</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the

director, officer, employee or agent or another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146;

incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which 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 reasonable cause to
believe that the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.

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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</FONT></TD>

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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides as follows:
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 the 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 or 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 the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which 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 reasonable cause to
believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
2
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 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 attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification will be made in
respect to 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
Court of Chancery or the 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 Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and its
Amended and Restated By-Laws provides for the indemnification of any person who
is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director or officer of any other corporation or
in a capacity with comparable authority or responsibility for any partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise to the extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such
indemnification extends to persons who are not the Registrant's directors and
officers if the Registrant's Board of Directors specifies that such persons are
entitled to indemnification.
The Plan provides that the Registrant will indemnify and defend the
members of the Administrative Committee against all liabilities, damages, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and amounts paid in
settlement of any claims approved by the Employer in writing in advance)
occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if the
act or omission is in good faith.
The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance for
the benefit of its directors and its executive officers.
Reference is made to Item 9 for the Registrant's undertakings with respect
to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

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. 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 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.
(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.
4
(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
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
(h) 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
