such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the

against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides generally that all directors and officers (as well as other employees and agents) may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with certain specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation (a "derivative action")), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard of care applies in derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defense or settlement of an action, and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification if the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
Section 145 further states that to the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any specified action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.  Section 145 permits a corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.  Finally, Section 145 provides that the rights conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right that any person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and Section 145 authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees and agents against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation otherwise would have the power to indemnify them under Section 145.
Article Nine of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended and except as otherwise provided in the Company's By-Laws, (a) no director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its stockholders, and (b) the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors.  Article Nine provides further that any repeal or modification of Article Nine shall not affect any right or protection of a director in respect of any act, omission or condition existing or any event or circumstance occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
Article V of the Company's By-Laws provides similarly for indemnification by the Company of the directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, except that the
II-2
Company shall not indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding initiated by such director or officer (other than a proceeding to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses) unless such proceeding was authorized in writing by the Board of Directors.  Article V provides further for mandatory advancement of expenses by the Company so long as the indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined by a final adjudication that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.  Article V provides further that the Company's indemnification and advancement obligations to any director or officer who serves at the Company's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity shall be reduced by any amount collected by such director or officer as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other entity.
All of the Registrant's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

1933;
(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, 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 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 this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement;

not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective
II-3

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement; and
(B)  paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of
this section do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-3
or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with

provided pursuant to Item 1100(c) of Regulation AB.
(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.

the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished;
provided,
that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective
amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and
other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the
prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial
statements.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to Registration Statements on Form F-3, a
post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and
information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933 or Rule 3-19 of the Commission if such financial statements and
information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability
purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such
date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this Registration Statement
relating to the securities in this Registration Statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided,
however,
that no statement made in this Registration Statement or
prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement will, as to
a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in this Registration Statement
or prospectus that was part of this Registration Statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii)
If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of this Registration Statement
relating to an offering, other than Registration Statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed
to be part of and included in this Registration Statement as of the date it is
first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however,
that no statement made in this
Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration
Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of this
Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
this Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of this Registration
Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
(6)  That, for the
purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of
1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of
the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
Registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or
its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
II-5
(b)
Filings Incorporating Subsequent
Exchange Act Documents by Reference.
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 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)
Request for Acceleration of
Effective Date or Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-8.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
