PROSPECTUS
MEDIA LOGIC, INC.
1,907,626 Shares of Common Stock
(Par Value $.01 Per Share)
The 1,907,626 shares of Common Stock of Media Logic, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Company"), offered hereby are being sold by the selling
stockholders identified herein (the "Selling Stockholders"). Such offers and
sales may be made on the American Stock Exchange, or otherwise, at prices and
on terms then prevailing, or at prices related to the then-current market
price, or in negotiated transactions, or by underwriters pursuant to an
underwriting agreement in customary form, or in a combination of any such
methods of sale. The Selling Stockholders may also sell such shares in
accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). The Selling Stockholders are identified and certain information
with respect to the Selling Stockholders is provided under the caption "Selling
Stockholders" herein, to which reference is made. The expenses of the
registration of the securities offered hereby, including fees of counsel for
the Company, will be paid by the Company. The following expenses will be borne
by the Selling Stockholders: underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any, and the fees of legal counsel, if any, for the Selling Stockholders,
except that the Company has agreed to pay the fees and expenses of one counsel
to the Selling Stockholders, not to exceed $5,000, in connection with the
registration of the shares offered herein. The filing by the Company of this
Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of Form S-3 is not an admission
that the person whose shares are included herein is an "affiliate" of the
Company.
The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company that they have not engaged
any person as an underwriter or selling agent for any of such shares, but they
may in the future elect to do so, and they will be responsible for paying such a
person or persons customary compensation for so acting. The Selling Stockholders
and any broker executing selling orders on behalf of any Selling Stockholder may
be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the 1933 Act, in which
event commissions received by any such broker may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions under the 1933 Act. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale of the securities offered hereby. The Common Stock is listed on
the American Stock Exchange under the symbol TST. On June 17, 1997, the closing
sale price of the Common Stock, as reported by the American Stock Exchange, was
$2.50 per share.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the shares being offered by this Prospectus involves a
high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this
Prospectus or incorporated herein by reference, prospective investors should
carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing the shares
offered hereby. This Prospectus contains and incorporates by reference
forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are based on management's
current expectations. To the extent that any of the statements contained
herein relating to the Company's products and its operations are forward
looking, such statements are based on management's current expectations and
involve a number of uncertainties and risks.
Reference is also made in particular to the discussion set forth under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Description of Business" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, incorporated into this
Prospectus by reference. Both the forward-looking statements contained in
this Prospectus and those incorporated herein by reference are based on
current expectations that involve a number of uncertainties including those
set forth in the risk factors below. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
SHIFT IN BUSINESS FOCUS. While, in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, the
Company still derived most of its revenue from sales of its certifiers,
evaluators and duplicators for floppy disks and tape, the Company has shifted
its focus to its automated tape libraries for the data storage market. In
fiscal year 1996, the Company sold only pre-production units of its automated
data library ("ADL") products. The Company first commenced sales of its
production units of ADL products, other than evaluation units, in the second
quarter of fiscal year 1997 and therefore has limited experience in selling
its ADL products. The Company expects to derive a substantial majority of its
total revenue and net income from sales of its ADL products in the future.
Continued growth of the Company's ADL business will depend upon several
factors, including demand for these libraries, the Company's ability to
develop new products to meet the changing requirements of its customers,
technological change and competitive pressures. There can be no assurance
that the Company's ADL business will take hold and grow.
COMPETITION. Competition in the data storage market, including the
automated tape library market, is intense, with a large number of companies
in these markets. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors
have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed
customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources than the Company. As a result, they may be able to adapt more
quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements,
or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products
than the Company. An increase in competition could result in price reductions
and loss of market share. Such competition and any resulting reduction in
gross margins could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. The
computer industry in general, and the markets for the Company's automated
tape library products in particular, are characterized by rapidly changing
technology, frequent new product introductions, and significant competition.
In order to keep pace with this rapidly changing market environment, the
Company must continually develop and incorporate into its products new
technological advances and features desired by the marketplace at acceptable
prices. The successful development and commercialization of new products
involves many risks, including the identification of new product
opportunities, timely completion of the development process, the control and
recoupment of development and production costs and acceptance by customers of
the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in identifying, developing, manufacturing and marketing new
products in a timely and cost effective manner, that products or technologies
developed by others will not render the Company's products or technologies
uncompetitive, or that the Company's products will be accepted in the
marketplace.
