SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISK FACTORS
THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS TREND INFORMATION AND FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE ACTUAL RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE COMPANY'S HISTORICAL
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THOSE DISCUSSED IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS
A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
-5-
<PAGE>
IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
1. HISTORY OF LOSSES: The Company has had net losses during each of
-----------------
the last ten years, with the exception of 1995. Since 1987 the net income (or
net loss) each year has been ($1,742,859); ($680,715); ($1,517,746);
($1,718,090); ($1,287,915); ($1,576,453); ($983,427); ($702,392); $773,276; and
($594,237) for the years ended December, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992,
1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
2. DILUTION: To the extent that a stockholder of the Company does
--------
not fully exercise the Rights granted to him or her, the stockholder's shares
may represent a smaller percentage of the Company's outstanding Common Stock
upon the completion of the Offering. See "Dilution."
3. CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP AND POTENTIAL INCREASE IN CONTROL: As of
-----------------------------------------------------
July 1, 1997, the Company's principal stockholders were members of the Loeb
Group (Loeb Investors Co. XL, Estate of John L. Loeb, and John L. Loeb, Jr.).
As of July 1, 1997 the Loeb Group held approximately 72.8% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (1,993,713 shares).
The Loeb Group has indicated to Management that it intends to fully
exercise its basic subscription privilege and its oversubscription privilege.
Depending upon the number of shares for which the other stockholders subscribe
pursuant to their basic subscription privilege and any oversubscription
privilege, the Loeb Group may increase its percentage ownership of the Company
and its control of the Company as a result of the Rights Offering. If
stockholders, other than members of the Loeb Group, do not exercise any of their
basic subscription rights, and if members of the Loeb Group exercise their full
basic subscription rights and oversubscribe for all remaining shares, then at
the conclusion of the Rights Offering, the Loeb Group would own 2,538,713 shares
of Common Stock, or approximately 78.2% of the then outstanding Common Stock.
4. DIVIDENDS: No dividends have been paid by the Company in the
---------
past and it is unlikely that they will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Stockholders who anticipate the need for either immediate or future income by
way of dividends from their investments should refrain from the purchase of
Common Stock offered hereby.
5. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL: Assuming the Offering is fully
---------------------------
subscribed, and assuming that the cost of funding the Company's future
operations is consistent with the cost of funding the Company's past operations,
the Company should have sufficient cash to fund its operations at their present
level into the year 2001. If the Offering is not fully subscribed, or if the
Company undertakes additional operations or experiences any significant changes
in the level or nature of its present operations, or if the Company uses a
significant amount of the proceeds from this Offering in its real estate
development activities, the Company may require additional funding before the
year 2001.
-6-
<PAGE>
6. RISKS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT: The Company intends to use
--------------------------------
some of the proceeds of the Rights Offering to continue the development of
selected portions of its real estate holdings. See "Use of Proceeds." Use of
the proceeds from the Rights Offering for real estate development activities
will be subject to many of the risks generally incident to real estate
development, including the possibility of adverse changes in national or local
economic and market conditions, changes in the investment climate for real
estate, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, competition,
effects of overbuilding, environmental risks, acts of God, and uncertainties
involved in engineering, financing and in the permitting and zoning process.
The Company cannot predict the effects such risks may have on its real estate
development activities.
7. POSSIBLE CONTINUING LOSSES: After posting net income of $773,276
--------------------------
on revenues of $5,638,562 in 1995, the Company sustained a loss of $594,237 on
revenues of $6,246,935 in 1996. The loss in 1996 is attributable to several
factors, including slower than expected lot sales in the Company's Hidden
Meadows subdivision and costs associated with the initial year of operations of
the Company's mine tour attraction exceeding revenues. There can be no
assurance that the factors that contributed to such losses will not continue
into the future and, if they do, such occurrence could have a negative impact on
the Company and its Common Stock.
THE OFFERING
United Park is hereby issuing to its stockholders non-transferable
Rights to subscribe for up to 545,000 additional shares of its Common Stock.
