         to this Registration Statement, the Registrant is registering the
         number of shares purchaseable by these individuals under the Option

         upon the Option Price of the common stock stated in the Option

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         No response is required to this item.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         No response is required to this item.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Registrant has adopted provisions in its certificate of
incorporation that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for
monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties in certain
circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by law. Additionally, the
Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that it will
indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents for any liability
incurred in their official capacity to the maximum extent permissible under
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Under Delaware law, a corporation
may indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or
proceeding (other than shareholder derivative suits) because 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 firm. In order to be indemnified, the director, officer,
employee or agent must (i) act in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interest of the
corporation and (ii) in respect to a criminal proceeding, he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.



                                       3

   4

         In the case of shareholder derivative suits under Delaware law, the
corporation may also indemnify if the director, officer, employee or agent acted
in good faith and in a manner the director reasonably believed to be in, and not
opposed to, the best interest of the corporation. Unless a court finds that an
individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity, the corporation
cannot indemnify an individual in shareholder derivative suits where there is
any claim, issue or matter in which the individual has been found liable to the
corporation.

         Under the DGCL, a corporation must indemnify a director or officer who
successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he or she was a
party because of his or her position as a director or officer for expenses
actually or reasonably incurred by the person. Expenses incurred by an officer
or director in defending any civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount
if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation. The indemnification and expense advancement provisions under
Delaware law described above are not exclusive of other rights of
indemnification and advancement that a director or officer may be granted by a
corporation in its bylaws or by a vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or by an agreement.

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 1933
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.

         (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.




                                       5
   6



         (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes
of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 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 1933
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 1933 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
