ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware permits a
corporation to indemnify any person who is or has been a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or who is or has been serving as director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, organization or enterprise at
the request of the corporation, against all liability and expenses (including,
but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements and amounts paid in
settlement or in satisfaction of judgments or as fines or penalties) incurred or
paid in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, in which he/she may be
involved by reason of the fact that he/she served or is serving in these
capacities, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she 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 no cause to believe
his/her conduct was unlawful. In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding
made or brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure a recovery or
judgment in its favor, the corporation shall not indemnify such person in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his/her duty to the corporation, except for such expenses as the court may
allow. Any such person who has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise
with respect to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding or with respect to
any claim, issue or matter therein, shall be indemnified as of right against all
expenses in connection therewith or resulting therefrom.

      Pursuant to Article V, Section 1 of our By-Laws, we will indemnify
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
presently exists or is amended. We are insured against actions taken under our
By-Laws and the directors and officers are insured directly at our expense
against such liabilities for



which indemnification is not made. We have entered into agreements with our
directors and certain of our officers requiring us to indemnify such persons to
the fullest extent permitted by our By-Laws.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

      The Company undertakes:

      (1)   to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
            a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
                  Securities Act of 1933;

            (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                  the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
                  recent post-effective amendment) which, individually or in the
                  aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
                  set forth in the registration statement;

            (iii) To include any material information about the plan of
                  distribution not already disclosed in the registration
                  statement or any material change to such information in the
                  registration statement;

            provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply
            if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
            information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
            those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
            registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
            Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
            registration statement.

      (2)   that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
            Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be a new
            registration statement relating to the securities offered, and the
            offering of such securities at that time will be viewed as the
            initial bona fide offering.

      (3)   to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
            any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
            end of the offering.

      (4)   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 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 will be a new registration statement relating
            to the securities offered, and the offering of such securities at
            that time shall be viewed as the initial bona fide offering.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant under 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
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for

                                       2


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.

                                       3


                                   SIGNATURES

on Form S-8 and has caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the authorized signer in The City of New York, State of New York, on
