the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement and shall be deemed a
part hereof:

     (a) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (filed

     (b) Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 17,

Form 8-A to Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated July 11, 1988, Amendment

be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to

contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in
any other subsequently filed document, that also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     An opinion concerning the validity of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock has been rendered for the Registrant by Mark C. Hill, Senior Vice
President, Corporate Secretary and General Counsel of the Registrant. Mr. Hill
beneficially owns or has rights to acquire under employee benefit plans, an
aggregate of less than 1% of shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants corporations the
power to indemnify officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to permit
such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Act. Article XIV of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provides for indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted
by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the foregoing by-law

                                       2

<PAGE>

provision or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the 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.

         The Registrant carries directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies under which all of the directors and executive officers of Registrant
are insured against loss imposed upon them with respect to their legal liability
for breach of their duty to Registrant. Excluded from coverage under said policy
are fines and penalties imposed by law upon such directors and officers or other
matters which may be deemed uninsurable such as material acts of active and
deliberate dishonesty committed by the insureds with actual dishonest purpose
and intent. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification
agreements with its directors and certain officers for indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         None Applicable

the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement and shall be deemed a
part hereof:

     (a) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (filed
March 29, 2001);

     (b) Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 17,

     (e) Registration Statement on Form 8-B dated February 26, 1968,

have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in
any other subsequently filed document, that also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     An opinion concerning the validity of the issuance of shares of Common
Stock has been rendered for the Registrant by Mark C. Hill, Senior Vice
President, Corporate Secretary and General Counsel of the Registrant. Mr. Hill
beneficially owns or has rights to acquire under employee benefit plans, an
aggregate of less than 1% of shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants corporations the
power to indemnify officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to permit
such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Act. Article XIV of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provides for indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted
by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the foregoing by-law

                                       2
provision or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the 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.

         The Registrant carries directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies under which all of the directors and executive officers of Registrant
are insured against loss imposed upon them with respect to their legal liability
for breach of their duty to Registrant. Excluded from coverage under said policy
are fines and penalties imposed by law upon such directors and officers or other
matters which may be deemed uninsurable such as material acts of active and
deliberate dishonesty committed by the insureds with actual dishonest purpose
and intent. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification
agreements with its directors and certain officers for indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         None Applicable
