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

         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 obligor is not in default under any indenture
         under which the applicant is trustee.
