Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 of 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.</font></div>

6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to
provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation
shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Paragraph
A of Article Eighth of our certificate of incorporation provides:
"A
director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (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) under Section 174 of the GCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the GCL is amended to
authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so
amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of
the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director
of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such
repeal or modification."
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees
and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of
officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.
"Section
145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents;
insurance.
(a)           A
corporation shall have 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) by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, 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, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, 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 the person
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
reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
(b)           A
corporation shall have 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 by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against 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 and 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 corporation unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery or 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 such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.
(c)           To
the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection therewith.
(d)           Any
indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by
a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the
person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a)
and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a
person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a
majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such
directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a
quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.
(e)           Expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid
upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems
appropriate.
(f)           The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office.  A right
to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of
the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not
be
eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of
the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or
advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of
such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after
such action or omission has occurred.
(g)           A
corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred
by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under this section.
(h)           For
purposes of this section, references to "the corporation" shall include, in
addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,
if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to
indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under
this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such
person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.
(i)           For
purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references
to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation" as referred to in this section.
(j)           The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this section 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 such a person.
(k)           The
Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and
determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought
under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily
determine a corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys'
fees)."
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the SEC 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 of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to the 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.
Paragraph
B of Article Eighth of our certificate of incorporation provides:
"The
Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended
from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director
in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit
or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized hereby."
The
Company has entered
into
separate indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its
officers. The indemnification agreements provide for the indemnification of and
the advancement of expenses to such directors and officers to the fullest extent
(whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in the
indemnification agreements, and for the continued coverage of such directors and
officers under the Corporation's directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies.

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 in 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.  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 a 20 percent 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.
Paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(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 with or furnished to the Commission 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; 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, each filing of the Company'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 this 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 Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 of 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.