Such Rights will be issued to the holders of Common Stock as of the close of
business on ______________, 1997 (the "Record Date"). The stockholders as of
the Record Date will receive one (1) Right for each five (5) shares of Common
Stock they own at the Record Date. If, on the Record Date, a stockholder does
not own a number of shares evenly divisible by five, the number of Rights such
stockholder shall receive shall be equal to the number of shares held by such
stockholder on the Record Date multiplied by a fraction with one (1) as the
numerator and five (5) as the denominator, with any resulting fraction being
rounded up to the nearest whole number. Each Right will entitle the holder
thereof to subscribe for one (1) additional share of Common Stock for $_______.
The Rights will be evidenced by subscription warrants (the "Warrants") mailed to
the stockholders shortly after the Record Date.
The Company presently has no arrangements to obtain the services of
underwriters, brokers, dealers or other agents in connection with the Offering,
and it has no intention of entering into any such arrangement. Consequently, it
is anticipated that no discounts, commissions or finder's fees will be paid.
Questions and requests for assistance or additional copies of this
Prospectus or the applicable subscription forms may be directed to: First
Chicago Trust Company of New York, P.O. Box 2560, Jersey City, New Jersey 07303-
2560 (the "Subscription Agent")
-7-
<PAGE>
telephone number: (201) 324-0137.
SUBSCRIPTION WARRANTS
Rights to subscribe will be evidenced by non-transferable Warrants,
each Warrant evidencing the total number of Rights to which the holder is
entitled. The Warrants will be forwarded to the stockholders after the Record
Date. Each Right will entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one (1)
additional share of Common Stock. Warrants may be divided or combined at the
office of the Subscription Agent. See "The Offering-- Method of Exercising
Rights."
BASIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE
A holder of Rights will have a basic subscription privilege entitling
the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for each Right held upon
payment of a subscription price of $_______ per share (the "Subscription
Price").
OVERSUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE
A stockholder who exercises all the basic subscription Rights
evidenced by a Warrant will have the privilege to subscribe for additional
shares of Common Stock at $______ per share up to the number of Rights set forth
on the Warrant.
If all stockholders do not fully participate in the basic
subscription, excess shares (545,000 shares minus the number of shares issued in
the basic subscription) would be available for the oversubscription privilege.
If the excess shares are not sufficient to satisfy all oversubscriptions, the
excess shares will be allocated pro rata (subject to elimination of fractional
shares) among those stockholders who exercise the oversubscription privilege.
To exercise the oversubscription privilege, the appropriate block on the Warrant
must be completed and payment in full for the entire subscription (including the
basic subscription and the oversubscription) must accompany the Warrant.
Payments for oversubscription will be held by First Chicago Trust Company of New
York until the offering is completed and the calculations of the pro rata
allotment are made. Any refund (without interest) in connection with shares
subscribed for but not purchased due to the pro rata allotment will be delivered
as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Offering. WARRANTS
CONTAINING OVERSUBSCRIPTION FOR MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF RIGHTS SET FORTH ON THE
WARRANT WILL NOT BE HONORED. THEREFORE, A STOCKHOLDER SHOULD EXERCISE CARE IN
COMPLETING HIS/HER WARRANT IF HE/SHE WISHES TO OVERSUBSCRIBE.
METHOD OF EXERCISING RIGHTS
The Rights evidenced by a Warrant may be exercised by mailing or
delivering to the Subscription Agent the duly executed Warrant together with
payment in full of the
-8-
<PAGE>
Subscription Price of $______ per share for each share of Common Stock
subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege and the
oversubscription privilege, if applicable. Payment must be made in U.S. dollars
by bank certified or cashier's check, personal check, money order, or wire
transfer of immediately available funds payable to First Chicago Trust Company
of New York. Payment will be deemed to have been received by the Subscription
Agent only upon (i) the clearance of any uncertified check, (ii) the receipt by
the Subscription Agent of any certified check or bank draft drawn upon a U.S.
bank or any postal, telegraphic or express money order, or (iii) the receipt of
good funds in the Subscription Agent's account. If paying by uncertified
personal check, please note that the funds paid thereby may take five or more
business days to clear. Accordingly, holders of Rights who wish to pay by means
of uncertified personal check are urged to make payment sufficiently in advance
of the Expiration Date to ensure that such payment is received and cleared by
such date and are urged to consider payment by means of certified or cashier's
check, money order, or wire transfer of funds. A holder's exercise of a Right is
irrevocable.

