  POLICY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE EFFECTED
    WITH ASSOCIATED ELECTRIC & GAS INSURANCE SERVICES LIMITED
                        HAMILTON, BERMUDA
             (hereinafter referred to the "POLICY")

         THIS IS A "CLAIMS-FIRST-MADE" INSURANCE POLICY.
                    PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

      Words and phrases which appear in all capital letters
             have the special meanings set forth in
                    Section II - Definitions.

In consideration of the payment of premium, and in reliance upon all
statements made and information furnished to Associated Electric & Gas
Insurance Services Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "INSURER") by
the Application attached hereto which is hereby made a part hereof, and
subject to all the terms hereinafter provided, the INSURER agrees as
follows:

I.   INSURING AGREEMENT

     (A)  Indemnity

          (1)  The INSURER shall pay on behalf of the DIRECTORS and
               OFFICERS any and all sums which they shall become
               legally obligated to pay as ULTIMATE NET LOSS for which
               the COMPANY has not provided reimbursement, by reason
               of any WRONGFUL ACT which takes place during the
               COVERAGE PERIOD and is actually or allegedly caused,
               committed or attempted by the DIRECTORS or OFFICERS
               while acting in their respective capacities as
               DIRECTORS or OFFICERS, provided such ULTIMATE NET LOSS
               arises from a CLAIM first made against the DIRECTORS or
               OFFICERS during the POLICY PERIOD or during the
               DISCOVERY PERIOD, if purchased.

          (2)  The INSURER shall indemnify the COMPANY for any and all
               sums required to reimburse it for ULTIMATE NET LOSS it
               has occurred, as required or permitted by applicable
               common or statutory law or under provisions of the
               COMPANY'S Charter or Bylaws effected pursuant to such
               law, to indemnify DIRECTORS or OFFICERS for ULTIMATE
               NET LOSS which they are legally obligated to pay by
               reason of any WRONGFUL ACT which takes place during the
               COVERAGE PERIOD and is actually or allegedly caused,
               committed or attempted by such DIRECTORS or OFFICERS
               while acting in their respective capacities as
               DIRECTORS or OFFICERS, provided the ULTIMATE NET LOSS
               arises from a CLAIM first made against the DIRECTORS or
               OFFICERS during the POLICY PERIOD or during the
               DISCOVERY PERIOD, if purchased.

     (B)  Limits of Liability

          (1)  The INSURER shall only be liable hereunder for the
               amount of ULTIMATE NET LOSS in excess of the UNDERLYING
               LIMITS as stated in Item 6 of the Declarations as a
               result of each WRONGFUL ACT covered under Insuring
               Agreement I(A)(1) or I(A)(2) or both, and then only up
               to the Limit of Liability stated in Item 5A of the
               Declarations and further subject to the aggregate Limit
               of Liability stated in Item 5B of the Declarations as
               the maximum amount payable hereunder in the aggregate
               for all CLAIMS first made against the DIRECTORS or
               OFFICERS during both:

<PAGE>
               (a)  the POLICY PERIOD and

               (b)  the DISCOVERY PERIOD, if purchased.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
               INSURER cancels or refuses to renew this POLICY, and a
               DISCOVERY PERIOD extension is purchased by the COMPANY,
               then the aggregate Limit of Liability stated in Item 5B
               of the Declarations shall be reinstated but only with
               respect to CLAIMS first made against the DIRECTORS or
               OFFICERS during such DISCOVERY PERIOD.
          
          (2)  Multiple CLAIMS arising out of the same WRONGFUL ACT,
               even if made against different DIRECTORS or OFFICERS,
               shall be deemed to be a single CLAIM arising from a
               single WRONGFUL ACT and to have been reported during
               the POLICY PERIOD or, if purchased, during the
               DISCOVERY PERIOD in which the first of such multiple
               CLAIMS is made against any of the DIRECTORS or
               OFFICERS.  The Limits of Liability and UNDERLYING
               LIMITS, stated in Items 5 and 6 of the Declarations
               respectively, shall apply only once regardless of the
               number of CLAIMS arising out of the same WRONGFUL ACT. 
               All interrelated acts shall be deemed to be a single
               WRONGFUL ACT.

