<P align="left">Item&nbsp;6.&nbsp;<u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</u>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a director of a
corporation (i)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by the corporation for expenses in defense
of any action or proceeding if the director is sued by reason of his service to
the corporation, to the extent that such person has been successful in defense
of such action or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
raised
<P align="center">&#150;1&#150;
<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>


<P>in such litigation, (ii)&nbsp;may, in actions other than actions by or in the right
of the corporation, be indemnified for expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement of such litigation, even if he is not successful on the
merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and in a criminal
proceeding, if he did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful) and (iii)&nbsp;may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses (but not
judgments or settlements) of any action by the corporation or of a derivative
action, even if he is not successful, provided that he acted in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and provided that no indemnification is permitted without
court approval if the director was adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
The Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provided that the Company
(i)&nbsp;may indemnify its officers, employees and agents and (ii)&nbsp;must indemnify
its directors to the full extent permitted by law, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and
advance expenses to its directors at their request provided that they undertake
to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that they are not
entitled to indemnification. The Company maintains a directors and officers
liability insurance policy and, in addition, has entered into indemnity
agreements with its directors which constitute binding agreements of the
Company to indemnify its directors and prevent the Company from modifying its
indemnification policies in a way that is adverse to the directors who are
parties to such agreements.

Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration
Statement the documents listed in (a) through (c) below:
(a) The Registrant's latest annual report filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, or either (I) the latest prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 that
contains audited financial statements for the Registrant's
latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed
or (II) the Registrant's effective registration statement on
Form 10 or 10-SB filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 containing audited financial statements for the
Registrant's latest fiscal year;
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a)

to in (a) above;
(c) If the class of securities to be offered is
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the description of such class of securities contained in
a registration statement filed under such Act, including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such
description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all such securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration

Item 4.
Description of Securities.

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a director of a
corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for expenses in defense
of any action or proceeding if the director is sued by reason of his service to
the corporation, to the extent that such person has been successful in defense
of such action or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
raised
–1–
Table of Contents
in such litigation, (ii) may, in actions other than actions by or in the right
of the corporation, be indemnified for expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement of such litigation, even if he is not successful on the
merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and in a criminal
proceeding, if he did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful) and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses (but not
judgments or settlements) of any action by the corporation or of a derivative
action, even if he is not successful, provided that he acted in good faith and
in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and provided that no indemnification is permitted without
court approval if the director was adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provided that the Company
(i) may indemnify its officers, employees and agents and (ii) must indemnify
its directors to the full extent permitted by law, including those
circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and
advance expenses to its directors at their request provided that they undertake
to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that they are not
entitled to indemnification. The Company maintains a directors and officers
liability insurance policy and, in addition, has entered into indemnity
agreements with its directors which constitute binding agreements of the
Company to indemnify its directors and prevent the Company from modifying its
indemnification policies in a way that is adverse to the directors who are
parties to such agreements.

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;
–2–
Table of Contents
(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,
represents a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the 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 by
the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purposes 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 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
–3–
Table of Contents
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 Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
