                       GUIDELINES FOR REGISTERING STOCK


     For reasons of clarity and standardization, the stock transfer industry has
developed uniform stockholder registrations which we will utilize in the
issuance of your Stock Certificates(s).  If you have any questions, please
consult your legal advisor.

      Stock ownership must be registered in one of the following manners:

________________________________________________________________________________

INDIVIDUAL:    Avoid the use of two initials.  Include the first given name,
               middle initial and last name of the stockholder.  Omit words of
               limitation that do not affect ownership rights such as "special
               account", "single man", "personal property", etc.

________________________________________________________________________________

JOINT:         Joint ownership of stock by two or more persons shall be
               inscribed on the certificate with one of the following types of
               joint ownership.  Names should be joined by "and"; do not connect
               with "or".  Omit titles such as "Mrs.", "Dr.", etc.

               JOINT TENANTS--Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship and not
               as Tenants in Common may be specified to identify two or more
               owners where ownership is intended to pass automatically to the
               surviving tenant(s).

               TENANTS IN COMMON--Tenants in Common may be specified to identify
               two or more owners.  When stock is held as tenancy in common,
               upon the death of one co-tenant, ownership of the stock will be
               held by the surviving co- tenant(s) and by the heirs of the
               deceased co-tenant.  All parties must agree to the transfer or
               sale of shares held in this form of ownership.

________________________________________________________________________________

UNIFORM GIFT   Stock may be held in the name of a custodian for a minor under
TO MINORS      the Uniform TO MINORS:Gifts to Minors laws of the individual
               states.  There may be only one custodian and one minor designated
               on a stock certificate.  The standard abbreviation of custodian
               is "CUST", while the description "Uniform Gifts to Minors Act" is
               abbreviated "UNIF GIFT MIN ACT."  Standard U.S. Postal Service
               state abbreviations should be used to describe the appropriate
               state.  For example, stock held by John P. Jones under the
               Tennessee Uniform Gift to Minors Act will be abbreviated:
                         JOHN P. JONES CUST SUSAN A. JONES
                         UNIF GIFT MIN ACT TN

______________________________________________________________________________
 
FIDUCIARIES:    Stock held in a fiduciary capacity must contain the following:
                1.   The name(s) of the fiduciary--
                     .    If an individual, list the first given name, middle
                          initial, and last name
                     .    If a corporation, list the corporate title.
                     .    If an individual and a corporation, list the
                          corporation's title before the individual.

                2.   The fiduciary capacity--
                     .    Administrator         .       Conservator

                     .    Trustee               .       Personal Representative
                     .    Custodian                               

                3.   The type of document governing the fiduciary relationship.
                     Generally, such relationships are either under a form of
                     living trust agreement or pursuant to a court order.
                     Without a document establishing a fiduciary relationship,
                     your stock may not be registered in a fiduciary capacity.

                4.   The date of the document governing the relationship. The
                     date of the document need not be used in the description of
                     a trust created by a will.

                5.   Either of the following:
                                         The name of the maker, donor or
                                         testator or
