ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

          Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
permits a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or
eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of a director
to the  corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  for breach of
fiduciary  duty,  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 DGCL, or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derived an improper  personal  benefit.  Article SEVEN of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation  provides that no director of
the Registrant shall be personally  liable to the Registrant or its stockholders
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 102(b)(7).

          Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to
indemnify  directors and officers under certain  prescribed  circumstances  and,
subject to certain  limitations,  against certain costs and expenses,  including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which any of them is a party by reason of being a  director  or  officer  of the
Registrant  if it is  determined  that  the  director  or the  officer  acted in
accordance  with the applicable  standard of conduct set forth in such statutory
provision.   Article  EIGHT  of  the   Registrant's





                                     II - 1
<PAGE>


Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  provides that any person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise  involved in
any action,  suit or proceeding,  whether  civil,  criminal,  administrative  or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an
officer of the  Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant
as a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent  of  another  corporation  or of a
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service with
respect to an employee  benefit  plan,  whether the basis of such  proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any  capacity  while  serving as a director,  officer,  employee or agent,
shall be  indemnified  and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL.

          The  Registrant  has  purchased  directors'  and  officers'  liability
insurance covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by the officers and
directors of the Registrant in connection with the performance of their duties.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

          (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file,  during any  period in which  offers of 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;

                    (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;

Provided,  however,  that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do
not apply if the  Registration  Statement is on Form S-3,  Form S-8 or Form F-3,
and the  information  required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission  by the  Registrant  pursuant  to Section 13 or Section  15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
         the Securities Act, 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.

                  (b) The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for
         purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities  Act, each
         filing of the  Registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.

                                      * * *

                  (h) Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under
         the  Securities  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 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, 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
         Securities Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
         issue.
