            The Company will authorize the issue and sale of

such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by you and the
Company.  Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are
defined in Schedule B; references to a "Schedule" or an "Exhibit"
are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit
attached to this Agreement.

2.    SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Company will issue and sell to you and you will purchase from
the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the
principal amount specified opposite your name in Schedule A at the

Contemporaneously with entering into this Agreement, the Company is

for the sale at such Closing to each of the Other Purchasers of
Notes in the principal amount specified opposite its name in
Schedule A.  Your obligation hereunder and the obligations of the

5.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

            The Company represents and warrants to you that:

5.1.  Organization; Power and Authority.

            The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as
to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has the corporate
power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it
purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it
transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform the
provisions hereof and thereof.

5.2.  Authorization, etc.

            This Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon
execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.3.  Disclosure.

            The Company, through its agents, CS First Boston
Corporation and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., has delivered to you
and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Direct Placement Memorandum,
dated March 1996 (the "Memorandum"), relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.3, this
Agreement, the Memorandum, the documents, certificates or other
writings identified in Schedule 5.3 and the financial statements
listed in Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances under which they were made.  Except as disclosed

 5

in the Memorandum or as expressly described in Schedule 5.3, or in
one of the documents, certificates or other writings identified
therein, or in the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5,
since December 31, 1995, there has been no change in the financial
condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries except changes that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

5.4.  Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.

            (a) Schedule 5.4 is (except as noted therein) a complete
and correct list of the Company's Subsidiaries, showing, as to each
Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its
organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its
capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the
Company and each other Subsidiary.  Schedule 5.4 also indicates
which Subsidiaries constitute Material Subsidiaries.

            (b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or
similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4
as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by
the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien
(except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

            (c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a
corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or
other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is required by law, other than those
jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each such Subsidiary
has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under
lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to
transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

5.5.  Financial Statements.

            The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the
financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on
Schedule 5.5.  All of said financial statements (including in each
case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified
in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations
and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes
thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements,
to normal year-end adjustments).

5.6.  Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc.

            The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
this Agreement and the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any
breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation

 6

Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan,
purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws,
or any other Material agreement or instrument to which the Company
or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or

            (a)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or
affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the

any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that,
individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

            (b)  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default
under any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court,
arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any
applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without
limitation Environmental Laws) of any Governmental Authority, which
default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.9.  Taxes.

            The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all income
tax returns that are required to have been filed in any
jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable
on such returns and all other taxes and assessments payable by
them, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and
payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any
taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually
or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or
validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves
in accordance with GAAP.  The Federal income tax liabilities of the
Company and its Subsidiaries have been determined by the Internal
Revenue Service and paid for all fiscal years up to and including
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1991.

5.10.       Title to Property; Leases.

            The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient
title to their respective Material properties, including all such
properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet
referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by
the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each
case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement, except

 7

for those defects in title and Liens that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  All Material
leases are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in
all material respects.

5.11.       Licenses, Permits, etc.

            The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all
licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights,
service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that
are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others,
except for those conflicts that, individually or in the aggregate,
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12.       Compliance with ERISA.

            (a)  The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated
and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws
except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in
and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the
penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee
benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event,
transaction or condition has occurred or exists that would
reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such
liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the
imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets
of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to
Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions
or to Section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code, other than such
liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the
aggregate Material.

            (b)  The present value of the aggregate benefit
liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer
Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan's most recently ended
plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in such Plan's most recent actuarial valuation
report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of
such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than
$10,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more than
$20,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans.  The term "benefit
liabilities" has the meaning specified in Section 4001 of ERISA and
the terms "current value" and "present value" have the meaning
specified in Section 3 of ERISA.

            (c)  The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not
incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent
withdrawal liabilities) under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in
respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the
aggregate are Material.

            (d)  The expected postretirement benefit obligation
(determined as of the last day of the Company's most recently ended
fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to
continuation coverage mandated by Section 4980B of the Code) of the
Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material.

            (e)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any
transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of
ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant

 8

to Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code.  The representation by
the Company in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made
in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of your representation
in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds to be used to pay the
purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by you.

5.13.       Private Offering by the Company.

            Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has
offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or
solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise
approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other
than you, the Other Purchasers and not more than 120 other
Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes
at a private sale for investment.  Neither the Company nor anyone
acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would
subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

5.14.       Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

            The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the
Notes as set forth in Schedule 5.14.  No part of the proceeds from
the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or
indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock
within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 207), or for the purpose of buying
or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances
as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said
Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a
violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220).  Margin stock
does not constitute more than 10% of the value of the consolidated
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not
have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more
than 10% of the value of such assets.  As used in this Section, the
terms "margin stock" and "purpose of buying or carrying" shall have
the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation G.

