liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as described above, 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 Act and is,&#160; 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Delaware General
Corporation Law
Section 145(a)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
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
the action, suit or proceeding if he 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.
Section 145(b)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
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 the 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 the person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware 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, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that 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 Section 145(a) and (b), or in
3
defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection therewith.
Section 145(d)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any indemnification under
Section 145(a) and (b) (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 Section 145(a) and (b). The 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, (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote
of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (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.
Section 145(e)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that 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 the
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in Section 145. The expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be
so paid upon those terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems
appropriate.
Section 145(f)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145
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.
Section 145(g)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have
the 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 the person and incurred by
the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person
against such liability under Section 145.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation
ARTICLE Fifteenth of the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:
4
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) for the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases under Section 174
of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If after approval by
the stockholders of this provision the General Corporation Law of Delaware 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 General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so amended. Any repeal or
modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall
be by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%)
of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the
election of Directors, considered for the purposes of this Article FIFTEENTH
as one class, shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any
right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of
such repeal or modification.

Undertakings
.
(a)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
5
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement 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;
(2)
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;
(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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as described above, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
