereby  expressly  waives
diligence,  presentment, demand for payment, protest, any requirement  that
any  right  or  power  be  exhausted or any action  be  taken  against  any
Designated Subsidiary or against any other guarantor of all or any  portion
of the Advances, and all other notices and demands whatsoever.

           SECTION 7.04.  Remedies.  Each of the Lenders and the Agent  may
pursue its respective rights and remedies under this Article VII and  shall
be entitled to payment hereunder notwithstanding any other guarantee of all
or   any  part  of  the  Advances  to  the  Designated  Subsidiaries,   and
notwithstanding any action taken by any such Lender or the Agent to enforce
any  of  its rights or remedies under such other guarantee, or any  payment
received  thereunder.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives any  claim  or
other  right  that it may now or hereafter acquire against  any  Designated
Subsidiary  that  arises  from  the  existence,  payment,  performance   or
enforcement of the Company's obligations under this Article VII, including,
without  limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,  exoneration,
contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in  any  claim
or  remedy  of the Agent or the Lenders against any Designated  Subsidiary,
whether  or  not  such claim, remedy or right arises  in  equity  or  under
contract,  statute or common law, including, without limitation, the  right
to  take or receive from the Designated Subsidiary, directly or indirectly,
in  cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim, remedy or right.  If any amount shall be
paid to the Company in violation of the preceding sentence at any time when
all the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall  be
held  in  trust  for  the benefit of the Lenders and the  Agent  and  shall
forthwith be paid to the Agent for its own account and the accounts of  the
respective  Lenders to be credited and applied to the Obligations,  whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to
be  held  as collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable  under
this  Agreement thereafter arising.  The Company acknowledges that it  will
receive  direct  and  indirect  benefits from  the  financing  arrangements
contemplated  by  this  Agreement and that the waiver  set  forth  in  this
section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

           SECTION 7.05.  No Stay.  The Company agrees that, as between (a)
the  Company  and  (b) the Lenders and the Agent, the  Obligations  of  any
Designated  Subsidiary guaranteed by the Company hereunder may be  declared
to  be  forthwith  due  and payable as provided in Article  VI  hereof  for
purposes  of  this Article VII by declaration to the Company  as  guarantor
notwithstanding  any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing  such
declaration as against such Designated Subsidiary and that, in the event of
such declaration to the Company as guarantor, such Obligations (whether  or
not  due and payable by such Designated Subsidiary), shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Company for purposes of this Article VII.

            SECTION  7.06.   Survival.   This  guarantee  is  a  continuing
guarantee  and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until  payment  in
full  (after the Termination Date) of the Obligations and all other amounts
payable  under  this  guaranty,  (b)  be  binding  upon  the  Company,  its
successors  and assigns, (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable  by
each  Lender  (including  each Assuming Lender  and  each  assignee  Lender
pursuant  to  Section 9.07) and the Agent and their respective  successors,
transferees  and  assigns and (d) shall be reinstated if at  any  time  any
payment  to  a Lender or the Agent hereunder is required to be restored  by
such Lender or the Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause  (c),  each Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its interest  in
any  Advance to any other person or entity, and such other person or entity
shall  thereupon  become  vested with all the  rights  in  respect  thereof
granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.

                          ARTICLE VIII

                           THE AGENT

           SECTION  8.01.   Authorization and Action.  Each  Lender  hereby
appoints  and  authorizes the Agent to take such action  as  agent  on  its
behalf  and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement  as
are  delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such  powers
and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not
expressly  provided  for by this Agreement (including, without  limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or
to  refrain  from  acting (and shall be fully protected  in  so  acting  or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders,  and
such  instructions  shall be binding upon all Lenders and  all  holders  of
Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take  any
action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary  to
this  Agreement or applicable law.  The Agent agrees to give to each Lender
prompt  notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant  to  the
terms of this Agreement.

           SECTION 8.02.  Agent's Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Agent nor any
of  its  directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable  for  any
action  taken  or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in  connection
with  this  Agreement,  except for its or their  own  gross  negligence  or
willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing,
the Agent:  (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until
the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by
the  Lender  that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and  an  Eligible
Assignee,  as  assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult  with
legal  counsel  (including  counsel for the  Company),  independent  public
accountants  and other experts selected by it and shall not be  liable  for
any  action  taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance
with  the  advice  of such counsel, accountants or experts;  (c)  makes  no
warranty  or  representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible  to
any  Lender  for  any  statements, warranties or  representations  (whether
written  or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement;  (d)  shall
not  have  any  duty  to ascertain or to inquire as to the  performance  or
observance  of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this  Agreement
on the part of any Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books
and  records) of any Borrower; (e) shall not be responsible to  any  Lender
for  the  due  execution, legality, validity, enforceability,  genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or  document
furnished  pursuant hereto; and (f) shall incur no liability  under  or  in
respect  of  this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate
or  other  instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier,  telegram  or
telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper  party
or parties.

           SECTION  8.03.   Citibank and Affiliates.  With respect  to  its
Commitment,  the  Advances made by it and the Note issued to  it,  Citibank
shall  have  the same rights and powers under this Agreement as  any  other
Lender  and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and  the
term  "Lender"  or  "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly  indicated,
include  Citibank in its individual capacity.  Citibank and its  Affiliates
may  accept  deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under  indentures
of,  accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any
kind  of business with, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person
who  may  do  business with or own securities of the Company  or  any  such
Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not the Agent and without any  duty  to
account therefor to the Lenders.