The Company may, in its discretion or in the discretion of the
Subscription Agent, waive a technical or minor defect or irregularity, and may
permit an easily correctable defect or irregularity to be corrected within such
time as it may determine, or may reject any exercise of a Right or other
subscription that has been made improperly and is not easily correctable.
Certificates for shares of Common Stock duly subscribed and paid for and
accepted by the Company in this offering will be issued and delivered to the
purchasers as soon as practicable.
Detailed instructions concerning the method of exercising Rights will
be included in an instruction letter accompanying the Warrants.
RIGHTS EXPIRATION DATE
The Rights may be exercised at any time during the offering period,
which expires at 5:00 p.m. New York time on ________________, 1997 (the
"Expiration Date"). Following the Expiration Date, all unexercised Rights will
terminate and all Warrants will be void.
LATE DELIVERY OF WARRANTS
If the Subscription Agent has received, prior to 5:00 p.m. New York
time, on the Expiration Date, full payment as specified above for the total
number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for by a stockholder, together with
a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery from a bank or trust company or a member of a
recognized securities exchange in the United States, stating the name of the
subscriber, the number of Rights represented by the Warrant, and the number of
shares of Common Stock subscribed for, and guaranteeing that the Warrant will be
delivered within 3 business days to the Subscription Agent, such subscription
will be accepted by the Subscription Agent, subject to withholding of the stock
certificate representing the shares of Common Stock subscribed for pending
receipt of the duly executed Warrant.
STOCKHOLDERS WHO FAIL TO DELIVER THEIR SIGNED
-10-
<PAGE>
SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT AND FULL PAYMENT (INCLUDING FINAL CLEARANCE OF ANY CHECKS)
TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, OR PAYMENT WITH GUARANTY OF DELIVERY AS SET FORTH
ABOVE, PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THEIR
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
FOREIGN RESTRICTIONS
Warrants will not be mailed to any stockholder whose record address is
outside the United States, Canada or Mexico, or whose record address is an APO
or FPO address. However, each of the stockholders will be sent a prospectus
along with instructions on how to exercise their Rights through the Subscription
Agent. The Rights to which such an unmailed Warrant relates will be held by the
Subscription Agent for the respective stockholder's account until instructions
are received from such stockholder to exercise the Rights. If no instructions
have been received by 12:00 noon, New York time, two business days prior to the
Expiration Date, the rights of such stockholder, together with the Rights of
stockholders whose addresses are not known by the Subscription Agent, will
expire.
SUBSCRIPTION PROCEEDS
All funds received by the Subscription Agent from the exercise of
basic subscription privileges will be sent promptly by the Subscription Agent to
the Company. All funds received by the Subscription Agent from the exercise of
oversubscription privileges will be held by the Subscription Agent until the
Expiration Date, whereupon the funds will be disbursed to the Company and the
oversubscribers, depending on the extent of the oversubscriptions. No interest
will be paid to stockholders on funds returned due to cancellation of the
Offering or proration of oversubscriptions.
DETERMINATION OF SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
The Board of Directors has established the Subscription Price at
$______ per share because that is a price at which the Board of Directors
believes all stockholders will be able and willing to participate in the Rights
Offering with the least dilutive effect on the value of the outstanding shares.
