ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides as follows:

         A corporation shall have the power to 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
   by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee
   or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
   corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
   partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
   (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
   actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such
   action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
   the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
   of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
   had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The
   termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
   conviction or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not, of
   itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
   a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
   best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
   or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was
   unlawful.

         A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or
   is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
   completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
   judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
   director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
   at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
   of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
   against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
   by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
   suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
   believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
   except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue
   or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
   the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or
   the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
   application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
   the cir-


                                      -2-





   cumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
   to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other
   court shall deem proper.

      As permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
Registrant has included in its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to
eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In
addition, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that
the Registrant is required to indemnify its officers and directors under certain
circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and the Registrant is required to advance expenses
to its officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against
them for which they may be indemnified.

      The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance for
the benefit of its directors and officers.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

      Not applicable.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

      See Exhibit Index at page 7.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

(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 Section 10(a)(3) of
      the Securities Act;

            (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
      decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
      securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
      deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
      may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
      pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
      price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
      the effective 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;


                                      -3-





   PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) of this section
   do not apply if this 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 contained in periodic reports filed with or
   furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
   Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
   registration statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act, 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, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
                                      * * *

      (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.


                                      -4-
