SIGNING WITH J.P. MORGAN

The Pinnacle Alliance -- a consortium of five companies that includes

announced the formal signing of a contract that calls for the

exploit emerging technologies, manage costs and quickly respond
to fluctuating financial markets.

Morgan data centers in New York, London and Delaware; distributed
computing operations (such as desktop support and local area networks)
and voice and data services in New York, Delaware, London and
Paris; and certain internal corporate applications in the United
States and Europe. All of the Morgan positions that currently
support tasks covered by the agreement will be assumed by one
of the Alliance firms.

Formally, the contract for the Pinnacle Alliance is between J.P.