5.15.       Existing Indebtedness.

            Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15 sets forth a
complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in a principal amount in excess of
$5,000,000 and the total amount of all other outstanding
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case as
of February 29, 1996, since which date there has been no Material
change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, instalment
payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company or its
Subsidiaries.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default
and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of
any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or
such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to
any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary the outstanding
principal amount of which exceeds $5,000,000 that would permit (or
that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one
or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and
payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly
scheduled dates of payment.

 9

5.16.       Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc.

            Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder
nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with
the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control
regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR,
Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or
executive order relating thereto.

5.17.       Status under Certain Statutes.

            Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to
regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the
Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as
amended.

6.    REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASER.

            You represent that you are purchasing the Notes for your

      employee benefit plan's assets that are included in such
      investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other
      employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same
      employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Section
      V(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same
      employee organization and managed by such QPAM, exceed 20% of
      the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions
      of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied,
      neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the
      QPAM (applying the definition of "control" in Section V(e) of
      the QPAM Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company
      and (i) the identity of such QPAM and (ii) the names of all
      employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such
      investment fund have been disclosed to the Company in writing
      pursuant to this paragraph (d); or

            (e)  the Source is a governmental plan; or

            (g)  the Source does not include assets of any employee
      benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of

shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in
Section 3 of ERISA.

8.    PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

8.1.  Required Prepayments.

            On April 4, 1999 and on each April 4 thereafter to and
including April 4, 2003, the Company will prepay $64,000,000
principal amount (or such lesser principal amount as shall then be
outstanding) of the Notes at par and without payment of the Make-
Whole Amount or any premium, provided that upon any partial
prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or purchase
of the Notes permitted by Section 8.6 the principal amount of each
required prepayment of the Notes becoming due under this
Section 8.1 on and after the date of such prepayment or purchase
shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid

 14

principal amount of the Notes is reduced as a result of such
prepayment or purchase.

8.2.  Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.

            The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided
below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of,
the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial
prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together
with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for such
prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the
prepayment date with respect to such principal amount.  The Company
will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional
prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment,
which date shall be a Business Day.  Each such notice shall specify
such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by
such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section
8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with
respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be
accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to
the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such
prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date
of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. 
Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall
deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial
Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of
the specified prepayment date.

8.3.  Prepayment in Connection with Excess Amounts.

            If at any time the Company intends to create, incur or
assume a Lien which will result in any Excess Amounts being offered
to be applied to the prepayment of Specified Indebtedness pursuant
to the last paragraph of Section 10.3, the Company will give
written notice thereof to the holders of all outstanding Notes,
which notice shall (A) refer specifically to this Section 8.3, (B)
specify the Excess Amounts Prepayment Date and the Excess Amounts
Response Date (as respectively defined below) in respect thereof,
(C) set forth (i) the aggregate amount of Excess Amounts to be
offered to be applied to the prepayment of Specified Indebtedness,
(ii) the Note Portion thereof and (iii) the amount of such Note
Portion allocable to each Note, determined by allocating such Note
Portion pro rata among all outstanding Notes according to the
respective unpaid principal amounts thereof and (D) offer to prepay
a principal amount of each Note equal to such Note Portion so
allocable to such Note, together with interest accrued thereon to
the date fixed for such prepayment (the "Excess Amounts Prepayment
Date"), which shall be not less than 15 nor more than 30 days after
the date of the giving of such notice.  Each holder of a Note shall
notify the Company of such holder's acceptance or rejection of such
offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to
the Company on a date (the "Excess Amounts Response Date") at least
ten days prior to the Excess Amounts Prepayment Date, and the
Company shall prepay on the Excess Amounts Prepayment Date the
applicable portion of each Note held by each holder by whom such
offer has been accepted in accordance with this Section 8.3 at a
price in respect of each Note held by such holder equal to the
principal amount of such Note so to be prepaid, together with
interest accrued thereon to the Excess Amounts Prepayment Date,
without payment of any Make-Whole Amount or any premium; provided,
however, that the failure by the holder of any Note to respond to
such offer in writing on or before the Excess Amounts Response Date

 15

shall be deemed to be a rejection of such offer in respect of such
Excess Amounts.

