Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record
of the Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 immediately
preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing
May 15, 1998.
If the exchange offer contemplated by Registration-Statement

then the interest rate per annum accruing on the Notes shall, effective May 19,
1998, be increased by 0.5% per annum, until the exchange offer is completed or
such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective. The Holder of this
Note is entitled to the benefits of such Registration Rights Agreement.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from November
19, 1997; provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of
interest and this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred
