     WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to obtain a Commitment from

prior to the Commitment Termination Date; and

     WHEREAS, the Lender is willing, on the terms and subject to
the conditions hereinafter set forth (including Article V), to
extend such Commitment and make such Loans to the Borrower; and

     WHEREAS, the proceeds of such Loans will be used for general
corporate purposes, including acquisitions by the Borrower (other

Lender's loan to the Borrower pursuant to the promissory note
dated as of May 25, 1994;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

meanings to be equally applicable to the singular and plural
forms thereof):

     "Affiliate" of any Person means any other Person which,
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with such Person (excluding any trustee under, or
any committee with responsibility for administering, any Plan). 
A Person shall be deemed to be "controlled by" any other Person
if such other Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power

     diluted basis) having ordinary voting power for the election

the lowest rate of interest determined by the Continental in
connection with extensions of credit.  Changes in the rate of

Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in
the Alternate Reference Rate.  The Lender will give notice

Rate.

in accordance with GAAP, and the stated maturity thereof shall be
the date of the last payment of rent or any other amount due
under such lease prior to the first date upon which such lease
may be terminated by the lessee without payment of a penalty.

the conditions of this Agreement (including Article V), the
Lender severally agrees to make Loans pursuant to the Commitment
described in this Section 2.1.

     SECTION 2.1.1.   Commitment of the Lender.  From time to
time on any Business Day occurring prior to the Commitment
Termination Date, the Lender will make loans (of any type, the
"Loans") to the Borrower equal to the aggregate amount of the
Borrowing requested by the Borrower to be made on such day.  The
commitment of the Lender described in this Section 2.1.1 is
herein referred to as the "Commitment".  On the terms and subject
to the conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time
borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

     SECTION 2.1.2.   Lender Not Permitted or Required To Make
Loans.  The Lender shall be permitted or required to make any
Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Loans of the Lender would exceed the
Commitment Amount.

     SECTION 2.1.3.   Commitment Termination Date.  The
Commitment shall terminate and the Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations to make any Loan on the Commitment Termination
Date.  

     SECTION 2.2.     Reduction of Commitment Amount.  The
Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily
reduce the Commitment Amount; provided, however, that all such
reductions shall require at least five (5) Business Days' prior
notice to the Lender and be permanent, and any partial reduction
of the Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $5,000,000.

     SECTION 2.3.     Borrowing Procedure.  By delivering a
Borrowing Request to the Lender on or before 10:00 a.m., Chicago
time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time
irrevocably request, in the case of LIBOR Loans, on not less than
three Business Days' notice, and, in the case of Reference Rate
Loans, on the same Business Day, that a Borrowing be made in a
minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000, or in the unused amount of the Commitments.  On the
terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each
Borrowing shall be comprised of the type of Loans, and shall be
made on the Business Day, specified in such Borrowing Request.  

     SECTION 2.4.     Conversion Elections.  By delivering a
Conversion Notice to the Lender on or before 10:00 a.m., Chicago
time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time
irrevocably elect that all, or any portion in an aggregate
minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000, of any Loans be, in the case of Reference Rate Loans,
converted into LIBOR Loans on three Business Day's prior notice
or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, converted into a Reference Rate
Loan on the same Business Day; provided, however, that (i) no
portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be
converted into, LIBOR Loans when any Default has occurred and is
continuing, and (ii) no conversion of less than all of any Loan
shall be effective if the remaining balance of such Loan not so
converted or continued is less than $5,000,000. 

     SECTION 2.5.     Funding.  The Lender may, if it so elects,
fulfill its obligation to make, or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder
by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an
international banking facility created by the Lender) to make or
maintain such LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that such LIBOR Loan
shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by
the Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
LIBOR Loan shall nevertheless be to the Lender for the account of
such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. 
In addition, the Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for
purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Sections
4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that the
Lender elected to fund all LIBOR Loans by purchasing, as the case
may be, Dollar certificates of deposit in the U.S. or Dollar
deposits in its LIBOR Office's interbank eurodollar market.

