Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         This Item is not applicable.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Delaware  General  Corporation  Law authorizes  the  Corporation to
indemnify  Officers,  Directors  and  certain  individuals  associated  with the
Corporation.

         In general,  Article IX of the  Corporation's  Bylaws provides that the
Corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therein, whether
civil,  criminal,  administrative,  arbitrative or investigative  (other than an
action by or in the right of the  Corporation)  by reason of the fact that he or
she  is  or  was  a  director,  officer,  trustee,  employee  or  agent  of  the
Corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of  the  Corporation  as a
director,   officer,   trustee,   employee  or  agent  of  another  corporation,
association,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against
expenses (including attorneys' fees),  judgments,  fines,  penalties and amounts
paid in settlement  actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therein, if he or she 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.

         The termination of any action,  suit or proceeding by judgment,  order,
settlement,  conviction,  or upon a plea 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 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,  that he or she had reasonable  cause to believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.

         Article  IX  of  the  Corporation's   Bylaws  also  provides  that  the
Corporation shall indemnify any person 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 a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of
the  Corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of the  Corporation  as a
director,   officer,   trustee,   employee  or  agent  of  another  corporation,
association,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against
amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably  incurred by him or her in connection  with the defense or settlement
of such  action or suit,  if he or she 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;  provided,  however,  that no indemnification shall be made against
expenses in respect of 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 or her duty to the  Corporation  or against  amounts  paid in  settlement
unless and only to the extent  that  there is a  determination  (as set forth in
Article IX) that despite the adjudication of liability,  or the settlement,  but
in

                                      II-3
<page>

view of all the  circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses or amounts paid in settlement.

         Article IX of the  Corporation's  Bylaws further provides that expenses
incurred in connection with a threatened or pending  action,  suit or proceeding
may be paid by the  Corporation  in  advance  of the final  disposition  of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director,  officer,  trustee, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall
be  determined  that  he or  she  is  not  entitled  to be  indemnified  by  the
Corporation.

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.

                                      II-4
<page>

                  (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 or  Section  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.

         (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 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  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities  Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
issue.