           SECTION 8.04.  Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender  and  based on the financial statements referred to in Section  4.01
and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its  own  credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.   Each
Lender  also acknowledges that it will, independently and without  reliance
upon  the  Agent  or  any  other Lender and based  on  such  documents  and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make  its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

           SECTION  8.05.  Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify
the  Agent  (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower), ratably according
to the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Notes then held
by  each  of  them  (or  if  no Revolving Credit  Notes  are  at  the  time
outstanding or if any Revolving Credit Notes are held by Persons  that  are
not   Lenders,  ratably  according  to  the  respective  amounts  of  their
Commitments),  from  and  against  any and  all  liabilities,  obligations,
losses,  damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses  or
disbursements  of  any kind or nature whatsoever that may  be  imposed  on,
incurred  by,  or  asserted against the Agent in any  way  relating  to  or
arising  out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the  Agent
under  this  Agreement, provided that no Lender shall  be  liable  for  any
portion  of  such  liabilities, obligations,  losses,  damages,  penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting  from
the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation  of
the  foregoing,  each  Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent  promptly  upon
demand  for  its  ratable  share of any out-of-pocket  expenses  (including
counsel  fees)  incurred by the Agent in connection with  the  preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice  in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,  to
the  extent  that  the  Agent is not reimbursed  for  such  expenses  by  a
Borrower.

          SECTION 8.06.  Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign at any time
by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be
removed  at  any time with or without cause by the Majority  Lenders.   The
Company may at any time, by notice to the Agent, propose a successor  Agent
(which  shall meet the criteria described below) specified in  such  notice
and  request that the Lenders be notified thereof by the Agent with a  view
to  their  removal  of the Agent and their appointment  of  such  successor
Agent;  the Agent agrees to forward any such notice to the Lenders promptly
upon  its receipt by the Agent.  Upon any such resignation or removal,  the
Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If  no
successor  Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders,  and
shall  have  accepted such appointment, within 30 days after  the  retiring
Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders' removal of
the  retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under
the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having
a  combined  capital  and  surplus  of at  least  $500,000,000.   Upon  the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with  all  the
rights,  powers,  discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring  Agent,
and  the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under  this  Agreement.  After any retiring Agent's resignation or  removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to  its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while  it  was
Agent under this Agreement.

                           ARTICLE IX

                         MISCELLANEOUS

           SECTION 9.01.  Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver  of  any
provision  of this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes, nor consent  to
any  departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event  be  effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders, and
then  such  waiver  or  consent shall be effective  only  in  the  specific
instance  and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,  however,
that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by
all the Lenders, do any of the following:  (a) increase the Commitments  of
the  Lenders  other than as provided for in Section 2.05(e) or subject  the
Lenders  to  any  additional obligations, (b) reduce the principal  of,  or
interest  on,  the  Revolving Credit Notes or any  fees  or  other  amounts

writing  and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required  above
to  take  such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under  this
Agreement or any Note.

herein  provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies  provided
by law.

           SECTION  9.04.  Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The Company agrees  to
pay  on  demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with  the
administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and

limitation,  (i)  all  due  diligence,  syndication  (including   printing,
distribution  and  bank  meetings), transportation, computer,  duplication,
appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (ii) the reasonable fees  and
expenses  of  counsel  for  the Agent with respect  thereto.   The  Company
further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the
Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and
expenses),   in   connection   with  the   enforcement   (whether   through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the  Notes
and  the  other  documents  to be delivered hereunder,  including,  without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and  each
Lender   in   connection  with  the  enforcement  of  rights   under   this
Section 9.04(a).

           (b)   Each  Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold  harmless  the
Agent  and  each  Lender and each of their Affiliates and  their  officers,
directors,  employees, agents and advisors (each, an  "Indemnified  Party")
from  and  against  any  and all claims, damages, losses,  liabilities  and
expenses  (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and  expenses  of
counsel)  that  may  be  incurred by or asserted  or  awarded  against  any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or  by
reason  of,  or  in connection with the preparation for a defense  of,  any
investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related  to  or  in
connection  with  the  Notes,  this  Agreement,  any  of  the  transactions
contemplated  herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds  of  the
Advances  whether  or not such investigation, litigation or  proceeding  is
brought  by  the  Company, its directors, shareholders or creditors  or  an
Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise
a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated,  except to the extent any such claim, damage, loss,  liability
or  expense has resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence  or
willful misconduct.

           (c)   If  any  payment of principal of, or  Conversion  of,  any
Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is made by the  Borrower  to
or  for  the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to
Section  2.03(d),  2.05(b),  2.09(a) or (b) or 2.11,  acceleration  of  the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the
Borrower  shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand  to
the  Agent),  pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender  any  amounts
required  to  compensate such Lender for any additional  losses,  costs  or
expenses  that  it  may reasonably incur as a result  of  such  payment  or
Conversion,  including,  without limitation, any loss  (including  loss  of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation
or  reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to  fund
or maintain such Advance.

           (d)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the  Borrower  hereunder, the agreements and obligations  of  the  Borrower
contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 shall survive the payment in full
of  principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder  and  under
the Notes and the termination in whole of any Commitment hereunder.

           SECTION  9.05.   Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence  and
during  the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making  of  the
request  or  the  granting  of the consent specified  by  Section  6.01  to
authorize  the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant  to  the
provisions  of  Section 6.01, each Lender and each  of  its  Affiliates  is
hereby  authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted  by  law, to set off and apply any and all deposits  (general  or
special,  time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and  other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to  or  for
the  credit  or  the account of any Borrower against any  and  all  of  the
obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
and  the  Note of such Borrower held by such Lender, whether  or  not  such
Lender  shall  have made any demand under this Agreement or such  Note  and
although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify  the  relevant  Borrower  after any such  set-off  and  application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of  such  set-off  and  application.  The rights of  each  Lender  and  its
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and  remedies
(including,  without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such  Lender
and its Affiliates may have.

