                         Description of Securities

     The securities covered by this Registration Statement consist of a
maximum of 100,000 shares of the company's common stock, together with the
related common stock purchase rights.  The registration of these shares
will allow the common stock to be:

     (a) issued to a participant in accordance with the terms of the plan
         and his or her election under the Deferral Election Form;

     (b) transferred to the trustee of the company's Deferred Compensation
         and Benefits Trust in connection with a potential or actual change
         in control of the company as set out in the plan provisions; and

     (c) freely sold, transferred, or exchanged (without further
         registration) by the trustee or participant following any
         distribution under (a) or (b).

     The stock units covered by this Registration Statement are notional
units credited to participants' accounts based on the amount of their
performance award, if any, elected to be deferred under this method,
accrued dividends, and any company match.  Each stock unit is equal in
value to one share of the company's common stock.


                  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent
public accountants, as indicated in their report accompanying the
statements.  These financial statements are incorporated by reference in
reliance upon the authority of that firm in giving such reports as experts
in accounting and auditing.

     The legality of the issuance of the common stock is being passed upon
for us by John W. Holleran, our Senior Vice President, Human Resources, and
General Counsel.  As of June 30, 1999, Mr. Holleran was the beneficial
owner of 1,200 shares of our common stock and 915 shares of our Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series D, in the Employee Stock Option Plan.  Mr. Holleran
holds options to purchase shares of our common stock under a company stock
option plan and holds stock units under the 1995 Executive Officer Deferred
Compensation Plan.


                 Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes the
company to indemnify its directors and officers under specified
circumstances. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide
that we shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, our
directors, officers, and employees against liabilities (including expenses,
judgments, and settlements) incurred by them in connection with any actual
or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to which they are or may become
parties and which arise out of their status as directors, officers, or
employees.  The company has also entered into agreements with each director
to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling the company pursuant to the above provisions, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933.  These provisions are, therefore, unenforceable.

     Our directors and officers are insured, under insurance policies
maintained by the company, against certain expenses incurred in the defense
of actions, suits, or proceedings and certain liabilities which might be
imposed as a result of such actions, suits, or proceedings, to which they
are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers
(subject to policy limitations).


                                 Exhibits

     Required exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits and are
incorporated by reference.



                               Undertakings

     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)  Not applicable.

          (ii)  Not applicable.

         (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.

     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.  Not applicable.

     5.  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 (and,
         where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
         report pursuant to 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.

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

                         Description of Securities

     The securities covered by this Registration Statement consist of a
maximum of 100,000 shares of the company's common stock, together with the
related common stock purchase rights.  The registration of these shares
will allow the common stock to be:

     (a) issued to a participant in accordance with the terms of the plan
         and his or her election under the Deferral Election Form;

     (b) transferred to the trustee of the company's Deferred Compensation
         and Benefits Trust in connection with a potential or actual change
         in control of the company as set out in the plan provisions; and

     (c) freely sold, transferred, or exchanged (without further
         registration) by the trustee or participant following any
         distribution under (a) or (b).

     The stock units covered by this Registration Statement are notional
units credited to participants' accounts based on the amount of their
performance award, if any, elected to be deferred under this method,
accrued dividends, and any company match.  Each stock unit is equal in
value to one share of the company's common stock.

                  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent
public accountants, as indicated in their report accompanying the
statements.  These financial statements are incorporated by reference in
reliance upon the authority of that firm in giving such reports as experts
in accounting and auditing.

     The legality of the issuance of the common stock is being passed upon
for us by John W. Holleran, our Senior Vice President, Human Resources, and
General Counsel.  As of June 30, 1999, Mr. Holleran was the beneficial
owner of 1,200 shares of our common stock and 915 shares of our Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series D, in the Employee Stock Option Plan.  Mr. Holleran
holds options to purchase shares of our common stock under a company stock
option plan and holds stock units under the 1995 Executive Officer Deferred
Compensation Plan.

                 Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes the
company to indemnify its directors and officers under specified
circumstances. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide
that we shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, our
directors, officers, and employees against liabilities (including expenses,
judgments, and settlements) incurred by them in connection with any actual
or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to which they are or may become
parties and which arise out of their status as directors, officers, or
employees.  The company has also entered into agreements with each director
to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling the company pursuant to the above provisions, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933.  These provisions are, therefore, unenforceable.

     Our directors and officers are insured, under insurance policies
maintained by the company, against certain expenses incurred in the defense
of actions, suits, or proceedings and certain liabilities which might be
imposed as a result of such actions, suits, or proceedings, to which they
are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers
(subject to policy limitations).

                                 Exhibits

     Required exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits and are
incorporated by reference.

                               Undertakings

     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)  Not applicable.

          (ii)  Not applicable.

         (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.

     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.  Not applicable.

     5.  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 (and,
         where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
         report pursuant to 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.

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