ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
as amended, provides that under certain circumstances a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or is or was serving at its request in such capacity in another
corporation or business association, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Article XIII, Section 2 of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company provides in effect that, subject to certain limited
exceptions, the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the
extent authorized or permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware. The directors and officers of the Company are insured under
policies of insurance maintained by the Company, subject to the limits of
the policies, against certain losses arising from any claims made against
them by reason of being or having been such directors or officers. Like
indemnification and insurance is also provided to those employees of the
Company who serve as administrators of the Plan. In addition, the Company
has entered into contracts with all of its directors providing for
indemnification of such persons by the Company to the full extent
authorized or permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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 Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) 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 the registration
statement 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-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrants pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(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 the 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) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the ML & Co.'s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the 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 provisions referred
to in Item 6 of this registration statement, 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 Act 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 a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
