Item 17. Undertakings

   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of LXN pursuant
to provisions described in Item 14 or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person

                                      II-3
<PAGE>

of LXN 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, we 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
  13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
  an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
  Exchange 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.

     (2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
  this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
  form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
  (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (3) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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
