General Corporation Law (the &#147;<B>DGCL</B>&#148;) permits a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability (a)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, or (d)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Seventh of the Registrant&#146;s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of the Registrant&#146;s directors is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, a corporation has the power to indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and
subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which
any of them is a party by reason of being a director or officer of the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. Article VII of the
Registrant&#146;s bylaws provides that the Registrant will 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 by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was a director, officer or other authorized representative of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against certain liabilities, costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrant is not required to indemnify any person (i)&nbsp;for any action, suit, or proceeding initiated by such person, unless the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Registrant&#146;s board of
directors; (ii)&nbsp;for settlement amounts unless the Registrant consented to the settlement; (iii)&nbsp;for judicial awards if the Registrant did not have an opportunity to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of the action; or
(iv)&nbsp;if the authorized representative has otherwise received payment for the amounts that would have been indemnifiable. Article VII also provides for the advancement of expenses to an indemnified party upon receipt of an undertaking by the
party to repay those amounts if it is finally determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. Article VII further permits the Registrant to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL. Section&nbsp;145 also provides that the aforesaid power to indemnify directors and
officers may not be impaired by an amendment to the provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of an action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in
effect at the time of the act or omission explicitly authorizes the impairment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s directors and officers are covered
by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<B>Securities Act</B>&#148;), which might be incurred by them in such capacities and
against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c)&nbsp;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 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. </P>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "
DGCL
") permits a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Seventh of the Registrant's amended and
restated certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of the Registrant's directors is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation has the power to indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and
subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which
any of them is a party by reason of being a director or officer of the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. Article VII of the
Registrant's bylaws provides that the Registrant will 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 by reason of the fact that he or she is or
was a director, officer or other authorized representative of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against certain liabilities, costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrant is not required to indemnify any person (i) for any action, suit, or proceeding initiated by such person, unless the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's board of
directors; (ii) for settlement amounts unless the Registrant consented to the settlement; (iii) for judicial awards if the Registrant did not have an opportunity to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of the action; or
(iv) if the authorized representative has otherwise received payment for the amounts that would have been indemnifiable. Article VII also provides for the advancement of expenses to an indemnified party upon receipt of an undertaking by the
party to repay those amounts if it is finally determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. Article VII further permits the Registrant to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL. Section 145 also provides that the aforesaid power to indemnify directors and
officers may not be impaired by an amendment to the provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of an action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in
effect at the time of the act or omission explicitly authorizes the impairment.
The Registrant's directors and officers are covered
by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
"), which might be incurred by them in such capacities and
against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant.

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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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) of the Securities Act 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; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose 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.
(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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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 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 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.
