ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"),
provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify
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 (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person's conduct was unlawful.  Similar indemnity is authorized for such
persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any
such threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent
jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged
liable to the corporation.  Any such indemnification may be made only as
authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders,
disinterested directors, committee of such directors or by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the
indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

     The By-laws of the Company provide that directors and officers shall
be indemnified as described above in this paragraph to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall in no
way be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which any such
director, officer, employee or agent may be entitled, under any by-law,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Reference is made to Section 1 of Article IX of the Company's By-laws filed
as Exhibit 3.6 hereto.

     To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and any amendments
thereto, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that the
certificate of incorporation may contain a provision 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 provision may 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 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.  No such provision may eliminate or
limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring before
the date when such provision becomes effective.  As permitted by the DGCL,
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the
Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

     The exhibits are listed in the Exhibit Index of this Registration
Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

RULE 415 OFFERING

     The Company 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; 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the 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.

INCORPORATION OF SUBSEQUENT EXCHANGE ACT DOCUMENTS BY REGISTRANT.

     The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the annual report of the
Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
is incorporated by reference in this 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.

FILING OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.