          (3)  The inclusion herein of more than one DIRECTOR or
               OFFICER, or the application of both Insuring Agreements
               I(A)(1) and I(A)(2), shall not operate to increase the
               INSURER'S Limits of Liability as stated in Item 5 of
               the Declarations.

          (4)  With respect to ULTIMATE NET LOSS arising out of any
               WRONGFUL ACT in connection with service for a NOT-FOR-
               PROFIT ORGANIZATION as provided in Section II(E)(2),
               if:

               (a)  such WRONGFUL ACT results in liability being
                    imposed upon one or more DIRECTORS and OFFICERS
                    under this POLICY and also upon directors and
                    officers and general partners under any other
                    directors and officers or general partner
                    liability insurance policies issued by the
                    INSURER to any organization; and

               (b)  the total of the ULTIMATE NET LOSS under this
                    POLICY and the ultimate net loss under such other
                    policies issued by the INSURER equals or exceeds
                    $35,000,000;

               the maximum amount payable by the INSURER under this
               POLICY in the aggregate for all ULTIMATE NET LOSS
               resulting from such WRONGFUL ACT shall be the lesser of
               the applicable Limit of Liability provided by this
               POLICY or the product of:

                     (i) the applicable Limit of Liability provided
                         by this POLICY divided by the total limits
                         of liability per wrongful act applicable to
                         such wrongful act under all policies issued
                         by the INSURER; and

                    (ii) $35,000,000.

               If the amount paid under this POLICY with respect to
               such WRONGFUL ACT exceeds the COMPANY'S proportionate
               share of the $35,000,000 as determined above, the
               COMPANY shall refund such excess to the INSURER
               promptly.

     (C)  UNDERLYING LIMITS

          (1)  If this POLICY is written as Primary Insurance with
               respect to Insuring Agreement I(A)(2), the UNDERLYING
               LIMIT for the COMPANY for each WRONGFUL ACT shall be as
               stated in Item 6A(1) of the Declarations, unless it is
               based upon, arises out of or is attributable to NUCLEAR
               OPERATIONS, in which event it shall be as stated in
               Item 6A(2) of the Declarations;

          (2)  If this POLICY is written as Excess Insurance:

               (a)  with respect to Insuring Agreements I(A)(1) and
                    I(A)(2), the UNDERLYING LIMIT for each WRONGFUL
                    ACT shall be as stated in Item 6B(1)(a) of the
                    Declarations and the maximum UNDERLYING LIMIT for
                    all WRONGFUL ACTS shall be as stated in Item
                    6B(1)(b) of the Declarations;

               (b)  with respect to ULTIMATE NET LOSS covered
                    hereunder:

                     (i) in the event of reduction of the underlying
                         aggregate limit as stated in Item 6B(1)(b),
                         the UNDERLYING LIMIT shall be such reduced
                         underlying aggregate limit; or

                    (ii) in the event of exhaustion of the
                         underlying aggregate limit as stated in
                         Item 6B(1)(b), the UNDERLYING LIMIT shall
                         be as stated in Item 6B(3) of the
                         Declarations;

               (c)  with respect to any WRONGFUL ACT covered
                    hereunder but not covered under such Underlying
                    Insurance, the UNDERLYING LIMIT shall be as
                    stated in Item 6B(2) of the Declarations; and

               (d)  nothing herein shall make this POLICY subject to
                    the terms and conditions of any Underlying
                    Insurance.

          (3)  Only payment of indemnity or defense expenses which,
               except for the amount thereof, would have been
               indemnifiable under this POLICY, may reduce or exhaust
               an UNDERLYING LIMIT.

          (4)  In the event that both Insuring Agreement I(A)(1) and
               I(A)(2) are applicable to INDEMNITY and DEFENSE COST
               resulting from a WRONGFUL ACT then:

               (a)  if this POLICY is written as Primary Insurance,
                    the UNDERLYING LIMIT applicable to such WRONGFUL
                    ACT shall be the UNDERLYING LIMIT stated in Item
                    6A of the Declarations; and

               (b)  if this POLICY is written as Excess Insurance and
                    the UNDERLYING LIMIT has been exhausted, the
                    UNDERLYING LIMIT applicable to such WRONGFUL ACT
                    shall be the UNDERLYING LIMIT stated in Item
                    6B(3);

               and there shall be no UNDERLYING LIMIT applicable with
               respect to coverage provided under Insuring Agreement
               I(A)(1).

