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

Item 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     (See Item 3(i).)


Item 5.   INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The person who executed the opinion of counsel in Exhibit 5 attached hereto
is employed by the Corporation as Senior Corporate Attorney.


Item 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Delaware Corporation Law provides for the indemnification of directors
and officers under certain conditions.  The By-Laws of the Corporation permit
indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law.  In addition,
the Corporation is bound by agreements with certain of its directors and
officers which obligate the Corporation to indemnify such persons in various
circumstances.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Corporation 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 Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation has in effect a directors and officers liability insurance
policy indemnifying the directors and officers of the Corporation and the
directors and officers of the Corporation's subsidiaries within a specific limit
for certain liabilities incurred by them, including liabilities under the Act.
The Corporation pays the entire premium of this policy.

     The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which
eliminates the personal liability of directors of the Corporation for monetary
damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty, as permitted by Section
102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

Item 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  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
          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.

                                        5

<PAGE>

          Provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (1) (i) and (a) (1) (ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 purpose 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.

     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 of 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.

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to 4,600,000 shares of

examined such questions of law and such corporate records and other documents as