           SECTION  9.06.   Binding  Effect.  This Agreement  shall  become
effective  (other  than  Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which  shall  only  become
effective  upon  satisfaction  of the conditions  precedent  set  forth  in
Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Agent
and  when  the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial  Lender  that
such  Initial  Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding  upon
and  inure  to the benefit of each Borrower, the Agent and each Lender  and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall  not
have  the  right  to  assign its rights hereunder or  any  interest  herein
without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

           SECTION 9.07.  Assignments and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender
may at any time, with notice to the Company prior to making any proposal to
any  potential assignee and with the consent of the Company, which  consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld (and shall at any time, if requested  to
do  so by the Company pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.10 or 2.13) assign  to
one  or  more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations  under
this  Agreement  (including, without limitation, all or a  portion  of  its
Commitment,  the  Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and  the  Revolving
Credit Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) the Company's
consent  shall  not  be required (A) in the case of  an  assignment  to  an
Affiliate  of  such Lender, provided that notice thereof  shall  have  been
given to the Company and the Agent, or (B) in the case of an assignment  of
the type described in subsection (g) below; (ii) each such assignment shall
be  of  a  constant,  and  not  a varying, percentage  of  all  rights  and
obligations  under this Agreement (other than any right to make Competitive
Bid  Advances,  Competitive Bid Advances owing to it  and  Competitive  Bid
Notes);  (iii)  except  in  the case of an assignment  to  a  Person  that,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of  all
of  a  Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount  of
the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect  to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000  or
an  integral  multiple  of  $1,000,000 in excess thereof;  (iv)  each  such
assignment  shall be to an Eligible Assignee; and (v) the parties  to  each
such  assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance
and  recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
a  processing and recordation fee of $3,000 and, if the assigning Lender is
not retaining a Commitment hereunder, any Revolving Credit Note subject  to
such  assignment.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from  and  after  the  effective  date specified  in  each  Assignment  and
Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent  that  rights  and obligations hereunder have been  assigned  to  it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations
of  a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the
extent  that  rights  and obligations hereunder have been  assigned  by  it
pursuant  to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights  and  be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of  an
Assignment  and  Acceptance covering all or the  remaining  portion  of  an
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall  cease  to be a party hereto, provided, however, that such  assigning
Lender's  rights  under Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04, and  its  obligations
under  Section 8.05, shall survive such assignment as to matters  occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment).

           (b)   By  executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance,
the  Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to  and
agree  with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i)  other
than  as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning  Lender
makes  no  representation or warranty and assumes  no  responsibility  with
respect  to  any statements, warranties or representations made  in  or  in
connection  with  this  Agreement  or  any  other  instrument  or  document
furnished   pursuant   hereto   or  the  execution,   legality,   validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or  any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Lender  makes  no representation or warranty and assumes no  responsibility
with  respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance
or  observance  by  such  Borrower of any of  its  obligations  under  this
Agreement  or  any other instrument or document furnished pursuant  hereto;
(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together   with  copies  of  the  financial  statements  referred   to   in
Section  4.01  and such other documents and information as  it  has  deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment  and  Acceptance;  (iv) such assignee  will,  independently  and
without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other  Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action  under  this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms  that  it  is  an
Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent  to
take  such  action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such  powers  and
discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the  terms
hereof,  together  with  such  powers  and  discretion  as  are  reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform  in
accordance  with their terms all of the obligations that by  the  terms  of
this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (c)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an  assigning  Lender and an assignee representing that it is  an  Eligible
Assignee, together with any Revolving Credit Note or Notes subject to  such
assignment,  the  Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance  has  been
completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i)  accept
such  Assignment  and  Acceptance, (ii) record  the  information  contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company
and to each other Borrower.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of
such  notice, each Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and  deliver
to  the  Agent  a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of  such  Eligible
Assignee.  Each such new Revolving Credit Note or Notes shall be dated  the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be  in
substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto.

           (d)   The  Agent  shall maintain at its address referred  to  in
Section  9.02  a  copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered  to  and
accepted  by  it  and  a  register for the recordation  of  the  names  and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Advances  owing  to, each Lender from time to time (the  "Register").   The
entries  in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all  purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Company, each other Borrower, the Agent  and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
a  Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall
be  available  for  inspection by the Company, any other  Borrower  or  any
Lender  at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable  prior
notice.

           (e)  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or
other  entities (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) in or  to
all  or  a  portion  of  its rights and obligations  under  this  Agreement
(including,  without  limitation, all or a portion of its  Commitment,  the
Advances  owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however,
that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation,  its  Commitment  to  the  Company  and  the  other   Borrowers
hereunder)  shall  remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall  remain  solely
responsible  to  the  other  parties hereto for  the  performance  of  such
obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all  purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Company, any other Borrower,  the
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such  Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations  under
this  Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have
any  right  to  approve any amendment or waiver of any  provision  of  this
Agreement  or  any Note, or any consent to any departure  by  any  Borrower
therefrom,  except  to the extent that such amendment,  waiver  or  consent
would  reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or  any  fees  or
other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal  of,
or  interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable  hereunder,
in each case to the extent subject to such participation and (vi) within 30
days of the effective date of such participation, such Lender shall provide
notice of such participation to the Company.

           (f)   Any  Lender  may,  in connection with  any  assignment  or
participation  or  proposed assignment or participation  pursuant  to  this
Section  9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or  participant,  any information relating to the Company or  any  Borrower
furnished  to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower; provided  that,
prior  to  any  such  disclosure, the assignee or participant  or  proposed
assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of  any
confidential information relating to such Borrower received by it from such
Lender.

