ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    Pursuant to Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the
Corporation has adopted a provision in its Certificate of Incorporation
eliminating the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages to the
Corporation and its stockholders for any breach of their fiduciary duties as
directors of the Corporation, except for their liability due to (1) breach of
loyalty to the Corporation, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit or (4)
any payment of unlawful dividends or an unlawful stock repurchase or redemption.

    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation to indemnify any person who is or was a party to any actual or
threatened legal action, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative because of his or her service as an officer, director or agent of
the corporation against expenses, judgments, fines and settlement payments
reasonably and actually incurred by him or her in connection with such
proceeding, if he 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 was unlawful, except that, with respect to any legal action by or in the
right of the corporation itself, an officer, director or agent of the
corporation only is entitled to indemnification for expenses actually and
reasonably incurred.  Section 6.5 of the Corporation's Bylaws provides that the
Corporation shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees, fiduciaries and
agents (and their heirs and legal representatives) to the full extent permitted
by Delaware law.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS

See Exhibit Index

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:

        (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 thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement; and

        (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 (1)(i) and (1)(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 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.

    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
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.



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

SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8, and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, on this 3rd day
