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 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL") makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors
of corporations in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify the officers and
directors of the Company under certain circumstances from liabilities (including
reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of
Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.

         The Company's Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to
indemnify all persons that it shall have power to indemnify to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL and to pay in advance expenses incurred by a party
seeking indemnification. As permitted by the DGCL, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation provides that, in accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL,
no director shall be personally liable to the Company or to its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of
this provision in the Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of
the Company and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on
behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in
clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the
liability of directors under federal securities laws.

                                       4


         The Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall
indemnify each director and any officer or other person that the Board of
Directors shall designate from time to time who was or is a party 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 reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding 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, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a pleas of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.

         The Bylaws also provide that the Corporation shall indemnify each
director and any officer or other person that the Board of Directors shall
designate from time to time who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Corporation to procure judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) 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 shall be made in respect of 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 upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

         The Bylaws also provide that expenses incurred by a director or officer
of the Corporation in defending or investigating any a threatened or pending
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company, provided that if
required by the DGCL such expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the
Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company.

         INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY
PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED 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.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

(a)      Rule 415 Offering.

         (1)      File, during any period in which it offers or sells
                  securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                  Statement to include any additional or changed material
                  information on the plan of distribution;
         (2)      For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
                  treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration
                  statement of the securities offered herein, and the offering
                  of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
                  offering; and
         (3)      File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
                  any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
                  offering.

(b)      Subsequent Exchange Act Documents Incorporated by Reference

         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 this 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.

                                       6


(c)      Indemnification.

         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 SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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