          (5)  The UNDERLYING LIMITS stated in Item 6 of the
               Declarations applicable to Insuring Agreement I(A)(2)
               shall apply to all INDEMNITY and/or DEFENSE COST for
               which indemnification of the DIRECTORS and/or OFFICERS
               by the COMPANY is legally permissible, whether or not
               such indemnification is granted by the COMPANY.

II.  DEFINITIONS

     A.   CLAIM:  The term "CLAIM" shall mean:

          (1)  any demand, suit or proceeding against any DIRECTORS
               and/or OFFICERS during the POLICY PERIOD or during the
               DISCOVERY PERIOD, if purchased, which seeks actual
               monetary damages or other relief and which may result
               in any DIRECTORS and/or OFFICERS becoming legally
               obligated to pay ULTIMATE NET LOSS by reason of any
               WRONGFUL ACT actually or allegedly caused, committed or
               attempted during the COVERAGE PERIOD by the DIRECTORS
               and/or OFFICERS while acting in their capacity as such;

               Multiple demands or suits arising out of the same

          expenses incurred by or on behalf of the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS
          or, where reimbursable under I(A)(2), the COMPANY in the

          CLAIM except all salaries, wages and benefit expenses of
          DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, or the COMPANY.

     (E)  DIRECTOR and OFFICER:  The terms "DIRECTOR" and "OFFICER" as
          used herein, either in the singular or plural, shall mean:

<PAGE>
          (1)  any person who was, is now, or shall be a director,

               outside NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION; or

          (3)  the estates, heirs, legal representatives or assigns of
               deceased persons who were directors, officers or
               trustees of the COMPANY at the time the WRONGFUL ACTS
               upon which such CLAIMS were based were committed, and
               the legal representatives or assigns of directors,

          The INSURER shall not be called upon to assume charge of the
          investigation, settlement or defense of any demand, suit or
          proceeding, but the INSURER shall have the right and shall be
          given the opportunity to associate with the DIRECTORS,
          OFFICERS and COMPANY or any underlying insurer, or both, in
          the investigation, settlement, defense and control of any
          demand, suit or proceeding relative to any WRONGFUL ACT where
          the demand, suit or proceeding involves or may involve the
          INSURER.  At all times, the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS and COMPANY
          and the INSURER shall cooperate in the investigation,
          settlement and defense of such demand, suit or proceeding.

          The DIRECTORS, OFFICERS and COMPANY and their underlying
          insurer(s) shall, at all times, use diligence and prudence in
          the investigation, settlement and defense of demands, suits
          or other proceedings.  

     (E)  Appeals

          In the event that the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, COMPANY or any
          underlying insurer elects not to appeal a judgment in excess
          of the UNDERLYING LIMITS, the INSURER may elect to conduct
          such appeal at its own cost and expense and shall be liable
          for any taxable court costs and interest incidental thereto,
          but in no event shall the total liability of the INSURER,
          exclusive of the cost and expense of appeal, exceed its
          Limits of Liability stated in Item 5 of the Declarations.

     (F)  Subrogation

          In the event of any payment under this POLICY, the INSURER
          shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
          rights of recovery thereof, and the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS and
          COMPANY shall execute all papers required and shall do
          everything that may be necessary to enable the INSURER to
          bring suit in the name of the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS or COMPANY.

     (G)  Bankruptcy or Insolvency

          Bankruptcy or insolvency of the COMPANY shall not relieve the
          INSURER of any of its obligations hereunder.

          In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the COMPANY,
          subject to all the terms of this POLICY, the INSURER shall
          indemnify the DIRECTORS and OFFICERS under Insuring Agreement
          I(A)(1) (in excess of the UNDERLYING LIMITS, if any,
          applicable to Insuring Agreement I(A)(1) for ULTIMATE NET
          LOSS they shall become legally obligated to pay which would
          have been indemnified by the COMPANY and reimbursable by the
          INSURER under Insuring Agreement I(A)(2) but for such
          bankruptcy or insolvency; provided, however, that the INSURER
          shall be subrogated, to the extent of any payment, to the
          rights of the DIRECTORS and OFFICERS to receive
          indemnification from the COMPANY but only up to the amount of
          the UNDERLYING LIMITS applicable to Insuring Agreement
          I(A)(2) less the amount of the UNDERLYING LIMITS, if any,
          applicable to Insuring Agreement I(A)(1).