           (g)   Notwithstanding  any other provision  set  forth  in  this
Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all  or
any  portion  of  its  rights  under  this  Agreement  (including,  without
limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by  it)  in
favor  of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A  of  the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

           SECTION 9.08.  Designated Subsidiaries.  (a)  Designation.   The
Company may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Agent of
a  Designation  Letter  duly  executed by the Company  and  the  respective
Subsidiary  and  substantially in the form of Exhibit E  hereto,  designate
such Subsidiary as a "Designated Subsidiary" for purposes of this Agreement
and  such  Subsidiary shall thereupon become a "Designated Subsidiary"  for
purposes  of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights  and
obligations of a Borrower hereunder.  The Agent shall promptly notify  each
Lender  of  each  such designation by the Company and the identity  of  the
respective Subsidiary.

           (b)   Termination.  Upon the payment and performance in full  of
all  of  the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement
and the Notes of any Designated Subsidiary then, so long as at the time  no
Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing
in  respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary's
status  as  a "Designated Subsidiary" shall terminate upon notice  to  such
effect  from  the Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Agent  shall  give
promptly  upon  its  receipt  of  a request  therefor  from  the  Company).
Thereafter,  the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to  make  any
Advance hereunder to such Designated Subsidiary.

           SECTION  9.09.   Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders  and  the
Agent  hereby agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (e.g.,  procedures
substantially comparable to those applied by such Lender or  the  Agent  in
respect of non-public information as to the business of such Lender or  the
Agent)  to  keep  confidential any financial reports and other  information
from  time  to time supplied to it by the Company hereunder to  the  extent
that  such  information is not and does not become publicly  available  and
which  the  Company indicates at the time is to be treated  confidentially,
provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the disclosure  of  any
such  information  (i)  by  the Agent to any Lender,  (ii)  to  the  extent
required  by law (including statute, rule, regulation or judicial process),
(iii)  to  counsel  for  any Lender or the Agent  or  to  their  respective
independent  public accountants, (iv) to bank examiners  and  auditors  and
appropriate government examining authorities, (v) to the Agent or any other
Lender, (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any Lender  or  the
Agent is a party, (vii) to actual or prospective assignees and participants
as  contemplated by Section 9.07(f) or (viii) to any Affiliate of the Agent
or any Lender or to such Affiliate's officers, directors, employees, agents
and  advisors, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such  Affiliate
or  such Affiliate's officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, as
the  case  may  be,  shall  agree to preserve the  confidentiality  of  any
confidential  information  relating  to  the  Company  received  by  it;  a
determination  by  a  Lender  or the Agent as to  the  application  of  the
circumstances   described  in  the  foregoing  clauses   (i)-(viii)   being
conclusive  if  made in good faith; and each of the Lenders and  the  Agent
agrees  that  it  will  follow procedures which are  intended  to  put  any
transferee of such confidential information on notice that such information
is confidential.

           SECTION  9.10.   Mitigation of Yield  Protection.   Each  Lender
hereby  agrees that, commencing as promptly as practicable after it becomes
aware  of  the  occurrence of any event giving rise  to  the  operation  of
Section 2.10(a), 2.11 or 2.13 with respect to such Lender, such Lender will
give  notice  thereof  through the Agent to  the  respective  Borrower.   A
Borrower  may  at  any  time, by notice through the Agent  to  any  Lender,
request  that such Lender change its Applicable Lending Office  as  to  any
Advance  or  Type  of  Advance or that it specify a new Applicable  Lending
Office with respect to its Commitment and any Advance held by it or that it
rebook  any  such  Advance  with  a view  to  avoiding  or  mitigating  the
consequences of an occurrence such as described in the preceding  sentence,
and  such  Lender will use reasonable efforts to comply with  such  request
unless,  in  the  opinion of such Lender, such change or  specification  or
rebooking  is  inadvisable  or might have an adverse  effect,  economic  or
otherwise,  upon  it, including its reputation.  In addition,  each  Lender
agrees that, except for changes or specifications or rebookings required by
law  or  effected pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the result of  any
change or change of specification of Applicable Lending Office or rebooking
would, but for this sentence, be to impose additional costs or requirements
upon  the respective Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(a), Section 2.11  or
Section  2.13 (which would not be imposed absent such change or  change  of
specification  or rebooking) by reason of legal or regulatory  requirements
in  effect  at the time thereof and of which such Lender is aware  at  such
time,  then  such  costs or requirements shall not  be  imposed  upon  such
Borrower but shall be borne by such Lender.  All expenses incurred  by  any
Bank  in  changing  an  Applicable Lending  Office  or  specifying  another
Applicable  Lending  Office  of such Lender or  rebooking  any  Advance  in
response  to  a  request from a Borrower shall be paid  by  such  Borrower.
Nothing in this Section 9.10 (including, without limitation, any failure by
a  Lender  to  give  any notice contemplated in the first sentence  hereof)
shall  limit, reduce or postpone any obligations of the respective Borrower
under  Section  2.10(a),  Section  2.11  or  Section  2.13,  including  any
obligations  payable in respect of any period prior  to  the  date  of  any
change or specification of a new Applicable Lending Office or any rebooking
of any Advance.

          SECTION 9.11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Notes shall
be  governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.