8.4.  Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

            In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes
pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes
to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time
outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called
for prepayment.

8.5.  Maturity; Surrender, etc.

            In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this
Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall
mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such
prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued
to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any.  From
and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such
principal amount when so due and payable, together with the
interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on
such principal amount shall cease to accrue.  Any Note paid or
prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled
and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of
any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.6.  Purchase of Notes.

            The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to
purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or
indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the
payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to
purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the
holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms
and conditions.  Any such offer shall provide each holder with
sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision
with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 20
Business Days.  If the holder or holders of more than 50% of the
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer,
the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such
fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes
of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to
give each such remaining holder at least 20 Business Days from its
receipt of such notice to accept such offer.  The Company will
promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant
to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in
substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

8.7.  Make-Whole Amount.

            The term "Make-Whole Amount" means, with respect to any
Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted
Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the

 16

Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called
Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be
less than zero.  For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole
Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

            "Called Principal" means, with respect to any Note, the
      principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to
      Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due
      and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

            "Discounted Value" means, with respect to the Called
      Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all
      Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called
      Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the
      Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in
      accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount
      factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which
      interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment
      Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

            "Reinvestment Yield" means, with respect to the Called
      Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied
      by (i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City
      time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date
      with respect to such Called Principal, on the display
      designated as "Page 500" on the Telerate Access Service (or
      such other display as may replace Page 500 on Telerate Access
      Service) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having
      a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
      Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields
      are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of
      such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant
      Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which
      such yields have been so reported as of the second Business
      Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
      Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)
      (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded
      U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to
      the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
      Settlement Date.  Such implied yield in the case of clauses
      (i) and (ii) above will be determined, if necessary, by
      (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-
      equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
      practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the
      actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity
      closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2)
      the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity
      closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.

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

            "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to the
      Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called
      Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
      Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no
      payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its
      scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is
      not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under

 17

      the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding
      scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
      interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be
      paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.

            "Settlement Date" means, with respect to the Called
      Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal
      is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is
      declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
      Section 12.1, as the context requires.

9.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

            The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes
are outstanding:

9.1.  Compliance with Law.

            The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or
regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without
limitation, Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in
effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their
respective properties or to the conduct of their respective
businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that
non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or
regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such
licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
authorizations would not reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to have a materially adverse effect on the business,
operations, affairs, financial condition, properties or assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

9.2.  Insurance.

            The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,
insurance with respect to their respective properties and
businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such
types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles,
co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are
maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of
entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a
similar business and similarly situated.

9.3.  Maintenance of Properties.

            The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their
respective properties in good repair, working order and condition
(other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried
on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times,
provided that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of
any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the
conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such
discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
materially adverse effect on the business, operations, affairs,
financial condition, properties or assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 18

9.4.  Payment of Taxes.

            The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to file all income tax or similar tax returns required to be filed
in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be
due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments,
governmental charges, or levies payable by any of them, to the
extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and
before they have become delinquent, provided that neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment if
(i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by
the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and
in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has
established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment
of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate would not
reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the
business, operations, affairs, financial condition, properties or
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

9.5.  Corporate Existence, etc.

            Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 
Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.5, the Company will at all times
preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence
of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a
Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the
termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and
effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect
on the business, operations, affairs, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole.

10.   NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

            The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes
are outstanding:

10.1.       Transactions with Affiliates.

            The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary
to enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or
Material group of related transactions (including without
limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of
any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other
than the Company or another Subsidiary), except pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of the Company's or such Subsidiary's
business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to
the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a
comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

10.2.       Merger, Consolidation, etc.

            The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with any
other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of
its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any
Person unless:

 19

            (a)   the successor formed by such consolidation or the
      survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by
      conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets
      of the Company as an entirety, as the case may be, shall be a
      solvent corporation organized and existing under the laws of
      the United States or any State thereof (including the District
      of Columbia), and, if the Company is not such corporation,
      such corporation shall have executed and delivered to each
      holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual
      performance and observance of each covenant and condition of
      this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes; and

            (b)   immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
      no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the
assets of the Company shall have the effect of releasing the
Company or any successor corporation that shall theretofore have
become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its
liability under this Agreement or the Notes.

