        All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all
Common Stock registered hereby has been sold or which deregisters such Common
Stock then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in

hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents"). Any statement contained in
an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or

        Certain legal matters in connection with the Common Stock registered
hereby are being passed upon for the Company by Parker Duryee Rosoff & Haft A
Professional Corporation, 529 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Article 7 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company contains
the following provision which provides for the indemnification of directors and
officers of the Company:

        7. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
        provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
        the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons
        whom it shall have power to indemnify under such provisions from and
        against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters
        referred to in or covered by such provisions, and the indemnification
        provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
        which those indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement,
        vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to
        action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity
        while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has
        ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
        the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
        The Corporation shall pay in advance of the final disposition of such
        action, suit or proceeding any and all expenses incurred by such
        Indemnitee upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
        Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
        that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
        authorized in this Article 7.

        In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware ("DGCL"), Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
with certain limited exceptions set forth in Section 102(b)(7).

        The Company intends to enter into an agreement with each of its officers
and directors pursuant to which they will be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted under the DGCL. The Company may also obtain and maintain its own
insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers and the directors and
officers of its subsidiaries, insuring such persons against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the securities laws.

        5(a) Opinion of Parker Duryee Rosoff and Haft as to the legality of the
             Common Stock registered hereby

        5(b) The Company has submitted the Plan to the Internal Revenue
             Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes
             required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.

     23(a)   Consent of Parker Duryee Rosoff & Haft (Reference is made to
             Exhibit 5 herein)

     23(b)   Consent of Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP

     23(c)   Consent of Giordano, Cohen, Shafman, Haimann & Co., P.A.


Item 9. Undertakings.

The Company 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 "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; 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;


                                        3

<PAGE>



provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above 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 Company 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 hereby which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes 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 herein, 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 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company and the provisions of Delaware law described under Item 6 above, the
Company 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 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 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Article 7 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company contains
the following provision which provides for the indemnification of directors and
officers of the Company:

        7. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
        provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
        the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons
        whom it shall have power to indemnify under such provisions from and
        against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters
        referred to in or covered by such provisions, and the indemnification
        provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
        which those indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement,
        vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to
        action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity
        while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has
        ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
        the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
        The Corporation shall pay in advance of the final disposition of such
        action, suit or proceeding any and all expenses incurred by such
        Indemnitee upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
        Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
        that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
        authorized in this Article 7.

        In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware ("DGCL"), Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director

and directors pursuant to which they will be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted under the DGCL. The Company may also obtain and maintain its own
insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers and the directors and
officers of its subsidiaries, insuring such persons against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the securities laws.

        5(b) The Company has submitted the Plan to the Internal Revenue
             Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes
             required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.

     23(a)   Consent of Parker Duryee Rosoff & Haft (Reference is made to
             Exhibit 5 herein)

     23(b)   Consent of Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP

     23(c)   Consent of Giordano, Cohen, Shafman, Haimann & Co., P.A.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The Company 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 "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; 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;

                                        3
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above 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 Company 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 hereby which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes 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 herein, 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 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company and the provisions of Delaware law described under Item 6 above, the
Company 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 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.
