Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law of the State of Delaware contains
provisions entitling directors and officers of the registrant to indemnification
from judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses,
including attorney's fees, as the result of an action or proceeding in which
they may be involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of
the registrant provided said officers or directors acted in good faith and in a
manner he 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 his conduct was unlawful. Additionally, Articles
"VIII" and "IX" of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation entitled
"Limitation on Directors Liability" and "Indemnification" respectively, as
originally filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 3, 1988 contain
various provisions applicable hereto and reading as follows:

         "ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS LIABILITY

         A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
         Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of


                                     2 of 10
<PAGE>   3
         fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
         of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation 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, or (iv) for
         any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal
         benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after
         approval by the stockholders of this article to authorize corporate
         action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of
         directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be
         eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, as so amended.

         Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
         stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
         protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of
         such repeal or modification."

         "ARTICLE IX - INDEMNIFICATION

         (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or
         is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any
         action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that
         he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation
         or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
         officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
         joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
         respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an "indemnitee"),
         whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
         capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
         capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall
         be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
         extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
         exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
         amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
         Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights that such law
         permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against
         all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
         fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement)
         reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
         therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee
         who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
         inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and
         administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in
         paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to
         indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in
         connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
         indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by
         the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification
         conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include
         the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
         defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition
         (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if
         the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of
         expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director
         or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
         rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to
         an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the
         Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to
         repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by
         final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal
         that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
         expenses under this Article or otherwise (hereinafter an
         "undertaking").


                                     3 of 10
<PAGE>   4
         (b) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a)
         of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty
         days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except
         in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case
         the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any
         time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the
         unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
         such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an
         advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
         indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting
         or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to
         enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought
         by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it
         shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the Corporation to
         recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
         undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses
         upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the
         applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
         Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
         Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to
         have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that
         indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
         because the indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct set
         forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
         determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
         independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has
         not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption
         that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or,
         in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to
         such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right
         hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
         pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the
         indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of
         expenses under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

         (c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
         advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be
         exclusive of any other rights which any persons may have or hereafter
         acquire under any statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws,
         agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterest directors or otherwise.

         (d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
         to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
         Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
         or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or
         not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
         against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General
         Corporation Law.

         (e) Indemnification of Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may,
         to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
         grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses, to
         any agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of
         this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of
         expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

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;

                           (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 thereto) which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement;
                           and

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                           respect to the plan of distribution not previously
                           disclosed in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall 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 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.

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 Section 
         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
         herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
         deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
         be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus
         is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is
         incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to
         and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 124c-3 under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial
         information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is
         not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered
         to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
         quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
         prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

         (h)  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 provisions
         described in Item 6, 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
         it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
         governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law of the State of Delaware contains
provisions entitling directors and officers of the registrant to indemnification
from judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses,
including attorney's fees, as the result of an action or proceeding in which
they may be involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of
the registrant provided said officers or directors acted in good faith and in a
manner he 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 his conduct was unlawful. Additionally, Articles
"VIII" and "IX" of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation entitled
"Limitation on Directors Liability" and "Indemnification" respectively, as
originally filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 3, 1988 contain
various provisions applicable hereto and reading as follows:

         "ARTICLE VIII - LIMITATION ON DIRECTORS LIABILITY

         A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
         Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of

                                     2 of 10
3
         fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
         of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation 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, or (iv) for
         any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal
         benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after
         approval by the stockholders of this article to authorize corporate
         action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of
         directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be
         eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, as so amended.

         Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
         stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
         protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of
         such repeal or modification."

         "ARTICLE IX - INDEMNIFICATION

         (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or
         is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any
         action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
         investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that
         he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation
         or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
         officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
         joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
         respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an "indemnitee"),
         whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
         capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
         capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall
         be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
         extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
         exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
         amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
         Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights that such law
         permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against
         all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
         fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement)
         reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
         therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee
         who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
         inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and
         administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in
         paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to
         indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in
         connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
         indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by
         the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification
         conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include
         the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
         defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition
         (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if
         the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of
         expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director
         or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
         rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to
         an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the
         Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to
         repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by
         final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal
         that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such
         expenses under this Article or otherwise (hereinafter an
         "undertaking").

                                     3 of 10

         (b) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a)
         of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty
         days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except
         in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case
         the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any
         time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the
         unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
         such suit or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an
         advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the
         indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting
         or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to
         enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought
         by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it
         shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the Corporation to
         recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
         undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses
         upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the
         applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
         Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its
         Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to
         have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that
         indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
         because the indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct set
         forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
         determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
         independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has
         not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption
         that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or,
         in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to
         such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right
         hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
         pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the
         indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of
         expenses under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

         (c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
         advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be
         exclusive of any other rights which any persons may have or hereafter
         acquire under any statute, this Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws,
         agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterest directors or otherwise.

         (d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
         to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
         Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
         or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or
         not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
         against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General
         Corporation Law.

         (e) Indemnification of Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may,
         to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
         grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses, to
         any agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of
         this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of
         expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

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;

                           (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 thereto) which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement;
                           and

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                           respect to the plan of distribution not previously
                           disclosed in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall 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 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.

         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 Section 
         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
         herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
         deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
         be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus
         is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is
         incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to
         and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 124c-3 under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial
         information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is
         not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered
         to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
         quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
         prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

                                     5 of 10

         (h)  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 provisions
         described in Item 6, 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