The Company's Common Stock has recently traded on the NYSE for as low as $______
per share.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming the entire 545,000 shares are sold in the Offering, the
Company would raise approximately $______________. Expenses for the Rights
Offering are estimated at approximately $192,000 which would result in net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $______________. The Company intends
to use the proceeds of the Rights Offering to repay short-term indebtedness,
for continued real estate development activities, and to
-11-
<PAGE>
provide working capital for the Company's continuing operations. Assuming the
Offering is fully subscribed, and assuming that the cost of funding the
Company's future operations is consistent with the cost of funding the Company's
past operations, the Company should have sufficient funding to fund its
operations at their present level into the year 2001. If the Offering is not
fully subscribed, or if the Company undertakes additional operations or
experiences any significant changes in the level or nature of its present
operations, or if the Company uses a significant amount of the proceeds from
this Offering in its real estate development activities, the Company may require
additional funding before the year 2001.
The Company experienced a cash deficiency in early 1997, thus
necessitating the Company's borrowing a total of $280,700 from an unrelated
third party in June 1997. The borrowed cash is being used to fund the Company's
ongoing operations through approximately October, 1997 (the anticipated month
for receipt of proceeds of the Rights Offering). The loan accrues simple
interest at the annual rate of 1% above the floating prime commercial lending
rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. The Company will use some of the
proceeds from the Rights Offering to repay this loan. The Company may also use
some of the proceeds from the Rights Offering to repay a bank loan from Zions
First National Bank that was used to fund operations. The bank loan accrues
interest at the rate of 8.25%, and as of June 30, 1997, the outstanding balance
of the bank loan was $446,598.
Proceeds from the Rights Offering will also be used by the Company to
continue to formulate and implement development plans for the Company's real
estate. While the Board of Directors believes that the current value of the
Company's real property is in excess of its book value, by an orderly
development of its properties, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that its
value will continue to increase as the real estate market improves in the Park
City area and funds become more readily available to finance real estate
development.
Many factors will affect the Company's strategies with respect to
development of its real estate. Some of these factors which the Company must
address and resolve in developing a comprehensive long term business plan for
its real estate development include, but are not necessarily limited to,
competition, cooperative agreements with other parties, governmental approvals,
master plans, engineering, installation of improvements, and financing.
In addition, pursuant to a settlement agreement dated November 6,
1992, between United Park and Royal Street Land Company, Deer Valley Resort
Company, Royal Street of Utah, Royal Street Development Company (collectively
"Deer Valley"), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., United Park has the opportunity,
under certain circumstances, to develop, without the encumbrance of the Deer
Valley Ski Lease, certain parcels of land which are currently subject to the
Deer Valley Ski Lease. This settlement agreement also provides Deer Valley,
under certain circumstances, the opportunity to acquire United Park's interest
in the
-12-
<PAGE>
surface estate of the balance of the land within the Deer Valley Ski Lease. Both
United Park's and Deer Valley's opportunities concerning these parcels of land
are contingent upon master plan approval by the Park City Municipal Corporation
("Park City") and acceptance of the master plan by United Park. In 1993, United
Park began actively working on the design of a real estate development project
on these parcels of land known as Flagstaff Mountain in Deer Valley. In 1994,
United Park requested annexation and master plan approval for the project from
Park City. United Park revised the master plan and diligently pursued approval
for the project from Park City during 1995, 1996 and the first part of 1997. At
the end of June, 1997, United Park ceased discussions with Park City regarding
annexation and master plan approval of the project due to unacceptable economic
and development restrictions proposed for the project by Park City. United Park,
with the cooperation of Deer Valley, is pursuing its development opportunities
for the project in the county where the project is located. It is anticipated
that proceeds from the Rights Offering will be used in the Company's efforts to
obtain approval for this project and may be used in the eventual development of
the Flagstaff Mountain project.
The Company has, from time to time, had discussions of a preliminary
nature with various entities regarding arrangements which would allow the
Company, either on its own or in a joint venture, to develop other portions of
its real property or to purchase property that would provide income to the
Company. The Company may use some of the proceeds from the Rights Offering to
pursue such discussions and, to the extent available, may use some of the
proceeds to consummate any agreement which may be reached as a result of any
such discussions.
