ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
("Section 145") permits a Delaware corporation 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 such 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 such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.

         In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, Section
145 permits the corporation 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 such 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 such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation. No indemnification may 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.

         To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, Section
145 requires that such person be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

         Section 145 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.

         An officer or director shall not be entitled to indemnification by the
Company if (i) the officer or director did not act in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer
or director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

         The Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
provides that a director of the Company will not be personally liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of his or her
fiduciary duty as a director, except in certain cases where liability is
mandated by the DGCL. The provision has no effect on any non-monetary remedies
that may be available to the Company or its stockholders, nor does it relieve
the Company or its officers or directors from compliance with federal or state
securities laws.

         The Certificate also generally provides that the Company shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit investigation, administrative
hearing or any other proceeding (each, a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan,
against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred and suffered




                                       4
<PAGE>   5


by him in connection with such Proceeding. An advance of expenses incurred by
such indemnified person in his or her capacity as a director or officer only, if
and to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company requires, shall be
made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by
final adjudication that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses under the Certificate.

         The Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 provides for indemnification of the Company
and its directors, certain officers and controlling persons by the Underwriters
for certain civil liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


                                       5
<PAGE>   6



         (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 information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and 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 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.

         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 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
("Section 145") permits a Delaware corporation 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 such 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 such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.

         In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, Section
145 permits the corporation 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 such 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 such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation. No indemnification may 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.

         To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, Section
145 requires that such person be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

         Section 145 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.

         An officer or director shall not be entitled to indemnification by the
Company if (i) the officer or director did not act in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer
or director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

         The Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
provides that a director of the Company will not be personally liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of his or her
fiduciary duty as a director, except in certain cases where liability is
mandated by the DGCL. The provision has no effect on any non-monetary remedies
that may be available to the Company or its stockholders, nor does it relieve
the Company or its officers or directors from compliance with federal or state
securities laws.

         The Certificate also generally provides that the Company shall
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit investigation, administrative
hearing or any other proceeding (each, a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan,
against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred and suffered

                                       4
5

by him in connection with such Proceeding. An advance of expenses incurred by
such indemnified person in his or her capacity as a director or officer only, if
and to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company requires, shall be
made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by
final adjudication that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such
expenses under the Certificate.

         The Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 provides for indemnification of the Company
and its directors, certain officers and controlling persons by the Underwriters
for certain civil liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                                       5

         (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 information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and 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 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.

         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 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
