$20,174,000 9 3/4% Senior Notes due January 15, 2004 issued under
Indenture dated as of January 31, 1994.

Act arises as a result of the trusteeship under any such other indenture,
including a statement as to how the indenture securities will rank as compared
with the securities issued under such other indenture.

Prior Securities are wholly unsecured and rank equally.
