<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>145 INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE. </B>(a)&nbsp;A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The termination
of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person 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 reasonable cause to believe that the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.

threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, join venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other Court shall deem proper.

successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such

determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is
proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduction set
forth in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect
to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1)&nbsp;by a majority vote
of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a
quorum, or (2)&nbsp;by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even

ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by former directors

partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under this section.

would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.

General Corporation Law. In addition, as permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates
the personal liability of its directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Further, such
limitation of liability also does not affect a director&#146;s standard of conduct or responsibilities
under any other laws, including the Federal securities laws.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 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 provides in regard to indemnification of
directors and officers as follows:
145 INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE.
(a) A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination
of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person 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 reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, join venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or
such other Court shall deem proper.
II-2
Table of Contents
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is
proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduction set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect
to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote
of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a
quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors
and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any,
as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the
other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition
to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its
separate existence had continued.
II-3
Table of Contents
(i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee
benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation"
shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine
all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of
Chancery may summarily determine a corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including
attorneys' fees).
Reference is made to the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws which require
the Company to indemnify the persons whom it may indemnify under Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates
the personal liability of its directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Further, such
limitation of liability also does not affect a director's standard of conduct or responsibilities
under any other laws, including the Federal securities laws.

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;
(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 the 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
II-5
Table of Contents
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
