ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Registrant, directors and officers of the

expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or settlement amounts
incurred or paid by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or
on behalf of the Registrant, on account of their service as an officer or
director of the Registrant. The Bylaws further provide that the rights conferred
under such Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which such
persons may be entitled under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Registrant, as amended, precludes, with certain exceptions, the
Registrant and its stockholders from recovering monetary damages from directors
for business decisions that breach such directors' fiduciary duty.

         The Registrant also maintains directors and officers insurance policies
which insure directors and officers against losses arising from certain wrongful
acts in their official capacities and reimburses the Registrant for such loss
for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. In
addition, the Registrant has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each
of its directors and officers whereby the Registrant has agreed to indemnify
each director and officer from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities incurred by such director or officer while acting in his
or her official capacity.

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:

                     (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. 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 20 percent 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 this Registration
       Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
       Statement;

       PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if
       the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the
       information to be included in a


                                       4

<PAGE>

       post-effective amendment to those paragraphs is contained in periodic
       reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
       pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
       incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

              (2)    That, for purposes 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 which remain unsold at
       the termination of the offering.

              The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
       determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
       Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
       the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
       benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
       otherwise, the Registrant 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 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.

document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Registrant, directors and officers of the
Registrant are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or settlement amounts
incurred or paid by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or
on behalf of the Registrant, on account of their service as an officer or
director of the Registrant. The Bylaws further provide that the rights conferred
under such Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which such
persons may be entitled under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Registrant, as amended, precludes, with certain exceptions, the
Registrant and its stockholders from recovering monetary damages from directors
for business decisions that breach such directors' fiduciary duty.

         The Registrant also maintains directors and officers insurance policies
which insure directors and officers against losses arising from certain wrongful
acts in their official capacities and reimburses the Registrant for such loss
for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. In
addition, the Registrant has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each
of its directors and officers whereby the Registrant has agreed to indemnify
each director and officer from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities incurred by such director or officer while acting in his
or her official capacity.

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:

                     (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. 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 20 percent 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 this Registration
       Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
       Statement;

       PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if
       the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the
       information to be included in a

                                       4
post-effective amendment to those paragraphs is contained in periodic
       reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
       pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
       incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

              (2)    That, for purposes 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 which remain unsold at
       the termination of the offering.

              The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
       determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
       Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
       the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
       benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
       otherwise, the Registrant 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 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.

                                       5
