December 31, 1997 filed with the Commission on March 31, 1998 pursuant
to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), which contains audited financial statements for

(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter

Item 4. Description of Securities.
-------------------------

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
--------------------------------------

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director. At this time, Delaware General Corporation Law does not permit
indemnification for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Bylaws of the Registrant provide that (i) the Registrant is required to
indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) the Registrant is required, with
certain exceptions, to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, (iii) the rights conferred in
the Bylaws are not exclusive and (iv) the Registrant is authorized to enter into
indemnity agreements with its directors, officers, employees, and agents.

1


The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers to give such directors and executive officers
additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set
forth in the Registrant's Bylaws and to provide additional procedural
protections.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
------------

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:

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

(b) 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 thereto) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar

2


value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;

(c) 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 (1)(a) and (1)(b) 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 Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.

(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.

(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 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.

(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person
to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information
required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial
information.

(6) 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
