<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Item&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Below is a description of certain provisions of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (as amended, the &#147;Certificate&#148;) and the Bylaws (as amended,
the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) of the Company, and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
&#147;DGCL&#148;), as these provisions relate to the indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Company. This description is intended
only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Certificate, the Bylaws and the DGCL.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U><B>Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances.</B></U>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Tenth of the Certificate provides that to the fullest extent
provided by law a director will not be personally liable for monetary damages
to the Company or its stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions
in the performance of his or her duties as a director. Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of
the DGCL provides that, in its certificate of incorporation, a corporation may
limit or eliminate a director&#146;s personal liability for monetary damages to the
corporation or its stockholders, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to such 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;for paying a dividend or approving a stock
repurchase in violation of Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. While Article
Tenth of the Certificate provides directors with protection from awards for
monetary damages for breaches of the duty of care, it does not eliminate the
directors&#146; duty of care. Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on
the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission
based on a director&#146;s breach of the duty of care. The provisions of Article
Tenth as described above apply to officers of the Company only if they are
directors of the Company and are acting in their capacity as directors, and
does not apply to officers of the Company who are not directors.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U><B>Indemnification and Insurance.</B></U>
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the corporation
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement, in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation, as a derivative action), if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of actions by or in the
right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action, and no indemnification shall be made
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines is fair and
reasonable in view of all circumstances. Article&nbsp;VIII of the Bylaws provides
that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent provided by Delaware law, thereby affording such persons the protections
available to directors, officers, employees and agents of Delaware corporations
as summarized above. The Company maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance which insures against liabilities that directors or officers of the
Company may incur in such capacities.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in each case

In addition, all documents hereafter filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a

Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is
or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except
as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.
Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Below is a description of certain provisions of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate") and the Bylaws (as amended,
the "Bylaws") of the Company, and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), as these provisions relate to the indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Company. This description is intended
only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Certificate, the Bylaws and the DGCL.
Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances.
Article Tenth of the Certificate provides that to the fullest extent
provided by law a director will not be personally liable for monetary damages
to the Company or its stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions
in the performance of his or her duties as a director. Section 102(b)(7) of
the DGCL provides that, in its certificate of incorporation, a corporation may
limit or eliminate a director's personal liability for monetary damages to the
corporation or its stockholders, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to such 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) for paying a dividend or approving a stock
repurchase in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. While Article
Tenth of the Certificate provides directors with protection from awards for
monetary damages for breaches of the duty of care, it does not eliminate the
directors' duty of care. Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on
the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission
based on a director's breach of the duty of care. The provisions of Article
Tenth as described above apply to officers of the Company only if they are
directors of the Company and are acting in their capacity as directors, and
does not apply to officers of the Company who are not directors.
Indemnification and Insurance.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the corporation
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement, in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation, as a derivative action), if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of actions by or in the
right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action, and no indemnification shall be made
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines is fair and
reasonable in view of all circumstances. Article VIII of the Bylaws provides
that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent provided by Delaware law, thereby affording such persons the protections
available to directors, officers, employees and agents of Delaware corporations
as summarized above. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability
insurance which insures against liabilities that directors or officers of the
Company may incur in such capacities.
