</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with various 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 their
conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
including attorneys&#146; fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be
any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found
liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of
other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that each person
who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to or is
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person, or a
person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant or, is or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is the
alleged action of such person in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"> held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or
suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that,
except when such person is bringing action against the Registrant to recover an
unpaid claim of indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such person
seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding, or part thereof,
initiated by such person only if such proceeding, or part thereof, was
authorized by the Registrant&#146;s board of directors. The Registrant&#146;s
certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall pay the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Such rights are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
thereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of such provision will in
any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant thereunder in respect of any occurrence or
matter arising before any such repeal or modification. The Registrant&#146;s
certificate of incorporation also specifically authorizes the Registrant to
maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to the
Registrant&#146;s employees or agents.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp; To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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; and
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 Registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp; 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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp; 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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits plan&#146;s annual
report pursuant to Section&nbsp;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.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
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 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.

Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with various 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 their
conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be
any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found
liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of
other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that each person
who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to or is
involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person, or a
person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant or, is or was serving at the Registrant's request as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is the
alleged action of such person in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, will be indemnified and

held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or
suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that,
except when such person is bringing action against the Registrant to recover an
unpaid claim of indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such person
seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding, or part thereof,
initiated by such person only if such proceeding, or part thereof, was
authorized by the Registrant's board of directors. The Registrant's
certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall pay the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Such rights are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
thereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of such provision will in
any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant thereunder in respect of any occurrence or
matter arising before any such repeal or modification. The Registrant's
certificate of incorporation also specifically authorizes the Registrant to
maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to the
Registrant's employees or agents.
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation that 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 for:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
•
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that none of the
Registrant's directors will be personally liable to the Registrant or the
Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director, except, if required by the Delaware General Corporation Law as
amended from time to time, for liability
•
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders,
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
•
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or
redemptions, or
•
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of such provision will eliminate or
reduce the effect of such provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any
cause of action, suit or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or
arise before such amendment or repeal.
The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of
its current directors and executive officers to give such directors and
officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the
indemnification set forth in the Registrant's certificate of incorporation.

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,
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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 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 benefits 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.
C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
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 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.
