<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; padding-left:48px; text-indent:48px">(2) &nbsp;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.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:96px">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. &nbsp;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 persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) 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.</P>

Item 4:  Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5:  Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6:  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") of the Registrant contains a provision which eliminates the liability of a director to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
The Certificate further provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, upon such determination having been made as to his good faith and conduct as required by said Delaware General Corporation Law.  Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
2
In addition to the Certificate of the Registrant, Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Act requires the Registrant to indemnify a present or former director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any proceeding described above.  The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that a court may order indemnification of a director if it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.
The Registrant also maintains an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against liability for certain acts or omissions while acting in their official capacity.
Item 7:  Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8:  Exhibits.
The exhibits to the Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index elsewhere herein.
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 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 the post-effective amendment to 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 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.
(h)
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 persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) 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.
