<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and certain employees which require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors,
officers or employees. The Registrant also has and intends to maintain director and officer
liability insurance.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the
Registrant and its officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of
the Registrant&#146;s officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will

There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement the following

(1) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate
agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances and
subject to certain limitations.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify its directors and officers, and may indemnify its employees and agents, to the full
extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, including in circumstances in which
indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and certain employees which require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors,
officers or employees. The Registrant also has and intends to maintain director and officer
liability insurance.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the
Registrant and its officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of
the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
A. 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 of 1933;
(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 a 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 with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
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.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) 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. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or
II-3
Table of Contents
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
