ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
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 such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such 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 such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person 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 such person's conduct was
unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees
and other agents of such corporation 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, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the


                                       3
<PAGE>

defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person
against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he or she actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

         The Company's By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
contain provisions that provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
and their heirs and distributees, to the full extent permitted by, and in the
manner permissible under, the DGCL.

         As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the
personal liability of a director to the registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain
exceptions.
