Effect of Termination of Employment

      The third paragraph under the section entitled "Effect of Termination of
Employment" (page 25 of the Prospectus) is amended effective as of December
20, 1997 by replacing that paragraph with the following:

       Death.  Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if a Participant
      Transferor dies while employed by the Company or any of its
      Subsidiaries, all of the Participant Transferor's unvested Non-
      Qualified Stock Options will immediately vest.  The Participant
      Transferor's successor will have the right to exercise any Non-
      Qualified Stock Option during the one-year period following the date
      of the Participant Transferor's death, but not later than the normal
      expiration date of the Non-Qualified Stock Option.

       Disability.  Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if a
      Participant Transferor becomes permanently and totally disabled while
      employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Participant
      Transferor's unvested Non-Qualified Stock Options will continue to
      vest while the Participant Transferor remains disabled.  The
      Participant Transferor will have the right to exercise any Non-
      Qualified Stock Option during the one-year period following the last
      vesting date, but not later than the normal expiration date of the
      Non-Qualified Stock Option.

       Retirement.  Unless the Committee otherwise provides, if a
      Participant Transferor retires from employment with the Company or
      any of its Subsidiaries, the Participant Transferor will have the
      right to exercise any Non-Qualified Stock Option during the one-year
      period following the retirement date, to the extent exercisable at
      retirement, but not later than the normal expiration date of the Non-
      Qualified Stock Option.
