<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more distinct series. This section summarizes the material terms of the debt
securities that we anticipate will be common to all series. Most of the financial and other specific terms of any series of debt securities that we offer will be described in a related prospectus supplement. Since the terms of specific debt
securities may differ from the general information we have provided below, you should rely on information in the prospectus supplement that contradicts different information below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As required by federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a document
called an &#147;indenture.&#148; An indenture is a contract between us and a financial institution acting as trustee on behalf of holders of our debt securities. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce the rights of holders
against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on behalf of holders, as described below. Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of January&nbsp;15,
1997, as previously amended and supplemented (the &#147;Indenture&#148;), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">successor-in-interest</FONT></FONT>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">successor-in-interest</FONT></FONT> to Fleet National Bank), as trustee. The Indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee, each with respect to one or more series of debt securities. If there is more than one
trustee under the Indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee as described in this prospectus will extend only to the series of debt securities for which it acts as the trustee. The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;Trust Indenture Act&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every
aspect of the debt securities and the Indenture. We urge you to read the Indenture, because it, and not this description, defines the rights of holders of our debt securities. We have filed the Indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part that we filed with the SEC. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; above for information on how to obtain a copy of the Indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except if specified otherwise in the prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities, the debt securities will not be listed

under the Indenture, when a single trustee is acting for all debt securities issued under the Indenture, are called the &#147;Indenture Securities.&#148; The Indenture also provides that there may be more than one trustee, each with respect to one
or more different series of indenture securities. See &#147;Resignation of Trustee&#148; below. At a time when two or more trustees are acting under the Indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the term &#147;Indenture Securities&#148;
means the one or more series of debt securities with respect to which each respective trustee is acting. In the event that there is more than one trustee under the Indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee described in this
prospectus will extend only to the one or more series of Indenture Securities for which it is trustee. If two or more trustees are acting under the Indenture, then the Indenture Securities for which each trustee is acting would be treated as if
issued under separate indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture does not contain any provisions that give holders protection in the event we issue a

of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have the ability to issue Indenture Securities with terms

payable in or denominated in one or more currencies (other than U.S. dollars) the prospectus supplement will describe any restrictions, elections, terms and other information relating to those series and currencies, and will contain a discussion of
the United States federal income tax and other considerations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Covenants Applicable to Senior Securities </B></P>

prospectus supplement. This means debt securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary that will hold them on behalf of financial institutions that participate in the depositary&#146;s
book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the debt securities held by the depositary or its nominee. These institutions may hold these interests on behalf of themselves or customers. </P>

Consequently, for debt securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the debt securities and we will make all payments on the debt securities to the depositary. The depositary will then pass along the
payments it receives to its participants, which in turn will pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their
customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the debt securities. As a result, investors will not own debt securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other
financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the debt securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not holders, of the debt
securities. </P>

Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose (for example, to amend an indenture or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture), we would

holders, against surrender of the debt security. All payments by check will be made in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">next-day</FONT> funds&#151;funds that become available on the day after the check is cashed. </P>

that becomes due on the debt security by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank in New York City, on the due date. To request payment by wire, the holder must give the applicable trustee or other paying agent
appropriate transfer instructions at least 15 business days before the requested wire payment is due. In the case of any interest payment due on an interest payment date, the instructions must be given by the person who is the holder on the relevant
regular record date. Any wire instructions, once properly given, will remain in effect unless and until new instructions are given in the manner described above. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payment When Offices Are Closed.</I> If any payment is due on a debt security on a day that is not a business day, we will make the payment
on the next day that is a business day. Payments postponed to the next business day in this situation will be treated under the Indenture as if they were made on the original due date. A postponement of this kind will not result in a default under
any debt security or the Indenture, and no interest will accrue on the postponed amount from the original due date to the next day that is a business day. </P>

otherwise affect the price of the securities and our common stock. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters or
agents of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in the offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; or agents&#146; option to purchase additional securities
from us in the offering. The underwriters or agents may close out any covered short position by either exercising the option to purchase additional securities or purchasing securities in the open market. In determining the source of the securities
to close out the covered short position, the underwriters or agents will consider, among other things, the price of our securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase our securities through
the option. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in excess of the option. The underwriters or agents must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the
underwriters or agents are concerned that there may be a downward pressure on the price of our securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of
certain bids for or purchases of the securities made by the underwriters or agents in the open market prior to the completion of the offering. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent
market levels. The underwriters or agents are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P>

offered securities for whom they may act as agents. The underwriters may sell offered securities to or through dealers, who may also receive compensation from purchasers of the offered securities for whom they may act as agents. Compensation may be
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by
them from us and any profit on the resale of the offered securities by them may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. </P>

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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

judgment for money in an action based on a Debt Security or the Indenture denominated in a currency other than United States dollars in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be rendered or enforced in the United States only
in United States dollars. The date and method used to determine the rate of conversion of a foreign currency into United States dollars will depend on various factors, including which court renders the judgment. We express no opinion as to whether a
court would award a judgment in a currency other than United States dollars or the particular date or rate of exchange that would be used by such court in the entry of a judgment. </P>
