              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  unaudited  financial  information  furnished  herein,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  reflects all adjustments that are necessary  to  state  fairly  the
financial  position, the results of operations, and cash flows  of  Health  Care
Property  Investors,  Inc.  and  its affiliates (the  "Company").   The  Company
presumes  that users of the interim financial information herein  have  read  or
have access to the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial Condition and Results of Operations  for  the  preceding
fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1995 and that  the  adequacy  of  additional
disclosures  needed  for  a  fair presentation, except  in  regard  to  material
contingencies,  may be determined in that context.  Accordingly,  footnotes  and
other  disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures  contained
in  the  Company's  most  recent annual report to  security  holders  have  been
omitted.   The interim financial information contained herein is not necessarily
representative  of  a  full  year's operations  for  various  reasons  including
acquisitions, changes in rents, interest rates and the timing of debt and equity
financings.  These same considerations apply to all year-to-year comparisons.

Net Income Per Share

Net  income  per  share  is calculated by dividing net income  by  the  weighted
average  common  shares  outstanding during the period.  There  were  28,666,334
shares outstanding as of September 30, 1996.

(2)  MAJOR OPERATORS

Listed  below  are the Company's major operators and the percentage  of  current
revenue from these operators and their subsidiaries.

(4)  COMMITMENTS

The  Company  has  outstanding commitments on closed development transactions
of approximately $29,000,000 and on pending development transactions of 
approximately $95,000,000.   The Company is also committed to acquire 
approximately  $48,000,000 of existing health care facilities.  The Company
expects that a significant portion of  these  commitments will be funded; 
however, historically, not all transactions on  which the Company has had a 
commitment have closed. Transactions do not  close for  various  reasons  
including unsatisfied conditions  to  closing,  competitive financing sources, 
final negotiation differences, and the operator's inability  to obtain required
internal or governmental approvals.


(5)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On  October  17,  1996 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly  dividend  of
$0.59  per share payable on November 20, 1996, to stockholders of record on the
close of business on November 4, 1996.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The  Company  is  in  the business of acquiring health care facilities  that  it
leases  on a long-term basis to health care providers.  On a more limited basis,
the  Company  has provided mortgage financing on health care facilities.  As  of
September  30,  1996,  the Company's portfolio of properties,  including  equity
investments, consisted of 212 facilities located in 38 states.  These facilities
are  comprised of 136 long-term care facilities, 49 congregate care and assisted
living  facilities, 12 medical office buildings, six acute care  hospitals,  six
rehabilitation  facilities,  two  physician  group  practice  clinics  and   one
psychiatric care facility. The gross acquisition price of the properties,  which
includes  partnership acquisitions, was approximately $900,000,000 at  September
30, 1996.

As  of September 30, 1996, the Company had commitments to purchase and construct
health  care  facilities totaling approximately $172,000,000 for funding  during
1996  and  1997.   The  Company  expects that a  significant  portion  of  these
commitments  will be funded and a portion will not be funded. (See Note  (4)  to
the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net  Income  for  the  three and nine months ended September  30,  1996  totaled
$15,028,000  or $0.52 per share and $45,220,000 or $1.58 per share, on  revenues
of  $29,877,000 and $89,406,000, respectively.  This compares to Net  Income  of
$14,644,000 or $0.51 per share and $66,266,000 or $2.34 per share on revenues of
$26,274,000  and  $78,913,000 for the corresponding periods in  1995.   The  Net
Income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 included $23,550,000  or  an
$0.83 per share gain on the sale of  properties.

Base  Rents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased  by
$4,102,000  and  $11,167,000 to $21,130,000 and $62,021,000,  respectively.  The
majority  of  the  increase in Base Rents was generated by  new  investments  in
excess  of $200,000,000 in 1995 and the first nine months of 1996.  The increase
in earnings was also assisted by higher Additional Rent and Interest Income from
the existing portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 of
$483,000  and  $1,330,000  to  $4,839,000 and $15,389,000,  respectively.    The
increase was offset by a decrease in Interest and Other Income for the three and
nine  months  ended September 30, 1996 of $982,000 and $1,263,000, respectively,
as a result of the payoff of certain mortgage loans.

