Section 145
      of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants each corporation organized
      thereunder the powers to indemnify any individual made party or threatened
      to be
      made party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
      because the individual is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
      the
      corporation, against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees),
      judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred with respect to an
      action, suit or proceeding if the individual acted in good faith, and the
      individual reasonably believed:  (a) that the individual's
      conduct was in the corporation's best interests; (b) that the individual's
      conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and
      (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that the individual had no
      reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was
      unlawful.  However, there will be limited or no indemnification for
      directors, officers, employees or agents adjudged to be liable to the
      corporation where such individuals are parties to any action by or in the right
      of the corporation.
Article Ninth
      of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as
      follows:
NINTH
:  The
      Corporation shall indemnify, to the full extent that it shall have power under
      applicable law to do so and in a manner permitted by such law, any person made
      or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
      suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
      by
      reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation
      against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by such person
      in
      connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  The Corporation may
      indemnify, to the full extent that it shall have power under applicable law
      to
      do so and in a manner permitted by such law, any person made or threatened
      to be
      made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
      whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
      fact
      that he is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving
      at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
      of
      another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
      against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by such person
      in
      connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  The words
"liabilities" and "expenses" shall include, without
      limitation:  liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines,
      penalties, amounts paid in settlement, expenses, attorneys' fees and
      costs.  The indemnification provided by this Article NINTH shall
      not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person indemnified
      may
      be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
      disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
      and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall
      continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director, officer, employee
      or
      agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
      of such person.
The
      Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person referred
      to in the preceding paragraph against any liability asserted against him and
      incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
      whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
      such liability under the provisions of this Article NINTH or
      otherwise.
For
      purposes of this Article NINTH, references to "the Corporation" shall
      include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
      (including any constituent of a constituent)
2
absorbed
      in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
      would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and
      employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
      employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at
      the
      request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or
      agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
      enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
      Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would
      have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence
      had
      continued.
The
      provisions of this Article NINTH shall be deemed to be a contract between
      the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity
      at
      any time while this Article and the relevant provisions of the General
      Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law, if any, are
      in
      effect, and any repeal or modification of any such law or of this
      Article shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with
      respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit
      or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole
      or
      in part upon any such state of facts.
For
      purposes of this Article, references to "other enterprises" shall include
      employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
      assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references
      to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties
      on,
      or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect
      to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person
      who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the
      interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
      shall
      be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the
      Corporation.
Article XI
      of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company provides as
      follows:
Section 11.1
Third-Party
      Actions
.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is
      a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or
      completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
      or investigative, including all appeals (other than an action by or in the
      right
      of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
      officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
      request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent
      of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
      against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgment, fines, and amounts paid
      in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
      with
      the action, suit, or proceeding; if the person acted in good faith and in a
      manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
      interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
      proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
      unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by
      judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or
      its
      equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
      not
      act in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be
      in or
      not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
      criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or
      her
      conduct was unlawful.
Section 11.2
Derivative
      Actions
.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is
      a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or
      completed action or suit, including all appeals, by or in the right of the
      Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the
      person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation,
      or
      is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee,
      officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
      trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
      actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense
      or
      settlement of the action or suit, if
3
he
      or she
      acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
      or
      not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.  However, no
      indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as
      to
      which the person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
      performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent
      that the court of common pleas or the court in which the action or suit was
      brought determines on application that, despite the adjudication of liability
      but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
      reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses that the court of common pleas
      or
      other court shall deem proper.
Section 11.3
Rights
      After Successful Defense
.  To the extent that a director, trustee,
      officer, employee, or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise
      in
      defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section 11.1 or
      11.2, above, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in that action, suit,
      or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including
      attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
      with the action, suit, or proceeding.
Section 11.4
Other
      Determination of Rights
.  Unless ordered by a court, any
      indemnification made under Section 11.1 or 11.2, above, shall be made by
      the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case on a determination
      that
      indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent is proper
      in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of
      conduct set forth in Section 11.1 or 11.2, above.  The
      determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting
      of directors who were not and are not parties to or threatened with the action,
      suit, or proceeding; (b) if the described quorum is not obtainable or if a
      majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
      legal counsel in a written opinion; (c) by the stockholders; or (d) by
      the court in which the action, suit, or proceeding was brought.
Section 11.5
Advances
      of Expenses
.  Expenses of each person seeking indemnification
      under Section 11.1 or 11.2, above, may be paid by the Corporation as they
      are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or
      proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case, on
      receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer,
      employee, or agent to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that
      he or
      she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.
Section 11.6
Nonexclusiveness;
      Heirs
.  The indemnification provided by this Article shall
      not be deemed exclusive of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights to
      which those seeking indemnification may be entitled as a matter of law or under
      the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, any agreement, vote of
      stockholders, any insurance purchased by the Corporation, or otherwise, both
      as
      to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity
      while holding that office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased
      to
      be a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the
      benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of that person.
The
      effect of the foregoing provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
      the
      Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws
      would be to permit such indemnification of officers and directors by the Company
      for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The
      Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and
      executive officers to indemnify them against certain
      liabilities.  Consistent with the provisions of the Company's Amended
      and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws,
      under the terms of the agreements, the Company will indemnify its directors
      and
      executive officers to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against
      all expenses, liabilities and losses incurred in connection with any legal
      proceeding brought against any of them by reason of their status as directors,
      officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company.  The
      expenses, liabilities and losses which the Company is
4
obligated
      to pay may include judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of such
      legal
      proceedings by its directors and executive officers so long as they acted in
      good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed was in the best
      interests of the Company.
The
      Company has purchased $70 million of insurance policies which insure the
      Company's directors and officers against liability which they may incur as a
      result of actions taken in such capacities.  In addition, the Company
      maintains trust errors and omissions coverage up to a limit of $40
      million.

Item
      9.    Undertakings.
(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
                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; and
5
(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;
provided,
      however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
      information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
      paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
      by
      the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 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.
(b)
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 Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
                in this
                Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
                relating to the securities offered herein, 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
                of
                1933 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 policy as expressed in the Act and
                will
                be governed by the final adjudication of such
                issue.
