      WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement provides that prior to the time

     WHEREAS, the parties have determined that instead of

necessary, prior to said transfer of direct ownership of the shares

the shareholders of BANK ONE LEXINGTON held for such purpose or by
means of a unanimous written consent of BANK ONE LEXINGTON
