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

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a Delaware corporation may, under certain circumstances,
indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with certain
civil suits or actions. In addition, Section&nbsp;145 permits a Delaware
corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of
indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise and to purchase
indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of the Registrant&#146;s By-laws require the Registrant to indemnify
its officers and directors and certain other employees and agents against
expenses incurred by them in defending or settling any actions or proceedings
in which they are made parties because they are or were the Registrant&#146;s
directors, officers, employees or agents. The Registrant&#146;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation also provides that no director shall be personally
liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for any act or omission in such
director&#146;s capacity as a director.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into written indemnification agreements with
its directors and certain of its officers. Under these agreements, if an
officer or director makes a claim of indemnification to the registrant, either
a majority of the independent directors or independent legal counsel selected
by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a
determination, within 45&nbsp;days of the Registrant&#146;s receipt of such claim,
whether the officer or director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware
law that would permit (under Delaware law) and require (under the
indemnification agreement) the Company to indemnify the officer or director.

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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a Delaware corporation may, under certain circumstances,
indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with certain
civil suits or actions. In addition, Section 145 permits a Delaware
corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of
indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise and to purchase
indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
Article VI of the Registrant's By-laws require the Registrant to indemnify
its officers and directors and certain other employees and agents against
expenses incurred by them in defending or settling any actions or proceedings
in which they are made parties because they are or were the Registrant's
directors, officers, employees or agents. The Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation also provides that no director shall be personally
liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for any act or omission in such
director's capacity as a director.
The Registrant has entered into written indemnification agreements with
its directors and certain of its officers. Under these agreements, if an
officer or director makes a claim of indemnification to the registrant, either
a majority of the independent directors or independent legal counsel selected
by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a
determination, within 45 days of the Registrant's receipt of such claim,
whether the officer or director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware
law that would permit (under Delaware law) and require (under the
indemnification agreement) the Company to indemnify the officer or director.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made of the securities registered hereby, 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 this 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i)
and (1)(ii) above 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 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby further 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.
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.
