ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a Delaware
corporation 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,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by that person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 his or
her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors,
officers, employees and others in an action by or in the right of the
corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director or officer is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to
above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must
indemnify that director or officer against the expenses (including attorneys'
fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Article VI of the Company's amended and restated bylaws provides that
the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of its directors and
officers, to the fullest extent applicable law permits, from and against any and
all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in
settlement and, subject to certain limitations, expenses arising out of any
event or occurrence by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director
or an officer of the Company. Article VI of the Company's bylaws also provides
that the Company may indemnify and hold harmless any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines
(including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to certain
limitations, expenses arising out of any event or occurrence by reason of the
fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the Company or is or was
serving in another capacity (other than as a director or an officer of the
Company) at the written request of the Company. Article VI of the Company's
bylaws also provides that the Company may provide advances to an indemnitee to
cover expenses he incurs in defending against any action, suit or proceeding
that may give rise to a right of the indemnitee to indemnification thereunder
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such
amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company.
The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors. These indemnification agreements generally provide the
Company's directors with a contractual right of indemnification to the same
extent provided by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and a
contractual right to advancement of expenses consistent with the provisions of
Article IX of the Company's amended and restated bylaws.
Additionally, the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended,
contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the director's
fiduciary duty of care as a director. As a result, shareholders may be unable to
recover monetary damages against directors for negligent or grossly negligent
acts or omissions in violation of their duty of care. The provision does not
<PAGE> 4
change the liability of a director for breach of his duty of loyalty to the
Company or to shareholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for the
declaration or payment of dividends in violation of Delaware law, or in respect
of any transaction from which that director receives an improper personal
benefit.
The Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
for its directors and officers that protects them from certain losses arising
from claims or charges made against them in their capacities as directors or
officers of the Company.
2000 Non-Executive Incentive Plan
In addition, Section 6 of the Company's 2000 Non-Executive Incentive
Plan (the "Incentive Plan") provides that no member of the Committee or officers
of the Company administering the Incentive Plan shall be liable for anything
done or omitted to be done by him or her in connection with the performance of
duties under the Incentive Plan, except for his or her own willful misconduct or
as expressly provided by statute.
The above discussion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws, Incentive Plan and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
is intended to be only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full
text of each of the foregoing.

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.
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 Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities
Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;
(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.
(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 section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
<PAGE> 6
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.
