of any type declared, granted or made by the Corporation during the term of

and acknowledges that the Pledgee may reduce the line of credit given
pursuant to this Pledge Agreement in the same proportion as the number of
shares sold bears to the number of shares carried in all accounts with the
Pledgee to secure a line of credit immediately prior to such sale.  However,
the preceding sentence, notwithstanding, if the applicable margin maintenance
requirements would preclude such a line of credit after such sale, the line
of credit shall be reduced below the maximum line of credit permitted by such
