AlliedSignal Inc.
Debt Securities
------------
This Prospectus covers debt securities (the "Debt
Securities") to be issued for proceeds of up to $600,000,000 (or
the equivalent in foreign denominated currency or composite
currencies) which AlliedSignal Inc. (the "Company") may issue
from time to time in one or more series. The Debt Securities
will be offered directly, or through agents designated from time
to time, or through broker-dealers or underwriters also to be
designated. The Debt Securities will be offered to the public on
terms determined by market conditions at the time of sale. The
Debt Securities may be sold for U.S. dollars, foreign denominated
currency or composite currencies, and principal of and any
interest on the Debt Securities may likewise be payable in U.S.
dollars, foreign denominated currency or composite currencies.
The currency for which the Debt Securities may be purchased and
the currency in which principal of and any interest on the Debt
Securities may be payable may be specifically designated by the
Company.
The designation, principal amount, offering price, maturity,
interest rate, and redemption provisions, if any, of the Debt Securities,
and the name of each agent, broker-dealer or underwriter, if any, in
connection with the sale of the Debt Securities are set forth in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement").
If an agent of the Company or a broker-dealer or underwriter
is involved in the sale of the Debt Securities in respect of
which this Prospectus is being delivered, the agent's commission
or broker-dealer's or underwriter's discount will be set forth
in, or may be calculated from, the Prospectus Supplement. The
proceeds to the Company will be the purchase price in the case of
sale through an agent or a broker-dealer and the public offering
price in the case of sale through an underwriter. Net proceeds
to the Company will be the purchase price less commission in the
case of an agent, the purchase price in the case of a broker-
dealer and the public offering price less discount in the case of
an underwriter, less, in each case, other issuance expenses. See

