                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying financial statements include the
accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company")  and its
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have
been eliminated.  Investments in entities in which the Company has twenty to
fifty percent ownership are accounted for by the equity method.

All shares of common stock and per share amounts have been adjusted to give
retroactive effect to a three-for-two stock split distributed on December 29,
1997 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 1997,
effected in the form of a stock dividend.

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit.  The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the  information and the
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such
financial statements, have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1997 contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to
Stockholders.

Financial Instruments.  Off balance sheet derivative financial instruments as
of June 30, 1998 consist of an interest rate swap agreement used to fix
interest rates on floating rate debt.  Included on the balance sheet is a
foreign currency forward contract in Finnish Marka to hedge foreign exchange
risk on the Company's investment in its Finnish subsidiary, Oy Tamrotor Ab
("Tamrotor").  The contract is marked to market and both unrealized and
realized gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation
adjustments component of stockholders' equity.

Note 2.  Acquisitions.

On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding
stock of Tamrotor, a subsidiary of Tamrock Corporation located in Tampere,
Finland, for approximately $26.2 million.  The purchase price was allocated
to assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date
of acquisition, and resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of
$15.4 million.


                                    -6-
<PAGE> 7

On January 5, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of Geological Equipment Corporation
("Geoquip"), located in Fort Worth, Texas for approximately $12.0 million.
The purchase price was paid in cash ($1.5 million) and 430,695 shares of
Gardner Denver common stock.  The Company also paid approximately $2 million
to acquire patents, previously owned by Geoquip shareholders, for products
manufactured by Geoquip.  The purchase price was allocated to assets and
liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition
and resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $7.4 million.

On January 29, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of Champion Pneumatic Machinery
Company, Inc. ("Champion"), a subsidiary of CRL Industries, Inc., for
approximately $23.7 million.  Champion is located in Princeton, Illinois.
The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their
respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted in cost in
excess of net assets acquired of $17.8 million.

On March 9, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain agreed upon liabilities of the Wittig Division of Mannesmann
Demag A.G. for approximately $12.0 million.  Wittig is located in Schophfeim,
Germany.  The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on
their respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted in cost
in excess of net assets acquired of $2.4 million.

As a result of the stability of the product technology, markets and customers
associated with these four acquisitions, the cost in excess of net assets
acquired for each acquisition is being amortized over 40 years using the
straight-line method.

All acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method, and
accordingly, the results of operations of Tamrotor, Geoquip, Champion and
Wittig are included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations
from the dates of acquisition.  Certain estimates of fair market value of
assets received and liabilities assumed were made with adjustments to each
separate company's historical financial statements.   The estimates and
adjustments for the acquisitions of Geoquip, Champion and Wittig have not
been finalized.

Note 3.  Income Taxes.

In the first six months of 1998 and 1997, the Company paid $11.3 million and
$8.6 million, respectively, to the various taxing authorities and recognized
$10.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively, in income tax expense.

Note 5.  Long-term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements.

Long-term debt at June 30, 1998 consisted of certain notes and credit
facilities due between 2000 and 2018.  In September 1996, the Company entered
into an unsecured senior note agreement for $35 million.  This debt has a
ten-year final, seven-year average maturity with principal payments beginning
in 2000.  In January 1998, the Company refinanced its existing bank debt with
an unsecured five-year revolving loan.  The total credit line available on
the revolving loan is $125 million, of which $81 million remained available
for additional borrowings or to issue as letters of credit at June 30, 1998.
The revolving loan will mature on January 20, 2003.  On April 23, 1998, the
Fayette County Development Authority issued $9.5 million in Industrial
Revenue Bonds, on behalf of the Company, to finance the cost of constructing
and equipping the Company's new manufacturing facility in Peachtree City,
Georgia.  These variable rate bonds mature on March 1, 2018.  Maturities of
long-term debt for the five years subsequent to June 30, 1998 are $0.8
million for 1999; $0.6 million for 2000; $5.3 million for 2001; $5.1 million
for 2002; and $49.1 million for 2003.

Total interest expense during the first six months of 1998 and 1997 totaled
$2.6 and $1.9 million, respectively.  Interest paid for the first six months
of 1998 totaled $2.5 million, while the interest paid for the first six
months of 1997 was $2.0 million.

Note 6.  Earnings per share.

