Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          -------------------------

          See Item 3.

<PAGE>
Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------

          The legality of the Common Shares offered hereby is
being passed upon for the Company by Sidley & Austin, One First
National Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60603.  The Company is

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          ------------------------------------------

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
contains a provision providing that no director or officer of the
Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director or officer except for breach of the director's or
officer's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful payment of
dividends, unlawful stock redemptions or repurchases and
transactions from which the director or officer derived an
improper personal benefit.

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
permits indemnification of directors, officers and employees of a
corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain
limitations.  Article XI of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, contains provisions for the
indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the
Company within the limitations permitted by Section 145.

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
contains provisions permitting (and, in some situations,
requiring) Delaware corporations such as the Company to provide
indemnification to their officers and directors for losses and
litigation expense incurred in connection with, among other
things, their service to the corporation in those capacities. 
Among other things, these provisions provide that the Company is
required to 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 any action by or in
the right of the Company) (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company,
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise (including service with
respect to any employee benefit plan) against expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such Proceeding to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
exists or may be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted
the Company to provide prior to such amendment).  These
provisions also provide for the advance payment of fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by the director or officer in
defense of any such Proceeding, subject to reimbursement by the
director or officer if it is ultimately determined that such
officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company.

          The Company has directors' and officers' liability
insurance which provides, subject to certain policy limits,
deductible amounts and exclusions, coverage for all persons who
have been, are or may in the future be, directors or officers of
the Company, against amounts which such persons must pay
resulting from claims against them by reason of their being such
directors or officers during the policy period for certain
breaches of duty, omissions or other acts done or wrongfully
attempted or alleged.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          -------------

          The Company hereby undertakes:

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

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

               (b)  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;

               (c)  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 1.(a) and
               1.(b) do 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section
               15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference in the 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.  

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

          4.   That, for the purposes of determining any
               liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
               the Company's Annual Report pursuant to Section
               13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
               where applicable, each filing of an employee
               benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
               15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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
               hereof.

          5.   That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities
               arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
               to directors, officers and controlling persons of
               the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
               or otherwise, the Company has been advised 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
               director, officer or controlling person of the
               Company in the successful defense of any action,
               suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, 

                               -3-

<PAGE>
               officer or controlling person in connection with
               the securities being registered, the Company 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.

          --------------------------------------

          The legality of the Common Shares offered hereby is
being passed upon for the Company by Sidley & Austin, One First

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          ------------------------------------------

          The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
contains a provision providing that no director or officer of the
Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director or officer except for breach of the director's or
officer's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful payment of
dividends, unlawful stock redemptions or repurchases and
transactions from which the director or officer derived an
improper personal benefit.

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
permits indemnification of directors, officers and employees of a
corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain
limitations.  Article XI of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, contains provisions for the
indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the
Company within the limitations permitted by Section 145.

          Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
contains provisions permitting (and, in some situations,
requiring) Delaware corporations such as the Company to provide
indemnification to their officers and directors for losses and
litigation expense incurred in connection with, among other
things, their service to the corporation in those capacities. 
Among other things, these provisions provide that the Company is
required to 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 any action by or in
the right of the Company) (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company,
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise (including service with
respect to any employee benefit plan) against expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such Proceeding to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
exists or may be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment,
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted
the Company to provide prior to such amendment).  These
provisions also provide for the advance payment of fees and
expenses reasonably incurred by the director or officer in
defense of any such Proceeding, subject to reimbursement by the
director or officer if it is ultimately determined that such
officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company.

          The Company has directors' and officers' liability
insurance which provides, subject to certain policy limits,
deductible amounts and exclusions, coverage for all persons who
have been, are or may in the future be, directors or officers of
the Company, against amounts which such persons must pay
resulting from claims against them by reason of their being such
directors or officers during the policy period for certain
breaches of duty, omissions or other acts done or wrongfully
attempted or alleged.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Revenue Code.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          -------------

          The Company hereby undertakes:

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

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

               (b)  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;

               (c)  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 1.(a) and
               1.(b) do 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section
               15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference in the 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.  

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

          4.   That, for the purposes of determining any
               liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
               the Company's Annual Report pursuant to Section
               13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
               where applicable, each filing of an employee
               benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
               15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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
               hereof.

          5.   That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities
               arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
               to directors, officers and controlling persons of
               the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
               or otherwise, the Company has been advised 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
               director, officer or controlling person of the
               Company in the successful defense of any action,
               suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, 

                               -3-
officer or controlling person in connection with
               the securities being registered, the Company 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. 

                               -4-
