Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

       Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons
who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or
completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. The indemnity may include 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,
provided that such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall indemnify directors and officers made party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, including appeals, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. Such indemnification shall
continue after an individual ceases to be an officer or director and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such
person. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is
not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

      The indemnification rights conferred by the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company are not exclusive of any other right to which a
person seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The Company will
also provide liability insurance for the directors and officers for certain

                                      -4-

losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their
capacities as directors or officers.

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 (the "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 (except to the extent the information required to be
included by clauses (i) or (ii) is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement);

       (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.

(2)  That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

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 Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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.

Item 4.  Description of Securities

     Not required.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     David J. Lewinter, Esq., President and Secretary of the Company has
rendered an opinion as to the legality of the Common Stock offered hereby.

                                      -3-

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

       Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons
who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or
completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. The indemnity may include 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,
provided that such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or
director actually and reasonably incurred.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall indemnify directors and officers made party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, including appeals, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. Such indemnification shall
continue after an individual ceases to be an officer or director and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such
person. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a
director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is
not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

      The indemnification rights conferred by the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company are not exclusive of any other right to which a
person seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The Company will
also provide liability insurance for the directors and officers for certain

                                      -4-
losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their
capacities as directors or officers.

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 (the "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 (except to the extent the information required to be
included by clauses (i) or (ii) is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement);

       (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.

(2)  That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration

                                      -5-
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 Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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.
