                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

                 The Company has been advised by the Selling Shareholders that
they intend to sell all or a portion of the Control Securities acquired by them
pursuant to the Program from time to time to purchasers directly or through
underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders
and/or purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they act as agent
(which compensation may be in excess of customary commissions). The Selling
Shareholders will be responsible for payment of any and all commissions to
brokers, which will be negotiated on an individual basis. The Company will not
be responsible for the payment of any commissions to brokers. The Selling
Shareholders and anyone effecting sales on behalf of the Selling Shareholders
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and commissions or discounts given may
be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under said Securities Act.

                 The Control Securities may be sold publicly through one or more
transactions on a national securities exchange, in the over-the-counter market
or through one or more private transactions. In addition, any Control Securities
which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold
under said Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling
Shareholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act,
and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation, Rules
10b-6 and 10b-7 of the Exchange Act, which provisions may affect the timing of
purchases and sales of shares of Control Securities pursuant to this Reoffer
Prospectus. There is no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or
all of the Control Securities described herein and may transfer, devise or gift
such shares by other means not described herein.

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

                 Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she

                                        4

<PAGE>   7



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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
inconsistent with, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, (i) such
indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in the settlement of such action or suit, and
(ii) no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit is brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem 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, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law entitles him or
her to be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses incurred by an officer or
director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid
by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is
not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

                 The indemnification and advancement of expenses permitted or
required by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law are not exclusive of
other rights to which directors and officers of the corporation may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. Section 145 gives a corporation power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who may be indemnified by a corporation
against any liability asserted against him or her in any of the capacities
referred to above or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under Section 145.

                 Article VII of the By-Laws of the Company requires the Company
to indemnify and advance expenses to any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law under the
circumstances and to the fullest extent permitted by such section.

                 The Company maintains liability insurance coverage for
directors and officers.

                 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is
therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
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

                                        5

<PAGE>   8



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.
