ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Mark S. Demilio, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the
Registrant, rendered the opinion (attached as Exhibit 5 hereto) as to the
legality of the securities registered under this Registration Statement.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has
the power to indemnify its officers and directors in certain circumstances.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of his service as director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or his service, at the corporation's request, as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in
a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
provided that such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
director or officer, or former director or officer, who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth
above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
2
<PAGE>
provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that, to the extent a director or officer
of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsection (a) or (b) or in the defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith; provided that indemnification provided for by Section 145 or granted
pursuant thereto shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the
indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against
any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.
Article VII of the Bylaws of the Registrant provides in substance that
the Registrant shall indemnify directors and officers against all liability and
related expenses incurred in connection with the affairs of the Registrant if:
(a), in the case of actions not by or in the right of the Registrant, the
director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and (with
respect to a criminal proceeding) had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful; and (b), in the case of actions by or in the right of the
Registrant, the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, provided that no indemnification shall be made for a claim as to
which the director or officer is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct
unless (and only to the extent that) an appropriate court determines that, in
view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity.
In addition, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits Delaware
corporations to include a provision in their certificates of incorporation
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (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 that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) for unlawful payment of dividends or other unlawful distributions, or (iv)
for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Article Twelfth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation contains such a provision.
The Registrant maintains Directors' and Officers' liability insurance
with various insurance providers.

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 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; provided, however, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
4
<PAGE>
(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 of 1933, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities 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.