10.3.       Liens.

            The Company will not, and will not permit any Material
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of its
property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to
secure Indebtedness, without making effective provision whereby the
Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with any and all other
Indebtedness to be secured by such Lien, for so long as any such
other Indebtedness shall be so secured, such security to be
pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders, excluding from the operation of this Section:

            (a)   Liens existing on the date hereof securing
      Indebtedness of the Company or any Material Subsidiary
      outstanding on the date hereof, as specified in Part II of
      Schedule 5.15;  

            (b)   any Lien on property of the Company or any Material
      Subsidiary securing Indebtedness incurred in connection with
      the financing of all or a part of the purchase price thereof,
      provided that (i) each such Lien shall extend solely to the
      item or items of property so acquired and any other property
      which is an improvement to such acquired property and (ii)
      each such Lien shall be created contemporaneously with, or
      within six months after, such acquisition; 

            (c)   any Lien existing on property acquired by the
      Company or any Material Subsidiary at the time such property
      is so acquired, provided that (i) no such Lien shall have been
      created or assumed in contemplation of such acquisition of
      property and (ii) each such Lien shall extend solely to the
      item or items of property so acquired and any other property
      which is an improvement to such acquired property;

            (d)   any Lien existing on property of a Person existing
      at the time such Person shall have become a Material
      Subsidiary (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise)
      which secures Indebtedness existing at such time, provided
      that (i) no such Lien shall have been created or assumed in
      contemplation of such Person's becoming a Material Subsidiary

 20

      and (ii) each such Lien shall extend solely to the item or
      items of property covered by such Lien at such time and any
      other property which is an improvement to such property; 

            (e)   any Lien in favor of the United States of America
      arising as a result of amounts paid to the Company or any
      Material Subsidiary as progress payments under contracts
      between the United States of America or any agency thereof and
      the Company or such Material Subsidiary;

            (f)   any Lien on accounts receivable of the Company or
      any Material Subsidiary securing Indebtedness incurred in
      connection with the financing of such accounts receivable,
      provided that (subject to the last paragraph of this Section
      10.3), immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
      amount of outstanding Indebtedness incurred in connection with
      all such secured financings shall not exceed the greater of
      (i) $250,000,000 and (ii) 10% of the aggregate amount of
      accounts receivable of the Company and the Material
      Subsidiaries as at the time of the creation of such Lien;

            (g)   any Lien renewing, extending or replacing any Lien
      permitted under clauses (a) through (e) above, provided that
      (i) the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by such Lien
      immediately prior to such renewal, extension or replacement is
      not increased and (ii) such Lien shall extend solely to the
      item or items of property covered by such Lien at the time of
      such renewal, extension or replacement and any other property
      which is an improvement to such property;

            (h)   Liens on property or assets of any Material
      Subsidiary securing Indebtedness owing by such Material
      Subsidiary to the Company or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; and

            (i)   Liens, in addition to those permitted by clauses (a)
      through (h) above, securing Indebtedness of the Company or any
      Material Subsidiary, provided that, immediately after giving
      effect thereto, the aggregate amount (without duplication) of
      all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under
      this clause (i), plus the aggregate amount of all outstanding
      Indebtedness permitted under clause (d) of Section 10.4, does
      not exceed 10% of Consolidated Total Assets.

            There shall be excluded from any computation pursuant to
the proviso to the foregoing clause (f) any Indebtedness to the
extent that such Indebtedness would result in the aggregate amount
of outstanding Indebtedness incurred in connection with all
financings described in said clause exceeding the greater of (i)
$250,000,000 and (ii) 10% of the aggregate amount of accounts
receivable of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries as at the
date of computation if and to the extent that the Company shall
have offered to prepay Specified Indebtedness in an aggregate
amount (the "Excess Amount") equal to such excess amount, the
portion of the Excess Amount to be so offered to be prepaid with
respect to each item of Specified Indebtedness to be equal to an
amount which bears the same relationship to the Excess Amount as
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such item of
Specified Indebtedness bears to the then aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Specified Indebtedness.  In connection with
any such prepayment, the Company shall offer to prepay Notes in

 21

accordance with Section 8.3 in an amount (the "Note Portion") equal
to the portion of such Excess Amount allocable to the Notes in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

10.4.       Subsidiary Indebtedness.

            The Company will not permit any Material Subsidiary to
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness except:

            (a)   Indebtedness incurred in connection with any Lien
      permitted under clauses (a) through (c) and (e) through (h) of
      Section 10.3;

            (b)   Indebtedness owing to the Company or any Wholly-
      Owned Subsidiary;

            (c)   Indebtedness outstanding at the time any Person
      shall have become a Material Subsidiary (whether by merger,
      consolidation or otherwise), provided that (i) no such
      Indebtedness shall have been incurred in contemplation of such
      Person's becoming a Material Subsidiary and (ii) immediately
      after such Person shall have become a Material Subsidiary, no
      Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing; and

            (d)   additional Indebtedness not otherwise permitted by
      the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), provided that,
      immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount
      (without duplication) of all outstanding Indebtedness
      permitted under this clause (d), plus the aggregate amount of
      all outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under
      clause (i) of Section 10.3, does not exceed 10% of
      Consolidated Total Assets.

