<P style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8.867px; text-indent:48px" align=justify>The registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of the registrant's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Statutory Provisions Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of members of its board of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of a director's fiduciary duty of care. The provision would have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, no provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching his duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying an unlawful dividend or approving an illegal stock repurchase, or obtaining an improper personal benefit.</P>

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 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 expenses which the </P>

<P style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8.867px; text-indent:48px" align=justify>An indemnification can be made by the corporation only upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

A corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability. The indemnification provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 the person. The registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation limits a director's liability for monetary damages to the registrant and its stockholders for breaches of fiduciary duty except under the circumstances outlined in the Delaware General Corporation Law as described above.</P>
<P style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8.867px; text-indent:48px" align=justify>The registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation extends indemnification rights to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law to directors and officers involved in any action, suit or proceeding where the basis of the involvement is the person's alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer of the registrant. </P>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of corporations for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of the registrant's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Statutory Provisions Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of members of its board of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of a director's fiduciary duty of care. The provision would have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, no provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching his duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying an unlawful dividend or approving an illegal stock repurchase, or obtaining an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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. 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 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 expenses which the
2
court shall deem proper. Additionally, a corporation is required to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses to the extent that the directors or officers have been successful on the merits or otherwise in any action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter.
An indemnification can be made by the corporation only upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the party seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. A corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability. The indemnification provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 the person. The registrant's certificate of incorporation limits a director's liability for monetary damages to the registrant and its stockholders for breaches of fiduciary duty except under the circumstances outlined in the Delaware General Corporation Law as described above.
The registrant's certificate of incorporation extends indemnification rights to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law to directors and officers involved in any action, suit or proceeding where the basis of the involvement is the person's alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer of the registrant.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
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 of 1933, as amended (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; and
(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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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.
3
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser
(c)
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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d)
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 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 to the questions 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.
