     6.   Insurance.

          The Agent now has the insurance coverage described in Exhibit C,

notice to the Company, may eliminate or decrease any coverage if the premiums
for such coverage are substantially increased.

     7.   Standard of Care; Indemnification.

          The Agent will at all times exercise due diligence and good faith in
performing its duties hereunder.  The Agent will make every reasonable effort
and take all reasonably available measures to assure the adequacy of its
personnel and facilities as well as the accurate performance of all services to
be performed by it hereunder within, at a minimum, the time requirements of any
applicable statutes, rules or regulations or as set forth in the prospectus.

          The Agent shall not be responsible for, and the Company agrees to
indemnify the Agent for any losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) (i) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit
not resulting from the Agent's failure to exercise good faith or due diligence
and arising out of or in connection with the Agent's duties on behalf of the
Company hereunder; (ii) for any delay, error or omission by reason of
circumstances beyond its control, including acts of civil or military authority,
national emergencies, labor difficulties (except with respect to the Agent's
employees), fire, mechanical breakdown beyond its control, flood or catastrophe,
acts of God, insurrection, war, riots, or failure beyond its control of
transportation, communication or power supply; or (iii) for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Agent in good faith in reliance on (a) the
authenticity of any instrument or communication reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been properly made and signed or endorsed by an appropriate
person, (b) the accuracy of any records or information provided to it by the
Company, (c) any authorization or instruction contained in any officers'
instruction, or (d) with respect to the functions performed for the Company
listed under Paragraph 3(1) of this Agreement, any advice of counsel approved by
the Company who may be internally employed counsel or outside counsel, in either
case for the Company and/or the Agent.

          In order for the rights to indemnification to apply, it is understood
that if in any case the Company may be asked to indemnify or hold the Agent
harmless, the Company shall be advised of all pertinent facts concerning the
situation in question, and it is further understood that the Agent will use
reasonable care to identify and notify the Company promptly concerning any
situation which presents or appears likely to present a claim for
indemnification against the Company.  The Company shall have the option to
defend the Agent against any claim which may be the subject of this
indemnification and, in the event that the Company so elects, it will so notify
the Agent and thereupon the Company shall take over complete defense of the
claim and the Agent shall sustain no further legal or other expenses in such
situation for which the Agent shall seek indemnification under this paragraph.
The Agent will in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case
in which the Company will be asked to indemnify the Agent except with the
Company's prior written consent.

performed under the Agreement, the Agreement as amended, new agreement or
agreement to be continued, are services required for the operation of the
Company; (iii) the Agent can provide services the nature and quality of which

light of the usual and customary charges made by others for services of the same
nature and quality.

penalty upon giving the Company 120 days' written notice (which notice may be
waived by the Company) and may be terminated by the Company at any time without
penalty upon giving the Agent sixty (60) days' written notice (which notice may
be waived by the Agent), provided that such termination by the Company shall be
directed or approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Company in office at the time or by the vote of the holders of a majority (as
defined in or under the Act) of the outstanding shares of the Company.

          (2)  On termination, the Agent will deliver to the Company or its
designee all files, documents and records of the Company used, kept or
maintained by the Agent in the performance of its services hereunder, including
such of the Company's records in machine readable form as may be maintained by
the Agent, as well as such summary and/or control data relating thereto used by
or available to the Agent.

          (3)  In the event of any termination which involves the appointment of

own behalf, the Company shall have the non-exclusive right to the use of the
data processing programs used by the Agent in connection with the performance of
its duties under this Agreement without charge.

          (4)  In addition, on such termination or in preparation therefore, at
the request of the Company and at the Company's expense the Agent shall provide
