Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Certain legal matters regarding the Common Stock offered hereby were passed upon for the Company by Jenner & Block. Mr. Theodore R. Tetzlaff is a partner of Jenner & Block and served as General Counsel of the Company until November 4, 1999. At December 31, 1999, Mr. Tetzlaff beneficially owned 13,847 shares of Common Stock. 1 3 ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Elimination of Liability of Directors The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the "Certificate"), provides that a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Further, the Certificate provides that any amendment, modification or repeal of the provision referred to in the preceding sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company thereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal. This provision does not eliminate a director's fiduciary duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, the provision shall not limit or eliminate the liability of a director for: (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; (iii) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; and (iv) payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. The Company has in force an insurance policy which purports to insure the officers and directors of the Company against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of their functions as officers and directors, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy. Indemnification of Directors and Officers The by-laws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may thereafter be amended, any person (an "Indemnittee") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including appeals (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses, including attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by such Indemnittee. The by-laws also provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, but except as described in the second following paragraph, the Company will be required to indemnify an Indemnittee in connection with a proceeding or part thereof commenced by such Indemnittee only if the commencement of the proceeding or part thereof by the Indemnittee was authorized by the Board. The by-laws further provide that the Company will pay the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by an Indemnittee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, the payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnittee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnittee is not entitled to be indemnified under the relevant section of the by-laws or otherwise. Pursuant to the by-laws, if a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses thereunder is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnittee has been received by the Company, the Indemnittee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, will be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. The by-laws provide that, in any such action, the Company will have the burden of proving that the Indemnittee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law. 2 4 The by-laws also provide: - that the rights conferred on any Indemnittee shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Indemnittee may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate, the by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise; - that the Company's obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Indemnittee who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity will be reduced by any amount such Indemnittee may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit enterprise; and - that any repeal or modification of the relevant provisions of the by-laws will not adversely affect any right or protection thereunder of any Indemnittee in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. The by-laws also expressly state that the provisions thereof will not limit the Company's right, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnittees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. A. SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURE. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities registered hereby 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 this 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 this Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above 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 Company, pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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 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. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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. COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION. The Company hereby undertakes that, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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. 5 7 SIGNATURES The Registrant.
