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 Registrant) by reason of the fact that that person is or was our
director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving at our
request as a director or officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if that person acted in good
faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With respect to actions, suits or proceedings by or
in the right of the Registrant, our By-Laws provide that we shall 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
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that that person
is or was our director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving
at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement
of the action or suit if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests;
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which the
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,
that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We shall only indemnify an officer or director
(unless ordered by a court) to the extent authorized in the specific case upon
a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in
the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct
described above.&#160; This determination
shall be made by (i)&nbsp;a majority vote of the directors who are not parties
to the action, suit, or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii)&nbsp;if
there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii)&nbsp;by the stockholders.&#160; To the extent, however, that one of our
directors or officers has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim,
issue, or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific
case.&#160; If we do not authorize the
indemnification of an officer or director in a specific case, that officer or
director may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for
indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under our By-Laws.&#160; The basis of such indemnification by a court
shall be a determination by the court that indemnification of the director or
officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the
applicable standards of conduct set forth above.&#160; Neither our contrary determination in the
specific case nor the absence of any determination shall be a defense to such
application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification
has not met any applicable standard of conduct.&#160;
If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking
indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting
such application.</font></p>

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 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  However, our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, does not eliminate or limit the liability of our
II-1
directors for: (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
In addition, our By-Laws provide that we shall
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 Registrant) by reason of the fact that that person is or was our
director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving at our
request as a director or officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if that person acted in good
faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that person's conduct was unlawful.
With respect to actions, suits or proceedings by or
in the right of the Registrant, our By-Laws provide that we shall 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
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that that person
is or was our director or officer, or is or was our director or officer serving
at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement
of the action or suit if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests;
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which the
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,
that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
We shall only indemnify an officer or director
(unless ordered by a court) to the extent authorized in the specific case upon
a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in
the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct
described above.  This determination
shall be made by (i) a majority vote of the directors who are not parties
to the action, suit, or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) if
there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.  To the extent, however, that one of our
directors or officers has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim,
issue, or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that person in
connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific
case.  If we do not authorize the
indemnification of an officer or director in a specific case, that officer or
director may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for
indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under our By-Laws.  The basis of such indemnification by a court
shall be a determination by the court that indemnification of the director or
officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the
applicable standards of conduct set forth above.  Neither our contrary determination in the
specific case nor the absence of any determination shall be a defense to such
application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification
has not met any applicable standard of conduct. 
If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking
indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting
such application.
II-2
Our By-Laws further provide that we shall pay in
advance of final disposition expenses incurred by a director or officer in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit,
or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or
officer to repay the advanced amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
The rights to indemnification and advancement of
expenses described above shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under the Certificate of Incorporation, any By-Law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in the
person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office, it being our policy to indemnify the persons described above to
the fullest extent permitted by law.  We
are not, however, obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection
with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by that person unless the
proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by our Board of
Directors, except in the case of director or officer applications to a court
for indemnification as described above.
We may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was our director or officer, or is or was our director or
officer serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan,
or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and
incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's
status as such, whether or not we would have the power or the obligation to
indemnify the person against such liability under our By-Laws.
We may also, to the extent authorized from time to
time by our Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the
advancement of expenses to our employees and agents similar to those conferred
to our directors and officers as described above.
None of the provisions described above preclude our
indemnification of any person we have the power or obligation to indemnify
under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
or otherwise.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
1.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
a.
to
file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities registered
hereby are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(1)
to
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(2)
to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(3)
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
paragraphs 1(a)(1) and 1(a)(2) 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
b.
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
c.
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.
2.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby further 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 (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.
3.
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 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
