<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section&nbsp;145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the &#147;GCL&#148;), which 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
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 the
corporation, or is or was serving at its request in such capacity of another
corporation or business organization 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 interest of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify officers and directors in any action by or in the right of a
corporation 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 an officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is also
made to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the GCL, which permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that 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 GCL (having to do with unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides for the
elimination of personal liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty as
permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the GCL and the by-laws of the Company
provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full
extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the GCL.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has directors and officers liability insurance that insures
the directors and officers of the Company against certain liabilities.

pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where

<u>Filing of registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-8</u>. 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.

.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "GCL"), which 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
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 the
corporation, or is or was serving at its request in such capacity of another
corporation or business organization 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 interest of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify officers and directors in any action by or in the right of a
corporation 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 an officer or director is successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys' fees)
that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
Reference is also
made to Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, which permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that 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 GCL (having to do with unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides for the
elimination of personal liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty as
permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL and the by-laws of the Company
provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full
extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL.
The Company has directors and officers liability insurance that insures
the directors and officers of the Company against certain liabilities.

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:
(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 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
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 Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent 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) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or
Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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 any offering.
4
Table of Contents
(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, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange 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)
Filing of registration statement on Form S-8
. 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.
