          Item 4. Description of Securities

          Not applicable.

          Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

          Not applicable.

          Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          Section 145 of the Delaware General  Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as
other  employees and individuals  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees), judgments,  fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified   actions,   suits,    proceedings   whether   civil,   criminal,
administrative,  or investigative  (other than action by or in the right of
the corporation -- a "derivative  action"), if they acted in good faith and
in a manner  they  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the  corporation  and, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions,  except
that indemnification  only extends to expenses (including  attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection  with the defense or settlement of such action,  and
the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification
where the  person  seeking  indemnification  has been  found  liable to the
corporation.  The  statute  provides  that  it is not  exclusive  of  other
indemnification  that may be granted by a corporation's  charter,  by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.

          Article  VI of the  Company's  By-Laws  requires  the  Company to
indemnify  any person who was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a
party to or is involved  (including,  without limitation,  as a witness) in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative
dispute  mechanism,  investigation,  administrative  hearing  or any  other
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the Company)  brought by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director  or officer  of the  Company,  or,
while a  director  or  officer  of the  Company,  is or was  serving at the
request of the  Company as a  director  or officer of another  corporation,
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service
with  respect to an employee  benefits  plan  against  expenses  (including
attorneys'  fees,  judgments,   fines,  excise  taxes  under  the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  penalties  and amounts  paid in
settlement)  incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding  if he or she  acted in good  faith  and in a  manner  he or she
reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best  interests  of the
Company,  and, with respect to any criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

          Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation  that a director of the corporation  shall
not be  personally  liable  to the  corporation  or  its  stockholders  for
monetary  damages for breach of  fiduciary  duty as a director,  except for
liability  for (i) any  breach of the  director's  duty of  loyalty  to the
corporation or its  stockholders,  (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which  involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,
(iii)  payment  of  unlawful  dividends  or  unlawful  stock  purchases  or
redemptions,  or (iv) any  transaction  from which the director  derived an
improper personal benefit.

          Article  VI  of  the  Company's   Fourth   Amended  and  Restated
Certificate  of  Incorporation  (the  "Certificate")  provides  that to the
fullest extent that the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended,
permits the  limitation or  elimination  of the  liability of directors,  a
director  of  the  Company  shall  not be  liable  to  the  Company  or its
stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for  breach  of  fiduciary  duty as a
director.  Any  amendment to or repeal of, or adoption of any  provision of
the  Certificate  inconsistent  with,  such Article VI shall not  adversely
affect any right or  protection  of a director  of the  Company for or with
respect to any acts or omissions of such director  occurring  prior to such
amendment or repeal.

          The Company has entered into indemnification  agreements with its
directors and officers.  These  agreements  provide,  in general,  that the
Company will  indemnify  such  directors  and  officers  for, and hold them
harmless  from and  against,  any and all  amounts  paid in  settlement  or
incurred by, or assessed  against,  such directors and officers arising out
of or in  connection  with the service of such  directors and officers as a
director or officer of the Company or its Affiliates  (as defined  therein)
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

          The  Company   maintains   directors'  and  officers'   liability
insurance  which  provides  for  payment,  on behalf of the  directors  and
officers  of the Company and its  subsidiaries,  of certain  losses of such
persons  (other than  matters  uninsurable  under law) arising from claims,
including claims arising under the Securities Act, for acts or omissions by
such persons  while  acting as directors or officers of the Company  and/or
its subsidiaries, as the case may be.

          Item 9. Undertakings

          The Company hereby undertakes:

          (a)  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;

               (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 (i) and (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 with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant
          to  Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that are
          incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

          (b)  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.

          (c)  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.

          (d)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report
               pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  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.

          Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
Securities  Act may be permitted  to  directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Company  pursuant to the  provisions  described in Item 6 of
this  Registration  Statement,  or otherwise,  the Company has been 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 Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person of the Company 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 Company 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

          Section 145 of the Delaware General  Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as
other  employees and individuals  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees), judgments,  fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified   actions,   suits,    proceedings   whether   civil,   criminal,
administrative,  or investigative  (other than action by or in the right of
the corporation -- a "derivative  action"), if they acted in good faith and
in a manner  they  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the  corporation  and, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions,  except
that indemnification  only extends to expenses (including  attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection  with the defense or settlement of such action,  and
the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification
where the  person  seeking  indemnification  has been  found  liable to the
corporation.  The  statute  provides  that  it is not  exclusive  of  other
indemnification  that may be granted by a corporation's  charter,  by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.

          Article  VI of the  Company's  By-Laws  requires  the  Company to
indemnify  any person who was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a
party to or is involved  (including,  without limitation,  as a witness) in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative
dispute  mechanism,  investigation,  administrative  hearing  or any  other
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the Company)  brought by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director  or officer  of the  Company,  or,
while a  director  or  officer  of the  Company,  is or was  serving at the
request of the  Company as a  director  or officer of another  corporation,
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service
with  respect to an employee  benefits  plan  against  expenses  (including
attorneys'  fees,  judgments,   fines,  excise  taxes  under  the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  penalties  and amounts  paid in
settlement)  incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding  if he or she  acted in good  faith  and in a  manner  he or she
reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best  interests  of the
Company,  and, with respect to any criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

          Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation  that a director of the corporation  shall
not be  personally  liable  to the  corporation  or  its  stockholders  for
monetary  damages for breach of  fiduciary  duty as a director,  except for
liability  for (i) any  breach of the  director's  duty of  loyalty  to the
corporation or its  stockholders,  (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which  involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,
(iii)  payment  of  unlawful  dividends  or  unlawful  stock  purchases  or
redemptions,  or (iv) any  transaction  from which the director  derived an
improper personal benefit.

          Article  VI  of  the  Company's   Fourth   Amended  and  Restated
Certificate  of  Incorporation  (the  "Certificate")  provides  that to the
fullest extent that the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended,
permits the  limitation or  elimination  of the  liability of directors,  a
director  of  the  Company  shall  not be  liable  to  the  Company  or its
stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for  breach  of  fiduciary  duty as a
director.  Any  amendment to or repeal of, or adoption of any  provision of
the  Certificate  inconsistent  with,  such Article VI shall not  adversely
affect any right or  protection  of a director  of the  Company for or with
respect to any acts or omissions of such director  occurring  prior to such
amendment or repeal.

          The Company has entered into indemnification  agreements with its
directors and officers.  These  agreements  provide,  in general,  that the
Company will  indemnify  such  directors  and  officers  for, and hold them
harmless  from and  against,  any and all  amounts  paid in  settlement  or
incurred by, or assessed  against,  such directors and officers arising out
of or in  connection  with the service of such  directors and officers as a
director or officer of the Company or its Affiliates  (as defined  therein)
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

          The  Company   maintains   directors'  and  officers'   liability
insurance  which  provides  for  payment,  on behalf of the  directors  and
officers  of the Company and its  subsidiaries,  of certain  losses of such
persons  (other than  matters  uninsurable  under law) arising from claims,
including claims arising under the Securities Act, for acts or omissions by
such persons  while  acting as directors or officers of the Company  and/or
its subsidiaries, as the case may be.

               (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 (i) and (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 with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant
          to  Section  13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act that are
          incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

          (b)  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.

          (c)  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.

          (d)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Securities  Act, each filing of the Company's  annual report
               pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  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.

          Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the
Securities  Act may be permitted  to  directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Company  pursuant to the  provisions  described in Item 6 of
this  Registration  Statement,  or otherwise,  the Company has been 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 Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person of the Company 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 Company 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.
