ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     Section 57 of the British Virgin Islands International Business Companies
Ordinance provides as follows:
 
     (1) Subject to subsection (2) and any limitations in its memorandum or
articles, a company incorporated under this Ordinance may indemnify against all
expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal,
administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:
 
          (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
     threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
     administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is
     or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the company; or
 
          (b) is or was, at the request of the company, serving as a director,
     officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for,
     another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
 
     (2) Subsection (1) only applies to a person referred to in that subsection
if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests
of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person has no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
     (3) The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly
and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company and as to
whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful is in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of this
section, unless a question of law is involved.
 
     (4) The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a
view to the best interests of the company or that the person had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
     The 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;
 
     (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;
 
     (4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to
include any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of this chapter at the
start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial
statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Act
need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus,
by means of a post-effective amendment,
 
                                      II-4
<PAGE>   8
 
financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a) (4) and other
information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is
at least as current as the date of those financial statements.
 
     (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "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 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 of 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.
 
     (6) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters, at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
