<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the 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), because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity
may be 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 if, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was
unlawful.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the 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 because the person is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, against any 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person
in any such capacity, or arising out of the person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the
law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, of the Registrant
provide in effect that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Registrant may indemnify its
directors and officers to the extent authorized or permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law. The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under policies of insurance
maintained by the Registrant, subject to the limits of the policies, against certain losses arising
from any claims made against them by reason of being or having been such directors or officers. In
addition, the Registrant has entered into contracts with certain of its directors and officers
providing for indemnification of such persons by the Registrant to the full extent authorized or
permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

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;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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

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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&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

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration

<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
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(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the 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), because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity
may be 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 if, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the 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 because the person is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, against any 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.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person
in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the
law.
The certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, of the Registrant
provide in effect that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Registrant may indemnify its
directors and officers to the extent authorized or permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law. The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured under policies of insurance
maintained by the Registrant, subject to the limits of the policies, against certain losses arising
from any claims made against them by reason of being or having been such directors or officers. In
addition, the Registrant has entered into contracts with certain of its directors and officers
providing for indemnification of such persons by the Registrant to the full extent authorized or
permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

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;
(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 Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in this 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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 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.
