     (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-1 for the
          fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 (File No. 1-06124)
          filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities

     (b)  All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to

          of the fiscal year covered by the documents referred to

          06124) filed under the Act, including any amendment or
          report filed for the purpose of updating such
          description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Act after the date of this
registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-
effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered

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modified or superseded for purposes of this registration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 which 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  Any such statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deeded, except as so modified or superseded, to

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Company's By-laws and Article SEVENTH of the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provide that
the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.  In addition, Article SIXTH of the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
eliminates or limits personal liability of its directors to the
full extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to
time.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and
officers against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably
incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought by third parties, if such directors or
officers acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. 
In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in
connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit,
and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall
have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to
the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that the defendant officers or
directors are reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
despite such adjudication of liability.

     Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware provides that a corporation may eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.  No such provision
shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act
or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision
becomes effective.  

     In addition, the Company's directors and officers
reimbursement and liability insurance provides for
indemnification of the directors and officers of the Company
against certain liabilities.  By contracts, the Company has
agreed to indemnify directors and certain executive officers
against certain liabilities.  A bank trust fund ($1,324,146.96 at
June 30, 1994) formed by the Company in 1988 may be used to pay
legal and other expenses of directors arising out of their
Company activities pursuant to claims by them under their
indemnification contracts with the Company.  The rights of
directors to receive payments for indemnified claims are not
limited by the amount of money in this fund.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

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 (the "Securities
     Act");

          (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;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the 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 securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

     4.  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 Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the 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 thereof.

     5.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities 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 4.  Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Company's By-laws and Article SEVENTH of the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provide that
the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.  In addition, Article SIXTH of the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
eliminates or limits personal liability of its directors to the
full extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to
time.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and
officers against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably
incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought by third parties, if such directors or
officers acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. 
In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in
connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit,
and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall
have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to
the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that the defendant officers or
directors are reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
despite such adjudication of liability.

     Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware provides that a corporation may eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.  No such provision
shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act
or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision
becomes effective.  

     In addition, the Company's directors and officers
reimbursement and liability insurance provides for
indemnification of the directors and officers of the Company
against certain liabilities.  By contracts, the Company has
agreed to indemnify directors and certain executive officers
against certain liabilities.  A bank trust fund ($1,324,146.96 at
June 30, 1994) formed by the Company in 1988 may be used to pay
legal and other expenses of directors arising out of their
Company activities pursuant to claims by them under their
indemnification contracts with the Company.  The rights of
directors to receive payments for indemnified claims are not
limited by the amount of money in this fund.

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 (the "Securities
     Act");

          (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;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the 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 securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

     4.  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 Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the 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 thereof.

     5.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities 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.