Interest  Expense  for  the  three  and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996
increased   by   $2,093,000  and  $5,521,000,  to  $6,736,000  and  $19,638,000,
respectively.    The  increase  in Interest Expense  is  primarily  due  to  the
Company's February 1996 issuance of $115,000,000 6.5% Senior Notes due 2006, the
proceeds  of which were invested in new long-term investments.  Depreciation/Non
Cash  Charges increased $1,041,000 and $2,624,000 to $5,863,000 and $16,825,000,
respectively,  for  the  three and nine months ended September  30,  1996.   The
increase is primarily related to the new investments discussed above.

<PAGE>

In  1996, the Company adopted the new definition of Funds From Operations  (FFO)
prescribed  by  the  National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts
(NAREIT).   FFO  is  now  defined  as net income (computed  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring  and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation,  and  after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO  on
the same basis.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
in  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered  as
an alternative to net income.

The  Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating
performance.   Historical  cost  accounting for real  estate  assets  implicitly
assumes  that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over  time.
Since  real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market
conditions,  presentations of operating results for  a  real  estate  investment
trust   that  uses  historical  cost  accounting  for  depreciation   could   be
uninformative.   The term FFO was designed by the real estate  investment  trust
industry  to address this problem.  FFO, as defined by the Company in accordance
with  the NAREIT prescription may not be comparable to similarly entitled  items
reported  by  other REITs that do not define it in accordance  with  the  NAREIT
definition.

Funds From Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:

</TABLE>

FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased $1,158,000
and  $4,901,000,  respectively, from the comparable periods in the  prior  year.
The  increases  are attributable to increases in Base Rents and Additional  Rent
and  Interest  Income,  as  offset by increases in Interest  Expense  and  Other
Expenses and decreases in Interest Income which are discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company  has  financed acquisitions through the sale of common  stock,  the
issuance  of long-term debt, the assumption of mortgage debt, the use of  short-
term   bank  lines  and  internally  generated  cash  flow.   Facilities   under
construction  are  generally financed by means of cash  on  hand  or  short-term
borrowings  under the Company's existing bank lines. In the future, the  Company
may  use its Medium-Term Note ("MTN") program to finance a portion of the  costs
of  construction.   At  the completion of construction and commencement  of  the
lease,  short-term  borrowings  used in the  construction  phase  are  generally
refinanced with new long-term debt or equity offerings.

On  February 15, 1996, the Company issued $115,000,000 in Unsecured Senior Notes
due  2006 bearing a coupon of 6.5%.  The majority of the proceeds from this debt
issuance  was used to retire short-term bank debt and to fund acquisitions  made
during  the  first  three  quarters of 1996.   The  balance  has  been  invested
temporarily  in  short-term investments pending deployment  in  long-term  asset
acquisitions. At September 30, 1996, stockholders' equity in the Company totaled
$338,072,000  and the debt to equity ratio was 1.12 to 1.  For the  nine  months
ended September 30, 1996, Funds From Operations covered interest expense 4.0 
to 1.

At September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $50,975,000 available under
its  Medium-Term  Note  Program, registered pursuant  to  a  shelf  registration
statement, for future issuance of MTNs based on Company needs and then  existing
market   conditions.    In   September   1995,     the    Company     registered
$200,000,000   of   debt   and  equity  securities  under  a  shelf registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of which $85,000,000
in debt or equity securities remains available to be offered by the Company.  As
of  September 30, 1996, the Company had $100,000,000 available on its  revolving
line  of  credit.   This  line  of credit with a group  of  seven  domestic  and
international  banks expires on March 31, 1999.  The Company's  debt  securities
have  been  rated investment grade by debt rating agencies since 1986.   Current
ratings  of  the  Company's  Senior and Convertable Subordinated  Notes  are  as
follows:

Since inception in May 1985, the Company has recorded approximately $489,823,000
in  cumulative  Funds From Operations.  Of this amount, a total of  $410,595,000
has  been  distributed to stockholders as dividends.  The balance of $79,228,000
has been retained, and has been an additional source of capital for the Company.

At  September 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $33,300,000 in irrevocable
letters  of  credit  from  commercial banks to secure the  obligations  of  many
lessees'  lease and borrowers' loan obligations.  The Company may draw upon  the
letters  of  credit  if  there are any defaults under the leases  and/or  loans.
Amounts  available under letters of credit change from time  to  time  and  such
changes may be material.