     SECTION 2.6.     Note.  The Lender's Loans under its
Commitment shall be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of
the Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the Commitment
Amount.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to
make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid
attached to the Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which
notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the
outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and Interest
Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby.  Such notations
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest
error; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make
any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any
Obligations of the Borrower.


                           ARTICLE III

           REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

     SECTION 3.1.     Repayments and Prepayments.  The Borrower

     voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the
     outstanding principal amount of any Loans; provided,
     however, that 

               (i)    any such prepayment shall be made pro rata

          the same Interest Period;

               (ii)   no such prepayment of any LIBOR Loan may be
          made on any day other than the last day of the Interest
          Period for such Loan;

               (iii)  all such voluntary prepayments shall
          require at least one but no more than five Business
          Days' prior written notice to the Lender; and

          shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and
          an integral multiple of $100,000;

          (b)  shall, on each date when any reduction in the
     Commitment Amount shall become effective, including pursuant
     to Section 2.2, make a mandatory prepayment of all Loans
     equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding
     principal amount of all Loans over the Commitment Amount as
     so reduced; and

          (c)  shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the
     Commitment Termination Date of any Loans pursuant to Section
     8.2 or Section 8.3, repay all Loans, unless, pursuant to
     Section 8.3, only a portion of all Loans is so accelerated.

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall
be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by
Section 4.4.  No voluntary prepayment of principal of any Loans
shall cause a reduction in the Commitment Amount.

outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable
in accordance with this Section 3.2. 

     SECTION 3.2.1.   Rates.  Pursuant to an appropriately
delivered Borrowing Request or Conversion Notice, the Borrower
may elect that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a

     Reference Rate Loan, equal to the Alternate Reference Rate
     from time to time in effect; and

          (b)  on that portion maintained from time to time as a
     LIBOR Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto,
     equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate (Reserve Adjusted) plus a
     margin of 0.5625%.

     SECTION 3.2.2.   Post-Maturity Rates.  After the date any
principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether on the
Commitment Termination Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or
after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have
become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the
extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before
judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of (i) the Alternate Reference Rate plus a margin of 2%
and (ii) 2% in excess of the rate applicable to such amounts
immediately before they became due.

     SECTION 3.2.3.   Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on each
Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

     or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan;

          (c)  with respect to Reference Rate Loans, on each

     Period); 

          (e)  with respect to any Reference Rate Loans converted
     into LIBOR Loans on a day when interest would not otherwise
     have been payable pursuant to clause (c), on the date of
     such conversion; and

          (f)  on that portion of any Loans the Commitment
     Termination Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section
     8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date
such amount is due and payable (whether on the Commitment
Termination Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be
payable upon demand.

     SECTION 3.3.     Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the fees
set forth in this Section 3.3.  All such fees shall be non-
refundable.

     SECTION 3.3.1.   Non-use Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Lender, for the period (including any portion thereof when
its Commitment is suspended by reason of the Borrower's inability
to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on and
including the date hereof and continuing through the final
Commitment Termination Date, a non-use fee at the rate of 1/8 of
1% per annum on the daily average of the unused amount of the
Lender's Commitment.  Such non-use fee shall be payable by the
Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing
with the first such day following the date hereof, and on the
Commitment Termination Date.

     SECTION 3.3.2.   Facility Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay

             CERTAIN LIBOR RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

     SECTION 4.1.     LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful.  If the Lender
shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof
to the Borrower, be conclusive (absent manifest error) and
binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is
unlawful, for the Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan
as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan of a certain type,
the obligation of the Lender to make, continue, maintain or
convert any such Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith
be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist, and all LIBOR Loans of such type shall
automatically convert into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the
then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if
required by such law or assertion. 

     SECTION 4.2.     Deposits Unavailable.  If the Lender shall
have determined that

          (a)  Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
     relevant Interest Period are not available to the Lender in
     its relevant market; or

          (b)  by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
     market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the
     interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Loans of such
     type,

then, upon notice from the Lender to the Borrower, the
obligations of the Lender under Section 2.3 to make as, or under
Section 2.4 to continue any Loans as or convert any Loans into,
LIBOR Loans of such type shall forthwith be suspended until the
Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist.

