ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation authorizes a court to
award, or the board of directors of a corporation to grant, indemnity to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification
under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for
expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

     As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation provides that its directors shall not be liable to
the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except to the extent that the exculpation from liabilities
is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law as in effect at the
time such liability is determined. As permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify its directors to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Delaware.

     The Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers obligating the Registrant to indemnify such directors and
officers against losses incurred in connection with certain claims in their
capacities as agents of the Registrant. The Underwriting Agreement provides for
the indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant by the
Underwriters against certain liabilities.

     The Registrant is in the process of obtaining directors and officers
liability insurance.

Act by virtue of Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act
of 1933 as transactions pursuant to compensation benefit plans and contracts
relating to compensation. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted
securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) 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 provisions described under "Item 14 --
Indemnification of Directors and Officers" above, 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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