4
<PAGE>
PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. The Company's ability to compete
effectively with other companies will depend, in part, on the ability of the
Company to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology. There can be no
assurance that competitors in both the United States and foreign countries,
many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial
investments in competing technologies, do not have or will not obtain patents
that will prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's ability to make and
sell its products or intentionally infringe the Company's patents. While the
Company possesses or licenses certain patent rights, it relies in large part
on unpatented proprietary technology, and there can be no assurance that
others may not independently develop the same or similar technology, whether
or not patented, or otherwise obtain access to the Company's proprietary
technology.
CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY. The computer industry is
highly cyclical and has historically experienced periodic downturns. The
cyclical nature of the computer industry is beyond the control of the
Company. As an example, the Company experienced a substantial reduction in
demand for its original product line (floppy disk certification, testing and
duplication equipment). A similar decrease in demand for products in the
category of its new products (automated tape libraries) could materially
adversely affect its business and products.
UNCERTAINTIES RELATED TO COMPANY'S ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL NECESSARY
CAPITAL. The Company has spent and expects to continue to spend substantial
funds for continuation of the research and development of product candidates
and will also require additional funds in order to manufacture, market and
sell its products. In March 1997, the Company completed a private placement
of convertible debentures (the "Private Placement") which resulted in
approximately $3,530,000 in gross proceeds to the Company. However, because
of its continuing losses from operations, the Company anticipates that unless
revenues increase significantly, it will require additional capital in order
to continue its operations. See "--Recent Losses." The Company has no
assurance that it will be able to raise such additional capital, if needed,
in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable
to increase revenues significantly and/or secure additional financing, the
Company could be forced to curtail or discontinue its operations.
RECENT LOSSES. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the Company
incurred a loss of $4,122,288 on revenues of $3,644,478 and for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1996, the Company incurred a loss of $7,818,819 on
revenues of $3,578,236. These recent losses are primarily the result of a
decline in the revenues generated in the Company's traditional markets during
a period when the Company was making a large investment in its ADL
technology. The Company believes that the trends that resulted in its losses
could continue for the foreseeable future.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company's success depends to a
significant extent on the performance of its senior management, including its
Chief Executive Officer and President, William E. Davis, Jr., its Vice
President of Sales, B. Edward Fitzgibbons, its Director of Engineering, James
Hackathorn, and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Paul M.
O'Brien. Competition for highly skilled employees with technical, management
and other specialized training is intense in the computer industry. The
Company's failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the
services of key personnel could materially adversely affect the Company's
business.
VOLATILITY OF SHARE PRICE. Market prices for securities of technology
companies have been volatile. The market price for the Company's Common Stock
has fluctuated significantly since public trading commenced in 1987, and it
is likely that the market price will continue to fluctuate in the future.
Quarterly fluctuations in operating results, announcements by the Company or
the Company's present or potential competitors, technological innovations or
new commercial products or services, developments or disputes concerning
patent or proprietary rights and other events or factors may have a
significant impact on the Company's business and on the market price of the
Common Stock.
CONTROL BY EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS. The directors, officers
and principal stockholders of the Company and certain of their affiliates
and/or family members beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 51.9%
of the Company's Common Stock (including shares issuable upon exercise of
options held by such persons, which options are currently exercisable, shares
issuable upon exercise of warrants held by such persons, which warrants are
currently exercisable and shares issuable upon conversion of debentures held
by such persons at the assumed conversion price of $1.98, which debentures
will be convertible within 60 days of the date of this Prospectus). As a
result of such ownership, these stockholders will exert influence over all
matters requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company, including the
election of directors. One shareholder, Raymond Leclerc, has a contractual
right to Board representation.
Certain Charter and By-Law Provisions and Massachusetts Laws May Affect
Stock Price. The Company's Restated Articles of Organization and By-laws
contain provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire control of, or discourage acquisition bids for, the Company. In
addition, certain Massachusetts laws contain provisions that may have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of,
or discourage acquisition bids for, the Company. These provisions could limit
the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of Common Stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Sales of substantial amounts of Common
Stock in the public market could have an adverse effect on the price of the
Company's Common Stock. Approximately 3,818,263 shares of Common Stock are
currently freely tradable on the open market. In addition, approximately
2,502,646 shares are eligible for sale
5
<PAGE>
pursuant to Rule 701 or Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. Also, there were a total of
604,088 options to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of May 5, 1997
pursuant to the Company's stock option plans, and 333,787 of such options
were vested and can be exercised at any time prior to their respective
expiration dates. As of May 5, 1997, 151,016 shares of Common Stock were
issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to Rochon Capital Group, Ltd.