(a) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is generally computed by
dividing the sum of net income (excluding the cumulative effect of
accounting changes in 1992 and 1993), income taxes and fixed charges
(net of capitalized interest) less undistributed equity income by fixed
charges. Fixed charges represent gross interest and amortization of
debt discount and expense and the interest factor of all rentals,
consisting of an appropriate interest factor on operating leases.
The ratio also includes the Company's share of the earnings and fixed
charges of significant joint ventures.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as may otherwise be disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement, the net proceeds to be received by the Company from
sales of the Debt Securities will be used for general corporate
purposes which may include working capital, capital expenditures,
stock repurchases, repayment of borrowings and acquisitions.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following statements are subject to the detailed
provisions of the Indenture dated as of October 1, 1985, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of
February 1, 1991 and by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated
as of November 1, 1997 (collectively, the "Indenture") between
the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). References to particular sections of the Indenture
are noted below.
General
The Company has issued debt securities in the principal
amount of $1,025,500,000 under the Indenture. The Indenture does
not limit the amount of debt securities which may be issued
thereunder. The Debt Securities to which this Prospectus relates
will be issued from time to time with aggregate proceeds of up to
$600,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in foreign denominated
currency or composite currencies, and will be offered to the
public on terms determined by market conditions at the time of
sale. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series
with the same or various maturities and may be sold at par or at
an original issue discount. Debt Securities sold at an original
issue discount may bear no interest or interest at a rate which
is below market rates. The Debt Securities will be unsecured and
issued in fully registered form without coupons or, if specified
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, in bearer form with
coupons (Sections 301 and 302).
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement for the
following terms to the extent they are applicable to the Debt
Securities offered hereby: (i) designation, aggregate principal
amount, denomination and currency; (ii) date of maturity; (iii)
currency or currencies for which Debt Securities may be purchased
and currency or currencies in which principal of and any interest
may be payable; (iv) if the currency for which Debt Securities
may be purchased or in which principal of and any interest may be
payable is at the purchaser's election, the manner in which such
an election may be made; (v) interest rate; (vi) the times at which
interest will be payable; (vii) redemption date and redemption price;
(viii) federal income tax consequences; and (ix) any other specific
terms of the Debt Securities.
Covenants Contained in Indenture
The Company will covenant not to issue, assume or guarantee
any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by liens on (a) any
property located in the United States which is (i) in the opinion
of the Board of Directors, a principal manufacturing property or
(ii) an oil, gas or mineral producing property, or (b) any shares
of capital stock or indebtedness of any subsidiary owning such
property, without equally and ratably securing the Debt
Securities, subject to certain exceptions specified in the
Indenture. Exceptions include: (1) existing liens on property of
the Company or liens on property of corporations at the time such
corporations become subsidiaries of or are merged with the
Company; (2) liens existing on property when acquired, or
incurred to finance the purchase price thereof; (3) certain liens
on property to secure the cost of exploration, drilling or
development of, or improvements on, such property; (4) certain
liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental
entities; and (5) indebtedness secured by liens otherwise
prohibited by such covenant not exceeding 10% of the consolidated
net tangible assets of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries. Transfers of oil, gas or other minerals in place
for a period of time until the transferee receives a specified
amount of money or of such minerals or any other transfers
commonly referred to as "production payments," are outside the
scope of this covenant and are thus permitted without
restriction. The Company will also covenant not to enter into
any sale and lease-back transaction covering any property located
in the United States which is (i) in the opinion of the Board of
Directors, a principal manufacturing property or (ii) an oil, gas
or mineral producing property, unless (1) the Company would be
entitled under the provisions described above in this paragraph
to incur debt equal to the value of such sale and lease-back
transactions, secured by liens on the property to be leased,
without equally securing the outstanding Debt Securities, or (2)
the Company, during the four months following the effective date
of such sale and lease-back transaction, applies an amount equal
to the value of such sale and lease-back transaction to the
voluntary retirement of long-term indebtedness of the Company or
a subsidiary (Sections 101, 1005 and 1006).
Other than as described above and except as may be otherwise
specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture
does not contain covenants specifically designed to protect
Holders in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving
the Company.
Consolidation, Merger And Sale Of Assets
The Company, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the Outstanding Debt Securities under the Indenture, may
consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any
Person which is a corporation, partnership or trust organized and
validly existing under the laws of any domestic jurisdiction,
provided that (1) any successor Person assumes by supplemental
indenture the Company's obligations on the Debt Securities and
under the Indenture and (2) after giving effect to the
transaction no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice
or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture (Section 801).
Defeasance Provisions
Defeasance And Discharge. The Indenture provides that, if
principal of and any interest on the Debt Securities are
denominated and payable in United States dollars, the Company
will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the
Debt Securities (except for certain obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, to replace stolen, lost
or mutilated Debt Securities, to maintain paying agencies and to
hold moneys for payment in trust) upon the deposit with the
Trustee, in trust, of money, non-callable U.S. Government
Obligations (as defined) or a combination thereof, which through
the payment of interest and principal thereof in accordance with
their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any
installment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Debt
Securities on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture and such Debt Securities. Such
discharge may only occur if there has been a change in applicable
Federal law such that, or the Company has received from, or there
has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service
a ruling to the effect that, such deposit, defeasance and
discharge will not be deemed, or result in, a taxable event with
respect to holders of the Debt Securities; and such discharge
will not be applicable to any Debt Securities then listed on the
New York Stock Exchange if the provision would cause said Debt
Securities to be de-listed as a result thereof (Section 403).
The term "U.S. Government Obligations" is defined to mean direct
obligations of the United States of America, backed by its full
faith and credit (Section 101).
Defeasance Of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit to
comply with certain restrictive covenants described in Sections
1005 (Limitation on Mortgages) and 1006 (Limitation on Sale and
Lease-Back) of the Indenture. To exercise such option, the
Company must deposit with the Trustee money, non-callable U.S.
Government Obligations or a combination thereof, which through
the payment of interest and principal thereof in accordance with
their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay any
installment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Debt
Securities on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture and such Debt Securities. The
Company will also be required to deliver to the Trustee an
opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related
covenant defeasance will not cause the holders of the Debt