           SECTION 9.12.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed  in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto  in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an  original and all of which taken together shall constitute one  and  the
same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this  Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a  manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

           SECTION  9.13.   Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)  Each  of  the  parties
hereto  hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and  its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State  court  or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any  appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding  arising
out  of  or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition  or
enforcement  of  any  judgment,  and each  of  the  parties  hereto  hereby
irrevocably  and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect  of  any
such  action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York
State  court  or,  to the extent permitted by law, in such  federal  court.
Each  Designated Subsidiary hereby agrees that service of  process  in  any
such  action or proceeding brought in the any such New York State court  or
in such federal court may be made upon CT Corporation System at its offices
at  1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019 (the "Process Agent") and  each
Designated  Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the  Process  Agent  its
authorized  agent to accept such service of process, and  agrees  that  the
failure  of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service  shall
not  impair  or  affect the validity of such service  or  of  any  judgment
rendered  in any action or proceeding based thereon.  Each Borrower  hereby
further  irrevocably consents to the service of process in  any  action  or
proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties  hereto  by
registered  or  certified mail, postage prepaid, to such  Borrower  at  its
address  specified  pursuant to Section 9.02.  Each of the  parties  hereto
agrees  that  a  final judgment in any such action or proceeding  shall  be
conclusive  and  may  be enforced in other jurisdictions  by  suit  on  the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall  affect  any right that any party may otherwise have to  serve  legal
process  in  any other manner permitted by law or to bring  any  action  or
proceeding  relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the  courts  of  any
jurisdiction.   To  the  extent  that each  Designated  Subsidiary  has  or
hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court  or  from
any  legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior  to
judgment,  attachment  in aid of execution, execution  or  otherwise)  with
respect  to  itself  or  its  property, each Designated  Subsidiary  hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations  under  this
Agreement.

           (b)   Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives,  to  the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do  so,  any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue  of  any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement  or
the  Notes  in  any New York State or federal court.  Each of  the  parties
hereto  hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by  law,
the  defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action  or
proceeding in any such court.

           SECTION  9.14.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each Borrower, the  Agent
and  each Lender hereby irrevocably waive all right to trial by jury in any
action,  proceeding  or counterclaim (whether based on  contract,  tort  or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes or the
actions  of  the  Agent  or any Lender in the negotiation,  administration,
performance or enforcement thereof.

            SECTION   9.15.   Final  Agreement.   This  written   agreement
represents the full and final agreement between the parties with respect to
the  matters  addressed  herein and supersedes  all  prior  communications,
written  or  oral, with respect thereto.  There are no unwritten agreements
between the parties.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement
to  be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized,  as
of the date first above written.

                                   Dated:  _______________, 199_


           FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the undersigned,  [NAME  OF  BORROWER],  a
_________________________ corporation (the "Borrower"), HEREBY  PROMISES  TO
PAY to the order of _________________________ (the "Lender") for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office on the Termination Date (each as defined in
the  364-Day  Credit  Agreement referred to below) the  aggregate  principal
amount  of the Revolving Credit Advances made by the Lender to the  Borrower
pursuant  to  the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of June 30,  1995  among
AlliedSignal  Inc.,  the Lender and certain other lenders  parties  thereto,
Citibank,  N.A., as Agent, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and Morgan Guaranty  Trust
Company of New York, as Co-Agents, for the Lender and such other lenders (as
amended  or modified from time to time, the "364-Day Credit Agreement";  the
terms  defined therein being used herein as therein defined) outstanding  on
the Termination Date.

           The  Borrower  promises to pay interest on the  unpaid  principal
amount  of  each   Revolving Credit Advance from the date of such  Revolving
Credit Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest
rates,  and  payable at such times, as are specified in the  364-Day  Credit
Agreement.

           Both  principal and interest in respect of each Revolving  Credit
Advance  (i) in Dollars are payable in lawful money of the United States  of
America to Citibank, N.A., as Agent, at 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York,
10043, in same day funds and (ii) in any Major Currency are payable in  such
currency at the applicable Payment Office in same day funds.  Each Revolving
Credit  Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the  364-Day
Credit  Agreement,  and all payments made on account of  principal  thereof,
shall  be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed
on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Promissory Note.

          This Promissory Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes referred
to  in,  and  is entitled to the benefits of, the 364-Day Credit  Agreement.
The  364-Day  Credit  Agreement, among other things, (i)  provides  for  the
making of Revolving Credit Advances by the Lender to the Borrower from  time
to  time  in  an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding  the
Dollar amount first above mentioned or the Equivalent thereof in one or more
Major Currencies, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each  such
Revolving  Credit  Advance  being evidenced by this  Promissory  Note,  (ii)
contains  provisions  for  determining the Dollar  Equivalent  of  Revolving
Credit   Advances  denominated  in  Major  Currencies  and  (iii)   contains
provisions  for  acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the  happening  of
certain  stated  events  and also for prepayments on  account  of  principal
hereof  prior  to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions  therein
specified.

           The  Borrower  hereby waives presentment,  demand,  protest  and
notice  of  any kind.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in  exercising,
any  rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate  as  a
waiver of such rights.

           This  promissory  note shall be governed by,  and  construed  in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           Reference  is made to the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated  as  of
June  30, 1995 among AlliedSignal Inc. (the "Company"), the Lenders parties
thereto,  Citibank,  N.A.  as Agent, and ABN  AMRO  Bank  N.V.  and  Morgan
Guaranty  Trust  Company  of New York, as Co-Agents  (the  "364-Day  Credit
Agreement";  terms  defined therein being used herein as therein  defined),
for such Lenders.

           The  undersigned (the "Assuming Lender") proposes to  become  an
Assuming Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(e) of the 364-Day Credit Agreement
and,  in  that connection, hereby agrees that it shall become a Lender  for
purposes of the 364-Day Credit Agreement on [applicable Increase Date]  and
that its Commitment shall as of such date be $__________.

