<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;GCL&#148;) provides that a Delaware
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 such person 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 or enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he or she 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 cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the GCL provides that a Delaware 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 or suit by or in the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
or she acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence
or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the GCL further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsection (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such officer or
director shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section&nbsp;145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the
corporation against any liability asserted against such officer or director and incurred by him or
her in such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the GCL, the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, such provision does not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for breaching his or
her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a
dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or obtaining an improper personal
benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Bylaws require that directors and officers be indemnified to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law.

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.

All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL") provides that a Delaware
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 such person 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 or enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he or she 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 cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the GCL provides that a Delaware 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 or suit by or in the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
or she acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence
or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the GCL further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsection (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such officer or
director shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the
corporation against any liability asserted against such officer or director and incurred by him or
her in such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, such provision does not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for breaching his or
her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a
dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or obtaining an improper personal
benefit.
The Company's Bylaws require that directors and officers be indemnified to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law.

The Company has entered into agreements with its directors which require that such persons be
indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted in the Company's Bylaws and the GCL.

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 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;
(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) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed 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.

Table of Contents
(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.
(b) 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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
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.
