</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a Delaware corporation. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
empowers a Delaware corporation 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 such
corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A corporation may indemnify such
person against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person 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 such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. Where a present or former officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify
such person against the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) which such person actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided is not deemed to be
exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may be entitled under any
corporation&#146;s bylaws, agreement, vote or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;XI of the Company&#146;s Bylaws provides in regard to indemnification of directors
and officers as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Definitions. As used in this article, the term &#147;person&#148; means any past,
present or future director or officer of the corporation or a designated officer of
an operating division of the corporation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Indemnification Granted. The corporation shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless against all liability, loss and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees
reasonably incurred), to the full extent and under the circumstances permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in effect from time to
time, any person as defined above, made or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer of the corporation or designated officer of an operating division of the
corporation, or is or was an employee or agent of the corporation acting as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another company or other enterprise in which
the corporation owns, directly or indirectly, an equity or other interest or of
which it may be a creditor.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a person indemnified herein must retain an attorney directly, the
corporation may, in its discretion, pay the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided,
however, that the payment of

of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director
or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that

otherwise.</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which a person indemnified herein may be entitled by By-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, designated officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and
other legal representatives of such person. It is not intended that the provisions
of this article be applicable to, and they are not to be construed as granting
indemnity with respect to, matters as to which indemnification would be in

a matter of public policy or pursuant to statutory provision.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;7 of the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides in regard to the limitation
of liability of directors and officers as follows:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under
Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or hereafter
may be amended or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is
amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, then, in addition to the limitation or personal liability provided
herein, the liability of a director of the corporation shall be limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal
or modification of this paragraph by the stockholders of the corporation shall be
prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal
liability of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s directors and officers are also insured against claims arising out of the

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 6%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference. 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 relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Filing of registration statement on Form S-8. 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.

agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A corporation may indemnify such
person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person 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 such person's conduct was unlawful. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. Where a present or former officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify
such person against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which such person actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided is not deemed to be
exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may be entitled under any
corporation's bylaws, agreement, vote or otherwise.
Article XI of the Company's Bylaws provides in regard to indemnification of directors
and officers as follows:
1. Definitions. As used in this article, the term "person" means any past,
present or future director or officer of the corporation or a designated officer of
an operating division of the corporation.
2. Indemnification Granted. The corporation shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless against all liability, loss and expenses (including attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred), to the full extent and under the circumstances permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in effect from time to
time, any person as defined above, made or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer of the corporation or designated officer of an operating division of the
corporation, or is or was an employee or agent of the corporation acting as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another company or other enterprise in which
the corporation owns, directly or indirectly, an equity or other interest or of
which it may be a creditor.
If a person indemnified herein must retain an attorney directly, the
corporation may, in its discretion, pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided,
however, that the payment of

expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director
or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that
the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this article or
otherwise.
This right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which a person indemnified herein may be entitled by By-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, designated officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and
other legal representatives of such person. It is not intended that the provisions
of this article be applicable to, and they are not to be construed as granting
indemnity with respect to, matters as to which indemnification would be in
contravention of the laws of Delaware or of the United States of America whether as
a matter of public policy or pursuant to statutory provision.
3. Miscellaneous. The board of directors may also on behalf of the corporation
grant indemnification to any individual other than a person defined herein to such
extent and in such manner as the board in its sole discretion may from time to time
and at any time determine.
Article 7 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides in regard to the limitation
of liability of directors and officers as follows:
A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or hereafter
may be amended or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is
amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, then, in addition to the limitation or personal liability provided
herein, the liability of a director of the corporation shall be limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal
or modification of this paragraph by the stockholders of the corporation shall be
prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal
liability of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.
The Company's directors and officers are also insured against claims arising out of the
performance of their duties in such capacities.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) Rule 415 offerings. 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 1933 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.
(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 any offering.
(b) Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference. 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 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) Filing of registration statement on Form S-8. 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.
