*     The Exhibits thus designated are incorporated herein by reference as

                                     NOTE

      In answering any item in this Statement of Eligibility which relates
      to matters peculiarly within the knowledge of the obligors and its
      directors or officers, the trustee has relied upon information
      furnished to it by the obligors.

      Inasmuch as this Form T-1 is filed prior to the ascertainment by the
      trustee of all facts on which to base responsive answers to Item 2,
      the answer to said Item is based on incomplete information.

      Item 2, may, however, be considered as correct unless amended by an
      amendment to this Form T-1.

      Pursuant to General Instruction B, the trustee has responded to Items
      1, 2 and 16 of this form since to the best knowledge of the trustee
      as indicated in Item 13, the obligors are not in default under any
      indenture under which the applicant is trustee.
