4.INDEMNIFICATION
    The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "GCL") permits
    indemnification of directors and officers, employees and others against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Corporation -- a "derivative action") if they acted in good
faith and in a manner they 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 their conduct was unlawful.  A
similar standard of conduct is applicable in the case of derivative actions,
except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such an action.

    The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation provides that each person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any claim, action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or
other, by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person
is a legal representative, is or was a director, officer, or employee of the
Corporation, or is or was serving in the course or such employment, or at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or representative
of another entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to
the fullest extent authorized by the GCL, as it presently exists or may
hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability or loss (including
attorney's fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
