ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result
of any suit (other than a suit brought by or in the right of the corporation)
brought against them in their capacity as such, if they acted in good faith and
in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
also provides that directors, officers, employees and agents may also be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by them in
connection with a suit brought by or in the right of the corporation if they
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made, unless otherwise determined by the court, if such person was
adjudged liable to the corporation.

      The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also provides that
the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its by-laws,
disinterested directors' vote, stockholders' vote, agreement or otherwise.

      The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also provides
corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, or
arising out of his or her status, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above.

      Article IX of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article V of the Company's By-laws provide for mandatory
indemnification of the Company's directors and officers, and permissible
indemnification of its employees and other agents, to the maximum extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Company
has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers
that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify these individuals
against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

      The above discussion of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is
qualified in its entirety by such statutes, Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws and indemnification agreements.

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 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, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
                  Section 13(a) or 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.

            (c)   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




                                      II-3
<PAGE>



                  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.

      Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result
of any suit (other than a suit brought by or in the right of the corporation)
brought against them in their capacity as such, if they acted in good faith and
in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
also provides that directors, officers, employees and agents may also be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by them in
connection with a suit brought by or in the right of the corporation if they
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made, unless otherwise determined by the court, if such person was
adjudged liable to the corporation.

      The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also provides that
the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its by-laws,
disinterested directors' vote, stockholders' vote, agreement or otherwise.

      The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also provides
corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity, or
arising out of his or her status, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above.

      Article IX of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article V of the Company's By-laws provide for mandatory
indemnification of the Company's directors and officers, and permissible
indemnification of its employees and other agents, to the maximum extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Company
has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers
that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify these individuals
against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

      The above discussion of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is
qualified in its entirety by such statutes, Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, By-laws and indemnification agreements.

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 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, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
                  Section 13(a) or 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.

            (c)   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

                                      II-3
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.

                                      II-4