     SECTION 4.3.     Increased LIBOR Loan Costs, etc.  If, as a
result of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or any
change therein or in the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
court, central bank, governmental authority, agency or
instrumentality, or comparable agency:

          (a)  any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any
     LIBOR Loan, any Note or the Lender's obligation to make any
     LIBOR Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable, or the
     basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of the principal
     of, or interest on, any LIBOR Loan (other than taxes imposed
     on the overall net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction
     in which the Lender has its principal office) is changed;

          (b)  any reserve, special deposit, special assessment
     or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
     for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender is
     imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or

          (c)  any other condition affecting this Agreement or
     any LIBOR Loan is imposed on the Lender or its relevant
     market;

and the Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to
the Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan is increased,
or the amount of any sum receivable by the Lender hereunder or
under any Note in respect of any LIBOR Loan is reduced; then, the
Borrower shall pay to the Lender upon demand such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such
additional cost or reduction (provided that the Lender has not
been compensated for such additional cost or reduction in the
calculation of the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage). 
Determinations by the Lender for purposes of this Section 4.3 of
the additional amounts required to compensate the Lender in
respect of the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.  In determining such amounts, the Lender may use
any reasonable averaging, attribution and allocation methods.

     SECTION 4.4.     Funding Losses.  In the event the Lender
shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits
or other funds acquired by the Lender to make, continue or
maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or
to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into,
a LIBOR Loan) as a result of

          (a)  any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the
     principal amount of any LIBOR Loans on a date other than the
     scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable
     thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;

          (b)  any Loans not being made as LIBOR Loans in
     accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or

          (c)  any Loans not being continued as, or converted
     into, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Conversion Notice
     therefor,

(excluding in any case any loss or expense resulting from the
Lender's breach of its obligations hereunder) then, upon the
written notice of the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall,
within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to the
Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of
the Lender) reimburse the Lender for such loss or expense.  Such
written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable
detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on the Borrower.

     SECTION 4.5.     Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in,
or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation,
directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having
the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other
governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or
any Person controlling the Lender, and the Lender determines (in
its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its
or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its
Commitment or the Loans made by the Lender is reduced to a level
below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have
achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then,
in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Lender to
the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to the
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or
such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return.  A
statement of the Lender as to any such additional amount or
amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail)
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower.  In determining such amount, the Lender
may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that
it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

     SECTION 4.6.     Taxes.  All payments by the Borrower of
principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or
franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or
other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing
authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or
measured by the Lender's net income or receipts (such non-
excluded items being called "Taxes").  In the event that any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the
Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant
to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will

          (a)  pay directly to the relevant authority the full
     amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

          (b)  promptly forward to the Lender an official receipt
     or other documentation satisfactory to the Lender evidencing
     such payment to such authority; and 

          (c)  pay to the Lender such additional amount or
     amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
     actually received by the Lender will equal the full amount
     the Lender would have received had no such withholding or
     deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Lender
with respect to any payment received by the Lender hereunder, the
Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such
additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or
expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received
by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any
Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such
person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

     If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender, the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a
result of any such failure.  For purposes of this Section 4.6, a
distribution hereunder by the Lender to or for the account of the
Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

     SECTION 4.7.     Payments, Computations, etc.  All payments
by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the Note shall be made
to the Lender, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not
later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date due, in same day
or immediately available funds, to such account as the Lender
shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower.  Funds
received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by
the Lender on the next succeeding Business Day.  All interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over
a year comprised of 360 days.  Whenever any payment to be made
shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the
definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR
Loans) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest and
fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

     SECTION 4.8.     Setoff.  The Lender shall, upon the
occurrence of any Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of
Section 8.1.8 with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or,
any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and
apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or
not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the
Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security
interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or
moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with the
Lender.  The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after
any such setoff and application made by the Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the
Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law
or otherwise) which the Lender may have.

