to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows for indemnification of officers,
directors, and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Article 8 of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation and Article IX of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of the
Registrant's directors, officers, employees, and other agents to the extent and under the
circumstances permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant has also entered
into agreements with its directors and executive officers that will require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status or service as directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
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 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.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
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.
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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

Table of Contents
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company 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 Company 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.
