Corporation Law, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director&#146;s
or officer&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal
benefit.&#160; If the Delaware General
Corporation Law hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a
director or officer, in addition to the limitations on personal liability
provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the

Restated By-laws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative because he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys&#146; fees) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors and administrators.&#160;
If a claim is not paid in full by the Registrant within sixty days after
a written claim has been received, the claimant may at any time thereafter
bring suit against Wave to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is a Delaware
corporation.  The Company's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of the officers and
directors of the Company to the full extent permitted by law.  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware ("DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to
indemnify its officers and directors in certain circumstances.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides
that the Company may indemnify, subject to the standards set forth therein, any
person who is a party to any action, suit, or proceeding brought or threatened
by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Company or is or was serving as such with respect to another
entity at the request of the Company. 
The DGCL also provides that the Company may purchase insurance on behalf
of any such director, officer, employee or agent.
The
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Registrant to
obligate itself to indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to
indemnify from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other
matters referred to in or covered by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
or officer's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal
benefit.  If the Delaware General
Corporation Law hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a
director or officer, in addition to the limitations on personal liability
provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
amended General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The
Restated By-laws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative because he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
his or her heirs, executors and administrators. 
If a claim is not paid in full by the Registrant within sixty days after
a written claim has been received, the claimant may at any time thereafter
bring suit against Wave to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.
The above discussion of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and Section 145 of the DGCL is not
exhaustive, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of those
docuements and law.

Item 9.
Undertakings
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 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.  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 prospectuses filed with the
Commission pursuant to rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent 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;
provided,
however,
that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in the 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 Securities 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;
(4)           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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 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 therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
(5)           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
4
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
