        Not applicable.

     ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not applicable.

     ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended,
provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its request in such
capacity in another corporation or business association, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

          Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended,
permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

          Articles EIGHTH and NINTH of the registrant's certificate of
incorporation provide for the elimination of personal liability of a director
for breach of fiduciary duty as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

          Article VII of the registrant's by-laws, as amended, provides that the
registrant shall indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent

     ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

          The Exhibits to this registration statement on Form S-8 are listed in
the Exhibit Index of this registration statement, which Exhibit Index is
incorporated herein by reference.

     ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

          (a) The registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
          made of the securities registered hereby, 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 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; and

              (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 further 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
     Section 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.

          (c) 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
     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 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.
