Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

               As authorized by Section 145 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, each director and officer of PRT may be
indemnified by PRT against expenses (including attorney's fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened,
pending or completed legal proceedings in which he is involved by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of PRT if he acted in
good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of PRT and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. However, if the legal proceeding is by or in the
right of PRT, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to
PRT unless a court determines otherwise.

               In addition, PRT's By-Laws provide that PRT shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made
a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding")
by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is
the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of PRT or is or was serving at the request of PRT as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss
suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person. PRT shall be
required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated
by such person only if the Proceeding was authorized by the Board of
Directors of PRT.

            (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  1.     To file, during any period in which offers or
                         sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
                         to this Registration Statement:

                         (i)  to include any prospectus required by

                              events arising after the effective date of

                              recent post-effective amendment hereto)
                              which, individually or in the aggregate,
                              represent a fundamental change in the
                              information set forth in the Registration
                              Statement;

                       (iii)  to include any material information with
                              respect to the plan of distribution not
                              previously disclosed in this Registration
                              State ment or any material change to such
                              information in the Registration Statement;

                         provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                         (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
                         statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3,
                         and the information required to be included in a
                         post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
                         con tained in periodic reports filed with or
                         furnished to the Securities and Exchange
                         Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section
                         13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                         1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
                         Registration State ment.

                  2.     That, for the purpose of determining any
                         liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
                         such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
                         be a new registration statement relating to the
                         securities offered therein, and the offering of
                         such securities at that time shall be deemed to
                         be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  3.     To remove from registration by means of a
                         post-effective amendment any of the securities
                         being registered which remain unsold at the
                         termination of the offering.

            (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.


                                SIGNATURES

            Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York,
State of New York, on this 22nd day of January, 1998.
