ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "Act"), provides that a
Delaware corporation has the power generally to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and other agents (each, a "Corporate Agent") against
expenses and liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement) in connection
with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his being a Corporate
Agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, 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 corporation and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification of a Corporate Agent against expenses is permitted
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 corporation, however, no
indemnification is permitted 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 proceeding 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 such indemnification. To the
extent that a Corporate Agent has been successful on the merits of such
proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the corporation, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation is required to
indemnify the Corporate Agent for expenses in connection therewith. Expenses
incurred by a Corporate Agent in connection with a proceeding may, under
certain circumstances, be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors. The
power to indemnify and advance expenses under the Act does not exclude other
rights to which a Corporate Agent may be entitled to under the certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

         Under the Act, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate Agent against any liabilities
asserted against and incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the
corporation has the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under the
Act.

         As permitted by the Act, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
contains provisions which limit the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as directors except to the
extent such limitation of liability is prohibited by the Act. In accordance
with the



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

Act, these provisions do not limit the liability of any director for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, for certain unlawful payments of dividends or stock
repurchases under Section 174 of the Act; or for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. These provisions do not limit
the rights of the Company or any stockholder to seek an injunction or any other
non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director's fiduciary duty. In
addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director arising out
of his role as a director and do not relieve a director from liability for
violations of statutory law, such as certain liabilities imposed on a director
under the federal securities laws.

         In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
provide for the indemnification of Corporate Agents for certain expenses,
judgments, fines and payments incurred by them in connection with the defense
or settlement of claims asserted against them in their capacities as Corporate
Agents to the fullest extent authorized by the Act. The Company seeks to limit
its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by
purchasing directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

         Reference is made to Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Act in
connection with the above summary of indemnification, insurance and limitation
of liability.

         The purpose of these provisions is to assist the Company in retaining
qualified individuals to serve as officers, directors or other Corporate Agents
of the Company by limiting their exposure to personal liability for serving as
such.

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 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.

         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 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 any employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

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

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "Act"), provides that a
Delaware corporation has the power generally to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and other agents (each, a "Corporate Agent") against
expenses and liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement) in connection
with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his being a Corporate
Agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, 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 corporation and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification of a Corporate Agent against expenses is permitted
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 corporation, however, no
indemnification is permitted 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 proceeding 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 such indemnification. To the
extent that a Corporate Agent has been successful on the merits of such
proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the corporation, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation is required to
indemnify the Corporate Agent for expenses in connection therewith. Expenses
incurred by a Corporate Agent in connection with a proceeding may, under
certain circumstances, be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors. The
power to indemnify and advance expenses under the Act does not exclude other
rights to which a Corporate Agent may be entitled to under the certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.

         Under the Act, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate Agent against any liabilities
asserted against and incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the
corporation has the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under the
Act.

         As permitted by the Act, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
contains provisions which limit the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as directors except to the
extent such limitation of liability is prohibited by the Act. In accordance
with the

                                       5
6

Act, these provisions do not limit the liability of any director for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, for certain unlawful payments of dividends or stock
repurchases under Section 174 of the Act; or for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. These provisions do not limit
the rights of the Company or any stockholder to seek an injunction or any other
non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director's fiduciary duty. In
addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director arising out
of his role as a director and do not relieve a director from liability for
violations of statutory law, such as certain liabilities imposed on a director
under the federal securities laws.

         In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
provide for the indemnification of Corporate Agents for certain expenses,
judgments, fines and payments incurred by them in connection with the defense
or settlement of claims asserted against them in their capacities as Corporate
Agents to the fullest extent authorized by the Act. The Company seeks to limit
its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by
purchasing directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

         Reference is made to Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Act in
connection with the above summary of indemnification, insurance and limitation
of liability.

         The purpose of these provisions is to assist the Company in retaining
qualified individuals to serve as officers, directors or other Corporate Agents
of the Company by limiting their exposure to personal liability for serving as
such.

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 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.

         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 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 any employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been

                                       7
8

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