ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         The law firm of Dilworth Paxson LLP has rendered an opinion regarding
the legality of the Shares registered hereunder. As of June 9, 2000, certain
partners of Dilworth Paxson LLP beneficially owned in the aggregate
approximately 45,994 shares of Common Stock.


ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

         The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Certificate of Incorporation") contains certain provisions permitted under the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, as amended ("Delaware GCL"), which
eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for a breach
of the director's fiduciary duty, except for: (i) breach of a director's duty of
loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the unlawful payment of
dividends, stock purchase or stock redemption, or (iv) any transaction from
which the director derives any improper personal benefit. The Certificate of
Incorporation also contains provisions indemnifying the Company's directors,
officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware GCL. The
Company believes that these provisions will assist the Company in attracting and
retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors, officers and employees.

         The Company's directors and officers are also insured against certain
liabilities under a directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained
by the Company.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

         A.   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 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 herein, 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 end of the offering.

         B.   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 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 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 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.