10.5.       Disposition of Assets.

            The Company will not, and will not permit any Material
Subsidiary to (whether by a single transaction or a number of
related or unrelated transactions and whether at one time or over
a period of time), sell, transfer, lease out or otherwise dispose
of (whether outright, by a sale-and-repurchase or sale-and-
leaseback arrangement, or otherwise and whether to the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries or any other Person) (a "Disposal") all of its
assets or any part of its assets, except:

            (a)   Disposals of assets in the ordinary course of
      business;

            (b)   Disposals of assets acquired in connection with an
      acquisition of a business if (x) such Disposals occur within
      twelve months after the date of such acquisition or (y) the
      Company or such Material Subsidiary enters into a binding
      agreement with any Person within twelve months after the date
      of such acquisition pursuant to which the Company or such
      Material Subsidiary is obligated to dispose of such assets to
      such Person and such Disposals occur within twelve months
      after the date such agreement is entered into; provided,
      however, that, in each case, if such Disposals cannot
      reasonably be consummated within such twelve-month period as
      a result of (i) the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
      Antitrust Improvements Act or any similar statute or
      regulation not having expired or (ii) the Company's actively
      contesting in good faith by appropriate means any judicial or
      administrative action, suit, proceeding, judgment, injunction,

 22

      order or decree seeking to prohibit such Disposals, such
      twelve-month period shall be extended for a period equal to an
      additional two years;

            (c)  Disposals of assets by the Company or any Material
      Subsidiary to the Company or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary;

            (d)  Disposals on normal commercial terms of assets that
      are obsolete or no longer useful in the business of the
      Company or such Material Subsidiary, as the case may be; and

            (e)   any Disposal of assets not otherwise permitted by
      clauses (a) through (d) above if, after giving effect thereto,
      no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
      and both

                  (i)   the aggregate Contribution to Consolidated Cash
            Flow of all assets disposed of by the Company or any
            Material Subsidiary under this clause (e) after the date
            hereof and during the period of twelve consecutive months
            ending on the date of such Disposal shall not exceed 20%
            of Consolidated Cash Flow for the period of four fiscal
            quarters ending on, or most recently ended prior to, the
            date of such Disposal; provided that Disposals of assets,
            the aggregate Contribution to Consolidated Cash Flow of
            which so exceeds 20% of Consolidated Cash Flow, may be
            made if the net proceeds in excess of such 20% are either
            (x) reinvested in non-current assets of the Company and
            the Material Subsidiaries within twelve months after the
            date of such Disposals or, in the case of non-cash net
            proceeds, retained in the business of the Company and the
            Material Subsidiaries, provided that upon any Disposal of
            such non-cash net proceeds for cash, such cash proceeds
            are reinvested in non-current assets of the Company and
            the Material Subsidiaries within twelve months after the
            date of such Disposal or (y) applied to the prepayment of
            Specified Indebtedness, the selection of which Specified
            Indebtedness is to be prepaid to be in the sole
            discretion of the Company, and

                  (ii)  the aggregate Contribution to Consolidated Cash
            Flow of all assets disposed of by the Company or any
            Material Subsidiary under this clause (e) after the date
            hereof and during the period of thirty-six consecutive
            months ending on the date of such Disposal shall not
            exceed 40% of Consolidated Cash Flow for the period of
            the four fiscal quarters ending on, or most recently
            ended prior to, the date of such Disposal; provided that
            Disposals of assets, the aggregate Contribution to
            Consolidated Cash Flow of which so exceeds 40% of
            Consolidated Cash Flow, may be made if the net proceeds

12.   REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

12.1.       Acceleration.

            (a)  If an Event of Default with respect to the Company
described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an
Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or
described in clause (vi) of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact
that such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (g)) has
occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become
immediately due and payable.

            (b)  If any other Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at its or their
option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes
then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

            (c)  If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a)
or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or
holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of
Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or
notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to
be immediately due and payable.

            Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this
Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes
will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of
such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
(y) in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (b) or
(c) of this Section 12.1, the Make-Whole Amount determined in
respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by
applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each
and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice, all of which are hereby waived.  The Company acknowledges,
and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the
right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment
by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and
that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the
Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated
as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide
compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
circumstances.

12.2.       Other Remedies.

            If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or
have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1,
the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to
protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law,
suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any
Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms
hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

 26

12.3.       Rescission.

            At any time after any Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holder
or holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company,
may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if
(a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all
principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are
due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such
declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-
Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-
payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such
declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to
Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the
payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.  No
rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or
affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

12.4.       No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc.

            No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any
holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's
rights, powers or remedies.  No right, power or remedy conferred by
this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or
therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise.  Without limiting the obligations of the Company
under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note
on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all
costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or
collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.

13.   REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

13.1.       Registration of Notes.

            The Company shall keep at its principal executive office
a register for the registration and registration of transfers of
Notes.  The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes,
each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee
of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register.  Prior
to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in
whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated
as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the
Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary.  The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is
an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a
complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all
registered holders of Notes.

13.2.       Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

            Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive
office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and
in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly

 27


executed by the registered holder of such Note or his attorney duly
authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of
each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall
execute and deliver, at the Company's expense (except as provided
below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof)
in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note.  Each such new
Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.  Each such new
Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which
interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the
date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid
thereon.  The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of
any such transfer of Notes.  Notes shall not be transferred in
denominations of less than $500,000, provided that if necessary to
enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than
$500,000.  Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered
in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have
made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

13.3.       Replacement of Notes.

            Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in
the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such
Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation), and

            (a)   in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
      indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the
      holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original
      Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth
      of at least $10,000,000, such Person's own unsecured agreement
      of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

            (b)   in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
      cancellation thereof,

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to
which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

14.   PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

14.1.       Place of Payment.

            Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-
Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the
Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office
of Mellon Bank, N.A. in such jurisdiction.  The Company may at any
time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of
payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be
either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or
the principal office of a bank or trust company in such
jurisdiction.

 28

14.2.       Home Office Payment.

            So long as you or your nominee shall be the holder of any
Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in
such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming
due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest by the method and at the address specified for such
purpose below your name in Schedule A, or by such other method or
at such other address as you shall have from time to time specified
to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the
presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any
notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company
made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or
prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for
cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the
Company at its principal executive office or at the place of
payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section
14.1.  Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by
you or your nominee you will, at your election, either endorse
thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to
which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the
Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section
13.2.  The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to
any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect
transferee of any Note purchased by you under this Agreement and
that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as you have
made in this Section 14.2.

15.1.       Transaction Expenses.

            Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Company will pay all costs and expenses (including

required, local or other counsel) incurred by you and each Other
Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions
and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or
in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such

and finders (other than those retained by you).

15.2.       Survival.

            The obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will
survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement,
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the
Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

 29

16.   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE
      AGREEMENT.

            All representations and warranties contained herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes,
the purchase or transfer by you of any Note or portion thereof or
interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied
upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of you or any other
holder of a Note.  All statements contained in any certificate or
other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant
to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of
the Company under this Agreement.  Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement
and understanding between you and the Company and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof.

17.   AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

17.1.       Requirements.

            This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the
observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either
retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no
amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein),
will be effective as to you unless consented to by you in writing,
and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written
consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected
thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to
acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any
prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change
the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the
Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the
principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of
Section 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20.

17.2.       Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

            (a)   Solicitation.  The Company will provide each holder
of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it)
with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the
date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an
informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed
amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions
hereof or of the Notes.  The Company will deliver executed or true
and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of
outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is
executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of,
the requisite holders of Notes.

            (b)   Payment.  The Company will not directly or
indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way
of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant
any security, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an
inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes or any
waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof

 30

unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of
Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such
waiver or amendment.

17.3.       Binding Effect, etc.

            Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding
upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the
Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to
indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver
will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement,
Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or
impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between
the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising
any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of
any rights of any holder of such Note.  As used herein, the term
"this Agreement" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement
as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

17.4.       Notes held by Company, etc.

            Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders
of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment,
waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or
have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the
Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified
percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or
any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized

      Company in writing,

            (ii)  if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder
      at such address as such other holder shall have specified to
      the Company in writing, or

            (iii)       if to the Company, to the Company at its
      address set forth at the beginning hereof to the separate
      attention of the Treasurer and General Counsel, or at such
      other address as the Company shall have specified to the
      holder of each Note in writing.

