Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          -------------------------
     Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------
     Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

     Article ELEVENTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides
for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant against any and
all liabilities, judgments, fines and reasonable settlements, costs, expenses
and attorneys' fees incurred in any actual, threatened or potential proceeding,
except to the extent that such indemnification is limited by Delaware law and
such law cannot be varied by contract or bylaw.  Article ELEVENTH also provides
for the authority to purchase insurance with respect thereto.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnity under certain
circumstances to directors and officers, when made, or threatened to be made,
parties to certain proceedings by reason of such status with the corporation,
against judgments, fines, settlements and expenses, including attorneys' fees. 
In addition, under certain circumstances such persons may be indemnified
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defense of a proceeding by
or on behalf of the corporation.  Similarly, the corporation, under certain
circumstances, is authorized to indemnify directors and officers of other
corporations or enterprises who are serving as such at the request of the
corporation, when such persons are made, or threatened to be made, parties to
certain proceedings by reason of such status, against judgments, fines,
settlements and expenses, including attorneys' fees; and under certain
circumstances, such persons may be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a
proceeding by or in the right of such other corporation or enterprise. 
Indemnification is permitted where such person (i) was acting in good faith,
(ii) was acting in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation or other corporation or enterprise, as
appropriate, (iii) with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (iv) was not adjudged to be
liable to the corporation or other corporation or enterprise (unless the court
where the proceeding was brought determines that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity).

     Unless ordered by a court, indemnification may be made only following a
determination that such indemnification is permissible because the person being
indemnified has met the requisite standard of conduct.  Such determination may
be made (i) by the corporation's board of directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to such proceeding; or
(ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained or the quorum so directs, then by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iii) by the stockholders.

     Section 145 also permits expenses incurred by directors and officers in
defending a proceeding to be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he
is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses.

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 thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;
               notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
               volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
               and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
               maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
               prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
               in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
               more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
               set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
               effective registration statement.

                         (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information 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 that is incorporated by
      reference in the 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.

(c)   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 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 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 of expenses
                                      II-4
<PAGE>
      incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person 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 Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------
     Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

     Article ELEVENTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides
for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant against any and
all liabilities, judgments, fines and reasonable settlements, costs, expenses
and attorneys' fees incurred in any actual, threatened or potential proceeding,
except to the extent that such indemnification is limited by Delaware law and
such law cannot be varied by contract or bylaw.  Article ELEVENTH also provides
for the authority to purchase insurance with respect thereto.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnity under certain
circumstances to directors and officers, when made, or threatened to be made,
parties to certain proceedings by reason of such status with the corporation,
against judgments, fines, settlements and expenses, including attorneys' fees. 
In addition, under certain circumstances such persons may be indemnified
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defense of a proceeding by
or on behalf of the corporation.  Similarly, the corporation, under certain
circumstances, is authorized to indemnify directors and officers of other
corporations or enterprises who are serving as such at the request of the
corporation, when such persons are made, or threatened to be made, parties to
certain proceedings by reason of such status, against judgments, fines,
settlements and expenses, including attorneys' fees; and under certain
circumstances, such persons may be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a
proceeding by or in the right of such other corporation or enterprise. 
Indemnification is permitted where such person (i) was acting in good faith,
(ii) was acting in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation or other corporation or enterprise, as
appropriate, (iii) with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (iv) was not adjudged to be
liable to the corporation or other corporation or enterprise (unless the court
where the proceeding was brought determines that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity).

     Unless ordered by a court, indemnification may be made only following a
determination that such indemnification is permissible because the person being
indemnified has met the requisite standard of conduct.  Such determination may
be made (i) by the corporation's board of directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to such proceeding; or
(ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained or the quorum so directs, then by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iii) by the stockholders.

     Section 145 also permits expenses incurred by directors and officers in
defending a proceeding to be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he
is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses.

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 thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;
               notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
               volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
               and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
               maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
               prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
               in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
               more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
               set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
               effective registration statement.

                         (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information 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 that is incorporated by
      reference in the 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.

(c)   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 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 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 of expenses
                                      II-4
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person 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.

                                    II-5