The  third  quarter  1996  dividend of $0.58 per share  or  $16,626,000  in  the
aggregate  was paid on August 20, 1996.  Total dividends paid during  the  three
months ended September 30, 1996 as a percentage of Funds From Operations for the
corresponding period was 83.4%.  The Company declared a fourth quarter  dividend
of  $0.59 per share or $16,920,000 in the aggregate, to be paid on November  20,
1996.

The Company and an affiliate of HealthSouth Corporation have signed a memorandum
of understanding to exchange the Company's closed Dallas rehabilitation hospital
for the HealthSouth Sunrise Rehabilitation Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The  Sunrise  Rehabilitation Hospital, which is licensed  as  a  108  bed  acute
rehabilitation hospital, specializes in programs for burn patients,  spinal  and
hand rehabilitation, and pediatric trauma treatment and functions at a very high
percentage of occupancy.  The Dallas facility lease was scheduled to  expire  in
June 1999 with annual rent aggregating approximately $3,100,000.  Annual rent on
the Florida property will aggregate $2,250,000 with a fifteen year primary term.
The  lease  obligations  will  be  guaranteed by  HealthSouth  Corporation.  The
property  exchange,  which is subject to the execution of definitive  agreements
and  the satisfaction of various conditions, is expected to be finalized  before
November 30, 1996.  The Company invested approximately $18,000,000 in the Dallas
facility when it was purchased in 1985.

The   Company  has  concluded  a  significant  number  of  "facility   rollover"
transactions  in  1995  and 1996 on properties that have  been  under  long-term
leases  and  mortgages.   "Facility rollover" transactions  principally  include
lease  renewals  and renegotiations, exchanges, sales of properties,  and  to  a
lesser  extent, payoffs on mortgage receivables.  In 1995, the Company completed
20  facility  rollovers  including the sale of ten  facilities  with  concurrent
"seller  financing"  for a gain of $23,550,000. During  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996, the Company completed or agreed in principle to complete  20
facility  rollovers  including  the sale of its 50  percent  interests  in  nine
facilities  and  the  exchange of the Dallas rehabilitation  hospital  discussed
above.  The 1995 facility rollovers generated an increase of $800,000  in  Funds
From  Operations  on  an annualized basis. The 1996 facility  rollovers  through
September  30, 1996, generated a decrease of $1,200,000 in Funds From Operations
on  an  annualized basis.  Through December 31, 1999, the Company  has  70  more
facilities  which  are  subject  to lease expiration,  mortgage  maturities  and
purchase  options.   The  1998 group includes 14, 10, and  five  long-term  care
facilities leased to Vencor, Beverly, and Horizon, respectively. The Company has
completed   certain  facility  rollovers  earlier  than  the   scheduled   lease
expirations  or  mortgage terms and will continue to pursue  such  opportunities
where it is advantageous to do so.

Management  believes  that the Company's liquidity and sources  of  capital  are
adequate  to  finance  its  operations as well  as  its  future  investments  in
additional facilities.

to the Bank:

          (a)     A certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of

additional Shares of the Customer or such reduction, as the case may be;

          (b)     A certified copy of the order or consent of each governmental
or regulatory authority required by law as a prerequisite to the issuance or
reduction of such Shares, as the case may be, and an opinion of counsel for the
Customer that no other order or consent is required; and

          (c)     An opinion of counsel for the Customer, in a form satisfactory
to the Bank, with respect to the validity of the Shares, the obtaining of all
necessary governmental consents, whether such Shares are fully paid and non-

order or consent of no other governmental or regulatory authority is required;
and

          (e)     An opinion of counsel for the Customer, in a form satisfactory
to the Bank, with respect to the validity of the Shares in the new form, the
obtaining of all necessary governmental consents, whether such Shares are fully
paid and non-assessable and the status of such Shares under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and any other applicable law or regulation (i.e., if
subject to registration, that the Shares have been registered and that the
Registration Statement has become effective or, if exempt, the specific grounds
therefore).

          2.     The Customer shall furnish the Bank with a sufficient supply of
blank Share certificates in the new form, and from time to time will replenish
such supply upon the request of the Bank.  Such blank Share certificates shall
be properly signed, by facsimile or otherwise, by Officers of the Customer
authorized by law or by the By-Laws to sign Share certificates and, if required,
shall bear the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof.


                             ARTICLE V
                   ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

          1.     The Bank will issue Share certificates upon receipt of a
Certificate from an Officer, but shall not be required to issue Share
certificates after it has received from an appropriate federal or state
authority written notification that the sale of Shares has been suspended or
discontinued, and the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon such written
notification.  The Bank shall not be responsible for the payment of any original
issue or other taxes required to be paid by the Customer in connection with the
issuance of any Shares.

