ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

         Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL") provides that 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he 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



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

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 corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his 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 he 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 his conduct
was unlawful.

         Section 145(b) of the DGCL states that 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 or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he 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 him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit 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 corporation, and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of 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 circumstances 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.

         Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a present
or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

         Section 145(d) of the DGCL states that any indemnification under
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made
by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or
agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be
made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to
such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a
committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors,
even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if
such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4) by the stockholders.

         Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in
Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

         Section 145(f) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other
subsections of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action
in another capacity while holding such office.



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the
power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under Section 145.

         Section 145(j) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall,
unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

         The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except as limited by the DGCL. If the DGCL is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Company, in addition to the limitation on personal liability
described above, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended
DGCL. Further, any repeal or modification of such provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation by the stockholders of the Company shall be prospective only,
and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a
director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

BYLAWS

         The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company (i) shall 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 reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprises or employee benefit plan
and (ii) upon a determination by the Board of Directors that indemnification is
appropriate, the Company 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 or
suit by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of
the Company or at the request of the Company was serving as an employee or agent
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or
employee benefit plan, in the case of (i) and (ii) against reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action or suit if such person 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 that his conduct was unlawful. However, in an action
or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the
extent that a court of appropriate jurisdiction shall determine that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity of such expenses
which the court shall deem proper. Any indemnification shall be made by the
Company upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth above. Expenses incurred by a person who is or was a director or officer
of the Company in defending such actions or suits shall be paid by the Company
at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such action or
suit upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay or
reimburse expenses incurred by any person who is or was a director or officer of
the Company in connection with such person's appearance as a witness or other
participant in a proceeding in which such person or the Company is not a named
party to such proceeding, provided that such appearance or participation is on
behalf of the Company or by reason of his past or present capacity as a director
or officer of the Company. The Company intends these provisions to provide
indemnification for appropriate persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.

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 1933, as amended (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 in 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)
                  (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) 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; and

                           (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
                  information required to be included in a post-effective
                  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
                  filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
                  of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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 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.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

         Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL") provides that 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he 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

                                       2
3

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 corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his 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 he 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 his conduct
was unlawful.

         Section 145(b) of the DGCL states that 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 or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he 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 him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit 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 corporation, and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of 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 circumstances 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.

         Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a present
or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

         Section 145(d) of the DGCL states that any indemnification under
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made
by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or
agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be
made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such
determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to
such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a
committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors,
even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if
such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4) by the stockholders.

         Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in
Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such
terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

         Section 145(f) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other
subsections of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action
in another capacity while holding such office.

                                       3
4

         Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the
power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or
not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under Section 145.

         Section 145(j) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall,
unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

         The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except as limited by the DGCL. If the DGCL is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Company, in addition to the limitation on personal liability
described above, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended
DGCL. Further, any repeal or modification of such provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation by the stockholders of the Company shall be prospective only,
and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a
director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

BYLAWS

         The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company (i) shall 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 reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprises or employee benefit plan
and (ii) upon a determination by the Board of Directors that indemnification is
appropriate, the Company 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 or
suit by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of
the Company or at the request of the Company was serving as an employee or agent
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or
employee benefit plan, in the case of (i) and (ii) against reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action or suit if such person 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 that his conduct was unlawful. However, in an action
or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the
extent that a court of appropriate jurisdiction shall determine that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity of such expenses
which the court shall deem proper. Any indemnification shall be made by the
Company upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth above. Expenses incurred by a person who is or was a director or officer
of the Company in defending such actions or suits shall be paid by the Company
at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such action or
suit upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer
to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay or
reimburse expenses incurred by any person who is or was a director or officer of
the Company in connection with such person's appearance as a witness or other
participant in a proceeding in which such person or the Company is not a named
party to such proceeding, provided that such appearance or participation is on
behalf of the Company or by reason of his past or present capacity as a director
or officer of the Company. The Company intends these provisions to provide
indemnification for appropriate persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  decrease in volume in 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

                  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
                  prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
                  (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) 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; and

                           (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
                  information required to be included in a post-effective
                  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
                  filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
                  of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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 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.
