INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------
  
     Under the  provisions of the  Certificate of  Incorporation  and By-Laws of
Registrant,  each person who is or was a director or officer of Registrant shall
be  indemnified  by  Registrant  as of  right to the full  extent  permitted  or
authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

     Under such law, to the extent that such person is  successful on the merits
of defense of a suit or  proceeding  brought  against  him by reason of the fact
that he is a director or officer of Registrant,  he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred in connection with such
action.

     If unsuccessful  in defense of a third-party  civil suit or a criminal suit
is settled,  such a person shall be indemnified  under such law against both (1)
expenses (including  attorneys' fees) and (2) judgments,  fines and amounts paid
in settlement  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably  believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Registrant,  and with respect
to any  criminal  action,  had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his conduct was
unlawful.

     If  unsuccessful  in  defense  of a  suit  brought  by or in the  right  of
Registrant, or if such suit is settled, such a person shall be indemnified under
such law only  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  incurred in the
defense or  settlement of such suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably  believed  to be  in,  or not  opposed  to,  the  best  interests  of
Registrant except that if such a person is adjudicated to be liable in such suit
for negligence or misconduct in the  performance  of his duty to Registrant,  he
cannot be made whole even for expenses  unless the court  determines  that he is
fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

     The  officers  and  directors of  registrant  are covered by officers'  and
directors'  liability  insurance.  The  policy  coverage  is  $1,500,000,  which
includes  reimbursement  for  costs  and  fees.  There  is a  maximum  aggregate
deductible  for each loss  under the  policy of  $150,000.  The  Registrant  has
entered into Indemnification  Agreements with each of its executive officers and
directors.  The Agreements provide for reimbursement for all direct and indirect
costs of any type or nature  whatsoever  (including  attorneys' fees and related
disbursements)  actually and reasonably  incurred in connection  with either the
investigation,  defense or appeal of a Proceeding, as defined, including amounts
paid in settlement by or on behalf of an Indemnitee.

     In addition,  the Registrant has agreed  pursuant to the Agreement and Plan
of Merger between GMC, eleven GMC shareholders, Acquisition and Herley to permit
GMC to cause its current directors and officers liability  insurance policies to
remain in effect  until  three  years after te  effective  time with  respect to
former  directors  and officers of GMC and that, to the extent that GMC fails to
pay in full any  retentions or  deductibles  payable  thereunder by  indemnified
parties, Registrant shall pay such amounts.
