Item 6.             INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                    Section 145 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law (the
"DGCL")  and  Article  SEVENTH of the  Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation
provide for indemnification of the Company's directors and officers in a variety
of  circumstances,  which may  include  liabilities  under the  Securities  Act.
Article  SEVENTH  provides  that  unless  otherwise  determined  by the Board of
Directors  of the  Company,  the  Company  shall  indemnify,  to the full extent
permitted  by the laws of Delaware  as from time to time in effect,  the persons
described in Section 145 of the DGCL.

                    The  general  effect  of the  provisions  in  the  Company's
Certificate of  Incorporation  and the DGCL is to provide that the Company shall
indemnify  its  directors  and  officers  against all  liabilities  and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
any judicial or administrative proceedings in which they have become involved by
reason of their status as corporate directors or officers, if they acted in good
faith and in the reasonable  belief that their conduct was neither  unlawful (in
the case of criminal  proceedings) nor  inconsistent  with the best interests of
the Company. With respect to legal proceedings by or in the right of the Company
in which a director or officer is ajudged liable for improper performance of his
duty to the  Company or another  enterprise  for which such  person  served in a
similar  capacity at the request of the Company,  indemnification  is limited by
such provisions to that amount which is permitted by the court.

Item 9.             UNDERTAKINGS.


                    (a)  The undersigned 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 of 1933  (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; and

                         (iii)To include any material  information  with respect
                    to the plan of distribution not previously  disclosed in the

                    information in the registration statement;

provided,  however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
- --------   -------
information 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  Exchange  Act that are  incorporated  by reference in the
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; and

                    (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, each filing of the registrant's  Annual

                         an employee  benefit  plan's Annual Report  pursuant to
                         Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

                    (c)  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, or otherwise, the
                         registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the
                         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.
