<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify each director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Company against all liabilities and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which
he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Company, to the full extent permitted by
Delaware General Corporation Law. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the Company generally has the power to indemnify its
present and former directors and officers against expenses and liabilities
incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are
threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in those positions so
long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to
any criminal section, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to suits by or in the right of the Company, however,
indemnification is generally limited to attorney&#146;s fees and other expenses and
is not available if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless
the court determines that indemnification is appropriate. The statute
expressly provides that the power to indemnify

agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The
Company also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its directors
and officers.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preceding discussion of the Company&#146;s articles of incorporation and
Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Company&#146;s articles of
incorporation and Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and
officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company will, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses,
judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that they
were directors or officers of the Company or assumed certain responsibilities
at the direction of the Company.

The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify each director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Company against all liabilities and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which
he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Company, to the full extent permitted by
Delaware General Corporation Law. Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the Company generally has the power to indemnify its
present and former directors and officers against expenses and liabilities
incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are
threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in those positions so
long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to
any criminal section, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful.
With respect to suits by or in the right of the Company, however,
indemnification is generally limited to attorney's fees and other expenses and
is not available if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless
the court determines that indemnification is appropriate. The statute
expressly provides that the power to indemnify
2
authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The
Company also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its directors
and officers.
The preceding discussion of the Company's articles of incorporation and
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Company's articles of
incorporation and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and
officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company will, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses,
judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that they
were directors or officers of the Company or assumed certain responsibilities
at the direction of the Company.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

another filing of the Registrant with the Commission, each of the following