     (H)  Uncollectibility of Underlying Insurance

          Notwithstanding any of the terms of this POLICY which might
          be construed otherwise, if this POLICY is written as excess
          over any Underlying Insurance, it shall drop down only in the
          event of reduction or exhaustion of any aggregate limits
          contained in such Underlying Insurance and shall not drop
          down for any other reason including, but not limited to,
          uncollectibility (in whole or in part) because of the
          financial impairment or insolvency of an underlying insurer. 
          The risk of uncollectibility of such Underlying Insurance (in
          whole or in part) whether because of financial impairment or
          insolvency of an underlying insurer or for any other reason,
          is expressly retained by the DIRECTORS, OFFICERS and the
          COMPANY and is not in any way or under any circumstances
          insured or assumed by the INSURER.

     (I)  Maintenance of UNDERLYING LIMITS

          If this POLICY is written as Excess Insurance, it is a
          condition of this POLICY that any UNDERLYING LIMITS stated in
          Item 6 of the Declarations shall be maintained in full force
          and effect, except for reduction or exhaustion of any
          underlying aggregate limits of liability, during the currency
          of this POLICY.  Failure of the COMPANY to comply with the
          foregoing shall not invalidate this POLICY but in the event
          of such failure, without the agreement of the INSURER, the
          INSURER shall only be liable to the same extent as it would
          have been had the COMPANY complied with this Condition.

     (J)  Changes and Assignment

          The terms of this POLICY shall not be waived or changed, nor
          shall an assignment of interest be binding, except by an
          endorsement to this POLICY issued by the INSURER.

     (K)  Outside NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

          If any DIRECTOR or OFFICER is serving or has served at the
          specific request of the COMPANY as a DIRECTOR or OFFICER of
          an outside NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, the coverage afforded
          by this POLICY:

          (1)  shall be specifically excess of any other indemnity or
               insurance available to such DIRECTOR or OFFICER by
               reason of such service; and

          (2)  shall not be construed to extend to the outside NOT-
               FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION in which the DIRECTOR or
               OFFICER is serving or has served, nor to any other
               director, officer or employee of such outside NOT-FOR-
               PROFIT ORGANIZATION.

     (L)  DISCOVERY PERIOD

          (1)  In the event of cancellation or nonrenewal of this
               POLICY by the INSURER, the COMPANY shall have the
               right, upon execution of a warranty that all known
               CLAIMS and facts or circumstances likely to give rise
               to a CLAIM have been reported to the INSURER and
               payment of an additional premium to be determined by
               the INSURER which shall not exceed two hundred (200)
               percent of the Policy Premium stated in Item 4 of the
               Declarations, to an extension of the coverage afforded
               by this POLICY with respect to any CLAIM first made
               against any DIRECTOR or OFFICER during the period of
               twelve (12) months after the effective date of such
               cancellation or nonrenewal, but only with respect to
               any WRONGFUL ACT committed during the COVERAGE PERIOD. 
               This right of extension shall terminate unless written
               notice of such election is received by the INSURER
               within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
               cancellation or nonrenewal.

               The offer by the INSURER of renewal on terms,
               conditions or premiums different from those in effect
               during the POLICY PERIOD shall not constitute
               cancellation or refusal to renew this POLICY.

          (2)  In the event of cancellation or nonrenewal of this
               POLICY by the COMPANY, the COMPANY shall have the right
               upon payment of an additional premium, which shall not
               exceed one hundred (100) percent of the Policy Premium
               stated in Item 4 of the Declarations, to an extension
               of coverage afforded by this POLICY with respect to any
               CLAIM first made against any DIRECTOR or OFFICER during
               the period of twelve (12) months after the effective
               date of such cancellation or nonrenewal, but only with
               respect to any WRONGFUL ACT during the COVERAGE PERIOD. 
               This right of extension shall terminate unless written
               notice of such election is received by the INSURER
               within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
               cancellation or nonrenewal.