           The undersigned (i) confirms that it has received a copy of  the
364-Day  Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements
referred   to  in  Section  4.01(e)  thereof,  the  most  recent  financial
statements referred to in Section 5.01(h) thereof and such other  documents
and  information  as  it  has deemed appropriate to  make  its  own  credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Assumption Agreement; (ii)  agrees
that  it  will, independently and without reliance upon the  Agent  or  any
other  Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall  deem
appropriate  at  the  time, continue to make its own  credit  decisions  in
taking   or   not  taking  action  under  the  364-Day  Credit   Agreement;
(iii) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf  and  to exercise such powers under the 364-Day Credit Agreement  as
are  delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers
as  are reasonably incidental thereto; (iv) agrees that it will perform  in
accordance  with their terms all of the obligations which by the  terms  of
the  364-Day  Credit  Agreement are required to be performed  by  it  as  a
Lender; (v) confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) specifies as its
Lending Office (and address for notices) the offices set forth beneath  its
name on the signature pages hereof; and (vii) attaches the forms prescribed
by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States required under Section
2.13 of the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

           The  Assuming  Lender requests that the Company deliver  to  the
Agent  (to  be promptly delivered to the Assuming Lender) Revolving  Credit
Notes payable to the order of the Assuming Lender, dated as of the Increase
Date  and  substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the  364-Day  Credit
Agreement.

           The  effective  date  for  this Assumption  Agreement  shall  be
[applicable Increase Date].  Upon delivery of this Assumption Agreement  to
the Company and the Agent, and satisfaction of all conditions imposed under
Section  2.05(e) as of [date specified above], the undersigned shall  be  a
party  to  the 364-Day Credit Agreement and have the rights and obligations
of a Lender thereunder.  As of [date specified above], the Agent shall make
all  payments under the 364-Day Credit Agreement in respect of the interest
assigned  hereby (including, without limitation, all payments of principal,
interest and commitment fees) to the Assuming Lender.

           This Assumption Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by
different  parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which  when  so
executed  shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall  constitute  one  and the same agreement.  Delivery  of  an  executed
counterpart  by  telecopier shall be effective as delivery  of  a  manually
executed counterpart of this Assumption Agreement.

           This Assumption Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                                     Very truly yours,

  as Agent for such Lenders

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           Reference  is made to the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated  as  of

                       OF VICTOR P. PATRICK,
             ASSISTANT GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY


                                                       June 30, 1995


To each of the Lenders parties
  to the Credit Agreement
  (as defined below),
  and to Citibank, N.A.,
  as Agent for said Lenders


                         AlliedSignal Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(vi)
of the 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 1995 among AlliedSignal
Inc. (the "Company"), the Lenders parties thereto, Citibank, N.A., as Agent
for said  Lenders, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New  York, as Co-Agents (the "Credit Agreement").  Terms defined in the
Credit Agreement are, unless otherwise defined herein, used herein as
therein defined.

           I have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement.

          In that connection I have examined:

          (1)  The Credit Agreement.

          (2)    The documents furnished by the Company pursuant to Article
     III   of   the   Credit  Agreement,  including  the   Certificate   of
     Incorporation  of  the  Company  and  all  amendments   thereto   (the
     "Charter")  and the By-laws of the Company and all amendments  thereto
     (the "By-laws").

          (3)    A  certificate of the Secretary of State of the  State  of
     Delaware,  dated  June 12, 1995, attesting to the continued  corporate
     existence and good standing of the Company in that State.

I have also examined the originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction,
of  such corporate records of the Company (including resolutions adopted by
the  Board  of Directors of the Company), certificates of public  officials
and  of officers of the Company, and agreements, instruments and documents,
as  I  have  deemed  necessary  as a basis  for  the  opinions  hereinafter
expressed.  As to questions of fact material to such opinions, I have, when
relevant  facts  were  not independently established  by  me,  relied  upon
certificates of the Company or its officers or of public officials.  I have
assumed  the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization,  of
the Credit Agreement by the Initial Lenders and the Agent.

          I am qualified to practice law in the State of New York, and I do
not  purport  to be expert in, or to express any opinion herein concerning,
any  laws  other  than  the  laws of the State of  New  York,  the  General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United
States.

           Based  upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I  have
deemed necessary, I am of the following opinion:

           1.    The  Company (a) is a corporation duly organized,  validly
     existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
     (b)  is  duly  qualified  as  a  foreign  corporation  in  each  other
     jurisdiction  in  which it owns or leases property  or  in  which  the
     conduct  of its business requires it to so qualify or be licensed  and
     (c)  has  all requisite corporate power and authority to own or  lease
     and  operate  its  properties and to carry  on  its  business  as  now
     conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

           2.    The execution, delivery and performance by the Company  of
     the   Credit  Agreement  and  the  Notes  of  the  Company,  and   the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, are within  the
     Company's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary
     corporate action, and do not (i) contravene the Charter or the By-laws
     or (ii) violate any law (including, without limitation, the Securities
     Exchange  Act  of  1934  and  the  Racketeer  Influenced  and  Corrupt
     Organizations  Chapter of the Organized Crime Control  Act  of  1970),
     rule,  regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of  the
     Board  of  Governors of the Federal Reserve System)  or  any  material
     order,   writ,   judgment,   decree,   determination   or   award   or
     (iii)  conflict  with  or result in the breach  of,  or  constitute  a
     default  under,  any  material indenture, loan  or  credit  agreement,
     lease,  mortgage,  security  agreement,  bond,  note  or  any  similar
     document.  The Credit Agreement and the Notes of the Company have been
     duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.

           3.    No  authorization, approval, or other action  by,  and  no
     notice  to  or filing with, any governmental authority, administrative
     agency or regulatory body, or any third party is required for the  due
     execution,  delivery  and performance by the  Company  of  the  Credit
     Agreement or the Notes of the Company, or for the consummation of  the
     transactions contemplated thereby.

