Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          As permitted by the Delaware  General  Corporation law, (the "Delaware
Code") Article 4 of the Registrant's  Bylaws provide for the  indemnification of
any  person  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened,  pending or completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact
that  such  person  is or was a  director  or  officer  of the  Registrant  or a
constituent  corporation  absorbed in a  consolidation  or merger,  or is or was
serving at the request of the Registrant or a constituent  corporation  absorbed
in a consolidation or merger,  as a director or officer of another  corporation,
partnership,  joint venture, trust or other enterprise,  or is or was a director
or officer of the  Registrant  or other  enterprise,  or is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant serving at its request as an administrator, trustee or
other  fiduciary of one or more of the employee  benefit plans of the Registrant
or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), liability and
loss actually and  reasonably  incurred or suffered by such person in connection
with such proceeding,  whether or not the indemnified  liability arises or arose
from any threatened,  pending or completed  proceeding by or in the right of the
Registrant,  except to the extent that such  indemnification  is  prohibited  by
applicable law. The Registrant's  Bylaws also provide that such  indemnification
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may
be  entitled  as a  matter  of  law or  under  any  bylaw,  agreement,  vote  of
stockholders or otherwise.

          Also, pursuant to the Delaware Code, the Registrant's Bylaws set forth
the extent to which the  Registrant  is  authorized  to  indemnify  and  advance
expenses to its directors or officers.  The  Registrant may indemnify any person
subject  to any  action by reason  of the fact that he is or was a  director  or
officer  of  the  Registrant.  Any  determination  that  indemnification  by the
Registrant  in a  specific  case  is  proper  must  be  made  by a  majority  of
uninterested  directors or independent legal counsel. To the extent permitted by
law,  the  Registrant  must  advance to officers and  directors  their  expenses
incurred  in  defending  a civil or  criminal  action  in  advance  of the final
disposition of such action.

          The Bylaws also  authorize  the  Registrant  to purchase  and maintain
insurance,  or make other financial  arrangements,  on behalf of any director or
officer of the Registrant  for any liability  incurred by him in his capacity as
such,  whether or not the  Registrant has the authority to indemnify him against
such liability.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

          4.1            The   relevant   portions   of   the   Certificate   of
                         Incorporation,  as amended,  of the Registrant defining
                         the rights of holders of Class A Common Stock (which is
                         set forth on Exhibit 3.01 to the registration statement
                         on Form S-1 (File No.  333-95199),  filed  January  21,
                         2000).

          4.2            Bylaws of the Registrant  (incorporated by reference to
                         Exhibit 3.02 to the registration  statement on Form S-1
                         (File No. 333-95199), filed January 21, 2000).

          24.1           Power of Attorney (included on signature page).

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:

               (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.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  any
          increase  or decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total
          dollar  value of  securities  offered  would not exceed that which was
          registered)  and  any  deviation  from  the  low  or  high  end of the
          estimated  maximum  offering  range  may be  reflected  in the form of
          prospectus  filed with the  Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
          the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price represent no more than
          20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
          the   "Calculation  of  Registration   Fee"  table  in  the  effective
          registration statement and

               (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) do not apply if 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.


                                     3
<PAGE>

          (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 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and each filing of an employee  benefit  plan's annual  report  pursuant to
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.

     (c) 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.
