     / /   The Redemption Price shall initially be              % of the
principal amount of the Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each
anniversary of the initial Optional Redemption Date by             % of the
principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such
principal amount; provided, however, that in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Note, the Redemption Price shall be the Amortized Face Amount of
the principal amount to be redeemed.

     /X/   Other:

     The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time
to time, at the option of the Company, in each case at a redemption price
equal to the greater of (i) that percentage (the "Applicable Percentage")
of their Remaining Principal Amount to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the
present values of the Applicable Percentage of each of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments, discounted from the date each such Remaining Scheduled
Payment is due to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus
25 basis points, plus in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) accrued
interest to the date of redemption.

     In addition, all or any portion of the amount of principal of the
Notes to be paid on any one or more Amortizing Payment Dates, being in the
aggregate less than all of the Remaining Principal Amount, may be redeemed,
at the option of the Company, at any time before the earliest of such
Amortizing Payment Dates, at a price for each such Amortizing Payment Date
equal to the greater of (i) the amount of principal to be redeemed with
respect to such Amortizing Payment Date and (ii) the sum of the present
values of (a) the amount of principal to be redeemed, and (b) each payment
of interest that would accrue and be payable on the amount of principal to
be redeemed from and after the date of redemption, discounted from the date
each such payment would be due had such amount of principal not been
redeemed to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-
day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25
basis points, plus in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) accrued
interest to the date of redemption.  The applicable Treasury Rate will be
determined as set forth below on the basis of the Comparable Treasury
Issue, which will be selected based on the Remaining Average Life of the
Notes at the date of redemption or the time remaining to the Amortizing
Payment Date at the date of redemption, as set forth below.

     "Amortizing Payment Date" means each date set forth below in the
Amortization Schedule as a date on which an amortizing payment of principal
is scheduled to be made.

     "Comparable Treasury Issue"  means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity
comparable to the Remaining Average Life of the Notes that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the Remaining Average Life of the Notes (the
"Remaining Average Life Treasury Security"); provided, however, that in the
event of redemption of the amount of principal of the Notes to be paid on
an Amortizing Payment Date, being less than all of the Remaining Principal
Amount of the Notes, if the United States Treasury security selected as
aforesaid by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity
comparable to the period ending on such Amortizing Payment Date (the
"Amortizing Payment Date Treasury Security") shall be determined by the
Independent Investment Banker to have a lower yield, determined as set
forth under "Treasury Rate" below, than the Remaining Average Life Treasury
Security, then the Comparable Treasury Issue for purposes of fixing the
Treasury Rate shall be the Amortizing Payment Date Treasury Security.

     "Comparable Treasury Price"  means (A) the average of four Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for a redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the
Indenture Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     "Independent Investment Banker"  means Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the
Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of
national standing appointed by the Indenture Trustee after consultation
with the Company.

     "Reference Treasury Dealer"  means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
and its successors and three primary U.S. government securities dealers in
New York City (each a "Primary Treasury Dealer") selected by the Indenture
Trustee after consultation with the Company; provided, however, that if
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated shall cease to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Indenture Trustee shall substitute therefor another Primary
Treasury Dealer after consultation with the Company.

     "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations"  means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as
determined by the Indenture Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding such redemption date.

     "Remaining Average Life"  means, with respect to any Remaining
Principal Amount, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-
twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment
by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year)
that will elapse between the date of redemption of the Notes and the
scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment by (ii) such
Remaining Principal Amount.

     "Remaining Principal Amount"  means, with respect to any redemption
prior to maturity, the outstanding principal of the Notes that remains
unpaid at the time of such redemption.

     "Remaining Scheduled Payments"  means, with respect to the Remaining
Principal Amount, all payments of such Remaining Principal Amount and
interest accruable thereon that would be due after the date of redemption
to and including the Stated Maturity of the Notes if no payment of such
Remaining Principal Amount were made prior to its scheduled due date.

     "Treasury Rate"  means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the
yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately
preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated "H.15 (519)" or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury
securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities"  for the maturity most closely corresponding to the
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three
months before or after the maturity date, yields for the two published
maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the
nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not
published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not
contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such
redemption date.  The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Company on
the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.  "Business Day" means
any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, a legal holiday or a day on which
banking institutions in the cities of New York or Chicago are authorized or
obligated by law, executive order or governmental decree to be closed.

     Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed to each holder
of Notes to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption.

     Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption.

Plan of Distribution:
     The Notes will be sold to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter at 99.350% of the
principal amount of the Notes, for resale to one or more investors at the
Issue Price set forth above.

     In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, the Agent may engage
in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of
the Notes.  Specifically, the Agent may over-allot in connection with this
offering, creating short positions in the Notes for its own account.  In
addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the Notes,
the Agent may bid for, and purchase, Notes in the open market.  Finally,
the Agent may reclaim selling concessions allowed to a dealer for
distributing Notes in this offering, if the Agent repurchases previously
distributed Notes in transactions that cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise.  Any of these activities may
stabilize or maintain the market price of the Notes above independent
market levels.  The Agent is not required to engage in these activities,
and may end any of these activities at any time.

United States Tax Considerations:
     The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax
considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a Note that is a U.S.
holder (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), and that purchases the
Note at its original issuance.  This summary supplements, and should be
read together with, the section entitled "United States Tax Considerations"
in the Prospectus Supplement.

     In the event that the Company redeems an amount of principal of the
Notes (scheduled to be paid on one or more future Amortizing Payment Dates)
that is less than all of the Remaining Principal Amount, a U.S. holder will
be treated as receiving a payment in redemption of a portion of the Note.
The U.S. holder will be treated as realizing gain to the extent of the
excess (if any) of the redemption amount received (less any accrued
interest, which will be taxable as such), over the U.S. holder's tax basis
in the portion of the Note that is treated as redeemed.  A U.S. holder that
purchased its Note at original issuance at the Note's par value should
calculate its basis allocable to the redeemed portion of the Note as the
amount of principal, scheduled to be paid on the relevant future Amortizing
Payment Date(s), that the Company is redeeming.
