<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;The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section&nbsp;145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law gives a corporation power to 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 of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; 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 interests 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 also gives a corporation power to 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 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 of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; 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
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 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. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that, to the extent that a
present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who 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 any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or
not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section&nbsp;145.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;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 related to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;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 of controlling person or 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.

Not applicable. The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The legality of the shares of common stock to be issued in this offering will be passed upon

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law gives a corporation power to 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 of 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 interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 also gives a corporation power to 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 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 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
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 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. Section 145 further provides that, to the extent that a
present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 145 also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who 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 any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or
not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
All of the Company's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies maintained by
the Company against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(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 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 (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 related to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at the 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 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 of controlling person or 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.