     SECTION 4.9.     Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower shall apply
the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the third
recital; without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of any Loan
will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 or any "margin stock", as defined in F.R.S. Board
Regulation U.

     In order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement
and to make Loans hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants
unto the Lender as set forth in this Article VI.

     SECTION 6.1.     Organization, etc.  The Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries is a corporation validly organized and
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation, is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where
the nature of its business requires such qualification, except
where failure so to qualify would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, operations, assets, business,
properties or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and
has full power and authority and holds all requisite governmental
licenses, permits and other approvals to enter into and perform
its Obligations under this Agreement and the Note and to own and

     SECTION 6.4.     Validity, etc.  This Agreement constitutes,
and the Note will, on the due execution and delivery thereof,

bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, as well as general
principles of equity.

     SECTION 6.5.     Financial Information.  The balance sheets
of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries as at December 31,

results of their operations for the periods then ended.

     SECTION 6.6.     No Material Adverse Change.  Since the

has been no material adverse change in the financial condition,
operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the

     SECTION 6.9.     Ownership of Properties.  The Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries owns good and marketable title to all of
its material properties and assets, real and personal, tangible
and intangible, of any nature whatsoever (including patents,

clear of all Liens, charges or claims (including infringement
claims with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights and the
like) except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.2.

     SECTION 6.10.    Taxes.  The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has filed all tax returns and reports required by
law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes and
governmental charges thereby shown to be owing, except any such
taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves
in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.

     SECTION 6.11.    Pension and Welfare Plans.  During the
twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter prior to
the date of any Borrowing hereunder, no steps have been taken to
terminate any Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has
occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise
to a Lien under section 302(f) of ERISA.  No condition exists or
event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension
Plan which might result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any
member of the Controlled Group of any material liability, fine or
penalty.  Except as disclosed in Item 6.11 ("Employee Benefit
Plans") of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Borrower nor any
member of the Controlled Group has any contingent liability with
respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan,
other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part

Environmental Laws and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no
material liability with respect to Environmental Laws; provided,
that with respect to any facilities or property leased by the

deemed breached unless the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall have a material liability with respect thereto.

     SECTION 6.13.    Regulations G, U and X.  The Borrower is
not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no proceeds of any
Loans will be used for a purpose which violates, or would be
inconsistent with, F.R.S. Board Regulation G, U or X.  Terms for
which meanings are provided in F.R.S. Board Regulation G, U or X
or any regulations substituted therefor, as from time to time in
effect, are used in this Section with such meanings.

     SECTION 6.14.    Accuracy of Information.  All factual
information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished in writing
by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Lender for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual
information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower
to the Lender will be, true and accurate in every material
respect on the date as of which such information is dated or

Agreement by the Lender, and such information is not, or shall
not be, as the case may be, incomplete by omitting to state any
material fact necessary to make such information not misleading.

     of any steps by the Borrower or any other Person to
     terminate any Pension Plan, or the failure to make a
     required contribution to any Pension Plan if such failure is
     sufficient to give rise to a Lien under section 302(f) of
     ERISA, or the taking of any action with respect to a Pension
     Plan which could result in the requirement that the Borrower
     furnish a bond or other security to the PBGC or such Pension
     Plan, or the occurrence of any event with respect to any
     Pension Plan which could result in the incurrence by the
     Borrower of any material liability, fine or penalty, or any

     Borrower with respect to any post-retirement Welfare Plan
     benefit, notice thereof and copies of all documentation

material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and orders, such compliance to include (without limitation):

     existence and qualification as a foreign corporation, except
     where failure to qualify would not have a material adverse
     effect on the financial condition, operations, assets,
     business, properties or prospects of the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries; and

          (b)  the payment, before the same become delinquent, of
     all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon
     it or upon its property except to the extent being

may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable
to subsequent transactions.  No waiver or approval hereunder

     within the control of, the Borrower or such Subsidiary,

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the
account of a particular Indemnified Party by reason of the
relevant Indemnified Party's gross negligence or wilful