The 1998 and 1997 basic earnings per share for the three month period ended
June 30 were calculated based on 16,114,626 and 15,025,385 weighted average
shares outstanding, respectively.  The 1998 and 1997 basic earnings per share
for the six month period ended June 30 were calculated based on 16,034,526
and 14,934,717 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.  The 1998
and 1997 diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended June 30
were calculated based on 16,708,154 and 15,799,083 weighted average shares
outstanding.   The 1998 and 1997 diluted earnings per share for the six month
period ended June 30 were calculated based on 16,680,102 and 15,738,666
weighted average shares outstanding.

                                    -8-
<PAGE> 9

Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were adjusted for the
stock split effected on December 29, 1997.  The basic and diluted earnings
per share were calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 128 ("SFAS 128").

Note 7.  Interest Rate Swap Agreements.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a
commercial bank (the "Counter Party") outstanding, having a notional
principal amount of $15 million.  The swap provides a fixed interest rate of
6%.  The interest rate swap terminated in November 1997, but was extended for
one additional year at the option of the Counter Party.  The Company is
exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the Counter Party to
the interest rate swap agreement.  However, the Company does not anticipate
such nonperformance.

Note 8.  Comprehensive Income.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and
disclosure of comprehensive income and its components.  Effective January 1,
1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130.  For the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, comprehensive income was $17.3 million and $12.2 million,
respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
comprehensive income was $9.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively.  Items
impacting the Company's comprehensive income, but not included in net income,
consist of changes in cumulative translation adjustments and a foreign
currency hedge in 1998.  In 1997, the adjustment from net income to
comprehensive income consists solely of changes in cumulative translation
adjustments.  The net impact of these items was minimal in each  year.

Note 9.  New Accounting Standards.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  The Statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, measured at
its fair value.  The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met.  Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in
the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document,
designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting.

SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and
will be adopted at that time.  The Company has reviewed its current
derivative instruments and hedging activities and has determined that the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 would not have a material impact on its financial
statements as of June 30, 1998.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Results of Operations.

Revenues

Revenues increased $57.8 million (43%) to $193.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period of 1997.  Incremental
revenues from acquisitions completed since June 1997 contributed $42.5
million of this increase.  Excluding acquisitions, revenues increased $15.3
million (11%) over the same period of 1997.  See Note 2 to the Financial
Statements contained in this document for further information on the
Company's recent acquisitions.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues for the Compressed Air
Products segment increased $41.5 million (39%) to $148.1 million compared to
the same period of 1997.  Excluding acquisitions, which contributed $37.7
million, compressor products revenues increased $3.8 million (4%), primarily
related to growth in the U.S. economy, increased shipments of engineered
packages and penetration of niche markets such as field gas gathering.
Petroleum Products segment revenues increased $16.3 million (56%) in the six
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period of 1997.  An
acquisition contributed $4.8 million of this increase.  Excluding this
acquisition, petroleum products revenues increased $11.5 million (40%),
primarily as a result of growth in oil and gas well drilling and stimulation
over the last eighteen months.  The Company has been able to leverage its
manufacturing operations and administrative expenses, and obtain significant
price increases in the Petroleum Products segment as a result of the
increased demand for petroleum products.

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, revenues were $103.5 million,
compared to $69.4 million in the same period of 1997.  Approximately $26.5
million of this increase is attributable to incremental revenues from
acquisitions which the Company has completed since June 1997.  Excluding
incremental revenues from acquisitions, revenues increased approximately $7.6
million (11%) for the quarter, compared to the same period of 1997.

Revenues for the Compressed Air Products segment increased $23.9 million
(44%) to $78.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to $54.2
million for the same period of 1997 as a result of incremental revenues from
acquisitions.  Petroleum Products segment revenues increased 66% to $25.4
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period of
1997.  Incremental revenues from acquisitions generated $2.5 million of the
$10.1 million increase in petroleum products revenues.  The remaining
increase was primarily a result of increased drilling and stimulation
activity over the last eighteen months.

Compared to the first quarter of 1998, the Company's revenues increased $13.7
million in the three-month period ending June 30, 1998.  Petroleum Products
segment revenues increased $5.7 million (29%) in the second quarter of 1998,
compared to the first quarter of 1998, primarily due to shipments of drilling
pumps ordered in the fourth quarter of 1997.  Revenues for the

                                    -10-
<PAGE> 11
Compressed Air Products segment increased $8.0 million (12%), due primarily
to incremental revenues from acquisitions.

