who is serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of

settlements and other expenses incurred in such capacity if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the event of an
action or suit by or in the right of the Company, 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 for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the Company 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 such
expenses as the court shall deem proper.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company
hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;or
Section&nbsp;15(d)&nbsp;of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 <i><font style="font-style:italic;">bona fide </font></i>offering thereof.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to the Company&#146;s directors, officers, and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has 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 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 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></p>

his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts

Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit. This Article XI shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date
when this Article XI becomes effective.
Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the Company the power to indemnify
its directors, officers, employees and agents against liability arising out of
their respective capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents. Article VII
of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify any person
who is serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of
another entity at the request of the Company against judgments, fines,
settlements and other expenses incurred in such capacity if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the event of an
action or suit by or in the right of the Company, 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 for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the Company 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 such
expenses as the court shall deem proper.
The Company has a directors'
and officers' liability insurance policy.
The above discussion is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections
102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and
Bylaws.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
1.  The Company hereby undertakes:
(a) 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;
(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. 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; 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)(i) and
(a)(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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(b) That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(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 Company
hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
3.  Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to the Company's directors, officers, and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has 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 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 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.
