                    DETERMINATION OF NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
                         AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The persons named as proxies intend to vote to fix the number of 
Directors for the ensuing year at eleven and vote for the election of the 
persons named below as Nominees for Election at This Meeting as 
Directors, each to hold office until the annual meeting held in the year 
indicated in the column designated "Term of Office."  If any nominee 
should not be available for election at the time of the meeting, the 
persons named as proxies may vote for another person in their discretion 
or may vote to fix the number of Directors at less than eleven.  The 
management does not anticipate that any nominee will become unavailable.

The By-laws of the Corporation provide in substance that the Board of 
Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number
as possible, and that the term of office of one class shall expire and a 
successor class be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders.

The present number of Directors is eleven.  It is proposed by the Board
that at the meeting the number of Directors who shall constitute the full 
Board of Directors until the next annual meeting be fixed at eleven and
that the four nominees listed below be elected to serve until the date 
indicated opposite their names.  All of the nominees are currently
Directors.

Opposite the name of each nominee and each continuing Director in the 
following table is shown:  (1) the number of shares of stock of the 
Corporation owned beneficially by each such person; (2) for those persons 
serving as Directors of the Corporation, the date on which such person's
term of office as Director began; (3) the term of office for which such
person will serve; and (4) such person's current principal occupation or 
employment.
