Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not Applicable

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

       Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the
maximum extent permitted under Delaware law, the personal liability of directors
and officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as
directors and officers, except in certain circumstances involving certain
wrongful acts, such as a breach of the director's duty of loyalty or acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law.

       Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits us to
indemnify officers, directors or employees against expenses, including
attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection
with legal proceedings if the officer, director or employee acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best
interests and, with respect to any criminal act or proceeding, if he or she had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification
is not permitted as to any matter as to which the person is adjudged to be
liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or
suit was brought upon application determines that, despite the adjudication of
liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Individuals who successfully defend such an action are entitled to
indemnification against expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the
action.

       Our By-Laws, as amended, require us to indemnify directors and officers
against, to the fullest extent permitted by law, liabilities which they may
incur under the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph.

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 this 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 this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
            any increase or decresase in the 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
            the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
            aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
            20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
            in the "Calculation of the 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 this Registration
            Statement or any material change to such information in this
            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 registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this 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 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.

                                       4
<PAGE>
          (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 SEC 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 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

        Not Applicable

Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not Applicable

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

       Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the
maximum extent permitted under Delaware law, the personal liability of directors
and officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as
directors and officers, except in certain circumstances involving certain
wrongful acts, such as a breach of the director's duty of loyalty or acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law.

       Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits us to
indemnify officers, directors or employees against expenses, including
attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection
with legal proceedings if the officer, director or employee acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best
interests and, with respect to any criminal act or proceeding, if he or she had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification
is not permitted as to any matter as to which the person is adjudged to be
liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or
suit was brought upon application determines that, despite the adjudication of
liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Individuals who successfully defend such an action are entitled to
indemnification against expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the
action.

       Our By-Laws, as amended, require us to indemnify directors and officers
against, to the fullest extent permitted by law, liabilities which they may
incur under the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph.

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 this 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 this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
            any increase or decresase in the 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
            the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
            aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
            20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
            in the "Calculation of the 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 this Registration
            Statement or any material change to such information in this
            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 registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this 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 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.

                                       4
(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 SEC 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.
