changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement;

liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 or 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 Securities Act of 1933 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.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation's board of
directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other
corporate agents.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
certificate of incorporation includes provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors.
In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the bylaws
of the Registrant provide that:
•
The Registrant shall indemnify its directors for serving the Registrant in
those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at the Registrant's request,
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a
corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe such person's conduct was unlawful.
•
The Registrant may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in
those circumstances where indemnification is not required by applicable law.
•
The Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its
directors in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such director shall
undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not
entitled to indemnification.
•
The Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the bylaws to indemnify a
person with respect to proceedings initiated by that person, except with respect to
proceedings authorized by the Registrant's board of directors or brought to enforce a
right to indemnification.
•
The rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive, and the Registrant is
authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers,
employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons.
•
The Registrant may not retroactively amend the bylaw provisions to reduce
its indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees and agents.
The Registrant's policy is to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of its
directors that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and also provide for certain additional procedural protections. The
Registrant also maintains director and officer insurance to insure such persons against certain
liabilities.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the
Registrant and its directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act.

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;
II-3
Table of Contents
(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 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.
C.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or 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 Securities Act of 1933 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.
