</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or DGCL, provides that 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 suite by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor 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 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 such person 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
the court in which such action or suite 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 Delaware Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. Pursuant to the Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation,
the Registrant may indemnify its officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 also provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that nothing in the above-described provisions
shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to
which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides, as authorized by Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL, that a director will not be personally liable to the Registrant or any of
the Registrant&#146;s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that such provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, as it now exists or hereafter may be amended, or (4)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The certificate of
incorporation of the Registrant also provides that if the DGCL is amended after the date of filing
of the certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating
the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director, in addition to the
limitation on personal liability provided for already, shall be limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this provision in the
Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation by the stockholders will be effective prospective only,
and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director existing at
the time of such repeal or modification. The Registrant&#146;s stockholders may not amend, repeal or
adopt any provision inconsistent with the limitation of liability provision set forth in the
Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation, except by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Registrant also provide that it has the
power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of it, or who is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, employee or agent of one of its subsidiaries or of any other organization, against any
liability asserted against that person or

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.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or DGCL, provides that 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 suite by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor 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 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 such person 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
the court in which such action or suite 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 Delaware Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. Pursuant to the Registrant's certificate of incorporation,
the Registrant may indemnify its officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL.
Section 145 also provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Section 145 further provides that nothing in the above-described provisions
shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to
which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors otherwise.
The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides, as authorized by Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL, that a director will not be personally liable to the Registrant or any of
the Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that such provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as it now exists or hereafter may be amended, or (4) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The certificate of
incorporation of the Registrant also provides that if the DGCL is amended after the date of filing
of the certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating
the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director, in addition to the
limitation on personal liability provided for already, shall be limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this provision in the
Registrant's certificate of incorporation by the stockholders will be effective prospective only,
and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director existing at
the time of such repeal or modification. The Registrant's stockholders may not amend, repeal or
adopt any provision inconsistent with the limitation of liability provision set forth in the
Registrant's certificate of incorporation, except by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock.
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Registrant also provide that it has the
power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of it, or who is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, employee or agent of one of its subsidiaries or of any other organization, against any
liability asserted against that person or
-4-
incurred by that person in any such capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL.

will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
2. 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
-5-
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.
3. 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.