In general, demand for compressor products follows economic growth patterns
as indicated by the rate of change in GDP and industrial production.  In the
U.S., orders for compressor products declined somewhat in the second quarter
of 1998, compared to the same period of 1997 and to the first quarter of
1998, as a result of uncertainty concerning the economy's rate of growth.  In
Europe, demand for compressor products increased during the second quarter of
1998, as a result of improving economic conditions in this region.  Demand
for petroleum products correlates with the prices of oil and natural gas.
Future increases in demand for these products is dependent upon further
appreciation in oil and gas prices.

Costs and Expenses

Gross margins (defined as sales less cost of sales excluding depreciation and
amortization) for the six month period of 1998 increased $18.5 million (41%)
to $63.8 million from $45.3 million in the same period of 1997.  Gross margin
as a percentage of revenues decreased to 33.0% in the six month period of
1998 from 33.4% in the same period of 1997.  Excluding the effect of the
acquisitions, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 33.7%.
Increases in gross margin are primarily attributable to increased volume,
with some improvement resulting from cost reduction efforts, such as
manufacturing process improvements, and price increases for petroleum
products which were implemented in 1997.  For the second quarter of 1998, the
gross margin increased $9.7 million (41%) to $33.4 million from $23.7 million
in the same period of 1997.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues
declined to 32.2% in the three month period of 1998 from 34.1% in the same
period of 1997.  Excluding the effect of the acquisitions, gross margin as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 33.5% for the three month period of 1998.
For the three month period, the decrease in gross margin as a percentage of
revenues is primarily attributable to the Company incurring expenses related
to a plant relocation, which is planned to occur in the fourth quarter of
1998 and an unfavorable mix of shipments compared to the same period of the
previous year.

Depreciation and amortization increased  37% to $6.1 million in the first six
months of 1998, compared with $4.5 million for the same period of 1997.  For
the second quarter, depreciation and amortization increased 47% to $3.2
million, compared with $2.2 million for the same period of 1997.  The
increases in depreciation and amortization expense in both the six and three
month periods, compared to the previous year, were due to the acquisitions
and capital expenditures.  Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of
revenues was 3.2% and 3.1% for the respective three and six-month periods of
1998, which was relatively unchanged from the comparable periods of 1997.

Selling and administrative expenses increased in the first six months of 1998
by 43% to $26.7 million from $18.7 million for the same period of 1997.
Approximately $6.9 million of the $8.0 million increase is attributable to
newly acquired operations.  For the second quarter of 1998, selling and
administrative expenses increased 48% to $13.7 million from $9.3 million in
the same period of 1997, primarily due to newly acquired operations.  As a
percentage of revenues, selling

                                    -11-
<PAGE> 12
and administrative expenses were 13.3% and 13.8% for the respective three and
six-month periods of 1998, which was relatively unchanged from the comparable
periods of 1997.

As a result of the significant volume increases in petroleum product
revenues, this business segment has leveraged its fixed and semi-fixed costs
to generate improvements in operating margins (defined as revenues, less cost
of sales, depreciation and amortization, and selling and administrative
expenses excluding corporate administrative expenses).  Significant price
increases for this segment have also contributed to this improvement.  For
the second quarter of 1998, the Petroleum Products segment generated
operating margins of 24.6%, compared to 21.6% for the same period of 1997.
The Compressed Air Products segment generated operating margins of 13.7% for
the second quarter of 1998, a decline from  the 17.1% for the comparable
three month period of 1997.  This decline is primarily due to newly acquired
operations which currently generate a lower operating margin (after
amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisitions) than  does the
balance of the Company's existing operations.  Excluding the incremental
effect of acquisitions completed since June 1997 on the results of 1998, the
operating margin for compressor products would have remained flat at 17.1%.

Interest expense increased $0.7 million (34%) for the six month period of
1998 compared to the same period of 1997, due to incremental debt incurred
for the acquisitions.  The average interest rate for the six-month period of
1998 was 6.2% compared to 7.5% for the same period of 1997,  primarily due to
lower interest rates on incremental borrowings.  During the second quarter of
1998, interest expense increased $0.5 million (48%) to $1.4 million compared
to the same period in 1997 due to incremental debt incurred for acquisitions.
See Note 5 to the Financial Statements contained in this document for further
information on the Company's borrowing arrangements.

