<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsection (b)&nbsp;of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, 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 such person acted in any of
the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action was brought shall determine
that despite the adjudication of liability such director or officer is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall
deem proper.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director or
officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit

claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification provided for in Section&nbsp;145 shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may
be entitled; and that the corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such

In the case of suits brought in the name of the Registrant, Article&nbsp;VII of the
Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any officer,
director, employee or agent of the Registrant against any costs of defending or
settling any threatened, pending or completed suit or proceeding by reason of
the officer, director, employee or agent&#146;s service to the Registrant, provided
that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and also provided that indemnification in the event that the
officer, director, employee or agent is found liable is permitted only as
determined by a court as fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Expenses
of officers, directors, employees or agents of the Registrant incurred in
connection with any of the above proceedings may be advanced by the Registrant
prior to a final resolution of any such action or proceeding.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with
its directors and officers containing provisions that provide for the maximum
indemnity allowed to directors and officers by the DGCL and the Registrant&#146;s
Bylaws, subject to certain exceptions. The indemnification agreements may
require the Registrant, among other obligations, to indemnify such directors
and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful
misconduct of a culpable nature, provided that such person acted in good faith
and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition,
the indemnification agreements provide generally that the Registrant will,
subject to certain exceptions, advance the expenses incurred by directors and
officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they may be
entitled to indemnification. The Registrant also maintains directors&#146; and
officers&#146; liability insurance.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has
the power to indemnify its officers and directors in certain circumstances.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, 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),
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding provided that such director or officer acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, provided that such director or officer had no cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any director or officer, or former director or officer, 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 such person acted in any of
the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action was brought shall determine
that despite the adjudication of liability such director or officer is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall
deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director or
officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification provided for in Section 145 shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may
be entitled; and that the corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liabilities under Section 145.
In the case of suits not brought in the name of the Registrant, Article
VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant against costs of
defending or settling any threatened, pending or completed lawsuit or
proceeding brought by reason of the officer, director, employee or agent's
service to the Registrant, provided that the officer, director, employee or
agent acted in
2
Table of Contents
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Registrant, and in the case of any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
In the case of suits brought in the name of the Registrant, Article VII of the
Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any officer,
director, employee or agent of the Registrant against any costs of defending or
settling any threatened, pending or completed suit or proceeding by reason of
the officer, director, employee or agent's service to the Registrant, provided
that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and also provided that indemnification in the event that the
officer, director, employee or agent is found liable is permitted only as
determined by a court as fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Expenses
of officers, directors, employees or agents of the Registrant incurred in
connection with any of the above proceedings may be advanced by the Registrant
prior to a final resolution of any such action or proceeding.
The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with
its directors and officers containing provisions that provide for the maximum
indemnity allowed to directors and officers by the DGCL and the Registrant's
Bylaws, subject to certain exceptions. The indemnification agreements may
require the Registrant, among other obligations, to indemnify such directors
and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful
misconduct of a culpable nature, provided that such person acted in good faith
and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition,
the indemnification agreements provide generally that the Registrant will,
subject to certain exceptions, advance the expenses incurred by directors and
officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they may be
entitled to indemnification. The Registrant also maintains directors' and
officers' liability insurance.

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 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;
(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)(1)(i) and (a)(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 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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 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.
(c)  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 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,
4
Table of Contents
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 a final
adjudication of such issue.
