     12.  Indicate by a check after the applicable  statement  below whether the
          issue,  renewal or  guaranty  of each  security  was  exempt  from the
          provisions of Section 6(a) because of:
          a)  the provisions contained in the first sentence of Section 6(b):
              All notes.
          b)  the provisions contained in the fourth sentence of Section 6(b):
              Not applicable.
          c)  the provisions contained in any rule of the Commission other than
              Rule U-48:  Rule 52.
     13.  If the  security or  securities  were exempt  from the  provisions  of
          Section 6(a) by virtue of the first sentence of Section 6(b), give the
          figures  which  indicate  that the  security or  securities  aggregate
          (together  with all  other  than  outstanding  notes  and  drafts of a
          maturity of nine  months or less,  exclusive  of days of grace,  as to
          which such company is primarily or secondarily liable) not more than 5
          percentum  of  the  principal  amount  and  par  value  of  the  other
          securities of such company then outstanding. (Demand notes, regardless
          of how long they may have been  outstanding,  shall be  considered  as
          maturing  in not more than nine months for  purposes of the  exemption
          from Section 6(a) of the Act granted by the first  sentence of Section
          6(b)): AMC's  capitalization  consists of 137,215,462 shares of issued
          and  outstanding  common  stock.  The fair market  value of the Common
          stock during the second  quarter,  on a per share  basis,  ranged from
          $30.625 to $38.00.  5% of the total fair market value therefore ranged
          from  $210,111,176  to  $260,709,378.  Thus,  at all times the  amount
          outstanding as filed on this  certificate was less than 5% of the fair
          market value capitalization.
     14.  If the  security  or  securities  are exempt  from the  provisions  of
          Section 6(a) because of the fourth  sentence of Section 6(b), name the
          security  outstanding  on January 1,  1935,  pursuant  to the terms of
          which the security or securities  herein  described  have been issued.
          Not applicable.
     15.  If the  security  or  securities  are exempt  from the  provisions  of
          Section  6(a)  because of any rule of the  Commission  other than Rule
          U-48 [Reg.  ss.  250.48,  P.  36,621]  designate  the rule under which
          exemption is claimed. Not applicable.
