         Item 4. Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

         Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable

         Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), as
amended, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors
of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his
duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct
or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase in violation of Delaware law or obtained an improper personal
benefit.

         Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a
corporation may 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or
employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation's request as
a director, officer, agent, or employee of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The
power to indemnify applies (a) if such person is successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (b) if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best
interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by
or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense
expenses (including attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement)
actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or
settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such
actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of
negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to the corporation, unless
the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should
apply.

         Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director,
who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an
unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A
director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such
actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the
board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such
absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.


                                      II-2


         The registrant's certificate of incorporation, as amended, eliminates,
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director's personal liability to
the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.

         In addition, the registrant's by-laws provide that the registrant will
indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the laws of
the State of Delaware.

         Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not Applicable.

         Item 8. Exhibits.

         Item 9. Undertakings.

         The undersigned registrant 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;

                  (ii)     To reflect in the registration statement any facts or
                           events arising after the effective date of the
                           prospectus (or the most recent post-effective
                           amendments thereto) which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement.
                           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
                           decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
                           total dollar value of securities offered would not
                           exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
                           from the low or high and of the estimated maximum
                           offering range may be reflected in the form of
                           prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
                           424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
                           and prices represent no more than 20 percent change


                                      II-3


                           in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
                           the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
                           effective registration statement; and

                  (iii)    To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
                           the registration statement or any material change to
                           such information in the registration statement.

                  provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
                  apply if the information required to be filed with a
                  post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
                  periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
                  the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
                  reference in the 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.

         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 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.

         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 such Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
