Agreement dated as of July 28, 1997 (as amended, supplemented  or

          (2)   The  parties  to this Amendment  and  Restatement
desire to amend the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein
and  to restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety  to
read  as  set  forth  in the Existing Credit Agreement  with  the
following amendments.

          (3)   The Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree
to  extend  credit  to  it  from time to  time  in  an  aggregate
principal  amount  of  up to $500,000,000 for  general  corporate
purposes  of  the  Borrower  and its Subsidiaries  not  otherwise
prohibited  under  the terms of this Amendment  and  Restatement.
The  Lenders have indicated their willingness to agree to  extend
credit  to the Borrower from time to time in such amount  on  the
terms and conditions of this Amendment and Restatement.

          SECTION   1.    Amendments  to  the   Existing   Credit
Agreement.   (a)   Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit  Agreement
is, effective as of July 27, 1998 and subject to the satisfaction
of  the  conditions  precedent set forth  in  Section  2,  hereby
amended  by  deleting the definitions of "Lenders" and  "Revolver
Termination   Date"  set  forth  therein  and   replacing   them,
respectively, with the following new definitions thereof:

          "Lenders" means the Initial Lenders, each Assuming
     Lender that shall become a party hereto pursuant to
     Section 2.15 and each other Person that shall become a party
     hereto pursuant to Section 8.07.

          "Revolver Termination Date" means the earlier of
     (a) July 26, 1999 (subject to the extension thereof pursuant
     to Section 2.15) and (b) the date of termination in whole of
     the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.04 or
     6.01; provided, however, that the Revolver Termination Date
     of any Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to any
     requested extension pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be the
     Revolver Termination Date in effect immediately prior to the
     applicable Extension Date for all purposes of this Agreement
     and any Notes.

          (b)  Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is,
     effective as of the date of this Amendment and Restatement
     and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent
     set forth in Section 2, hereby amended by adding the
     following definition of "Investment Grade Date":

          "Investment Grade Date" means the first date on which
     the Paying Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory
     to it that the Borrower has a Public Debt Rating then in
     effect of at least BBB from S&P and at least Baa2 from
     Moody's, provided that the Borrower is not on "negative
     credit watch" (or any like designation by S&P or Moody's
     from time to time) at such time as determined by S&P and
     Moody's.

          (c)  The recital of parties to the Existing Credit
Agreement is, effective as of July 27, 1998 and subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2,
amended by replacing the words "the signature pages hereof"
contained in the second line thereof with the words "Schedule I
hereto".

          (d)  Section 3.02(a)(i) of the Existing Credit
Agreement is, effective as of the date of this Amendment and
Restatement and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 2, hereby amended in full to read
as follows:

               "(i) the representations and warranties contained
          in Section 4.01 (except, from and after the Investment
          Grade Date, the representations set forth in the last
          sentence of subsection (e) thereof) are correct on and
          as of the date of such Borrowing, before and after
          giving effect to such Borrowing and to the application
          of the proceeds therefrom, as though made on and as of
          such date other than any such representations or
          warranties that, by their terms, refer to a specific
          date other than the date of such Borrowing, in which
          case as of such specific date; and"

          (e)  Section 4.01(g) of the Existing Credit Agreement
is, effective as of the date of this Amendment and Restatement
and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 2, hereby amended in full to read as follows:

               "(g) The Borrower is not engaged in the business
          of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or
          carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation
          U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal
          Reserve System); no proceeds of any Advance will be
          used to purchase or carry any margin stock other than
          the Voting Stock of the Borrower to the extent
          otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents; no
          proceeds of any Advance will be used to extend credit
          to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
          margin stock; and following application of the proceeds
          of each Advance, not more than 25% of the value of the
          assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower
          and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis) subject
          to the provisions of Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(e) or
          subject to any restriction contained in any agreement
          or instrument between the Borrower and any Lender Party
          or any Affiliate of any Lender Party relating to Debt
          within the scope of Section 6.01(d) will be margin
          stock.  For purposes of this Section 4.01(g), "assets"
          of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries includes,
          without limitation, treasury stock of the Borrower that
          has not been retired."

          (f)  Section 4.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is,
effective as of the date of this Amendment and Restatement and
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth
in Section 2, hereby amended by adding a new subsection (n) to be
read as follows:

               "(n) As of the date hereof, the Borrower has (i)
          initiated a review and assessment of all areas within
          its and each of its Subsidiaries' business and
          operations (including those affected by suppliers,
          vendors and customers) that are material and that could
          be materially adversely affected by the risk that
          computer applications owned by the Borrower or any of
          its Subsidiaries may be unable to recognize and perform
          properly date-sensitive functions involving certain
          dates prior to and any date after December 31, 1999
          (the "Year 2000 Problem"), (ii) developed a plan and
          timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a
          timely basis, and (iii) to date, implemented that plan
          substantially in accordance with that timetable.  Based
          on the foregoing, the Borrower believes that
          substantially all computer applications owned by the
          Borrower that are material to its or any or its
          Subsidiaries' business and operations are reasonably
          expected barring unforeseen circumstances on a timely
          basis to be able to perform properly date-sensitive
          functions for all dates before and after January 1,
          2000 ("Year 2000 Compliant")."

          (g)  Schedule I to the Existing Credit Agreement is,
effective as of July 27, 1998 and subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2, deleted in its
entirety and replaced with Schedule I to this Amendment and
Restatement.
