ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Article V of the By-Laws of Bankers Trust New York Corporation provides as
follows:

SECTION 5.01  The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
721 of the New York Business Corporation Law, indemnify any person who is or was
made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether
civil or criminal, whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty,
neglect or

                                       2
<PAGE>

error, any accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement, misleading
statement or other act or omission and whether brought or threatened in any
court or administrative or legislative body or agency, including an action by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor and an action
by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation is serving or
served in any capacity at the request of the corporation by reason of the fact
that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and costs, charges and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, or any appeal therein; provided, however,
that no indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i)
his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.02  The corporation may indemnify any other person to whom the
corporation is permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of
expenses by applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or
provided by, the New York Business Corporation Law or other rights created by
(i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an
agreement providing for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that
these By-Laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.

SECTION 5.03  The corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to
any person referred to in Section 5.01 the funds necessary for payment of
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding referred to in Section 5.01, upon receipt of a written undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts
were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.04  Any director or officer of the corporation serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan
of the corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (i), in any capacity
shall

                                       3
<PAGE>

be deemed to be doing so at the request of the corporation.  In all other cases,
the provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the person serving
another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise so served at the specific request of the corporation,
evidenced by a written communication signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or any Vice Chairman, and (ii) only if and to the extent that, after
making such efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice
Chairman shall deem adequate in the circumstances, such person shall be unable
to obtain indemnification from such other enterprise or its insurer.

SECTION 5.05  Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemni-fication (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.

SECTION 5.06  The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement
of expenses pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right pursuant to which
the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set
forth in a separate written contract between the corporation and the director or
officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect
to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to
exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to
events occurring prior thereto.

SECTION 5.07  If a request to be indemnified or for the reimburse-ment or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the corporation
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation,
the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part,
the claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prose-cuting such
claim.  Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
or reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstances, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the
claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

SECTION 5.08  A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceed-

                                       4
<PAGE>

ing of the character described in Section 5.01 shall be entitled to
indemnification only as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.03, notwithstanding any
provision of the New York Business Corporation Law to the contrary.


     Within certain limitations, Sections 721 through 726 of the New York
Business Corporation Law permit a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
made a party to an action (i) by a corporation or in its right in order to
procure a judgment in its favor unless he shall have breached his duties, or
(ii) other than an action by or in the right of the corporation in order to
procure a judgment in its favor if such director or officer acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or, in certain cases, not
opposed to such corporation's best interests, and additionally, in criminal
actions, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     In addition, a Directors and Officers Liability and Corporation
Reimbursement Policy is maintained covering the Corporation and its directors
and officers for amounts, subject to policy limits, that the Corporation might
be required to pay by way of indemnification to its directors and officers under
its By-Laws or otherwise for the protection of individual directors and officers
from loss for which they might not be indemnified by the Corporation.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

           (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

           (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
     effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     Registration Statement;

           (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan
     of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
     any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

                                       6
<PAGE>

provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Article V of the By-Laws of Bankers Trust New York Corporation provides as
follows:

SECTION 5.01  The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
721 of the New York Business Corporation Law, indemnify any person who is or was
made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether
civil or criminal, whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty,
neglect or

                                       2
error, any accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement, misleading
statement or other act or omission and whether brought or threatened in any
court or administrative or legislative body or agency, including an action by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor and an action
by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation is serving or
served in any capacity at the request of the corporation by reason of the fact
that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and costs, charges and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, or any appeal therein; provided, however,
that no indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i)
his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.02  The corporation may indemnify any other person to whom the
corporation is permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of
expenses by applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or
provided by, the New York Business Corporation Law or other rights created by
(i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an
agreement providing for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that
these By-Laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.

SECTION 5.03  The corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to
any person referred to in Section 5.01 the funds necessary for payment of
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding referred to in Section 5.01, upon receipt of a written undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts
were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 5.04  Any director or officer of the corporation serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan
of the corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (i), in any capacity
shall

                                       3
be deemed to be doing so at the request of the corporation.  In all other cases,
the provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the person serving
another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise so served at the specific request of the corporation,
evidenced by a written communication signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or any Vice Chairman, and (ii) only if and to the extent that, after
making such efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice
Chairman shall deem adequate in the circumstances, such person shall be unable
to obtain indemnification from such other enterprise or its insurer.

SECTION 5.05  Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemni-fication (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.

SECTION 5.06  The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement
of expenses pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right pursuant to which
the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set
forth in a separate written contract between the corporation and the director or
officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect
to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to
exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to
events occurring prior thereto.

SECTION 5.07  If a request to be indemnified or for the reimburse-ment or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the corporation
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation,
the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part,
the claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prose-cuting such
claim.  Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of
or reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstances, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the
claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

SECTION 5.08  A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceed-

                                       4
ing of the character described in Section 5.01 shall be entitled to
indemnification only as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.03, notwithstanding any
provision of the New York Business Corporation Law to the contrary.

     Within certain limitations, Sections 721 through 726 of the New York
Business Corporation Law permit a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
made a party to an action (i) by a corporation or in its right in order to
procure a judgment in its favor unless he shall have breached his duties, or
(ii) other than an action by or in the right of the corporation in order to
procure a judgment in its favor if such director or officer acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or, in certain cases, not
opposed to such corporation's best interests, and additionally, in criminal
actions, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     In addition, a Directors and Officers Liability and Corporation
Reimbursement Policy is maintained covering the Corporation and its directors
and officers for amounts, subject to policy limits, that the Corporation might
be required to pay by way of indemnification to its directors and officers under
its By-Laws or otherwise for the protection of individual directors and officers
from loss for which they might not be indemnified by the Corporation.

Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
