<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;), the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that
the directors will not be liable to the Registrant or to any stockholder for

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the full extent
that such limitation or elimination of liability is permitted under Delaware
law.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also as permitted by Section&nbsp;145, the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide that the
Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted under Delaware law. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Section&nbsp;145, the
Registrant will indemnify each director and officer against any liability
incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in
which he may be involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request
of the Registrant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each director and officer is also entitled to indemnification against
costs and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in defending or
investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may be
involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the
Registrant. The Bylaws and indemnity agreements entered into between the
Registrant and each of its directors require the Registrant to advance funds to
a director or officer for such costs and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by such director or officer to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Registrant if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the
Board or counsel at the time such determination is made: (i)&nbsp;the director or
officer acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the Registrant
or its stockholders; and (ii)&nbsp;as a result of such actions by the director or
officer, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that
such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Bylaws and
any indemnity agreements are not exclusive of any other rights to which a
director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under the Bylaws, indemnity agreements, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the Bylaws and the indemnity agreements continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance policy insuring directors and officers of the Registrant against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under the Bylaws or any indemnity agreement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 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;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 bona
fide offering thereof; and

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference into 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Securities and Exchange
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.

that such limitation or elimination of liability is permitted under Delaware
law.
Also as permitted by Section 145, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that the
Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted under Delaware law. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Section 145, the
Registrant will indemnify each director and officer against any liability
incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in
which he may be involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request
of the Registrant.
Each director and officer is also entitled to indemnification against
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending or
investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may be
involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the
Registrant. The Bylaws and indemnity agreements entered into between the
Registrant and each of its directors require the Registrant to advance funds to
a director or officer for such costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by such director or officer to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Registrant if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the
Board or counsel at the time such determination is made: (i) the director or
officer acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the Registrant
or its stockholders; and (ii) as a result of such actions by the director or
officer, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that
such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Bylaws and
any indemnity agreements are not exclusive of any other rights to which a
director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under the Bylaws, indemnity agreements, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the Bylaws and the indemnity agreements continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
The Registrant has purchased a directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy insuring directors and officers of the Registrant against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under the Bylaws or any indemnity agreement.

Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Index to
Exhibits which is incorporated herein by this 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 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;
(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; and
Table of Contents
(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 (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 into 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 Securities and Exchange
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.
