<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section&nbsp;102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows
us, as a Delaware corporation, to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in cases where the director has (i)&nbsp;breached his duty of
loyalty, (ii)&nbsp;failed to act in good faith, (iii)&nbsp;engaged in intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iv)&nbsp;authorized the unlawful payment of a dividend or approved an unlawful stock repurchase, or (vi)&nbsp;obtained an
improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, 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 its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association 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 such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware 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 judgment in its favor,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The above-described Delaware limitation of liability provisions may not limit a director&#146;s liability for violation of, or otherwise relieve us or our
directors from, the necessity of complying with Federal or state securities laws, or affect the availability of non-monetary remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article XI of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of directors to the Company or our stockholders

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article VI of our amended and restated bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and that we may indemnify our
employees and agents in substantially the same manner as provided by Sections 102 and 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Article VI of our amended and restated bylaws also provides that we may purchase and maintain
insurance covering certain liabilities of our officers and directors and to ensure the performance of our indemnification obligations as described above. </P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows
us, as a Delaware corporation, to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in cases where the director has (i) breached his duty of
loyalty, (ii) failed to act in good faith, (iii) engaged in intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iv) authorized the unlawful payment of a dividend or approved an unlawful stock repurchase, or (vi) obtained an
improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, 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 its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association 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 such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware 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 judgment in its favor,
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The above-described Delaware limitation of liability provisions may not limit a director's liability for violation of, or otherwise relieve us or our
directors from, the necessity of complying with Federal or state securities laws, or affect the availability of non-monetary remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
Article XI of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of directors to the Company or our stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law, as such law exists currently or as it may be amended in the future.
Article VI of our amended and restated bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and that we may indemnify our
employees and agents in substantially the same manner as provided by Sections 102 and 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Article VI of our amended and restated bylaws also provides that we may purchase and maintain
insurance covering certain liabilities of our officers and directors and to ensure the performance of our indemnification obligations as described above.
We have authorized the entering into of indemnity contracts and we have provided insurance pursuant to which our officers and directors are
indemnified or insured against liability or loss under certain circumstances, which may include liability or related loss under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(a) The Company hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
greater than a 20% 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) herein 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 SEC by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement;
(2)
That, for the purposes 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
(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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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
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 the directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company 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 Company will, unless in the opinion
3
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 final adjudication of such issue.