          2.     Shares will be transferred upon presentation to the Bank of
Share certificates in form deemed by the Bank properly endorsed for transfer,
accompanied by such documents as the Bank deems necessary to evidence the
authority of the person making such transfer, and bearing satisfactory evidence
of the payment of applicable stock transfer taxes.  In the case of small estates
where no administration is contemplated, the Bank may, when furnished with an
appropriate surety bond, and without further approval of the Customer, transfer
Shares registered in the name of the decedents where the current market value of
the Shares being transferred does not exceed such amount as may from time to
time be prescribed by the various states.  The Bank reserves the right to refuse
to transfer Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsements on Share
certificates are valid and genuine, and for that purpose it may require, unless
otherwise instructed by an Officer of the Customer, a guaranty of signature by
an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Bank, which
requirements include membership or participation in STAMP or such other
"signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Bank in addition to,
or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.  The Bank also reserves the right to refuse to transfer
Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer is legally authorized,
and it shall incur no liability for the refusal in good faith to make transfers
which the Bank, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is
satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer.  The
Bank may, in effecting transfers of Shares, rely upon those provisions of the
Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security Transfers or the
Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended from time to time,
applicable to the transfer of securities, and the Customer shall indemnify the
Bank for any act done or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon such laws.


<PAGE>

          3.     All certificates representing Shares that are subject to
restrictions on transfer (i.e., securities acquired pursuant to an investment
representation, securities held by controlling person, securities subject to
stockholders' agreement, etc.), shall be stamped with a legend describing the
extent and conditions of the restrictions or referring to the source of such
restrictions.  The Bank assumes no responsibility with respect to the transfer
of restricted securities where counsel for the Customer advises that such
transfer may be properly effected.


                          ARTICLE VI
                   DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

          1.     The Customer shall furnish to the Bank a copy of a resolution
of its Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, either (i) setting forth the date of the declaration of a dividend or
distribution, the date of accrual or payment, as the case may be, the record
date as of which shareholders entitled to payment, or accrual, as the case may
be shall be determined, the amount per Share of such dividend or distribution,
the payment date on which all previously accrued and unpaid dividends are to be
paid, and the total amount, if any, payable to the Bank on such payment date, or
(ii) authorizing the declaration of dividends and distributions on a periodic
basis and authorizing the Bank to rely on a Certificate setting forth the
information described in subsection (i) of this paragraph.

          2.     Prior to the payment date specified in such Certificate or
resolution, as the case may be, the Customer shall, in the case of a cash
dividend or distribution, pay to the Bank an amount of cash, sufficient for the
Bank to make the payment, specified in such Certificate or resolution, to the
shareholders of record as of such payment date.  The Bank will, upon receipt of
any such cash, (i) in the case of shareholders who are participants in a
dividend reinvestment and/or cash purchase plan of the Customer, reinvest such
cash dividends or distributions in accordance with the terms of such plan, and
(ii) in the case of shareholders who are not participants in any such plan, make
payment of such cash dividends or distributions to the shareholders of record as
of the record date by mailing a check, payable to the registered shareholder, to
the address of record or dividend mailing address.  The Bank shall not be liable
for any improper payment made in accordance with a Certificate or resolution
described in the preceding paragraph.  If the Bank shall not receive sufficient
cash prior to the payment date to make payments of any cash dividend or
distribution pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) above to all shareholders of
the Customer as of the record date, the Bank shall, upon notifying the Customer,
withhold payment to all shareholders of the Customer as of the record date until
sufficient cash is provided to the Bank.

          3.     It is understood that the Bank shall in no way be responsible
for the determination of the rate or form of dividends or distributions due to
the shareholders.

          4.     It is understood that the Bank shall file such appropriate
information returns concerning the payment of dividends and distributions with
the proper federal, state and local authorities as are required by law to be
filed by the Customer but shall in no way be responsible for the collection or
withholding of taxes due on such dividends or distributions due to shareholders,
except and only to the extent required of it by applicable law.