In 1995, the Company developed and constructed a mine tour attraction
at some of its mining facilities. The mine tour attraction is operated by the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary Park City Silver Mine Adventure, Inc. The
mine tour attraction is located at the Ontario Mine and includes history and
mining exhibits, multi-media presentations, computer interactive programs,
dioramas, a theater, and pictorial displays, along with a gift shop and a food
concession. The primary attraction is an underground tour of a part of the
Company's Ontario Mine. As part of this attraction, guests descend 1,500 feet
into the Ontario Mine, ride a specially designed mine train through mine
tunnels, view mine equipment from several different eras, and observe a multi-
media presentation. In 1996 the mine tour attraction lost approximately
$600,000 (exclusive of depreciation), on total revenue of $1.3 million.
Management anticipates that the mine tour attraction will pay for its direct
expenses in 1997, and will become profitable thereafter. Proceeds from the
Rights Offering will be used to defray some of the operating expenses of the
mine tour adventure until such time as it becomes profitable.
In the event the Rights Offering is not fully subscribed, the proceeds
from the Rights Offering will be used first to repay short-term indebtedness to
an unrelated third party in the amount of approximately $280,700, second, to
repay a bank loan in the amount of approximately $446,598, third to fund
operating
-13-
<PAGE>
expenses and working capital, and fourth, for real estate development.
DILUTION
If a stockholder does not exercise the entire basic subscription
privilege represented by the Warrants received in this Offering, the
stockholder's percentage ownership in the Company will decrease. For example, a
stockholder owning 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock presently owns
0.370% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Assuming the stockholder does
not exercise his or her basic subscription privilege to purchase any of the
Shares, and assuming all of the Shares are sold in this Offering, the
stockholder's percentage ownership in the Company following the Offering will
decrease to 0.308%.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax
consequences of the distribution and exercise of Rights pursuant to the Rights
Offering. This summary is not tax advice, and is based only on the Company's
understanding of current federal income tax law. The Company does not make any
representation regarding the continuation of such law and does not attempt to
describe any state or local tax laws. The summary does not consider specific
facts and circumstances that may be relevant to a particular stockholder's tax
position. Each stockholder is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to
federal income tax consequences as well as any tax consequences that may arise
under the laws of any state,
-15-
<PAGE>
municipality or foreign jurisdiction. The Company understands that the federal
income tax consequences are as follows:
1. The distribution of Rights to the Company's stockholders pursuant
to the Rights Offering should qualify as a nontaxable distribution of stock
under Section 305(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with the
result that stockholders will not recognize any taxable income upon the receipt
of the Rights.
2. If a Right is exercised, no taxable gain or loss will result to
the stockholder. The Common Stock acquired thereby will have a tax basis equal
to the cash paid to acquire such Common Stock plus, potentially, a portion of
the stockholder's basis in his or her original stock. Qualified tax advice
should be sought to determine a particular stockholder's basis in the new Common
Stock. The holding period for such new Common Stock will begin on the date so
acquired.
3. If a Right is allowed to expire without being exercised, the
stockholder will not recognize a loss or gain. The stockholder's basis in his
or her original stock will remain unchanged by the Rights Offering.
4. The Company will not recognize any taxable income from the
issuance of Rights or of Common Stock pursuant to the Rights Offering, nor will
the Company be entitled to any deduction thereby.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
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. The Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation contains the following provision for the
indemnification of directors and officers:
INDEMNIFICATION: Each director and each officer of the corporation
---------------
shall be indemnified by the corporation against all expenses, as hereinafter
defined, which shall necessarily or reasonably be incurred by him in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding to which he is or shall be a party, or with
which he may be threatened, by reason of his being or having been a director or
officer of the corporation, whether or not he
-17-
<PAGE>
continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses. As
used in this paragraph, expenses shall include amount of judgments against, or
amounts paid in settlement by, such director or officer, other than amounts
payable or paid to the corporation, but shall not include any (a) expenses
incurred in connection with any matters as to which such director or officer
shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding, without such judgment
being reversed, to be liable by reason of his negligence or wilful misconduct in
the performance of his duties as a director or officer, or (b) expenses incurred
in connection with any matters which shall have been subject to such action,
suit or proceeding, disposed of otherwise than by adjudication on the merits,
unless in relation to such matter such director or officer shall not have been
liable for negligence or wilful misconduct in the performance of his duties as a
director or officer. As to whether or not a director or officer was liable for
negligence or wilful misconduct in the performance of his duties as such
director or officer, the Board of Directors and each director and officer may
conclusively rely upon an opinion of legal counsel selected by or in the manner
designated by the Board of Directors. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall be in addition to any rights to which any director or officer may be or
become entitled by law, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
1. 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
-19-
<PAGE>
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 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 purposes 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.
2. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of United Park City Mines Company (the "Company") pursuant to any
provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise, the Company
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 Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit of proceeding) is asserted by such
director, 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 the
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

UNITED PARK CITY MINES COMPANY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WARRANTS
CONSULT THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, YOUR BANK OR BROKER AS TO ANY QUESTIONS
NEITHER THE WARRANTS NOR THE RIGHTS ARE TRANSFERABLE
The following instructions relate to a rights offering ("Rights Offering") by
United Park City Mines Company, a Delaware corporation ("Company"), to the
holders of its $0.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock") as described in the
Company's Prospectus dated __________________________________ ________, 1997
("Prospectus"). Holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on
______________________________________ ________, 1997 ("Record Date") are
receiving one right ("Right") for each five shares of Common Stock held by them
on the Record Date. Each Right is exercisable, upon payment of $_____ in cash
("Exercise Price"), to purchase one share of Common Stock pursuant to a basic
subscription ("Basic Subscription" or "Basic Subscription Privilege"). After
all Basic Subscriptions are processed, a certain number of shares may be
available for oversubscription. Holders who exercise the Basic Subscription
Privilege in full will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares
("Oversubscription" or "Oversubscription Privilege"), subject to allotment. If
the shares available for Oversubscription are not sufficient to satisfy all
Oversubscriptions, the remaining shares will be allotted based upon the number
of shares subscribed for under the Oversubscription Privilege. Payment in full
for all shares subscribed for in both the Basic Subscription Privilege and the
Oversubscription Privilege ("Total Subscription Price") must be received
(including final clearance of any checks) by the Subscription Agent by 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on ____________________________________________
________, 1997 ("Expiration Date"). Any refund in connection with shares
subscribed for but not purchased due to the pro rata allotment will be
delivered, without interest, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the
Rights Offering.
The Rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
The number of Rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your
Warrant. You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your
Rights by completing the appropriate form or forms on your Warrant and returning
the Warrant, together with your payment, to First Chicago Trust Company of New
York ("Subscription Agent") in the envelope provided.
YOUR WARRANTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, OR GUARANTEED DELIVERY
REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR WARRANTS MUST BE COMPLIED WITH, AND PAYMENT OF
THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION PRICE (INCLUDING FINAL CLEARANCE OF ANY CHECKS) MUST BE
RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ON OR BEFORE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,
ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. YOU MAY NOT REVOKE ANY EXERCISE OF A RIGHT.
1. EXERCISE AND SUBSCRIPTION:
To exercise Rights, complete From 1 on your Warrant and send your properly
completed and executed Warrant, together with payment in full of the Total
Subscription Price to the Subscription Agent. Please note that the number of
shares subscribed for in the Basic Subscription Privilege in part (a) of Form 1
is limited to the number of Rights set forth on your Warrant. Please also note
that the number of shares subscribed for in the Oversubscription Privilege in
part (b) of Form 1 is also limited to the number of Rights set forth on your
Warrant. IF YOU COMPLETE EITHER OF THESE SECTIONS FOR MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF
RIGHTS SET FORTH ON YOUR WARRANT, YOUR ENTIRE SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE VOID. PLEASE
EXERCISE CARE IN PROPERLY COMPLETING THESE SECTIONS.
