Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Indemnification

        The registrant's  certificate of incorporation  generally  provides that
its  directors  will  have  no  personal  liability  to  the  registrant  or its
stockholders  for monetary  damages  resulting from breaches of their  fiduciary
duties.  However, the directors  nonetheless remain liable for breaches of their
duty of loyalty to the registrant and its  stockholders,  as well as for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation  of law and  transactions  from  which  a  director  derives  improper
personal benefit.

        Section 174 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law ("Law")  provides
that any director against whom a claim shall be successfully asserted under said
section for an unlawful  payment of a dividend or an unlawful  stock purchase or
redemption  in certain  circumstances  shall be entitled to be subrogated to the
rights of the corporation against  stockholders who received the dividend on, or
assets for the sale or redemption  of, their stock with  knowledge that the same
was  unlawful.  Said  section  also  provides  that any such  director  shall be
entitled to contribution  from the other directors who voted for or concurred in
the unlawful dividend, stock purchase, or redemption.

        The registrant's  certificate of  incorporation  and bylaws provide that
the  registrant  shall  indemnify  its officers and directors to the full extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Law, as amended from time to time.  Said Section
145 authorizes a corporation, under certain conditions, to indemnify each 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 (including an employee benefit plan), against certain expenses,
judgments,  fines,  and  amounts  paid in  settlement  actually  and  reasonably
incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative,  or investigative
in which he was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party by reason of
being or having been such director,  officer, employee, or agent. In addition to
the  indemnification  authorized  by Section  145 of the Law,  the  registrant's
bylaws  provide that the  registrant  shall  indemnify  any natural  person (not
including non-employee lawyers, accountants,  actuaries, investment advisers, or
arbitrators  acting  in such  capacity)  who is or was  serving  in a  fiduciary
capacity  with respect to one of the  registrant's  employee  benefit or welfare
plans  or who is or  was  performing  any  service  or  duty  on  behalf  of the
registrant with respect to such a plan, against all expenses,  judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement  incurred by such person in  connection  with any
action or proceeding  arising out of such service or performance,  to the extent
such expenses and amounts are insurable but not covered by collectible insurance
or otherwise  indemnified.  Such  indemnification  shall not be available to any
person who participated in or knowingly  failed to take appropriate  action with
respect to any violation of any  responsibilities  or  obligations  imposed upon
fiduciaries by law, knowing such to be a violation of such  responsibilities  or
obligations.

        Insurance

        The registrant  maintains  directors' and officers'  liability insurance
under which the registrant's directors and officers are insured against loss (as
defined)  as a result of claims  brought  against  them based upon their acts or
omissions in such capacities.

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 of 1933 ("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;

               (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  registrant
pursuant  to  Section  13 or  15(d)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934
("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 that 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 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.


        (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  provisions  described  in Item 6 above,  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 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. The
undertaking  of the  registrant  in the  preceding  sentence  does not  apply to
insurance against liability arising under the Securities Act.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Indemnification

        The registrant's  certificate of incorporation  generally  provides that
its  directors  will  have  no  personal  liability  to  the  registrant  or its
stockholders  for monetary  damages  resulting from breaches of their  fiduciary
duties.  However, the directors  nonetheless remain liable for breaches of their
duty of loyalty to the registrant and its  stockholders,  as well as for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation  of law and  transactions  from  which  a  director  derives  improper
personal benefit.

        Section 174 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law ("Law")  provides
that any director against whom a claim shall be successfully asserted under said
section for an unlawful  payment of a dividend or an unlawful  stock purchase or
redemption  in certain  circumstances  shall be entitled to be subrogated to the
rights of the corporation against  stockholders who received the dividend on, or
assets for the sale or redemption  of, their stock with  knowledge that the same
was  unlawful.  Said  section  also  provides  that any such  director  shall be
entitled to contribution  from the other directors who voted for or concurred in
the unlawful dividend, stock purchase, or redemption.

        The registrant's  certificate of  incorporation  and bylaws provide that
the  registrant  shall  indemnify  its officers and directors to the full extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Law, as amended from time to time.  Said Section
145 authorizes a corporation, under certain conditions, to indemnify each 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 (including an employee benefit plan), against certain expenses,
judgments,  fines,  and  amounts  paid in  settlement  actually  and  reasonably
incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative,  or investigative
in which he was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party by reason of
being or having been such director,  officer, employee, or agent. In addition to
the  indemnification  authorized  by Section  145 of the Law,  the  registrant's
bylaws  provide that the  registrant  shall  indemnify  any natural  person (not
including non-employee lawyers, accountants,  actuaries, investment advisers, or
arbitrators  acting  in such  capacity)  who is or was  serving  in a  fiduciary
capacity  with respect to one of the  registrant's  employee  benefit or welfare
plans  or who is or  was  performing  any  service  or  duty  on  behalf  of the
registrant with respect to such a plan, against all expenses,  judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement  incurred by such person in  connection  with any
action or proceeding  arising out of such service or performance,  to the extent
such expenses and amounts are insurable but not covered by collectible insurance
or otherwise  indemnified.  Such  indemnification  shall not be available to any
person who participated in or knowingly  failed to take appropriate  action with
respect to any violation of any  responsibilities  or  obligations  imposed upon
fiduciaries by law, knowing such to be a violation of such  responsibilities  or
obligations.

        Insurance

        The registrant  maintains  directors' and officers'  liability insurance
under which the registrant's directors and officers are insured against loss (as
defined)  as a result of claims  brought  against  them based upon their acts or
omissions in such capacities.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

        Not applicable.

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 of 1933 ("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;

               (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  registrant
pursuant  to  Section  13 or  15(d)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934
("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 that 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 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.

        (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  provisions  described  in Item 6 above,  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 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. The
undertaking  of the  registrant  in the  preceding  sentence  does not  apply to
insurance against liability arising under the Securities Act.
