Item 15. Indemnification of Officers And Directors

   Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal
liability of their officers and directors to them and their stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of officers' and directors' fiduciary duty of care.
The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation,
officers and directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all
material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations
authorized by Delaware law, officers and directors are accountable to
corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct
constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Delaware
law enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such
as injunction or rescission.

   Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us
or our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of a director's fiduciary duty in their capacity as directors,
except for liability:

  -  for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
     stockholders;

  -  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
     misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

  -  for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
     redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
     Corporation Law; or

  -  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
     benefit.

   Delaware law also authorizes corporations to indemnify its officers,
directors, employees and agents for liabilities, other than liabilities to the
corporation, arising because that individual was an officer, director, employee
or agent of the corporation so long as the individual acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
corporation and not unlawful.

   Our bylaws provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us
for liabilities arising because that individual was one of our officers or
directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also
provide that we may, by action of our board of directors, provide similar
indemnification to our employees and agents.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

   These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may
reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and
directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders or management from
bringing a lawsuit against our officers and directors for breach of their duty
of care, even though the action, if successful, might otherwise have benefitted
us and our stockholders.

   These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not alter
the liability of our officers and directors under federal securities laws and
do not affect the right to sue under federal securities laws for violations
thereof.

Item 17. Undertakings

   We hereby undertake to:

     (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, as amended;

       (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; and

       (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;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (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 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, 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.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
  Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
  15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      II-5
<PAGE>

     (5) 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
  SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
  Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be
  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

amended, the Registrant certifies that it has duly caused this Amendment No. 2
