Item 27.    Indemnification

            Reference  is made to  Article  VII,  Section 3 of the  Registrant's

            hereto, and Article VI,


<PAGE>



            Section 2 of  Registrant's  By-Laws,  incorporated  by  reference as
            Exhibit (2) hereto.

            Insofar  as   indemnification   for  liability   arising  under  the
            Securities  Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and
            controlling   persons  of  Registrant   pursuant  to  the  foregoing
            provisions,  or otherwise,  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
            Registrant  of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or
            controlling  person of 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,  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.
