reasonably incurred by him in connection with 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 being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good
faith in a manner 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 his conduct was unlawful.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of
incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for violations of the directors&#146; fiduciary duty of care, except (i)&nbsp;for
any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the 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;pursuant to Section
174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;SEVENTH of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, no
director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
and that the Registrant may indemnify directors and officers of the Registrant
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;IV of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-laws provides that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to third party claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent
permitted and in the manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as
in effect from time to time shall indemnify any person who was or is made a
party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether
civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative in nature (other
than an action by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or, if at a
time when he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was
serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant as
a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent (a
''Subsidiary Officer&#146;&#146;) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
including any charitable or not-for-profit public service organization or trade
association (an ''Affiliated Entity&#146;&#146;), against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees and disbursements), costs, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding 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 action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
provided, however, that (i)&nbsp;the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify
a director or officer of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any
Affiliated Entity against expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit,
proceeding or investigation to which such person is threatened to be made a
party but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the
approval of the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the Chairman, a Vice
Chairman or the President of the Registrant and (ii)&nbsp;the Registrant shall not
be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in settlement unless the
Registrant has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or 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 such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, a person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to
indemnification pursuant to this paragraph against costs or expenses incurred
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person
against the Registrant or any Affiliated Entity or any person who is or was a
director, officer, partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of the
Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity in their capacity
as such, but such indemnification may be provided by the Registrant in a
specific case as permitted by the Amended and Restated By-laws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-laws also provides that, with
respect to derivative claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted
and in the manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect
from time to time shall indemnify any person who was or is made a party to or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit (including any appeal thereof) brought by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, if at a time
when he or she was a director or officer to the Registrant, is or was serving
at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant as a
Subsidiary Officer of an Affiliated Entity against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action or suit 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, 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 Registrant unless, and only to the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the

amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;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 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 the final adjudication of such issue.

The legality of the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, par value

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the ''DGCL'') grants each corporation organized
thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with 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 being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good
faith in a manner 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 his conduct was unlawful.
II-2
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of
incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for violations of the directors' fiduciary duty of care, except (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the 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) pursuant to Section
174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article SEVENTH of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, no
director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
and that the Registrant may indemnify directors and officers of the Registrant
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Article IV of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that:
With respect to third party claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent
permitted and in the manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as
in effect from time to time shall indemnify any person who was or is made a
party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether
civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative in nature (other
than an action by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or, if at a
time when he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was
serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant as
a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent (a
''Subsidiary Officer'') of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
including any charitable or not-for-profit public service organization or trade
association (an ''Affiliated Entity''), against expenses (including attorneys'
fees and disbursements), costs, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding 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 action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
provided, however, that (i) the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify
a director or officer of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any
Affiliated Entity against expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit,
proceeding or investigation to which such person is threatened to be made a
party but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the
approval of the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the Chairman, a Vice
Chairman or the President of the Registrant and (ii) the Registrant shall not
be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in settlement unless the
Registrant has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or 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 such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, a person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to
indemnification pursuant to this paragraph against costs or expenses incurred
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person
against the Registrant or any Affiliated Entity or any person who is or was a
director, officer, partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of the
Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity in their capacity
as such, but such indemnification may be provided by the Registrant in a
specific case as permitted by the Amended and Restated By-laws.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws also provides that, with
respect to derivative claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted
and in the manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect
from time to time shall indemnify any person who was or is made a party to or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit (including any appeal thereof) brought by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, if at a time
when he or she was a director or officer to the Registrant, is or was serving
at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant as a
Subsidiary Officer of an Affiliated Entity against expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action or suit 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, 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 Registrant unless, and only to the
extent that,
II-3
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such
judgment was rendered 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
and costs as the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court
shall deem proper; provided, however, that the Registrant shall not be
obligated to indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant or a Subsidiary
Officer of any Affiliated Entity against expenses incurred in connection with
an action or suit to which such person is threatened to be made a party but
does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the approval of
the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the Chairman, a Vice Chairman
or the President of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a
person shall not be entitled,
as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this paragraph against
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action or suit in the right
of the Registrant commenced by such Person, but such indemnification may be
provided by the Registrant in any specific case as permitted under the Amended
and Restated By-laws.
The Registrant has also obtained officers' and directors' liability
insurance which insures against liabilities that officers and directors of the
Registrant may, in such capacities, incur.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) Rule 415 offering. 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,
II-4
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 20% 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;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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; and
(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, as amended, 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.
(h) 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 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 the final adjudication of such issue.
