</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section&nbsp;145 of General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the &#147;GCL&#148;), provides that a Delaware
corporation has the power to 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 in such capacity for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit
brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification of any director, officer, employee
and other agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit is permitted if such 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; however, no indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such 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 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 which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The
Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the GCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant or, if such
person is or was serving in such capacity for another enterprise at the request of the Registrant
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation has the
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the GCL. The Registrant&#146;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws authorize the purchase of such insurance, and the
Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;102(7) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation also may, with certain limitations,
set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful
payments of dividends or stock repurchases), or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation
includes such a provision.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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
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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "GCL"), provides that a Delaware
corporation has the power to 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 in such capacity for
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 such action, suit or proceeding 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit
brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification of any director, officer, employee
and other agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit is permitted if such 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; however, no indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such 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 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 which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
Under Section 145 of the GCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant or, if such
person is or was serving in such capacity for another enterprise at the request of the Registrant
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation has the
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the GCL. The Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws authorize the purchase of such insurance, and the
Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance.
Under Section 102(7) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation also may, with certain limitations,
set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law (3) under Section 174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful
payments of dividends or stock repurchases), or (4) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
includes such a provision.

Item 9. Undertakings.
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 of
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
hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement;
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 (1)(i) and (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 Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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.
4.
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a 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 the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however
,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the 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 the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
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 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.
Table of Contents
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
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.