Income before income taxes improved $7.8 million (38%) for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period of 1997.  Approximately $1.7
million of this increase is attributable to the acquisitions, net of interest
expense on debt incurred to complete the acquisitions and the related
amortization of goodwill.  The remaining $6.1 million increase is primarily a
result of incremental revenues, improved gross margin and lower interest
expense (excluding debt related to acquisitions) in 1998 compared to the
previous year.  Income before income taxes improved $3.6 million (32%) for
the second quarter of 1998, compared to the same period in 1997.
Approximately $0.6 million of this increase is attributable to the
acquisitions, net of interest expense on debt incurred to complete the
acquisitions and the related amortization of goodwill.  The remaining $3.0
million increase is attributable to incremental revenues and lower interest
expense (excluding debt related to acquisitions).

Compared to 1997, the provision for income taxes increased by $2.7 million to
$10.8 million for the first six months of 1998 and by $1.2 million to $5.7
million for the second quarter of 1998, as a result of the increase in income
before taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for the first six
months of 1998, compared to 40.2% for the first six months of 1997; and 38.3%
for the second quarter of 1998, compared to 39.6% for the second quarter of
1997.  The lower effective rate in 1998 is due to the tax savings from the
Foreign Sales Corporation (the "FSC"), the lower statutory tax rate in
Finland compared to the U.S., and the implementation of other tax strategies,
partly offset by an increase in nondeductible goodwill resulting from some of
the acquisitions.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $5.1 million
(42%) to $17.3 million ($1.04 diluted earnings per share), compared to $12.1
million ($0.77 diluted earnings per share) for the same  period of 1997.
Acquisitions provided $1.1 million ($0.07 diluted earnings per share) of the
net income increase in the six month period of 1998.  The remaining $4.0
million ($0.20 diluted earnings per share) increase is a result of revenue
growth, price increases for petroleum products and leverage of manufacturing
costs and administrative expenses as volume increased.  Net income for the
second quarter of 1998 increased $2.4 million (35%) to $9.2 million ($0.55
diluted earnings per share) from $6.8 million ($0.43 diluted earnings per
share) for the same period in 1997.  Net income for the second quarter of 1998
included approximately $0.5 million ($0.03 diluted earnings per share) in
incremental income from acquisitions. Excluding the incremental income from
acquisitions, net income increased $1.9 million (28%) for the quarter, a $0.09
diluted earnings per share improvement, for the reasons discussed previously.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Working Capital

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, operating working capital (defined
as receivables plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued
liabilities) increased $27.0 million to $79.2 million, with the acquisitions
causing $12.9 million of this increase.  The remaining increase in operating
working capital was due to an increase in inventory and receivables.
Receivables increased $24.2 million since the end of 1997, of which $12.1
million was due to acquisitions.  The remaining increase in receivables was
due to higher revenues in 1998 compared to 1997, the timing of the sales
within the second quarter of 1998, and a delay in payments by a key customer
which should be resolved prior to December 31, 1998.

Inventories increased $14.3 million to $62.6 million at June 30, 1998,
compared to December 31, 1997.  The acquisitions generated $13.0 million of
this increase.  The remaining increase in inventories was due to longer lead
times on purchased material requiring higher levels of safety stock.  The
$11.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is
primarily attributable to the acquisitions.

Cash Flows

During the six months of 1998, the Company generated cash flows from
operations totaling $10.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million (11%) compared
to the same period in 1997.  This  decrease was primarily the result of the
increase in receivables, as discussed previously.  The increase in
receivables and inventories was partially offset by higher net income. During
this six month period, the Company borrowed $18.0 million under a new
revolving credit facility and utilized the funds to repay all outstanding
commitments under its previous credit facility.  The Company also borrowed
$40.0 million to finance the purchase of acquisitions, and issued  $10.5
million of stock to fund the balance of the purchase price for Geoquip.  In
April of 1998, the Fayette County Development Authority issued $9.5 million
in Industrial Revenue Bonds on the Company's behalf to finance the
construction of the Peachtree City, Georgia facility, as discussed below.
The remaining cash flows enabled the Company to expend $6.3 million on
capital expenditures and

                                    -13-
<PAGE> 14
repay $28.9 million of long-term debt, resulting in an increase in the cash
balance of $2.7 million as of June 30, 1998.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

Capital projects to increase operating efficiency and flexibility, expand
production capacity and product quality resulted in expenditures of $6.3
million in the first six months of 1998.  This was $3.8 million higher than
the level of  capital expenditures in the comparable period in 1997.  Most of
the increase was due to expenditures made for production equipment and
construction of the new manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, Georgia.
Commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1998 totaled $11.3 million.
Management expects additional capital authorizations to be committed during the
remainder of the year and that capital expenditures for 1998 will approximate
$18 to $21 million, primarily due to the construction of the new facility in
Georgia, expenditures made at newly acquired facilities and expenditures for
capacity expansion and cost reductions at other operations.

