Interests
        of Named Experts and Counsel.
James
        A.
        Locke III, Esq. serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
        Mr. Locke is a partner in the law firm Nixon Peabody LLP, which firm has
        rendered an opinion regarding the legality of the securities offered by this
        Registration Statement. As a member of the Company's Board of Directors, Mr.

Certain

        as
        Exhibit 5.
Item
        6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The
        General Corporation Law of Delaware (Section 102) allows a corporation to
        eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the
        corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damage for a breach
        of
        his/her fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director
        breached his/her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in
        intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment
        of a
        dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate
        law
        or obtained an improper personal benefit. The Restated Certificate of
-
        3
        -
Incorporation
        of the Registrant contains a provision which eliminates directors
'
personal liability as set forth above.
The
        General Corporation Law of Delaware (Section 145) gives Delaware corporations
        broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and officers
        and
        those of affiliated corporations against expenses incurred in the defense
        of any
        lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been
        such
        directors or officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions; gives
        a
        director or officer who successfully defends an action the right to be so
        indemnified; and authorizes the Registrant to buy directors
'
and officers
'
liability insurance. Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other right
        to
        which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
        of
        stockholders or otherwise.
The
        Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification
        to the fullest extent authorized by Section 145 of the General Corporation
        Law
        of Delaware for directors, officers and employees of the Registrant and also
        to
        persons who are serving at the request of the Registrant as directors, officers
        or employees of other corporations (including subsidiaries); provided that,
        with
        respect to proceedings initiated by such indemnitee, indemnification shall
        be
        provided only if such proceedings were authorized by the Board of Directors.
        The
        right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which any person
        may acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders
        or otherwise.
The
        Registrant maintains a directors
'
and officers
'
liability insurance and corporate reimbursement policy insuring directors
        and
        officers against loss arising from claims made arising out of the performance
        of
        their duties.
