of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) allows for
the indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for
liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act. Article&nbsp;XII of the Company&#146;s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and Article&nbsp;VI of the Company&#146;s bylaws
authorize indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors, officers, employees and
other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL.</font></p>

has entered into agreements with its directors and certain officers that will
require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company maintains
liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.</font></p>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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.&#160; 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.
Interests

Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") allows for
the indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for
liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act. Article XII of the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and Article VI of the Company's bylaws
authorize indemnification of the Company's directors, officers, employees and
other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL.
The Company
has entered into agreements with its directors and certain officers that will
require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The Company maintains
liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
The above
discussion of the DGCL and of the Company's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, and indemnification agreements is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute, amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements.
Item 7.

Item 8.
Exhibits
See the attached Exhibit Index
at page 8, 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;
(ii)
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 thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate,
4
represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
and
(iii)
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 (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 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.
(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
(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.
(h)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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.
