</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees)), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he 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, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person
serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he 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
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors,
officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, as permitted by
the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation provides that the Registrant&#146;s directors shall have no
personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (4)&nbsp;for

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar 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 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 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 <I>bona
fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(c)&nbsp;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.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees)), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he 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, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person
serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he 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
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors,
officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, as permitted by
the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation provides that the Registrant's directors shall have no
personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for
any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
The
Registrant's By-Laws provide for the indemnification of all current and former directors
and all current or former officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar 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 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
(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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant 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) 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 Section 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.
(c) 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.
