<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">Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law the Registrant has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. Article&nbsp;XI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws requires the
Registrant to indemnify its directors and executive officers, and permits the Registrant to
indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents to the extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Bylaws also require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses in the case of any action,
suit or proceeding brought by reason of the indemnified party being or having been a director,
executive officer or agent of the Registrant, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to
repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to
indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive officers.
Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific
indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law. The Registrant also maintains standard
policies of insurance under which coverage is provided, subject to specific terms and conditions of
those policies, (a)&nbsp;to its directors and officers against certain losses arising from claims made
by reason of breach of duty in their official capacities, and (b)&nbsp;to the Registrant with respect to
payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above
indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

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 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law the Registrant has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. Article XI of the Registrant's Bylaws requires the
Registrant to indemnify its directors and executive officers, and permits the Registrant to
indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents to the extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Bylaws also require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses in the case of any action,
suit or proceeding brought by reason of the indemnified party being or having been a director,
executive officer or agent of the Registrant, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to
repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to
indemnification.
The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive officers.
Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific
indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law. The Registrant also maintains standard
policies of insurance under which coverage is provided, subject to specific terms and conditions of
those policies, (a) to its directors and officers against certain losses arising from claims made
by reason of breach of duty in their official capacities, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to
payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above
indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 9. Undertakings
A.
Post-Effective Amendments.
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, as amended (the "1933 Act");
(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 the 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 20% 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;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section will 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 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference 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 the offering.
B.
Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the 1934 Act 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.
Claims for Indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 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 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
