<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">the DGCL provides that indemnification shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper as
such person has met the applicable standard of conduct as described above. Such determination shall
be made (1)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than quorum, (2)&nbsp;by a committee of such directors designated by
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3)&nbsp;if there are no such
directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4)&nbsp;by the stockholders of the corporation. Expenses incurred by an officer or director may be paid
by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the relevant action, suit or proceeding,
if and to the extent such advance upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or
director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled
to indemnification by the corporation.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;IX of the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of
Incorporation&#148;) provides that the directors of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the
extent otherwise required by the DGCL. Additionally, Article&nbsp;X of the Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any of its directors or officers
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit or proceeding (civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) if such person acted in good
faith, and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant. The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Registrant
shall not indemnify an officer or director seeking indemnification in connection with any action,
suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim (or part thereof) initiated by the officer or director
unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. In actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation the Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
indemnification may be made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the Registrant,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems
proper. In cases where the director or officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any action, suit, or proceeding (or claims or issues therein), the Certificate of
Incorporation mandates that the Registrant indemnify the director or officer against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in the proceeding.

indemnify and hold harmless its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall only
indemnify an officer or director in connection with a suit or proceeding initiated by such officer
or director if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The
Bylaws also provide that the Registrant shall pay all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred
by any of its officer or directors; provided, however, that, to the extent required by the DGCL,
such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only
upon receipt of an undertaking by such officer or director to repay all amounts advanced if it
should be ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to indemnification.

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 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") provides that a
corporation may indemnify any of its directors or officers against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative) if such person acted in good faith, and in a manner that person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation, the DGCL provides that no indemnification may be
made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems proper.
In cases where the director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding (or claims or issues therein), the DGCL mandates that the
corporation indemnify the director or officer against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred in the proceeding. In other cases,
Table of Contents
the DGCL provides that indemnification shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper as
such person has met the applicable standard of conduct as described above. Such determination shall
be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than quorum, (2) by a committee of such directors designated by
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no such
directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4) by the stockholders of the corporation. Expenses incurred by an officer or director may be paid
by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the relevant action, suit or proceeding,
if and to the extent such advance upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or
director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled
to indemnification by the corporation.
Article IX of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") provides that the directors of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the
extent otherwise required by the DGCL. Additionally, Article X of the Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any of its directors or officers
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit or proceeding (civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) if such person acted in good
faith, and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant. The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Registrant
shall not indemnify an officer or director seeking indemnification in connection with any action,
suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim (or part thereof) initiated by the officer or director
unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. In actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation the Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
indemnification may be made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the Registrant,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems
proper. In cases where the director or officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any action, suit, or proceeding (or claims or issues therein), the Certificate of
Incorporation mandates that the Registrant indemnify the director or officer against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in the proceeding.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify and hold harmless its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall only
indemnify an officer or director in connection with a suit or proceeding initiated by such officer
or director if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The
Bylaws also provide that the Registrant shall pay all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by any of its officer or directors; provided, however, that, to the extent required by the DGCL,
such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only
upon receipt of an undertaking by such officer or director to repay all amounts advanced if it
should be ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant has in effect a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing
coverage for certain liabilities of the Registrant's officers and directors.
Item 7.

None.

Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The 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 this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate,
Table of Contents
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this Item 9 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 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 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 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) 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.