In 1997 the Company announced that it will close its blower manufacturing
plant in Syracuse, New York, and consolidate operations at its new site in
Georgia.  The new plant should be operating by the fourth quarter of 1998, at
which time the Syracuse plant will be shut down.  The Company expects to
spend approximately $7.0 million in capital for the facility.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the
Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could
result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or statements, perform material requirements
planning or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company believes the 1997 implementation of its integrated management
information system addresses the Year 2000 Issue for the programs replaced
with the new system.  The Company has completed its assessment of the impact
of the Year 2000 Issue on other parts of its business, including embedded
systems not involving information technology.  The Company expects to
implement the remaining upgrades necessary to address the Year 2000 Issue by
the first quarter of 1999 without a material impact on the results of
operations.  These upgrades include significant enhancements other than
addressing the Year 2000 Issue.

The Company is communicating with its significant suppliers and large
customers to determine the extent to which the Company would be vulnerable to
those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Issue.  The
Company also plans to perform on-site review of critical suppliers and is
considering contingency plans, if needed.  The success of the Company's
suppliers and customers in remediating their respective Year 2000 Issue is
not within the Company's control,

                                    -14-
<PAGE> 15
but the Company does not currently expect that its operations will be
materially impacted by the Year 2000 Issue due to its suppliers or customers.

Section 7.01 Amendment of By-laws.  In furtherance and not in limitation

of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly
authorized to make, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                  Indemnification and Limitation of Liability
                  -------------------------------------------

Section 8.01 Limitation of Liability.  No director of the Corporation
             -----------------------
shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that the
foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director
(i) for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or
its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Title 8, Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any
transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. If
the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is amended to authorize the
further elimination or limitation on personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Corporation, in

                                    -4-
<PAGE> 5
addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General
Corporation Law.

Section 8.02 Indemnification. Any person who was or is made a party or is
             ---------------
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(including an action by or in the right of the Corporation) (hereinafter a
"proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director or officer
of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the
case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits
the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) that was initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 8.02
shall be a contract right.

For purposes of this Section 8.02, reference to "the Corporation" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors and officers so that
any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position
under the provisions of this Section 8.02, with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 8.03 Payment of Expenses in Advance.  Expenses (including
             ------------------------------
attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending an action, suit
or proceeding referred to in Section 8.02 above may be paid by the Corporation
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as
authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an
undertaking by or an behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount
unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in Section 8.02.

Section 8.04 Indemnification Not Exclusive.  The indemnification provided
             -----------------------------
under Section 8.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of (i) any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, any
agreement, any insurance purchased by the Corporation, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office or (ii) the power of the Corporation to indemnify any person who is or
was an employee or agent of the Corporation or of another corporation, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise that he or she is serving or has

                                    -5-
<PAGE> 6
served at the request of the Corporation, to the same extent and in the same
situations and subject to the same determinations with respect to directors and
officers. The indemnification provided by Section 8.02 shall continue as to
any person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Section 8.05 Other. Any repeal or modification of this Article VIII by the
             -----
stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not
adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of
the Corporation or the Indemnification of any officer or director of the
Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

be specified by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of
the voting power of all of the securities of the Corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class,
shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V and VI hereof.

whichever occurs first. Each notice shall set forth (i) the name and address

each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be included
in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and

nominated, by the Board of Directors, and shall include a consent signed by
each such nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected.
The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any
person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have
given notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation either by
personal delivery or by United States registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the

stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by the
stockholder and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such
business. In the event that a stockholder attempts to bring business before
an annual meeting without complying with the foregoing procedure, the
chairman of the meeting may declare to the meeting that the business was not
properly brought before the meeting and, if he shall so declare, such
business shall not be transacted.