("Rochon") in connection with the Private Placement and 900,000 shares of
Common Stock were issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to Adar Equities
LLC ("Adar") in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to their
respective warrant agreements with the Company, each of Rochon and Adar has a
right, commencing March 24, 1998 and ending 4 years thereafter, to demand
registration under the 1933 Act by the Company of the shares underlying the
warrants or to include the shares underlying the warrants in certain
registrations filed by the Company under the 1933 Act. Under certain
circumstances, Rochon and Adar may demand registration under the 1933 Act by
the Company of the shares underlying the warrants prior to March 24, 1998,
provided they agree to pay a pro rata share of the expenses of such
registration. Additionally, as of May 5, 1997, 240,000 shares of Common Stock
were issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to ACFS Limited Partnership
("ACFS") in connection with the Private Placement and 410,870 shares of
Common Stock were issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to Digital Media
& Communications L.P. ("Digital Media") in connection with the Private
Placement. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register under
the 1933 Act the shares underlying the warrants issued to ACFS and Digital
Media no later than September 22, 1997. In September 1995, the Company issued
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Raymond W. Leclerc in a private
placement. Mr. Leclerc has the right under an agreement with the Company to
include his shares in certain registrations filed by the Company under the
1933 Act, such right which he has waived in connection with the registration
statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Also, Lee H. Elizer, the former
Chief Executive Officer and President of by MediaLogic ADL, is entitled to
receive 7,000 shares of Common Stock in October 1997 and 8,000 shares of
Common Stock in October 1998, which, under the terms of his separation
agreement with the Company, are expected to be registered under the 1933 Act
following their issuance.
The Shares offered hereby are issuable upon conversion of $3,530,000
aggregate principal amount 7% convertible subordinated debentures, due 2000
(the "Debentures"), and interest thereon, issued by the Company to the
Selling Stockholders in the Private Placement. The principal amount of the
Debentures is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock based on
a predetermined formula at any time beginning on the earlier of (i) the date
on which the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is
declared effective or (ii) the 91st calendar date after the date of issuance
of the Debentures, or June 23, 1997. The price at which the Debentures will
convert will be the lower of (i) $2.805, which amount is 120% of the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock as calculated over the five trading-day
period ending on March 21, 1997 (the "Closing Date Price") and (ii) 80% of
the average closing bid price of the Common Stock as calculated over the five
trading-day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date
of conversion (the "Conversion Date Price"). Each individual $10,000
principal amount Debenture may be converted only in its entirety. The
Debentures bear interest at the rate of 7% per year. Interest is payable only
upon conversion of the Debentures and, at the Company's option, is payable
either in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock based on the
average closing sale price of the Common Stock as calculated over the five
trading-day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date
of conversion.
The Company has agreed to register for resale from time to time by the
purchasers thereof the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures. All
of the shares registered for resale by the holders thereof, including the
shares offered hereby, may be reoffered and resold in the public trading
market from time to time during the period the Company has agreed to maintain
the effectiveness of the registration statement registering those shares.
Pursuant to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
the Company has registered 3,565,656 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon
conversion of the Debentures. The Company has registered this number of
shares to insure that there would be a sufficient number of registered shares
in the event that the market price for the Company's Common Stock declines
substantially. The 3,565,656 shares registered represents the approximate
number of shares which would be issuable upon conversion of the Debentures
(excluding shares issuable upon conversion of accrued interest) if the
Conversion Date Price were $0.99 per share. An aggregate of 1,907,626 shares
are offered hereby, which number is an estimate of the number of shares
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures based on an assumed Conversion
Date Price of $1.98 per share (80% of the average of the closing bid prices
of the Common Stock on the five trading days ended May 14, 1997, as reported
on the American Stock Exchange), and assuming approximately 124,798 shares
would be issuable upon conversion of approximately one year's accrued
interest of $247,100. In the event the actual Conversion Date Price is less
than $1.98, more than 1,907,626 shares will be issuable upon conversion of
the principal amount of the Debentures (including shares issuable upon
conversion of accrued interest) and the Company would be required to amend
this Prospectus to increase the number of shares offered hereby accordingly.