19.   REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and
modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents

in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the
original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was
made by you in the regular course of business) and any enlargement,
facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall
likewise be admissible in evidence.  This Section 19 shall not
prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting
any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the
original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the
inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

20.   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

            For the purposes of this Section 20, "Confidential
Information" means information delivered to you by or on behalf of
the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is
proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or
otherwise adequately identified when received by you as being
confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary,

Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by
you in good faith to protect confidential information of third
parties delivered to you, provided that you may deliver or disclose
Confidential Information to (i) your directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates, (to the extent such
disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the
investment represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial advisors
and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the
Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms
of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any
Institutional Investor to which you sell or offer to sell such Note
or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person
has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential
Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),
(v) any Person from which you offer to purchase any security of the
Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over you, (vii) the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any
nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about your investment portfolio, or (viii) any other
Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation
or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any subpoena or
other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which
you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is


 32

continuing, to the extent you may reasonably determine such
delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the
enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under
your Notes and this Agreement.  Each holder of a Note, by its
acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by
and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it
were a party to this Agreement.  On reasonable request by the
Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of
information required to be delivered to such holder under this
Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is
a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter
into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this
Section 20.

21.   SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

            You shall have the right to substitute any one of your
Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that you have agreed to
purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice
shall be signed by both you and such Affiliate, shall contain such
Affiliate's agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall
contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with
respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.  Upon
receipt of such notice, wherever the word "you" is used in this
Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall be
deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of you.  In the event
that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and
such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the Notes then
held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of
such transfer, wherever the word "you" is used in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), such word shall no longer be
deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to you, and you
shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under
this Agreement.

22.   MISCELLANEOUS.

22.1.       Successors and Assigns.

            All covenants and other agreements contained in this
Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and
inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns
(including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note)
whether so expressed or not.

22.2.       Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

            Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-whole Amount
or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business
Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without
including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the
interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

22.3.       Severability.

            Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions

 33

hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

22.4.       Construction.

            Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent
express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each
other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one
covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be
deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.  Where any
provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or
which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall
be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly
by such Person.

22.5.       Counterparts.

            This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which
together shall constitute one instrument.  Each counterpart may
consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all,
but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

22.6.       Governing Law.

            This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed
by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law
principles of the law of such State that would require the
application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

                                    April 4, 1996



To the several Purchasers
   listed on the attached schedule

Dear Sirs:

      I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Computer Associates
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and am familiar
with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and
sale to each of you (the "Purchasers") today by the Company of $320,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company's 6.77% Senior Notes due April 4,
2003 (the "Notes"), pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements, dated as of
April 1, 1996 (the "Note Purchase Agreements"), between the Company and each
of the Purchasers.  This opinion is delivered to each of you pursuant to
Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreements. Capitalized terms used herein
and not defined herein have the respective meanings specified in the Note
Purchase Agreements.

      I have reviewed the Note Purchase Agreements and the Notes, and such
corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of
law, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this
opinion.

      I have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents
submitted to me as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents
submitted to me conform to the originals. I have assumed further the accuracy
of each of the representations and warranties of the parties (other than the
Company) to the Note Purchase Agreements and the statements set forth in the
letter, dated March 29, 1996, delivered by CS First Boston Corporation and
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. to the Company.  I have assumed further that each
of the parties (other than the Company) to the Note Purchase Agreements has
duly executed and delivered each of the foregoing documents to which it is
a party.


      Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth
below, I am of the opinion that:

      (1)  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Each domestic
Material Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization.


      (2)  Each of the Company and its domestic Material Subsidiaries is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those
jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

      (3)  The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver the Note Purchase Agreements, to issue and sell the Notes and to
perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreements and the Notes.

      (4)  Each of the Note Purchase Agreements and the Notes has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, has
been executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company, and
constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

      (5)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Note
Purchase Agreements and the Notes will not (a) contravene, result in any
breach of, or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any
Lien in respect of any property of the Company under, (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation or by-laws of the Company  or (ii) to the best of my knowledge,
any indenture, mortgage deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement or
lease, or any other Material agreement or instrument to which the Company is
bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or
ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the
Company or (c) violate any provision of any statute, rule or regulation of
any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company.

      (6) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing
or declaration with, any Governmental Authority of the United States of
America, or the State of New York, or under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by the Company of the Note Purchase Agreements or the
Notes.

