ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes the
Company to indemnify its directors and officers under specified circumstances.
The Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company provide that the
Company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, its
directors and officers (and may indemnify its employees and agents) against
liabilities (including expenses, judgments and settlements) incurred by them
in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to
which they are or may become parties and which arises out of their status as
directors, officers, or employees.
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates, to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law, liability of a director to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of such director's fiduciary
duty of care except for liability where a director (a) breaches his or her
duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) fails to act in good
faith or engages in intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (c)
authorizes payment of an illegal dividend or stock repurchase, or (d) obtains
an improper personal benefit. While liability for monetary damages has been
eliminated, equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission remain
available. In addition, a director is not relieved of his responsibilities
under any other law, including the federal securities laws.
 
  The directors and officers of the Company are insured within the limits and
subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of actions, suits, or proceedings and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits, or
proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such
directors or officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters,
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above or otherwise,
the Company 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted against the Company by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company 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.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
  1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
  this registration statement in reliance upon Rule
 
                                     II-5
<PAGE>
 
  430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant
  to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed
  to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
  effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
  shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
  securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