Securities to recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes (Section 1008).
Defeasance And Events Of Default. In the event the Company
exercises its option to omit compliance with certain covenants of
the Indenture and the Debt Securities are declared due and
payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
amount of money and U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with
the Trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Debt
Securities at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be
sufficient to pay amounts due on the Debt Securities at the time
of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default.
However, the Company shall remain liable for such payments.
Modification and Waiver
Other than modifications and amendments not adverse to
holders of the Debt Securities, modifications and amendments of
the Indenture and waivers of compliance with Indenture covenants
may be made only with the consent of the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Debt Securities of
each series to be affected outstanding at that time (voting as a
class); provided, however, that the consent of all holders of
each outstanding series of Debt Securities affected thereby will
be required, among other things, to (a) change the stated
maturity of such Debt Securities; (b) reduce the principal amount
thereof; (c) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest or premium, if any, thereon; (d) impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after the respective due dates thereof; or (e) reduce the
percentage of in principal amount of Debt Securities required to
approve any supplemental indenture or any waiver under the
Indenture (Section 902). The holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Debt
Securities of each series affected thereby may waive any past
default under the Indenture and its consequences, except a
default (a) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on such Debt Securities, or (b) in respect of a
covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of all the holders of each outstanding series of Debt
Securities affected thereby (Section 507).
Information Concerning the Trustee
The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") is also the trustee under
the indenture under which the Company's Serial Zero Coupon Bonds
Due 1997-2009 are outstanding and is fiscal agent for the
Company's 8% Bonds Due May 15, 2006. The Company has a credit
agreement with a group of banks including Chase under which Chase
has a commitment of $50 million. The Company maintains deposit
accounts and conducts other banking transactions with Chase.
Events of Default
Events of Default with respect to any series of Debt
Securities under the Indenture include: (a) default in payment of
any principal of or premium, if any, on such series, except for
principal due upon sinking fund redemptions; (b) default in the
payment of any installment of interest or sinking fund
redemption, if any, on such series and continuance of such
default for a period of 30 days; (c) default for 90 days after
notice in the performance of any other covenant in the Indenture;
or (d) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
in respect of the Company (Section 501). The Trustee may
withhold notice to the holders of Debt Securities of any default
(except in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on such series of Debt Securities) if it considers such
withholding to be in the interest of holders of Debt Securities
(Section 508). No Event of Default with respect to a particular
series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture necessarily
constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series
of Debt Securities.
On the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of Debt
Securities of each such series then outstanding may declare the
principal (or in the case of Debt Securities sold at an original
issue discount, the amount specified in the terms thereof) to be
due and payable immediately (Section 501). Upon payment of such
amount, together with any premium or interest due thereon, if
any, all the Company's obligations in respect to payment of
indebtedness on such Debt Securities will terminate (Sections
401, 501 and 502).
Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, certain
officers of the Company are required to inform the Trustee
whether they know of any default under the Indenture, specifying
any such default and the nature and status thereof (Section
1004). Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of
default, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of
its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any holders of Debt Securities unless such holders
of Debt Securities shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity (Section 603).
Global Securities
The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in
part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global
Securities") that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a
depositary (the "Depositary") identified in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities may be
issued in either registered or bearer form and in either
temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged
in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form, a
Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such
Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee
of such successor (Sections 203 and 302).
The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with
respect to any Debt Securities of a series will be described in
the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series if other than
or in addition to the description below. The Company anticipates
that the following provisions will apply to all depositary
arrangements.
Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary for
such Global Security will credit, on its book-entry registration
and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt
Securities represented by such Global Security to the accounts of
institutions that have accounts with such Depositary
("participants"). The accounts to be credited shall be
designated by the underwriters of such Debt Securities, by
certain agents of the Company or by the Company, if such Debt
Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be
limited to participants or persons that may hold interests
through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such
Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that
ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by
the Depositary for such Global Security or by participants or
persons that hold through participants. The laws of some states
require that certain purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and
such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests
in a Global Security.
So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its
nominee, is the owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or
such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole
owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Global
Security for all purposes under the Indenture governing such Debt
Securities. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have Debt
Securities of the series represented by such Global Security
registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to
receive physical delivery of Debt Securities of such series in
definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders
thereof under the Indenture governing such Debt Securities.
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global
Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if
such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the
participant and, if applicable, the indirect participant, through
which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a
holder under the Indenture.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on Debt
Securities registered in the name of or held by a Depositary or
its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered owner or the holder of the Global
Security representing such Debt Securities. None of the Company,
the Trustee for such Debt Securities, any paying agent or the
security registrar for such Debt Securities will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a Global Security for such Debt Securities or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests.
The Company expects that the Depositary for Debt Securities
of a series, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or
interest in respect of a definitive Global Security, will credit
immediately participants' accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the
principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records
of such Depositary. The Company also expects that payments by
participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Security held through such participants will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case
with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form
