         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     (a) The Delaware General Corporation Law ("GCL") (Section 145) gives
Delaware corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former

of being or having been such directors or officers, subject to specified
conditions and exclusions, gives a director or officer who successfully defends

exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

     (b) Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
permits, and Article VI of the By-Laws of the Registrant provides for,
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

<PAGE>


     (c) In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware GCL, the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors shall not be

         Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         See Index to Exhibits which is incorporated herein by reference.

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 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;

                 (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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
                 apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form
                 S-8, and 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 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.

         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 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by



<PAGE>

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.

         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
Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     (a) The Delaware General Corporation Law ("GCL") (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 rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

     (b) Article Eleventh of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant
permits, and Article VI of the By-Laws of the Registrant provides for,
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
(c) In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware GCL, the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors shall not be
liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the Delaware GCL as the same exists or may be amended.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         See Index to Exhibits which is incorporated herein by reference.

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 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;

                 (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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
                 apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form
                 S-8, and 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 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.

         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 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to 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.

         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
Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