Payment of the Total Subscription Price must be made in US dollars (a) by
check or bank draft drawn upon a US bank or postal, telegraphic or express money
order payable to First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as Subscription Agent,
or (b) by wire transfer of funds to the account maintained by the Subscription
Agent for such purpose at First National Bank of Chicago, ABA No. 0710-0001-3
with further credit to Account No. ____________. The Total Subscription Price
will be deemed to have been received by the Subscription Agent only upon (i) the
clearance of any uncertified check, (ii) the receipt by the Subscription Agent
of any certified check or bank draft drawn upon a US bank or any postal,
telegraphic or express money order or (iii) the receipt of good funds in the
Subscription Agent's account designated above. If paying by uncertified
personal check, please note that the funds paid thereby may take five or more
business days to clear. Accordingly, holders of Rights who wish to pay the
Total Subscription Price by means of uncertified personal check are urged to
make payment sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to ensure that such
payment is received and clears by such date and are urged to consider payment by
means of certified or cashier's check, money order, or wire transfer of funds.
The Company may waive this condition and any other condition in its sole
discretion. You may cause a written guarantee substantially in the form of
Exhibit A to these instructions ("Notice of Guaranteed Delivery") from a member
of a recognized securities exchange in the United States, or from a commercial
bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States
(each of the foregoing being an "Eligible Institution"), to be received by the
Subscription Agent at or prior to the Expiration Date together with payment in
full of the Total Subscription Price.
<PAGE>
Such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must state your name, the number of Rights
represented by your Warrant, the number of shares subscribed for under the Basic
Subscription Privilege, the number of shares subscribed for under the
Oversubscription Privilege, and that the Eligible Institution will guarantee
delivery to the Subscription Agent of your properly completed and executed
Warrant(s) within five New York Stock Exchange trading days following the date
of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. If this procedure is followed, your
Warrant must be received by the Subscription Agent within five New York Stock
Exchange trading days of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery . Additional copies
of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained upon request from the
Subscription Agent at the address, or by calling the telephone number, indicated
below.
Banks, brokers and other nominee holders of Rights who exercise Rights on
behalf of beneficial owners of Rights will be required to certify to the
Subscription Agent and the Company, as to the aggregate number of Rights which
have been exercised, the number of shares thereby subscribed for under the Basic
Subscription Privilege, and the number of shares thereby subscribed for under
the Oversubscription Privilege by each beneficial owner of Rights (which may
include such nominee) on whose behalf such nominee is acting.

2. DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
If the Subscription Agent receives payment and a properly completed and
executed Warrant for the Basic Subscription Privilege only, stock certificates
for shares subscribed for will be delivered as soon as practicable after receipt
of the Warrant and clearance of the payment. As soon as practicable after
termination of the Rights Offering, the Subscription Agent will mail to the
remaining exercising Rights holders certificates representing shares of Common
Stock. Refunds will be made, if necessary, for shares subscribed for in the
Oversubscription Privilege but not issued due to the pro rata allotment.
Delivery of stock certificates and any payments, without interest, for any
refunds due to allotment in the Oversubscription Privilege will be made to the
address shown on the face of your Warrant unless you provide instructions to the
contrary on Form 2.
3. EXECUTION:
(a) Execution by Registered Holder. The signature on the Warrant must
correspond with the name of the registered holder exactly as it appears on the
face of the Warrant without any alteration or change whatsoever. Persons who
sign the Warrant in a representative or other fiduciary capacity must indicate
their capacity when signing and, unless waived by the Subscription Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent
satisfactory evidence of their authority to so act.
(b) Execution by Persons Other than Registered Holder. If the Warrant is
executed by a person other than the holder named on the face of the Warrant,
proper evidence of authority of the person executing the Warrant must accompany
the same unless, for good cause, the Subscription Agent dispenses with proof of
authority.
(c) Signature Guarantees. Your signature must be guaranteed by an Eligible
Institution if you specify special payment or delivery instructions pursuant to
Form 2.
4. METHOD OF DELIVERY OF WARRANTS:
The method of delivery of Warrants and payment of the Total Subscription
Price to the Subscription Agent will be at the election and risk of the Rights
holder, but, if sent by mail, it is recommended that they be sent by registered
mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient
number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and the
clearance of any checks sent in payment of the Total Subscription Price prior to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
