<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our officers and directors are covered by the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), the charter, the bylaws, individual indemnification agreements with us and
insurance policies which serve to limit, and, in some instances, to indemnify them against,
liabilities which they may incur in those capacities. These various provisions are described below.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances. </I>The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit
or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of directors&#146; fiduciary duty of care. This duty of care requires that,
when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment
based on all significant information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations
authorized by the DGCL, directors are accountable to corporations and their stockholders for
monetary damages for conduct constituting negligence or gross negligence in the exercise of their
duty of care. Although the statute does not change directors&#146; duty of care, it enables corporations
to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our charter
limits the liability of directors to us or our stockholders (in their capacity as directors but not
in their capacity as officers) to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware statute.
Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a
director&#146;s fiduciary duty as director, except for liability:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Indemnification and Insurance. </I>Under the DGCL, we have the power, under specified
circumstances generally requiring the directors or officers to have acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests, to indemnify our
directors and officers in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a
third party or in our name, by reason of the fact that they were or are our directors or officers;
and against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with that
action, suit or proceeding. The bylaws generally provide for mandatory indemnification of our
directors and officers to the full extent provided by Delaware corporate law. In addition, we have
entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers which generally provide for
indemnification of the officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL,
including under circumstances for which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary under
Delaware law.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have purchased and intend to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our
director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving at our request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by
him or her in that capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not we would
have the power or obligation to indemnify him or her against that liability under the provisions of
our charter or bylaws.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, those provisions are, in the opinion of the SEC, against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and are therefore unenforceable.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our officers and directors are covered by the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "DGCL"), the charter, the bylaws, individual indemnification agreements with us and
insurance policies which serve to limit, and, in some instances, to indemnify them against,
liabilities which they may incur in those capacities. These various provisions are described below.
Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances.
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit
or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. This duty of care requires that,
when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment
based on all significant information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations
authorized by the DGCL, directors are accountable to corporations and their stockholders for
monetary damages for conduct constituting negligence or gross negligence in the exercise of their
duty of care. Although the statute does not change directors' duty of care, it enables corporations
to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our charter
limits the liability of directors to us or our stockholders (in their capacity as directors but not
in their capacity as officers) to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware statute.
Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a
director's fiduciary duty as director, except for liability:
•
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law;
•
for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful share repurchases or redemptions
as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
•
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Indemnification and Insurance.
Under the DGCL, we have the power, under specified
circumstances generally requiring the directors or officers to have acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests, to indemnify our
directors and officers in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a
third party or in our name, by reason of the fact that they were or are our directors or officers;
and against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with that
action, suit or proceeding. The bylaws generally provide for mandatory indemnification of our
directors and officers to the full extent provided by Delaware corporate law. In addition, we have
entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers which generally provide for
indemnification of the officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL,
including under circumstances for which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary under
Delaware law.
We have purchased and intend to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our
director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving at our request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by
him or her in that capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not we would
have the power or obligation to indemnify him or her against that liability under the provisions of
our charter or bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, those provisions are, in the opinion of the SEC, against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and are therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
We hereby undertake:
(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; and
(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 (1)(i) and (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 us 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.
We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of our 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 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
Table of Contents
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