          (3)  In the event of renewal on terms and conditions
               different from those in effect during the POLICY
               PERIOD, the COMPANY shall have the right, upon
               execution of a warranty that all known CLAIMS and facts
               or circumstances likely to give rise to a CLAIM have
               been reported to the INSURER and payment of an
               additional premium to be determined by the INSURER
               which shall not exceed two hundred (200) percent of the
               Policy Premium stated in Item 4 of the Declarations, to
               an extension of the original terms and conditions with
               respect to any CLAIM first made against any DIRECTOR or
               OFFICER during the period of twelve (12) months after
               the effective date of renewal, but only with respect to
               any WRONGFUL ACT committed during the COVERAGE PERIOD
               and not covered by the renewal terms and conditions. 
               This right of extension shall terminate unless written
               notice of such election is received by the INSURER
               within thirty (30) days after the effective date of
               renewal.

     (M)  Cancellation

          This POLICY may be cancelled:

          (1)  at any time by the COMPANY by mailing written notice to
               the INSURER stating when thereafter cancellation shall
               be effective; or

          (2)  at any time by the INSURER by mailing written notice to
               the COMPANY stating when, not less than ninety (90)
               days from the date such notice was mailed, cancellation
               shall be effective, except in the event of cancellation
               for nonpayment of premiums, such cancellation shall be
               effective ten (10) days after the date notice thereof
               is mailed.

          The proof of mailing of notice to the address of the COMPANY
          stated in Item 7 of the Declarations or the address of the
          INSURER stated in Item 8 of the Declarations shall be
          sufficient proof of notice and the insurance under this
          POLICY shall end on the effective date and hour of
          cancellation stated in the notice.  Delivery of such notice
          either by the COMPANY or by the INSURER shall be equivalent
          to mailing.

          With respect to all cancellations, the premium earned and
          retained by the INSURER shall be the sum of (a) the Minimum
          Premium stated in Item 4B of the Declarations plus (b) the
          pro-rata proportion, for the period this POLICY has been in
          force, of the difference between (i) the Policy Premium
          stated in Item 4A of the  Declarations and (ii) the Minimum
          Premium stated in Item 4B of the Declarations.

          The offer by the INSURER of renewal on terms, conditions or
          premiums different from those in effect during the POLICY
          PERIOD shall not constitute cancellation or refusal to renew
          this POLICY.

     (N)  Currency

          All amounts stated herein are expressed in United States
          Dollars and all amounts payable hereunder are payable in
          United States Dollars.

     (O)  Sole Agent

          The COMPANY first named in Item 1 of the Declarations shall
          be deemed the sole agent of each DIRECTOR and OFFICER for the
          purpose of requesting any endorsement to this POLICY, making
          premium payments and adjustments, receipting for payments of
          INDEMNITY and receiving notifications, including notice of
          cancellation from the INSURER.

     (P)  Acts, Omissions or Warranties

          The acts, omissions or warranties of any DIRECTOR or OFFICER
          shall not be imputed to any other DIRECTOR or OFFICER with
          respect to the coverages applicable under this POLICY.

     (Q)  Dispute Resolution and Service of Suit

          Any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this
          POLICY, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall
          be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in
          this Section IV (Q), which shall be the sole and exclusive
          procedures for the resolution of any such controversy or
          dispute.
          (1)  Negotiation.  The COMPANY and the INSURER shall attempt
               in good faith to resolve any controversy or dispute
               arising out of or relating to this POLICY promptly by
               negotiations between executives who have authority to
               settle the controversy.  Any party may give the other
               party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the
               normal course of business.  With fifteen (15) days the
               receiving party shall submit to the other a written
               response.  The notice and the response shall include
               (a) a statement of each party's position and a summary
               of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name
               and title of the executive who will represent that
               party and of any other person who will accompany the
               executive.  Within thirty (30) days after delivery of
               the disputing party's notice, the executives of both
               parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and
               place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem
               necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute.  All
               reasonable requests for information made by one party
               to the other will be honored.  If the matter has not
               been resolved within sixty (60) days of the disputing
               party's notice, or if the parties fail to meet within
               thirty (30) days, either party may initiate mediation
               of the controversy or claim as provided hereinafter.

