Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The validity of the shares of Common Stock being offered has been passed upon
for the Company by Fleischman and Walsh, L.L.P.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers a corporation to
indemnify its directors and officers, subject to certain limitations. The
Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify their respective directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Article NINE of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
eliminates the liability of directors of the Company for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person against expenses, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection
with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which he
is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation, provided that (i) he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had no reasonable

5
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If the action or suit is by or in the
name of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify any such person against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that 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
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which the action or suit is brought determines upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in the light of the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense as
the court deems proper.

Any agents, dealers or underwriters who execute any of the agreements filed as
Exhibit 1 to this registration statement will agree to indemnify the Company's
directors and their officers who signed the registration statement against
certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act with respect to
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any such indemnifying
party.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) 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 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.

(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.

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