                           ARTICLE VII
                     CONCERNING THE CUSTOMER

          1.     The Customer shall promptly deliver to the Bank written notice
of any change in the Officers authorized to sign Share certificates,
Certificates, notifications or requests, together with a specimen signature of
each new Officer.  In the event any Officer who shall have signed manually or
<PAGE>

whose facsimile signature shall have been affixed to blank Share certificates
shall die, resign or be removed prior to issuance of such Share certificates,
the Bank may issue such Share certificates as the Share certificates of the
Customer notwithstanding such death, resignation or removal, and the Customer
shall promptly deliver to the Bank such approvals, adoptions or ratifications as
may be required by law.

          2.     Each copy of the Charter of the Customer and copies of all
amendments thereto shall be certified by the Secretary of State (or other
appropriate official) of the state of incorporation, and if such Charter and/or
amendments are required by law also to be filed with a county or other officer
or official body, a certificate of such filing shall be filed with a certified
copy submitted to the Bank.  Each copy of the By-Laws and copies of all
amendments thereto, and copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Customer, shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Customer under the corporate seal.

          3.      Customer hereby represents and warrants:

          (a)     It is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of Maryland.

          (b)     This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered on its behalf and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Customer.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Customer do not and will not violate any applicable law or regulation and do not
require the consent of any governmental or other regulatory body except for such
consents and approvals as have been obtained and are in full force and effect.


                             ARTICLE VIII
                         CONCERNING THE BANK

          1.     The Bank shall not be liable and shall be fully protected in
acting upon any oral instruction, writing or document reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and to have been given, signed or made by the proper person or
persons and shall not be held to have any notice of any change of authority of
any person until receipt of written notice thereof from an Officer of the
Customer.  It shall also be protected in processing Share certificates which it
reasonably believes to bear the proper manual or facsimile signatures of the
duly authorized Officer or Officers of the Customer and the proper
countersignature of the Bank.

          2.     The Bank may establish such additional procedures, rules and
regulations governing the transfer or registration of Share certificates as it
may deem advisable and consistent with such rules and regulations generally
adopted by bank transfer agents.

          3.     The Bank may keep such records as it deems advisable but not
inconsistent with resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Customer.
The Bank may deliver to the Customer from time to time at its discretion, for
safekeeping or disposition by the Customer in accordance with law, such records,
papers, Share certificates which have been cancelled in transfer or exchange and
other documents accumulated in the execution of its duties hereunder as the Bank
may deem expedient, other than those which the Bank is itself required to
maintain pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, and the Customer shall
assume all responsibility for any failure thereafter to produce any record,
paper, cancelled Share certificate or other document so returned, if and when
required.  The records maintained by the Bank pursuant to this paragraph which
have not been previously delivered to the Customer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph shall be considered to be the property of the
Customer, shall be considered to be the property of the Customer, shall be made
available upon request for inspection by the Officers, employees and auditors of
the Customer, and shall be delivered to the Customer upon request and in any
<PAGE>

event upon the date of termination of this Agreement, as specified in Article IX
of this Agreement, in the form and manner kept by the Bank on such date of
termination or such earlier date as may be requested by the Customer.

          4.     The Bank may employ agents or attorneys-in-fact at the expense
of the Customer, and shall not be liable for any loss or expense arising out of,
or in connection with, the actions or omissions to act of its agents or
attorneys-in-fact, so long as the Bank acts in good faith and without negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with the selection of such agents or
attorneys-in-fact.

          5.     The Bank shall only be liable for any loss or damage arising
out of its own negligence or willful misconduct.

          6.     The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Bank from
and against any and all claims (whether with or without basis in fact or law),
costs, demands, expenses and liabilities, including reasonable attorney's fees,
which the Bank may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Bank
except for any liability which the Bank has assumed pursuant to the immediately
preceding section.  The Bank shall be deemed not to have acted with negligence
and not to have engaged in willful misconduct by reason of or as a result of any
action taken or omitted to be taken by the Bank without its own negligence or
willful misconduct in reliance upon (i) any provision of this Agreement, (ii)
any instrument, order or Share certificate reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to be signed, countersigned or executed by any duly authorized
Officer of the Customer, (iii) any Certificate or other instructions of an
Officer, (iv) any opinion of legal counsel for the Customer or the Bank, or (v)
any law, act, regulation or any interpretation of the same even though such law,
act, or regulation may thereafter have been altered, changed, amended or
repealed.  Nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way impair the right
of the Bank to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement.