           4.    The Credit Agreement is, and each Note of the Company when
     delivered  under  the Credit Agreement will be, the legal,  valid  and
     binding  obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company  in
     accordance  with their respective terms, except as the  enforceability
     thereof  may  be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization  or
     moratorium  or  other  similar laws relating  to  the  enforcement  of
     creditors'   rights  generally  or  by  the  application  of   general
     principles  of  equity (regardless of whether such  enforceability  is
     considered  in  a proceeding in equity or at law), and except  that  I
     express  no opinion as to (i) the subject matter jurisdiction  of  the
     District  Courts  of the United States of America  to  adjudicate  any
     controversy  relating to the Credit Agreement  or  the  Notes  of  the
     Company or (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction (other  than
     the State of New York) wherein any Lender or Applicable Lending Office
     may  be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or  the
     Notes  of  the  Company may be sought which limits rates  of  interest
     which may be charged or collected by such Lender.

           5.    There  is  no action, suit, investigation,  litigation  or
     proceeding  against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before  any
     court,  governmental agency or arbitrator now pending or, to the  best
     of  my  knowledge,  Threatened that is reasonably  likely  to  have  a
     Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Litigation) or  that
     purports  to  affect the legality, validity or enforceability  of  the
     Credit Agreement or any Note of the Company or the consummation of the
     transactions  contemplated  thereby, and there  has  been  no  adverse
     change in the status, or financial effect on the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries,  of  the  Disclosed Litigation from  that  described  on
     Schedule 3.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.

           6.    The  Company  is  not an "investment company"  within  the
     meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

           7.  The Company is not a "holding company" within the meaning of
     the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

           In  connection  with  the  opinions expressed  by  me  above  in
paragraph  4,  I  wish  to  point out that (i)  provisions  of  the  Credit
Agreement  that  permit  the Agent or any Lender to  take  action  or  make
determinations may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or
such  determinations  be  made on a reasonable basis  and  in  good  faith,
(ii)  that  a  party  to  whom  an  advance  is  owed  may,  under  certain
circumstances,  be  called  upon to prove the  outstanding  amount  of  the
Advances  evidenced  thereby and (iii) the rights  of  the  Agent  and  the
Lenders  provided  for in Section 9.04(b) of the Credit  Agreement  may  be
limited in certain circumstances.

           I  am aware that Shearman & Sterling will rely upon the opinions

               EXHIBIT H - FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
                     TO A DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARY



                                                  ____________, 19__



To each of the Lenders parties
  to the Credit Agreement
  (as defined below),
  and to Citibank, N.A., as Agent
  for said Lenders


Ladies and Gentlemen:

           In  my capacity as counsel to _____________________ ("Designated
Subsidiary"),  I have reviewed that certain 364-Day Credit Agreement  dated
as  of  June  30, 1995 among AlliedSignal Inc., the Lenders named  therein,
Citibank,  N.A.,  as  Agent for such Lenders, and ABN AMRO  Bank  N.V.  and
Morgan  Guaranty  Trust  Company of New York,  as  Co-Agents  (the  "Credit
Agreement").   In connection therewith, I have also examined the  following
documents:

           (i)  The Designation Letter (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
     executed by the Designated Subsidiary.

               [such other documents as counsel may wish to refer to]

           I  have  also  reviewed such matters of  law  and  examined  the
original,  certified,  conformed  or  photographic  copies  of  such  other
documents,  records,  agreements  and certificates  as  I  have  considered
relevant hereto.

           Except  as expressly specified herein all terms used herein  and
defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed
to them in the Credit Agreement.

          Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

           1.    The  Designated  Subsidiary  (a)  is  a  corporation  duly
     incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws  of
     _________________________,  (b)  is  duly  qualified  in  each   other
     jurisdiction  in  which it owns or leases property  or  in  which  the
     conduct  of its business requires it to so qualify or be licensed  and
     (c)  has  all requisite corporate power and authority to own or  lease
     and  operate  its  properties and to carry  on  its  business  as  now
     conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

           2.    The  execution, delivery and performance by the Designated
     Subsidiary  of  its Designation Letter, the Credit Agreement  and  its
     Notes,  and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby,
     are  within  the Designated Subsidiary's corporate powers,  have  been
     duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not and will
     not  cause  or  constitute  a violation of any  provision  of  law  or
     regulation   or   any   material  order,   writ,   judgment,   decree,
     determination or award or any provision of the charter or  by-laws  or
     other      constituent      documents      of      the      Designated
     Subsidiary or result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require
     any  consent under, or result in the creation of any lien,  charge  or
     encumbrance  upon any of the properties, revenues, or  assets  of  the
     Designated  Subsidiary pursuant to, any material  indenture  or  other
     agreement or instrument to which the Designated Subsidiary is a  party
     or  by which the Designated Subsidiary or its property may be bound or
     affected.   The  Designation Letter and each Note  of  the  Designated
     Subsidiary  has  been duly executed and delivered  on  behalf  of  the
     Designated Subsidiary.

           3.    The  Credit Agreement and the Designation  Letter  of  the
     Designated  Subsidiary are, and each Note of the Designated Subsidiary
     when  delivered under the Credit Agreement will be, the  legal,  valid
     and  binding  obligation of the Designated Subsidiary  enforceable  in
     accordance  with their respective terms, except as the  enforceability
     thereof  may  be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization  or
     moratorium  or  other  similar laws relating  to  the  enforcement  of
     creditors'   rights  generally  or  by  the  application  of   general
     principles  of  equity (regardless of whether such  enforceability  is
     considered  in  a proceeding in equity or at law), and except  that  I
     express  no opinion as to (i) the subject matter jurisdiction  of  the
     District  Courts  of the United States of America  to  adjudicate  any
     controversy  relating to the Credit Agreement, the Designation  Letter
     of the Designated Subsidiary or the Notes of the Designated Subsidiary
     or  (ii)  the  effect of the law of any jurisdiction (other  than  the
     State of New York) wherein any Lender or Applicable Lending Office may
     be  located  or  wherein  enforcement of  the  Credit  Agreement,  the
     Designation  Letter of the Designated Subsidiary or the Notes  of  the
     Designated  Subsidiary may be sought which limits  rates  of  interest
     which may be charged or collected by such Lender.

