ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The  Registrant's   Certificate  of  Incorporation   contains  a  provision
eliminating   or  limiting   director   liability  to  the  Registrant  and  its
stockholders  for  monetary  damages  arising  from  acts  or  omissions  in the
director's capacity as director.  The provision does not, however,  eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's
duty  of  loyalty  to the  Registrant  or its  stockholders,  (ii)  for  acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve  intentional  misconduct or knowing
violation  of the law,  (iii) under the New Jersey  statutory  provision  making
directors personally liable, under a negligence standard, for unlawful dividends
or unlawful  stock  purchases or redemptions  or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derived an improper personal  benefit.  This provision offers
persons who serve on the Board of Directors of the Registrant protection against
awards of monetary damages resulting from breaches of their duty of care (except
as  indicated  above).  As a  result  of  this  provision,  the  ability  of the
Registrant or a stockholder thereof to successfully  prosecute an action against
a director  for breach of his duty of care is limited.  However,  the  provision
does not affect the availability of equitable  remedies such as an injunction or
rescission  based upon a director's  breach of his duty of care.  The Securities
and Exchange  Commission  has taken the position that the provision will have no
effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws.

     In addition,  the  Registrant's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and Bylaws
provide for mandatory  indemnification rights, subject to limited exceptions, to
any director or officer of the  Registrant  who by reason of the fact that he or
she is a  director  or  officer  of  the  Registrant,  is  involved  in a  legal
proceeding of any nature. Such indemnification  rights include reimbursement for
expenses incurred by such director, officer, employee or agent in advance of the
final deposition of such proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

     Each of the  officers  and  directors  of the  Company is  insured  against
certain  liabilities  which he or she might  incur in his or her  capacity as an
officer or director pursuant to a Directors and Officers Liability Policy issued
by Federal Insurance Company of Warren,  New Jersey.  The general effect of this
policy is that if during the policy  period any claim or claims are made against
the officers  and  directors  of the Company or any of them  individually  for a
Wrongful  Act (as defined in the policy)  while  acting in their  individual  or
collective capacities as directors or officers,  and the Company has indemnified
them,  the insurer will pay for 100% of any Loss (as defined in the policy).  In
those  instances  where the officers and  directors are not  indemnified  by the
Company, the insurer will pay on behalf of the officers and directors

                                      II-1

<PAGE>



of the Company or any of them, their executors, administrators, or assigns, 100%
of the Loss. The insurer's  combined limit of liability is $1,000,000 during any
policy year and $1,000,000 for any single Loss. "Wrongful Act" is defined as any
error,  misstatement,  misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or breach of
duty  actually or allegedly  committed or attempted by the officers or directors
of the Company while acting in their  individual or collective  capacities or in
any matter,  not  excluded by the terms and  conditions  of the policy,  claimed
against them by reason of their being directors or officers of the Company.  The
term  "Loss" is defined as any amount  which the  Company  shall be  required or
permitted by law to pay to such person as  indemnity  for a claim or claims made
against them for "Wrongful Acts," and includes damages, judgments,  settlements,
costs,  charges,  and  expenses  incurred in the  defense of  actions,  suits or
proceedings and appeals therefrom,  except that the term "Loss" does not include
fines or  penalties  imposed by law or matters  which may be deemed  uninsurable
under the law pursuant to which the policy shall be construed.

            George Harvey .............................       14,258


     The  Company  relies on Section  4(2) of the  Securities  Act in making the
foregoing  private  placements.  No offer was made to any person  other than the
existing  stockholders of the  Predecessor and the selling  stockholders of Roda
Limited.

     No underwriters are involved nor will any commissions be paid in connection
with the foregoing transactions.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers,  and  controlling  persons  of the
Registrant  pursuant to Item 14 hereof,  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 controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, 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  Securities  Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned Registrant further undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of  determining  any liability  under the  Securities
     Act, the information  omitted from the form of Prospectus  filed as part of
     this  Registration  Statement in reliance upon Rule 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, 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 the offering of such securities at the time shall be
     deemed to be bona fide offering thereof.

     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 Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