          7.     Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the Customer shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Bank from and against any and all claims
(whether with or without basis in fact or law), costs, demands, expenses and
liabilities, including reasonable attorney's fees, of any and every nature which
the Bank may sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Bank in
connection with the genuineness of a Share certificate, the Bank's due
authorization by the Customer to issue Shares and the form and amount of
authorized Shares.

          8.     At any time the Bank may apply to an Officer of the Customer
for written instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with
the Bank's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and the Bank shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Bank in good faith
in accordance with such instructions.  Such application by the Bank for
instructions from an Officer of the Customer may, at the option of the Bank, set
forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the
Bank with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date
on and/or after which such action shall be taken, and the Bank shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with a proposal
included in any such application on or after the date specified therein unless,
prior to taking or omitting to take any such action, the Bank has received
written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be
taken or omitted.  The Bank may consult counsel to the Customer or its own
counsel, at the expense of the Customer, and shall be fully protected with
respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel.

<PAGE>

          9.     When mail is used for delivery of non-negotiable Share
certificates, the value of which does not exceed the limits of the Bank's
Blanket Bond, the Bank shall send such nonnegotiable Share certificates by first
class mail, and such deliveries will be covered while in transit by the Bank's
Blanket Bond.  Non-negotiable Share certificates, the value of which exceed the
limits of the Bank's Blanket Bond, will be sent by insured registered mail.
Negotiable Share certificates will be sent by insured registered mail.  The Bank
shall advise the Customer of any Share certificates returned as undeliverable
after being mailed as herein provided for.

          10.     The Bank may issue new Share certificates in place of Share
certificates represented to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon receiving
instructions in writing from an Officer and indemnity satisfactory to the Bank.
Such instructions from the Customer shall be in such form as approved by the
Board of Directors of the Customer in accordance with applicable law or the By-
Laws of the Customer governing such matters.  If the Bank receives written
notification from the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed Share certificate
within a reasonable time after he has notice of it, the Bank shall promptly
notify the Customer and shall act pursuant to written instructions signed by an
Officer.  If the Customer receives such written notification from the owner of
the lost, stolen or destroyed Share certificate within a reasonable time after
he has notice of it, the Customer shall promptly notify the Bank and the Bank
shall act pursuant to written instructions signed by an Officer.  The Bank shall
not be liable for any act done or omitted by it pursuant to the written
instructions described herein.  The Bank may issue new Share certificates in
exchange for, and upon surrender of, mutilated Share certificates.

          11.     The Bank will issue and mail subscription warrants for Shares,
Shares representing stock dividends, exchanges or splits, or act as conversion
agent upon receiving written instructions from an Officer and such other
documents as the Bank may deem necessary.

          12.     The Bank will supply shareholder lists to the Customer from
time to time upon receiving a request therefor from an Officer of the Customer.

          13.     In case of any requests or demands for the inspection of the
shareholder records of the Customer, the Bank will notify the Customer and
endeavor to secure instructions from an Officer as to such inspection.  The Bank
reserves the right, however, to exhibit the shareholder record to any person
whenever it is advised by its counsel that there is a reasonable likelihood that
the Bank will be held liable for the failure to exhibit the shareholder records
to such person.

          14.     At the request of an Officer, the Bank will address and mail
such appropriate notices to shareholders as the Customer may direct.

          15.     Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Bank shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire into, and
shall not be liable for:

          (a)     The legality of the issue, sale or transfer of any Shares, the
sufficiency of the amount to be received in connection therewith, or the
authority of the Customer to request such issuance, sale or transfer;

          (b)     The legality of the purchase of any Shares, the sufficiency of
the amount to be paid in connection therewith, or the authority of the Customer
to request such purchase;

          (c)     The legality of the declaration of any dividend by the
Customer, or the legality of the issue of any Shares in payment of any stock
dividend; or
<PAGE>
          (d)     The legality of any recapitalization or readjustment of the
Shares.

          16.     The Bank shall be entitled to receive and the Customer hereby
agrees to pay to the Bank for its performance hereunder (i) out-of-pocket
expenses (including legal expenses and attorney's fees) incurred in connection
with this Agreement and its performance hereunder, and (ii) the compensation for
services as set forth in Schedule I.

          17.     The Bank shall not be responsible for any money, whether or
not represented by any check, draft or other instrument for the payment of
money, received by it on behalf of the Customer, until the Bank actually
receives and collects such funds.

          18.     The Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever
except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against the Bank in
connection with this Agreement.