If the Debentures become convertible into more than 3,565,656 shares, the
Company will be obligated to register additional shares of Common Stock.
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid dividends since its
inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable
future.
6
<PAGE>
DILUTION. Dilution is likely to occur upon conversion of the Debentures
and also upon the exercise of existing stock options and warrants. The
Debentures can be converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock at any
time beginning on the earlier of (i) the date on which the registration
statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective or (ii)
the 91st calendar date after the date of issuance of the Debentures, or June
23, 1997. See "--Shares Eligible For Future Sale."

THE COMPANY
Media Logic, Inc. was incorporated in 1982 to develop and manufacture
certification equipment to be used by manufacturers of flexible storage media
such as floppy disks. The Company's principal product line is automated tape
library systems for data storage and retrieval, which was introduced in fiscal
year 1996.
The Company's data storage libraries have been developed by MediaLogic ADL,
Inc. ("MediaLogic ADL"), a subsidiary of the Company which was established in
1994 to develop, market and sell automated data storage libraries. In fiscal
year 1997, MediaLogic ADL introduced automated tape libraries in 4mm and 8mm
tape technologies and expects to introduce in fiscal year 1998, automated tape
libraries with digital linear tape ("DLT") technology. Tape drives from a number
of manufacturers are supported by the libraries as are system management and
software configurations from a variety of vendors. In fiscal 1996, the Company
sold only pre-production units, and began delivering production units in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997. Potential customers for the ADL line of automated
tape libraries are data dependent companies in all types of businesses.
The certification, test and duplication product line, representing the
Company's historical products, but which is not expected to be the basis for the
bulk of the Company's future business, includes: (1) certifiers which are used
by computer disk manufacturers to test each disk as it is manufactured and to
sort disks into three industry established quality categories, (2) tape
certification and evaluation equipment used by manufacturers and suppliers of
magnetic tapes, to evaluate and qualify the quality of the tapes, and (3) floppy
disk duplication equipment utilizing industrial disk drives which have been
developed by the Company for use by software publishers and duplicators.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 310 South
Street, Plainville, Massachusetts 02762, and the Company's telephone number is
(508) 695-2006.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders are issuable upon
conversion of the Company's 7% convertible subordinated debentures, due 2000
(the "Debentures"), issued to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement
(the "Private Placement") pursuant to subscription agreements between each of
the Selling Stockholders and the Company (the form of which Debentures and
subscription agreements have been filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2,
respectively, to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a
part). The number of shares offered hereby represents the number of shares
issuable as of the date of this Prospectus, assuming that one year's interest
of approximately $247,100 has accrued under the Debentures. The number of
shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures will increase if the market
price for the Company's Common Stock decreases. In addition, the number of
shares issuable upon conversion of accrued interest under the Debentures will
change if the Debentures are held for more or less than one year. The Company
has registered the resale of 3,565,656 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. See "Risk Factors
- -- Shares Eligible For Future Sale."
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial
ownership of the Company's Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders as of May 5,
1997, as adjusted to reflect the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby by each
Selling Stockholder.

will be the lower of (i) $2.805, which amount is 120% of the average closing
bid price of the Common Stock as calculated over the five trading-day period
ending on March 21, 1997 (the "Closing Date Price") and (ii) 80% of the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock as calculated over the five
trading-day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date

owned by ONE & CO. However, Kenneth S. Safe, Jr. and John K. Spring disclaim
beneficial ownership with respect to portfolio securities owned by ONE & CO
to the extent that such beneficial ownership exceeds their pecuniary
interest therein.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The 1,907,626 shares of Common Stock of the Company offered hereby may be
offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees,
donees, transferees or other successors in interest. The Selling Stockholders
will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the
timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on the American
Stock Exchange or otherwise, at prices related to the then current market price
or in negotiated transactions, including pursuant to an underwritten offering or
one or more of the following methods: (a) purchases by a broker-dealer as
principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this
Prospectus; (b) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a
broker solicits purchasers; and (c) block trades in which a broker-dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction. In effecting
sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for
other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders or from the purchasers in
amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The Selling Stockholders
may also sell such shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
The Company has agreed to use diligent efforts to maintain the effectiveness
of the registration of the shares being offered hereunder until March 24, 1999
(two years after the closing date of the Private Placement) or such shorter
period which will terminate when all shares of Common Stock underlying the
Debentures either (i) have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and
disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, (ii) are eligible
for distribution to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (iii)
are eligible for distribution to the public by the holders thereof pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act.