           4.    There  is  no action, suit, investigation,  litigation  or
     proceeding  at law or in equity before any court, governmental  agency
     or arbitration now pending or, to the best of my knowledge and belief,
     Threatened against the Designated Subsidiary that is reasonably likely
     to  have  a  Material Adverse Effect or that purports  to  affect  the
     legality, validity or enforceability of the Designation Letter of  the
     Designated  Subsidiary,  the  Credit Agreement  or  any  Note  of  the
     Designated   Subsidiary  or  the  consummation  of  the   transactions
     contemplated thereby.

          5.   No authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses, filings or
     registrations  by or with any governmental authority or administrative
     body  are required for the due execution, delivery and performance  by
     the  Designated  Subsidiary  of  its Designation  Letter,  the  Credit
     Agreement  or the Notes of the Designated Subsidiary except  for  such
     authorizations,    consents,   approvals,   licenses,    filings    or
     registrations as have heretofore been made, obtained or  affected  and
     are in full force and effect.

          6.   The  Designated Subsidiary is not an "investment  company"
     within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          7.   The Designated Subsidiary is not a "holding company" within
     the  meaning  of the Public Utility Holding Company Act  of  1935,  as
     amended.

          In  connection  with  the  opinions expressed  by  me  above  in
paragraph  3,  I  wish  to  point out that (i)  provisions  of  the  Credit
Agreement  which  permit the Agent or any Lender to  take  action  or  make
determinations may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or
such determinations be made on a reasonable basis and in good faith, (ii) a
party  to  whom  an  advance is owed may, under certain  circumstances,  be
called  upon  to  prove  the outstanding amount of the  Advances  evidenced
thereby and (iii) the rights of the Agent and the Lenders provided  for  in
Section  9.04(b)  of  the  Credit  Agreement  may  be  limited  in  certain
circumstances.

                                   Very truly yours,




                    EXHIBIT I - FORM OF OPINION
                      OF SHEARMAN & STERLING,
                        COUNSEL TO THE AGENT


                          [S&S LETTERHEAD]




                           June 30, 1995


To the Lenders listed on
  Exhibit A hereto and
  to Citibank, N.A., as
  Agent


                         AlliedSignal Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           We  have  acted  as  counsel to Citibank.  N.A.,  as  Agent,  in
connection  with  the preparation, execution and delivery  of  the  364-Day
Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 1995 (the "Credit Agreement"), among
AlliedSignal  Inc. (the "Company") and each of you.  Terms defined  in  the
Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

          In that connection, we have examined the following documents:

           (1)   Counterparts of the Credit Agreement, executed by each  of
     the parties thereto.

           (2)   The documents furnished by the Company pursuant to Article
     III  of the Credit Agreement and listed on Exhibit B hereto, including
     the  opinion of Victor P. Patrick, Assistant General Counsel  for  the
     Company.

           In  our examination of the documents referred to above, we  have
assumed  the  authenticity  of  all  such  documents  submitted  to  us  as
originals,  the  genuineness of all signatures, the due  authority  of  the
parties executing such documents and the conformity to the originals of all
such  documents submitted to us as copies.  We have also assumed that  each
of  the  Lenders  and the Agent has duly executed and delivered,  with  all
necessary  power  and  authority  (corporate  and  otherwise),  the  Credit
Agreement.   To  the  extent  that  our opinions  expressed  below  involve
conclusions as to the matters set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and  3  of  the
above-mentioned  opinion  of Victor P. Patrick,  we  have  assumed  without
independent investigation the correctness of the matters set forth in  such
paragraphs.

          Based upon the foregoing examination of documents and assumptions
and  upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary, we  are  of
the  opinion that the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof  is,
and  each  of  the  Notes of the Company when delivered  under  the  Credit
Agreement  will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the  Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.

          Our above opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

           (a)  Such opinion is subject to the effect of general principles
     of  equity,  including (without limitation) concepts  of  materiality,
     reasonableness,  good  faith and fair dealing (regardless  of  whether
     considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (b)  Such opinion is also subject to the effect of any applicable
     bankruptcy,  insolvency  (including,  without  limitation,  all   laws
     relating  to  fraudulent  transfers),  reorganization,  moratorium  or
     similar law affecting creditors' rights generally.

           (c)  Such opinion is limited to the law of the State of New York
     and  the  Federal law of the United States, and we do not express  any
     opinion  herein  concerning  any  other  law.   Without  limiting  the
     generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the effect of
     the  law  of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein
     any  Lender  or  Applicable Lending Office may be located  or  wherein
     enforcement  of the Credit Agreement or any Note may be  sought  which
     limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

           A  copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any Lender to
any  financial  institution in connection with, and at  the  time  of,  any
assignment and delegation by such Lender under the Credit Agreement to such
financial institution of all or a portion of the rights and obligations  of
such Lender under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the provisions of
the  Credit  Agreement,  and such financial institution  may  rely  on  the
opinion  expressed  above  as if this opinion  letter  were  addressed  and
delivered to such financial institution on the date hereof.

          This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof.  We do not
assume,  and expressly disclaim, any responsibility to advise  you  or  any
other  person who is permitted to rely on any opinion expressed  herein  as
specified in the next preceding paragraph of any change of law or fact that
may occur after the date of this opinion letter even though such change may
affect  the  legal analysis, any legal conclusion or any other  matter  set
forth  in  or  relating  to this opinion letter.  Accordingly,  any  person
relying  on  this  opinion letter at any time should  seek  advice  of  its
counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time.


                                   Very truly yours,
