</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, the Registrant will
provide employees who are eligible to participate, as defined therein, the
opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified amount or
percentage of their cash compensation. The amount of compensation to be
deferred by each participating employee (each, a &#147;Participant&#148;) will be
determined in accordance with the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan based on
elections by each Participant.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to January&nbsp;1, 1997, under the Executive 401(k) Plan, the Registrant
provided employees who were eligible to participate, as defined therein, the
opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified amount or
percentage of their cash compensation. The amount of compensation deferred by
each participating employee (each, a &#147;Participant&#148;) was determined in
accordance with the Executive 401(k) Plan based on elections by each
Participant. Effective January&nbsp;1, 1997, the Registrant discontinued all
compensation deferrals and other contributions under the Executive 401(k) Plan.
For Participants who had accounts in the Executive 401(k) Plan as of December
31, 1996, the Registrant has maintained and distributed such accounts in
accordance with the terms of the Executive 401(k) Plan as of such date or as
amended by the Registrant thereafter. Effective January&nbsp;1, 1997, the Executive
401(k) Plan document was amended and restated in the form of the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan document.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and Executive 401(k)
Plan (collectively, the &#147;Plans&#148;), the Registrant will be obligated to deliver
at a future date deferred compensation credited to a Participant&#146;s account
under the Plans, adjusted for any positive or negative investment results from
investment alternatives selected by the Participant from those available under
the Plans (each, an &#147;Obligation&#148; and collectively, the &#147;Obligations&#148;). The
Obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Registrant and rank pari
passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant.
The Obligations are not transferable except upon death of the Participant.
There is no trading market for the Obligations.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Obligation will be payable in cash, commencing upon a Participant&#146;s
termination of employment with the Registrant (including terminations due to
disability or death) and will be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment
or in annual installments over a five- to fifteen-year period, depending upon
the election made by each Participant during the most recent period of
enrollment. In addition, Participants may be entitled to receive payments in
respect of Obligations under the Plans pursuant to certain hardship
withdrawals, previously scheduled withdrawals, and withdrawals upon imposition
of a penalty. The Registrant may enter into a trust agreement with a trustee
under an irrevocable trust (&#147;Trust&#148;), and the amounts allocated to such Trust
and the earnings thereon would be used to satisfy the Obligations of the
Registrant under the Plans. Any such Trust shall be a &#147;grantor trust&#148; for
state and

the assets of the Trust would at all times be subject to the claims of the
general creditors of the Registrant.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plans at any
time, including a retroactive amendment; <I>provided, however,</I> that (i)&nbsp;prior to a
change in control of the Registrant (as defined in the Plans) no such action
shall reduce or constitute a forfeiture of a Participant&#146;s benefits under the
Plans, and (ii)&nbsp;after a change in control of the Registrant, the Plans may not
be amended or terminated in any manner that adversely affects a Participant&#146;s
rights under the Plans, including the right to continue to defer compensation
under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan until the times specified
therein and the right to accrue interest or other investment earnings under the
Plans.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities
Act&#148;). As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has
included in its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions.
In addition, the Bylaws of the Registrant require it to (i)&nbsp;indemnify the
officers and directors under certain circumstances, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and
(ii)&nbsp;advance expenses to the officers and directors as incurred in connection
with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified. The Registrant
has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain
officers containing provisions that provide for the indemnification of such
director or officer to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require the Registrant,
among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against
them as to which they may be indemnified, and to obtain and maintain directors&#146;
and officers&#146; insurance if deemed to be advisable. The Registrant believes that
these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp; The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement (i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement; and (iii)&nbsp;to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if 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&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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; and
(3)&nbsp;to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold upon the termination of the
offering.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp; The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this 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.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp; Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnity provisions incorporated by
reference in Item&nbsp;6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, the Registrant will
provide employees who are eligible to participate, as defined therein, the
opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified amount or
percentage of their cash compensation. The amount of compensation to be
deferred by each participating employee (each, a "Participant") will be
determined in accordance with the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan based on
elections by each Participant.
Prior to January 1, 1997, under the Executive 401(k) Plan, the Registrant
provided employees who were eligible to participate, as defined therein, the
opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified amount or
percentage of their cash compensation. The amount of compensation deferred by
each participating employee (each, a "Participant") was determined in
accordance with the Executive 401(k) Plan based on elections by each
Participant. Effective January 1, 1997, the Registrant discontinued all
compensation deferrals and other contributions under the Executive 401(k) Plan.
For Participants who had accounts in the Executive 401(k) Plan as of December
31, 1996, the Registrant has maintained and distributed such accounts in
accordance with the terms of the Executive 401(k) Plan as of such date or as
amended by the Registrant thereafter. Effective January 1, 1997, the Executive
401(k) Plan document was amended and restated in the form of the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan document.
Pursuant to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and Executive 401(k)
Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), the Registrant will be obligated to deliver
at a future date deferred compensation credited to a Participant's account
under the Plans, adjusted for any positive or negative investment results from
investment alternatives selected by the Participant from those available under
the Plans (each, an "Obligation" and collectively, the "Obligations"). The
Obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Registrant and rank pari
passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant.
The Obligations are not transferable except upon death of the Participant.
There is no trading market for the Obligations.
Each Obligation will be payable in cash, commencing upon a Participant's
termination of employment with the Registrant (including terminations due to
disability or death) and will be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment
or in annual installments over a five- to fifteen-year period, depending upon
the election made by each Participant during the most recent period of
enrollment. In addition, Participants may be entitled to receive payments in
respect of Obligations under the Plans pursuant to certain hardship
withdrawals, previously scheduled withdrawals, and withdrawals upon imposition
of a penalty. The Registrant may enter into a trust agreement with a trustee
under an irrevocable trust ("Trust"), and the amounts allocated to such Trust
and the earnings thereon would be used to satisfy the Obligations of the
Registrant under the Plans. Any such Trust shall be a "grantor trust" for
state and
4
federal income tax purposes. However, the Plans would remain unfunded and
the assets of the Trust would at all times be subject to the claims of the
general creditors of the Registrant.
The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plans at any
time, including a retroactive amendment;
provided, however,
that (i) prior to a
change in control of the Registrant (as defined in the Plans) no such action
shall reduce or constitute a forfeiture of a Participant's benefits under the
Plans, and (ii) after a change in control of the Registrant, the Plans may not
be amended or terminated in any manner that adversely affects a Participant's
rights under the Plans, including the right to continue to defer compensation
under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan until the times specified
therein and the right to accrue interest or other investment earnings under the
Plans.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has
included in its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions.
In addition, the Bylaws of the Registrant require it to (i) indemnify the
officers and directors under certain circumstances, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and
(ii) advance expenses to the officers and directors as incurred in connection
with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified. The Registrant
has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain
officers containing provisions that provide for the indemnification of such
director or officer to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require the Registrant,
among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against
them as to which they may be indemnified, and to obtain and maintain directors'
and officers' insurance if deemed to be advisable. The Registrant believes that
these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertaking
(a)  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; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this 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 this
Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if 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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold upon the termination of the
offering.
(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this 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.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnity provisions incorporated by
reference in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