                           ARTICLE IX
                           TERMINATION

     Either of the parties hereto may terminate this Agreement by giving to the
other party a notice in writing specifying the date of such termination, which
shall be not less than 60 days after the date of receipt of such notice.  In the
event such notice is given by the Customer, it shall be accompanied by a copy of
a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Customer, certified by the
Secretary, electing to terminate this Agreement and designating a successor
transfer agent or transfer agents.  In the event such notice is given by the
Bank, the Customer shall, on or before the termination date, deliver to the Bank
a copy of a resolution of its Board of Directors certified by the Secretary
designating a successor transfer agent or transfer agents.  In the absence of
such designation by the Customer, the Bank may designate a successor transfer
agent.  If the Customer fails to designate a successor Transfer agent and if the
Bank is unable to find a successor transfer agent, the Customer shall, upon the
date specified in the notice of termination of this Agreement and delivery of
the records maintained hereunder, be deemed to be its own transfer agent and the
Bank shall thereafter be relieved of all duties and responsibilities hereunder.
Upon termination hereof, the Customer shall pay to the Bank such compensation as
may be due to the Bank for any disbursements and expenses made or incurred by
the Bank and payable or reimbursable hereunder.  Further, upon termination
hereof, the Bank shall fully cooperate with the Customer and the successor
transfer agent to effect a smooth transition of the Services to the new agent
and the Bank shall provide to the Customer and/or new agent any documents and
records reasonably requested by either.

                             ARTICLE X
                           MISCELLANEOUS

          1.     The indemnities contained herein shall be continuing
obligations of the Customer, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the

the Customer may from time to time designate in writing.

          3.     Any notice or other instrument in writing, authorized or

Bank may from time to time designate in writing.

<PAGE>

          4.     This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner
except by a written agreement duly authorized and executed by both parties.  Any
duly authorized Officer may amend any Certificate naming Officers authorized to

and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary may amend any Certificate listing
the shares of capital stock of the Customer for which the Bank performs Services
hereunder.

          5.     This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however,
that this Agreement shall not be assignable by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party, and provided, further, that any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, by the Bank shall not
be deemed to constitute an assignment of this Agreement.

          6.     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

          7.     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
each of which shall be deemed to be an original; but such counterparts,
together, shall constitute only one instrument.

the Bank and the Customer, and no rights shall be granted to any other person by
virtue of this Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their respective corporate officers, thereunto duly authorized and
their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed, as of the day and year

                   EXPENSES AND OTHER CHARGES

Out-of-Pocket Expenses

The cost of stationery and supplies, such as transfer sheets, dividend checks,
etc., together with any disbursement for telephone, postage, mail insurance
premiums, travel for annual meeting, link-up charges for ADP, tape charges from
DTC, etc. are billed in addition to the above fees.

Conversion

There is usually no charge for converting the company's files to The Bank of New
York's system with the exception of outstanding check history from the current
agent's file.  A review of the current files and formats will be made to
determine if any situation exists which will require extraordinary effort to
complete the conversion.  Any charge will be discussed with the company prior to
work commencing.

Interest

Interest of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month will be charged on all
invoices unpaid for more than 30 days.

Audit Confirmations

A charge of $50.00 per request will be made for responding to requests for audit
confirmations.

Legal Expenses

Certain legal expenses may be incurred in resolving matters not anticipated in
the normal course of business.  This may result in a separate charge to cover
our expenses in resolving such matters.

Other Services

Fees for any services not specified above, such as storing cancelled
certificates after the initial two year period, stock splits, exchanges,
tenders, solicitation mailing and coding of dividend reinvestment and ACH
accounts, etc., will be based on an appraisal of the work to be performed or on
The Bank of New York's standard fees at the time of the request.

Minimum Fee

The Bank of New York's minimum charge is $10,000 per year and will be billed at
a rate of $833.33 per month starting with our appointment date.  If at the end
of each year (12 months from appointment date) the total fees are less than the
minimum, the difference will be billed to your account.

Termination

If The Bank of New York's appointment as stock transfer agent is terminated at
any time, except in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, a
termination fee of ten percent (10%) of the previous twelve (12) months' fees,
subject to a minimum of $1,000 will be charged plus associated expenses for
lists, tapes, etc.  These charges are made to compensate for the additional time
and expense involved in re-routing certificates and correspondence sent to us
and for other related administrative and clerical duties.
