ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


     Under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "GCLD"), a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of such person's service as a director of officer of the corporation,
or such person's service, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by such
person ("Expenses"), and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that
are actually and reasonably incurred by such person, in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action; provided that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was
unlawful.  Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person
referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement
of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests, if such person has been judged
liable to the corporation, indemnification is only permitted to the extent that
the adjudicating court (or the court in which the action was brought)
determines, despite the adjudication of liability, that such indemnification is
proper.  The determination as to whether a person seeking indemnification has
met the required standard of conduct is to be made (1) by a majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested members of the board of directors, (2) by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, if such a quorum does not exist or if the
disinterested directors so direct, or (3) by the stockholders.  The GCLD also
provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer, employee or
agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any
proceeding covered by the statute.  In addition, the GCLD provides for the
general authorization of advancement of a director's or officer's litigation
expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the board
of directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise.

     The registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated By-laws provide that the registrant shall indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.

     The registrant also has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors
and certain of its officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in
the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
By-laws.  These agreements provide, among other things, that the registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers for all direct and indirect expenses and
costs (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and related
disbursements, other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time
spent by such persons for which they are not otherwise compensated by the
registrant or any third person) and

                                        3

<PAGE>

liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgements,
fines and settlement fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with either the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, including any
action by or in the right of the corporation, arising out of such person's
services as a director, officer, employee or other agent of the registrant, any
subsidiary of the registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the
person provides services at the request of the registrant.  The registrant
believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and
retain talented and experienced directors and officers.


     The registrant maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its
directors and 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 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 purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment to 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;

     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; and

     4.   that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections 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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions 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.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "GCLD"), a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of such person's service as a director of officer of the corporation,
or such person's service, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by such
person ("Expenses"), and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that
are actually and reasonably incurred by such person, in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action; provided that such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was
unlawful.  Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person
referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement
of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests, if such person has been judged
liable to the corporation, indemnification is only permitted to the extent that
the adjudicating court (or the court in which the action was brought)
determines, despite the adjudication of liability, that such indemnification is
proper.  The determination as to whether a person seeking indemnification has
met the required standard of conduct is to be made (1) by a majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested members of the board of directors, (2) by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, if such a quorum does not exist or if the
disinterested directors so direct, or (3) by the stockholders.  The GCLD also
provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer, employee or
agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any
proceeding covered by the statute.  In addition, the GCLD provides for the
general authorization of advancement of a director's or officer's litigation
expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the board
of directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise.

     The registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated By-laws provide that the registrant shall indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.

     The registrant also has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors
and certain of its officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in
the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
By-laws.  These agreements provide, among other things, that the registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers for all direct and indirect expenses and
costs (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and related
disbursements, other out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time
spent by such persons for which they are not otherwise compensated by the
registrant or any third person) and

                                        3
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgements,
fines and settlement fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with either the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, including any
action by or in the right of the corporation, arising out of such person's
services as a director, officer, employee or other agent of the registrant, any
subsidiary of the registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the
person provides services at the request of the registrant.  The registrant
believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and
retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

     The registrant maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its
directors and 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 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 purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment to 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;

     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; and

     4.   that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections 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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions 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.
