ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (Section 18-108) gives Delaware
limited liability companies broad powers to indemnify and hold harmless any
member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and
demands whatsoever. The issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
Act, indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, each member or
manager against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
indemnified party may become subject in connection with any matter arising from,
related to, or in connection with, the issuer's business or affairs.

     Pursuant to agreements which the Registrant may enter into with
underwriters or agents (forms of which will be included as exhibits to this
registration statement), officers and directors of the Registrant, and
affiliates thereof, may be entitled to indemnification by such underwriters or
agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, arising from information which has been or will be
furnished to the Registrant by such underwriters or agents that appears in the
registration statement or any prospectus.

ITEM 17.  EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (a) That 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 provisions described
     under Item 14 above, 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 Securities Act of 1933 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.

          (b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 shall be deemed
     to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
     effective.

          (c) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, 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
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4

          (d) 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 of 1933;

             (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; 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.

          (e) 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.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