or registered in "street name", and will be the responsibility of
such participants.
If a Depositary for Debt Securities of a series is at any
time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary and a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90
days, the Company will issue Debt Securities of such series in
definitive form in exchange for the Global Security or Securities
representing the Debt Securities of such series. In addition,
the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
not to have any Debt Securities of a series represented by one or
more Global Securities and, in such event, will issue Debt
Securities of such series in definitive form in exchange for the
Global Security or Securities representing such Debt Securities.
Further, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security
representing Debt Securities of such series may, on terms
acceptable to the Company and the Depositary for such Global
Security, receive Debt Securities of such series in definitive
form. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in
a Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in
definitive form of Debt Securities of the series represented by
such Global Security equal in principal amount to such beneficial
interest and to have such Debt Securities registered in its name
(if the Debt Securities of such series are issuable as Registered
Securities) (Section 203). Unless otherwise specified in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement, Debt Securities of such series
so issued in definitive form will be issued as Registered
Securities in denominations, unless otherwise specified by the
Company, of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company may sell the Debt Securities being offered
hereby: (i) directly to purchasers; (ii) through agents; (iii) to
broker-dealers as principals; and (iv) through underwriters.
Offers to purchase Debt Securities may be solicited directly
by the Company or by agents designated by the Company from time
to time. Any such agent, who may be deemed to be an underwriter
as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"), involved in the offer or sale of the Debt Securities in
respect of which this Prospectus is delivered will be named, and
any commissions payable by the Company to such agent set forth,
in a Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in such
Prospectus Supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best
efforts basis.
If a broker-dealer is utilized in the sale of the Debt
Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered, the
Company will sell such Debt Securities to the dealer, as
principal. The dealer may then resell such Debt Securities to
the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at
the time of resale.
If an underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale,
the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such
underwriters at the time of sale to them and the names of the
underwriters and the terms of the transaction will be set forth
in a Prospectus Supplement, which will be used by the
underwriters to make resales of the Debt Securities in respect of
which this Prospectus is delivered to the public.
Agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be entitled under
agreements which may be entered into with the Company to
indemnification by the Company against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Act, and may be customers of,
engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company
in the ordinary course of business.
The place and time of delivery for the Debt Securities in
respect of which this Prospectus is delivered are set forth in
the accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
incorporated in this Prospectus by reference to the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996
have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Price
Waterhouse LLP ("Price Waterhouse"), independent accountants,
given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and
accounting.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial
information of the Company for the three month periods ended
March 31, the three- and six-month periods ended June 30 and the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, Price Waterhouse
reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance
with professional standards for a review of such information.
However, their separate reports dated April 24, 1997, July 25,
1997 and October 27, 1997 incorporated by reference herein, state
that they did not audit and they did not express an opinion on
that unaudited financial information. Price Waterhouse has not
carried out any significant or additional tests beyond those
which would have been necessary if their report had not been
included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on
such information should be restricted in light of the limited
nature of the review procedures applied. Price Waterhouse is not
subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of the Act for
their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information
because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the
registration statement prepared or certified by Price Waterhouse
within the meaning of sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Article ELEVENTH of the Company's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, each person who is or was a director or officer
of the Company, and each director or officer of the Company who
serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the
request of the Company, shall be indemnified by the Company to
the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
Under such law, to the extent that such a person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a suit or
proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or
serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the
request of the Company, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with such action.
If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a
criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, such a person shall
be indemnified under such law against both (1) expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and (2) judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful.
If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the
right of the Company, or if such suit is settled, such a person
shall be indemnified under such law only against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
the defense or settlement of such suit if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company except
that if such a person is adjudged to be liable in such suit to
the Company, such person cannot be made whole even for expenses
unless the court determines that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
In addition, the Company maintains directors' and officers'
reimbursement and liability insurance pursuant to standard form
policies. The risks covered by such policies include certain
liabilities under the securities laws.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(b) under the Act shall
be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
time it was declared effective.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(6) To file an application for the purpose of
determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act, as
amended ("Trust Indenture Act") in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

purpose, inter alia, of making additional provisions in regard to

and at the same times, as would have been the case if such
deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and
(7) the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

with Section 801A, the successor Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Corporation is merged or to
which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed
to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Corporation under this Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person had been named as the
Corporation herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a
lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Debentures.
E. The Indenture as Amended is further amended by adding the
following to Article 10:

The following provisions shall apply to the Debentures of
each series issued on or after November 1, 1997 unless

comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
Sections 1005 and 1006 and any such omission with respect to

each case with respect to the Debentures of that series,
provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to the Debentures of such series on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Debentures;

respect to the Debentures of that series to have a conflicting
interest as defined in Section 608 and for purposes of the
Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Debentures of any
series;

lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to
the Debentures of that series shall have occurred and be

Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
