ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the By-laws (the
"By-laws") of the Company and the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "DGCL"), as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the
directors and officers of the Company. This description is intended only as a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws and the DGCL.
 
     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers a
corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or witness 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 reasons of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise.
Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify
against expenses, costs and fees (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she 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 his or her conduct was
unlawful. If the person indemnified is not wholly successful in such action,
suit or proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in one or
more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, he or she
may be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In the case
of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification
may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery, or the court in which such action or suit was
brought, shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the court shall deem proper. Section 145 provides that, to the extent a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of
any claim, issue or manner therein, he or she shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection therewith.
 
     The Company's By-laws provide for indemnification by the Company of its
directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. Pursuant to
Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company will purchase

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933:
 
          (1) each filing of the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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;
 
          (2) 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 of 1933 shall be deemed to be part
     of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective;
     and
 
          (3) 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.
 
     (b) 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 identification
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
