ITEM 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         ------------------------------------------

         The Registrant's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Registrant
shall, to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, indemnify any director
who is made, or is threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding,
whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of being a
director of the Registrant or a predecessor corporation of the Registrant, or is
or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of
another corporation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Registrant shall indemnify any
such agent in connection with a proceeding initiated by such agent only if such
proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's Board of Directors (the "Board").
The Bylaws further provide that such indemnification provisions shall: (i) not
be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to actions in their official capacities and as
to actions in another capacity while holding such office, (ii) continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, and (iii) inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Bylaws provide that
the Registrant's obligation to provide indemnification shall be offset to the
extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable
insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Registrant or any other
person. The Bylaws further provide that the Board in its discretion shall have
the power to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a party to any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate, is or was an officer or employee of the corporation.

         The Bylaws also provide that expenses incurred by a director of the
Registrant in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director of the Registrant (or was serving at
the Registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation) shall
be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant, as authorized by relevant
sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Registrant shall not be required to advance such expenses to an agent who is
a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the Registrant and approved
by a majority of the Board which alleges willful misappropriation of corporate
assets by such agent, disclosure of confidential information in violation of
such agent's fiduciary or contractual obligations to the Registrant or any other
willful and deliberate breach of bad faith of such agent's duty to the
Registrant or its stockholders.

         In addition, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct, (iii) for knowing violations of law, (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit to the
director, and (v) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions, as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Further, if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended,
after approval by the Company's stockholders of this provision in the
Certificate of Incorporation, to authorize corporate action further eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

         The Registrant maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy that, subject to certain limitations, terms and conditions, will insure
the directors and officers of the Registrant against losses arising from
wrongful acts (as defined by the policy) in his or her capacity as a director or
officer.

         Delaware law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or
is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending,
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, except in the case of an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she 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. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation
may indemnify against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified 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
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         A corporation may indemnify any person 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 he or she 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 amounts paid in settlement and
attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be
made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

         To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against
expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense. Any indemnification under this section, unless
ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to this section, must be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by
the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d)
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.

         The certificate of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by
the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation. The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to
advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

         The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or
ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) does not exclude any other
rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may
be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in
his or her official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his
or her office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant
to this section or for the advancement of any director or officer if a final
adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the
cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

ITEM 9:  Undertakings
         ------------

         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;

             (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.

             (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 Registration Statement is on From S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is incorporated by reference from periodic reports filed by the
Registrant under the Exchange Act.

         (2) That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat
each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the
initial BONA FIDE offering.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

         The undersigned registrant hereby under takes 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of any
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.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officers 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 Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
