  to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the
  corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary
  duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty,
  failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly
  violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
  repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper
  personal benefit. Article&nbsp;SEVENTH of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated
  Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision.

  <P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides that a
  corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
  of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
  corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
  connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
  made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such
  person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided
  that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such

  with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
  be liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such
  adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to
  indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
  that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
  including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he
  is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
  attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced
  by the Registrant to a director or officer at his request, provided that he
  undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he
  is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  </FONT>
  <P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant
  determines that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification
  has not been met. In the event the Registrant denies a request for
  indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request for
  indemnification within 60&nbsp;days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee,
  such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
  determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a
  condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer
  must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and
  the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the
  defense thereof.

  Incorporation further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not
  exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General Corporation
  Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
  officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent
  permitted by such law as so amended.

  has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.

  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
  Hale and Dorr LLP has opined as to the legality of the securities being

  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation
  to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the
  corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary
  duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty,
  failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly
  violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
  repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper
  personal benefit. Article SEVENTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated
  Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision.
  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides that a
  corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent
  of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
  corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
  connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
  made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such
  person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided
  that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
  person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
  to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification
  is proper under the circumstances.
  Article EIGHTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation provides that a director or officer of the Registrant (a) shall
  be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys'
  fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection
  with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in
  the right of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a
  director or officer of the Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner
  he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the
  Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no
  reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be
  indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
  judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any
  action by or in the right of the Registrant brought against him by virtue of
  his position as a director or officer of the Registrant if he acted in good
  faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
  -2-
  Table of Contents
  best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made
  with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
  be liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such
  adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to
  indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
  that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
  including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he
  is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
  attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced
  by the Registrant to a director or officer at his request, provided that he
  undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he
  is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  Indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant
  determines that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification
  has not been met. In the event the Registrant denies a request for
  indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request for
  indemnification within 60 days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee,
  such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
  determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a
  condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer
  must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and
  the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the
  defense thereof.
  Article EIGHTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not
  exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General Corporation
  Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
  officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent
  permitted by such law as so amended.
  Item 7.
  Exemption from Registration Claimed
  Not applicable.
  Item 8.
  Exhibits
  The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
  herein by reference.
  Item 9.  Undertakings
  1.    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:
  (i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
  the Securities Act;
  (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 thereof) which, individually or in
  the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
  set forth in the registration statement; and
  -3-
  Table of Contents
  (iii)    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
  provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
  information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
  those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
  to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
  the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
  statement.
  (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities 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 the 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.
  2.    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
  determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
  Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
  3.    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
  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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.