The Selling Stockholders and any brokers participating in such sales may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the 1933 Act. There can be no
assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereunder.
All proceeds from any such sales will be the property of the Selling
Stockholders who will bear the expense of underwriting discounts and selling
commissions, if any, and the Selling Stockholders' own legal fees, if any,
except that the Company has agreed to pay the fees and expenses of one counsel
to the Selling Stockholders, not to exceed $5,000.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Article VI.A of the Company's Restated Articles of Organization provides
that no Director of the Company shall be personally liable to the corporation or
to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty
by such Director as a Director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing
such liability; provided, however, that, to the extent required from time to
time by applicable law, Article VI.A shall not eliminate the liability of a
Director, to the extent such liability is provided by applicable law, (a) for
any breach of a Director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 61 or
Section 62 of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
or (d) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal
benefit. No amendment to or repeal of Article VI.A shall apply to or have any
effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Director for or with respect
to any acts or omissions of such Director occurring prior to the effective date
of such amendment or repeal.
In addition, the Company's By-Laws provide as follows:
Article First, Section 12. Indemnity. (a) The Corporation shall
indemnify and reimburse out of the corporate funds any person (or the
personal representative of any person) who at any time serves or shall have
served as a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or as a
Director, officer or employee of another Corporation the majority of the
stock of which is owned by the Corporation, whether or not in office at the
time, against and for any and all claims and liabilities to which he may be
or become subject by reason of such service, and against and for any and all
expenses necessarily incurred in connection with the defense or reasonable
settlement of any legal or administrative proceedings to which he is made a
party by reason of such service, except in relation to matters as to which
he shall be finally adjudged not to have acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the
Corporation or to the extent that such matter relates to service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. In effecting
such indemnity and reimbursement, the stockholders may enter into such
agreements and direct the officers of the Corporation to make such payment
or payments and take such other action (including employment of counsel to
defend against such claims and liabilities) as may in their judgment be
reasonably necessary or desirable. Such indemnification or reimbursement
shall not be deemed to exclude any other rights or privileges to which such
person may be entitled.
(b) The Board of Directors may by vote act to indemnify any or all
officers of the Corporation from liability for acts done by them in good
faith on behalf of the Corporation.
(c) The Directors may vote to defray the expense of defending any claims
brought against one or more Directors or other Officers on account of any
action purported to have been done in any official capacity, and may vote to
reimburse any such Director or other Officer for any sum paid by him to
settle any such claim; provided that if it shall be finally determined by
judgment or decree of any court that any such Director or other Officer is
personally liable on account of any such claim, he shall reimburse the
Company for his pro rata share of any expense so defrayed or reimbursement
so made by the Company.
(d) To the extent legally permissible, the Corporation shall indemnify
each of its Directors and Officers against all liabilities including
expenses imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with any
action, suit or other proceeding in which he may be involved or with which
he may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of his acts
or omissions as such Director or Officer, unless in such proceeding he shall
be finally adjudged liable by reason of dereliction in
II-1
<PAGE>
the performance of his duty as such Director or Officer; provided,
however, that such indemnification shall not cover liabilities in
connection with any matter which shall be disposed of through a
compromise payment by such Director or Officer, pursuant to a consent
decree or otherwise, unless such compromise shall be approved as in the
best interests of the Corporation, after notice that it involves such
indemnification, by a vote of the Board of Directors in which no
interested Director participates, or by a vote or the written approval
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock at the time having
the right to vote for Directors, not counting as outstanding any stock
owned by any interested Director or Officer. The rights of
indemnification hereby provided shall not be exclusive of or affect any
other rights to which any Director or Officer may be entitled. As used
in this paragraph, the terms "Director" and "Officer" include their
respective heirs, executors and administrators, and an "interested"
Director or Officer is one against whom as such the proceedings in
question or another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then
pending.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
A. Rule 415 Offering
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
1933 Act;
(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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the
II-2
<PAGE>
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective 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;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (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 with or furnished to the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act,
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. Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement 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.
C. Request for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration
Statement on Form S-8
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
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 Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