               All negotiations pursuant to this clause will be kept
               confidential and shall be treated as compromise and
               settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal
               Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence.

          (2)  Mediation.  If the dispute has not been resolved by
               negotiation as provided herein, the parties shall
               endeavor to settle the dispute by mediation under the
               then current Center for Public Resources Model
               Procedure for Mediation of Business Disputes.  The
               neutral third party will be selected from the Center
               for Public Resources Panels of Neutrals, with the
               assistance of the Center for Public Resources.

          (3)  Arbitration.  Any controversy or dispute arising out of
               or relating to this POLICY, or the breach, termination
               or validity thereof, which has not been resolved by
               non-binding means as provided herein within ninety (90)
               days of the initiation of such procedure, shall be
               settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the
               Center for Public Resources for Non-Administered
               Arbitration of Business Disputes (the "CPR Rules") by
               three (3) independent and impartial arbitrators.  The
               COMPANY and the INSURER each shall appoint one
               arbitrator; the third arbitrator, who shall serve as
               the chair of the arbitration panel, shall be appointed
               in accordance with CPR Rules.  If either the COMPANY or
               the INSURER has requested the other to participate in a
               non-binding procedure and the other has failed to
               participate, the requesting party may initiate
               arbitration before expiration of the above period.  The
               arbitration shall be governed by the United States
               Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Subsection 1 et seq., and
               judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may
               be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
               The terms of this POLICY are to be construed in an
               evenhanded fashion as between the COMPANY and the
               INSURER in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction
               in which the situation forming the basis for the
               controversy arose.  Where the language of this POLICY
               is deemed to be ambiguous or otherwise unclear, the
               issue shall be resolved in a manner most consistent
               with the relevant terms of this POLICY without regard
               to authorship of the language and without any
               presumption or arbitrary interpretation or construction
               in favor of either the COMPANY or the INSURER.  In
               reaching any decision the arbitrators shall give due
               consideration for the customs and usages of the
               insurance industry.  The arbitrators are not empowered
               to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and
               each party hereby irrevocably waives any such damages.

               In the event of a judgment being entered against the
               INSURER on an arbitration award, the INSURER at the
               request of the COMPANY, shall submit to the
               jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction
               within the United States of America, and shall comply
               with all requirements necessary to give such court
               jurisdiction and all matters relating to such judgment
               and its enforcement shall be determined in accordance
               with the law and practice of such court.

          (4)  Service of Suit.  Service of process in such suit or
               any other suit instituted against the INSURER under
               this POLICY may be made upon Messrs. LeBoeuf, Lamb,
               Greene, & MacRae, L.L.P., 125 West 55th Street, New
               York, New York  10019.  The INSURER will abide by the
               final decision of the court in such suit or of any
               appellate court in the event of any appeal.  Messrs.
               LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae, L.L.P. are authorized
               and directed to accept service of process on behalf of
               the INSURER in any such suit and, upon the COMPANY's
               request, to give a written undertaking to the COMPANY's
               that they will enter a general appearance upon the
               INSURER's behalf in the event such suit is instituted. 
               Nothing in this clause constitutes or should be
               understood to constitute a waiver of the INSURER's
               right to commence an action in any court of competent
               jurisdiction in the United States, to remove an action
               to a United States District Court, or to seek to
               transfer a case to another court as permitted by the
               laws of the United States or of any state in the United
               States.

     (R)  Severability

          In the event that any provision of this POLICY shall be
          declared or deemed to be invalid or unenforceable under any
          applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
          affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining
          portion of this POLICY.

     (S)  Non-assessability

          The COMPANY (and, accordingly, any DIRECTOR or OFFICER for
          whom the COMPANY acts as agent) shall only be liable under
          this POLICY for the premium stated in Item 4 of the
          Declarations.  Neither the COMPANY nor any DIRECTOR or
          OFFICER for whom the COMPANY acts as agent shall be subject
          to any contingent liability or be required to pay any dues or
          assessments in addition to the premium described above.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services Limited
has caused this POLICY to be signed by its Chairman at Hamilton, Bermuda. 
However, this POLICY shall not be binding upon the INSURER unless
countersigned on the Declaration Page by a duly authorized representative
of the INSURER.
