Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Indemnification
The registrant's certificate of incorporation generally provides that its directors will have no personal liability to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duties.  However, the directors nonetheless remain liable for breaches of their duty of
II - 1
loyalty to the registrant and its stockholders, as well as for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law and transactions from which a director derives improper personal benefit.
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Law") provides that any director against whom a claim shall be successfully asserted under said section for an unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the corporation against stockholders who received the dividend on, or assets for the sale or redemption of, their stock with knowledge that the same was unlawful.  Said section also provides that any such director shall be entitled to contribution from the other directors who voted for or concurred in the unlawful dividend, stock purchase, or redemption.
The registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the Law, as amended from time to time.  Said Section 145 authorizes a corporation, under certain conditions, to indemnify each 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 (including an employee benefit plan), against certain expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, in which he was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of being or having been such director, officer, employee, or agent.  In addition to the indemnification authorized by Section 145 of the Law, the registrant's bylaws provide that the registrant shall indemnify any natural person (not including non-employee lawyers, accountants, actuaries, investment advisers, or arbitrators acting in such capacity) who is or was serving in a fiduciary capacity with respect to one of the registrant's employee benefit or welfare plans or who is or was performing any service or duty on behalf of the registrant with respect to such a plan, against all expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such person in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of such service or performance, to the extent such expenses and amounts are insurable but not covered by collectible insurance or otherwise indemnified.  Such indemnification shall not be available to any
person who participated in or knowingly failed to take appropriate action with respect to any violation of any responsibilities or obligations imposed upon fiduciaries by law, knowing such to be a violation of such responsibilities or obligations.
Insurance
The registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance under which the registrant's directors and officers are insured against loss (as defined) as a result of claims brought against them based upon their acts or omissions in such capacities.

.
(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 of 1933 ("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 by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("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 that 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 benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 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.
(h)  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 provisions described in Item 6 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 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.  The undertaking of the registrant in the preceding sentence does not apply to insurance against liability arising under the Securities Act.
