Dear Applicant:

     We have made a favorable determination on your plan, identified above,
based on the information supplied. Please keep this letter in your permanent
records.

     Continued qualification of the plan under its present form will depend on
its effect in operation. (See section 1.401-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax
Regulations.) We will review the status of the plan in operation periodically.

     The enclosed document explains the significance of this favorable
determination letter, points out some features that may affect the qualified
status of your employee retirement plan, and provides information on the
reporting requirements for your plan. It also describes some events that
automatically nullify it. It is very important that you read the publication.

     This letter relates only to the status of your plan under the Internal
Revenue Code. It is not a determination regarding the effect of other federal or
local statutes.

     This determination letter is applicable for the amendment(s) adopted on
5-25-95.

     This plan has been mandatorily disaggregated, permissively aggregated, or
restructured to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements.

     This letter is issued under Rev. Proc. 93-39 and considers the amendments
required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 except as otherwise specified in this
letter.

     This plan satisfies the nondiscriminatory current availability requirements
of section 1.401(a)(4) -4(b) of the regulations with respect to those
benefits, rights, and features that are currently available to all employees in
the plan's coverage group. For this purpose, the plan's coverage group consists
of those employees treated as currently benefiting for purposes of demonstrating
that the plan satisfies the minimum coverage requirements of section 410(b) of
the Code.

     This letter may not be relied upon with respect to whether the plan
satisfies the qualification requirements as amended by the Uruguay Round

determination. Please be sure to read and keep it with this letter.

     We have sent a copy of this letter to your representative as indicated in
the power of attorney.

     If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact the person
whose name and telephone number are shown above.

This plan also satisfies the requirements of Code section 401(k).

This plan does not provide for contributions on behalf of participants with less
than one thousand hours of service during the plan year and/or does not provide
for contributions on behalf of participants not employed on the last day of the
plan year. The provision(s) may, in operation, cause this plan to fail the
coverage requirements of IRC 410(b) and/or the participation requirements of IRC
401(a)(26). If this discrimination occurs, this plan will not remain qualified.
