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

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers a
corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents under
certain circumstances.  Article Sixth of the Registrant's Fourth Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall indemnify, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may be
amended, all directors and officers of the Registrant.  Article Fifth of the
Fourth Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that no director
of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the
extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted
under the DGCL as it presently exists or may be amended.

     Additionally, the Registrant maintains a policy of liability insurance to
insure its officers and directors against losses resulting from wrongful acts
committed by them in their capacities as officers and directors of the
Registrant, including liabilities arising under applicable securities laws.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
------    ------------

          (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
                being made of the securities registered hereby, 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 this 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 this
                     Registration Statement;

                     (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                     the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                     Registration Statement or any material change to such
                     information in this Registration Statement;

                                       3
<PAGE>

               provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (1) (i) and (a) (1) (ii)
               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 Registrant pursuant to section 13
               or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
               incorporated by reference in this 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 this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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.