      (7)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best
of my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or
before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority
(i) questioning the validity of the Note Purchase Agreements or the Notes
or (ii) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (8)  Registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and qualification of an indenture with respect to
the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is not required
for the offer and sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated by the Note
Purchase Agreements.



      (9)  The Company is not an "investment company" or a company
"controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

      (10)  Neither the issuance of the Notes nor the intended use of the
proceeds of the Notes (as set forth in Schedule 5.14 to the Note Purchase
Agreements) will violate Regulations G, T, or X of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System.

      The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

      (a)  The enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreements and the Note
is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors' rights and remedies and to general equity principles.

      (b)  The enforceability of rights and remedies in the Note Purchase
Agreements and the Notes is subject to the exercise by the Purchasers of
commercial reasonableness, acting in good faith.

      (c)  For purposes of the opinion set forth in paragraph (8), I express
no opinion as to when or under what circumstances the Notes may be reoffered
or resold in the United States, its territories and possessions or to U.S.
Persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the 1933 Act).

      Also, I have relied as to certain factual matters on information
obtained from public officials and other sources believed by me to be
responsible.

      I am a member of the bar of the State of New York.  I do not purport
to be expert in, and do not express any opinion on, any laws other than the
laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States of America.    
                                                                           
   Sincerely yours,


                                    /s/Steven M. Woghin

                      FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
                               TO THE PURCHASERS







                                          April 4, 1996 


                  Re:   Computer Associates International, Inc. 
                        6.77% Senior Notes due April 4, 2003 


To the several Purchasers
  listed in Schedule A
  to the within-mentioned Note
  Purchase Agreements

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
            We have acted as your special counsel in connection
with the issuance by Computer Associates International, Inc. (the
"Company") of its 6.77% Senior Notes due April 4, 2003 in an
aggregate principal amount of $320,000,000 (the "Notes"), and the
purchases by you pursuant to the several Note Purchase Agreements
dated as of April 1, 1996 (the "Note Purchase Agreements") made
by you with the Company of Notes in the respective aggregate
principal amounts set forth in Schedule A to the Note Purchase
Agreements.  All capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase
Agreements.

            We have examined originals or copies authenticated to
our satisfaction of all such corporate records of the Company,
agreements and other instruments, certificates of public
officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and
such other documents, as we have deemed necessary in connection
with the opinions hereinafter expressed.  In such examination, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with
the authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as
copies.  As to questions of fact material to such opinions we

 2

have, when relevant facts were not independently established,
relied upon the representations set forth in the Note Purchase
Agreements and upon certifications by officers or other
representatives of the Company.

            In addition, we attended the closing held today at our
office at which you purchased and made payment for Notes in the
respective aggregate principal amounts to be purchased by you,
all in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreements.

            Based upon the foregoing and having regard for legal
considerations that we deem relevant, we render you our opinion
pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Note Purchase Agreements as
follows:

            1.    The Company is a corporation validly existing and
      in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
      has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Note
      Purchase Agreements and the Notes and to perform its
      obligations thereunder.

            2.    The Note Purchase Agreements have been duly
      authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
      constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the
      Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
      their terms.

            3.    The Notes being purchased by you today have been
      duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
      constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
      Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
      their terms.  

            4.    No consent, approval or authorization of, or
      registration, filing or declaration with, any New York State
      or United States Federal Governmental Authority is required
      for the validity of the execution and delivery or for the
      performance by the Company of the Note Purchase Agreements
      or said Notes.

            5.    It was not necessary in connection with the
      offering, sale and delivery of said Notes, under the
      circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreements,
      to register said Notes under the Securities Act or to
      qualify an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust
      Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

            6.    The opinion of Steven M. Woghin, General Counsel
      of the Company, dated the date hereof and delivered to you
      pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreements,
      is satisfactory to us in form and scope with respect to the
      matters specified therein and we believe that you are
      justified in relying thereon.

            The opinions expressed in paragraphs 2 and 3 above as
to the enforceability of any agreement or instrument in
accordance with its terms are subject to the exception that such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

            We wish to point out that provisions of the Note
Purchase Agreements that permit you or any other holder of a Note
to take action or make determinations or to benefit from
indemnities or similar undertakings of the Company may be subject
to a requirement that such action be taken or such determinations
be made, and that any action or inaction by any of you or any
other holder of a Note that may give rise to a request for
payment under such an undertaking be taken or not taken, on a
reasonable basis and in good faith.

            We do not herein express any opinion as to any matters
governed by any laws other than the Federal laws of the United
States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                   /s/Milbank, Tweed, Hadley, and McLoy
                                   ------------------------------------
