Dear Applicant:

     We considered the information you sent us and have determined that your
termination of this plan does not adversely affect its qualification for federal
tax purposes. Please note that this is not a determination regarding the effect
of other federal or local statutes.

     Publication 794 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.

     Even though you have terminated this plan, we would like to remind you of
certain filing obligations. The related tax-exempt trust, custodial account, or
other payers who are responsible for making payments may be required to file
information returns on Form 1099-R, with Form 1096, for amounts paid or made
available to any individual or beneficiary.

     In addition, you must continue to file a Form 5500 series return annually
until all plan assets are distributed. The last return required is the one filed
for the year in which distribution is completed. Be sure to check "Final Return"
box at the top of page 1.

     This determination applies to the proposed termination date of 123198.

     This determination is subject to your adoption of the proposed amendments
submitted in your letter dated 120798. The proposed amendments should be adopted
on or before the date prescribed by the regulations under Code section 401(b).

     The requirement for employee benefits plans to file summary plan
descriptions (SPD) with the U.S. Department of Labor was eliminated effective
August 5, 1997. For more details, call 1-800-998-7542 for a free copy of the SPD
card.

     The information on the enclosed addendum is an integral part of this
determination. Please to sure to read and keep it with this letter.
