<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) permits a corporation to indemnify officers, directors,
employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal actions, had no
reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by
or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, 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 a court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
court shall deem proper. The DGCL provides that a corporation may advance
expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written undertaking to reimburse the
corporation if indemnification is not appropriate) and must reimburse a
successful defendant for expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, actually and
reasonably incurred, and permits a corporation to purchase and maintain

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 DGCL (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 Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
provides for the elimination of personal liability of a director for breach of
fiduciary duty as permitted by the DGCL and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of
the Company permit indemnification by the Company of its directors and officers
to the full extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification rights conferred by the Company&#146;s Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company maintains
an insurance policy on behalf of its directors and officers insuring against
certain liabilities.

such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

Item  4.   Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item  5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item  6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "DGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify officers, directors,
employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal actions, had no
reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by
or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, 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 a court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
court shall deem proper. The DGCL provides that a corporation may advance
expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written undertaking to reimburse the
corporation if indemnification is not appropriate) and must reimburse a
successful defendant for expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and
reasonably incurred, and permits a corporation to purchase and maintain
liability insurance for its directors and officers.

Table of Contents
Reference is also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, 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 DGCL (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 Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
provides for the elimination of personal liability of a director for breach of
fiduciary duty as permitted by the DGCL and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of
the Company permit indemnification by the Company of its directors and officers
to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.
The indemnification rights conferred by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which a person
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company maintains
an insurance policy on behalf of its directors and officers insuring against
certain liabilities.

Item  9.   Undertakings.
(a)
Rule 415 Offering. 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
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 information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 the
offering.
5
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 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.
