ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

     Article 6 of the Registrant's restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides as follows:

     "(a) A director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of 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 an improper personal
benefit.

     (b) Each director or officer of the corporation who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is in any way involved in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (including without limitation any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor) (hereinafter a "proceeding"), including any
appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he
or she is a legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation or of a subsidiary of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, or was a director or officer for a foreign or domestic corporation
which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another entity or
enterprise at the request of the predecessor corporation, or by reason of
anything done or not done in such capacity, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation, and the corporation shall advance all expenses
incurred by any such person in connection with any such proceeding prior to its
final determination, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. In any proceeding against the corporation to enforce these
rights, such person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the
corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. The
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article
shall be presumed to have been relied upon by directors and officers of the
corporation in serving or continuing to serve the corporation and shall been
enforceable as contract rights. Said rights shall not be exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The
corporation may, upon written demand presented by a director or officer of the
corporation or of a subsidiary of the corporation, or by a person serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, enter into contracts to provide such persons with specific rights to
indemnification, which contracts may confer rights and protections to the
maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The
corporation may create trust funds, grant security interests, obtain letters of
credit, or use other means to ensure payment of such amounts as may be necessary
to perform the obligations provided for in this Article 6 or in any such
contract."

     The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the
Registrant and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on
behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for
breach of fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting
from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in certain limited
situations. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of the
Registrant or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction
or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. These
provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities
law.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being, 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 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;

          PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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
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 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 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.

Stock. The Registrant's Common Stock is registered under section 12 of the
Exchange Act and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, no

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

     Article 6 of the Registrant's restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides as follows:

     "(a) A director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of 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 an improper personal
benefit.

     (b) Each director or officer of the corporation who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is in any way involved in any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (including without limitation any
action, suit or proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor) (hereinafter a "proceeding"), including any
appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he
or she is a legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
corporation or of a subsidiary of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, or was a director or officer for a foreign or domestic corporation
which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another entity or
enterprise at the request of the predecessor corporation, or by reason of
anything done or not done in such capacity, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the corporation, and the corporation shall advance all expenses
incurred by any such person in connection with any such proceeding prior to its
final determination, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. In any proceeding against the corporation to enforce these
rights, such person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the
corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. The
rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article
shall be presumed to have been relied upon by directors and officers of the
corporation in serving or continuing to serve the corporation and shall been
enforceable as contract rights. Said rights shall not be exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The
corporation may, upon written demand presented by a director or officer of the
corporation or of a subsidiary of the corporation, or by a person serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another entity or
enterprise, enter into contracts to provide such persons with specific rights to
indemnification, which contracts may confer rights and protections to the
maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The
corporation may create trust funds, grant security interests, obtain letters of
credit, or use other means to ensure payment of such amounts as may be necessary
to perform the obligations provided for in this Article 6 or in any such
contract."

     The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the
Registrant and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on
behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for
breach of fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting
from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in certain limited
situations. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of the
Registrant or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction
or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. These
provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities
law.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being, 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 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;

          PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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
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 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 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.

                                      -4-