     SECTION 9.5.     Survival.  The obligations of the Borrower
under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 9.3 and 9.4, shall in each

     Affiliate of the Lender, shall be entitled to require the
     Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder
     or under any other Loan Document, except that the Lender may
     agree with any Participant that the Lender will not, without
     such Participant's consent, take any actions of the type
     described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 9.1, and 

          (e)  the Borrower shall not be required to pay any

     participating interest been sold.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for
purposes of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 10.3 and 10.4,

restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 

     SECTION 9.13.    Consent to Jurisdiction.  THE BORROWER
HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF

Continental Bank
231 South LaSalle Street

      Re:  Fourth Financial Corporation
           ----------------------------

Ladies/Gentlemen:

      I am General Counsel to Fourth Financial Corporation, a
Kansas corporation (the "Borrower") and I am delivering this
opinion to you pursuant to Section 5.1.3 of the Credit Agreement
dated as of July 1, 1994 (the "Credit Agreement"), between the
Borrower and Continental Bank (the "Lender").  Terms used herein
and defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise
defined herein.

      In connection with this opinion, I have examined executed
copies of the Credit Agreement and the Note, executed and
delivered pursuant thereto, and such corporate documents and
records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and
officers of the Borrower and other documents as I have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.  In
stating this opinion, I have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing the Credit
Agreement on behalf of parties thereto other than the Borrower,
the authenticity of all documents submitted as originals and the
conformity to authentic original documents of all documents
submitted as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.

      Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

      1.   The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Kansas, and each Subsidiary of the Borrower is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation.  The Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries has the power to own its assets and to
transact the business in which it is presently engaged and is
duly qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws
of each jurisdiction in which the failure to qualify would have a
material adverse effect upon the condition, financial or
otherwise of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  The
Borrower is a bank holding company duly registered with the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended.

      2.   The Borrower has the corporate power to execute,
deliver and carry out its obligations under the Credit Agreement
and the Note and to borrow under the Credit Agreement.  The
Borrower has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize
the borrowings under the Credit Agreement on the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement and to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Agreement and
the Note.  No consent of any other party (including stockholders
of the Borrower), and no consent, license, approval or
authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any
governmental body, authority, bureau or agency is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Agreement and the Note.

      3.   The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit
Agreement and the Note, and the use of the proceeds of the
borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will not violate any
provision of any applicable law or regulation, or of any order,
judgment, award or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, or of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-
Laws of the Borrower, or, to the best of my knowledge, result in
a breach of or constitute a default under any mortgage,
partnership agreement, indenture, contract, agreement or other
undertaking to which the Borrower is a party or which purports to
be binding upon the Borrower or any of its assets, and will not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the
assets of the Borrower.

      4.   To the best of my knowledge, there are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of my knowledge,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or revenues,
at law or in equity or before any governmental body, which (i)
would materially adversely affect the financial condition,
operations, assets, business, properties or prospects of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary or (ii) relate to any of the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

      5.   The Credit Agreement has been, and, upon the execution
and delivery thereof, the Note will be, duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower.  The Credit Agreement constitutes,
and, when executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Note will
constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with their terms.

      6.   The Borrower is not an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

      7.   To the best of my knowledge, the Borrower is not under
investigation by, or operating under any restrictions (applicable
specifically to the Borrower) imposed by, any regulatory
authority.

      8.   To the best of my knowledge, the Borrower is in
compliance with all material requirements of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended, and with existing regulations of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System relating to
bank holding companies.

      The opinions expressed above are subject to the following
limitations, qualifications and exceptions:

      a.   The legality, validity and enforceability of any rights
           and remedies provided in the Credit Agreement and the
           Note are subject to exceptions provided by bankruptcy,
           insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium,
           assignment for the benefit of creditors' laws or
           similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the
           validity, legality and binding effect and
           enforceability of creditors' rights generally,
           including, without limitation, the effect of statutory
           or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or
           preferential transfers; and
