for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for
any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall
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 Registrant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by
reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or
is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of
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 him in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that
the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>

Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the

any person 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
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the

respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant 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. </FONT></P>

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 forgoing 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 of 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.</FONT></TD>

Item 4. Description of
Securities.
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not
applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Article
11 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director shall not be personally
liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for
any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall
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 Registrant) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director
or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by
reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or
is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of
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 him in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that
the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws also provides that the Registrant (i) shall
indemnify any person 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
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director of officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify
any person 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
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Registrant except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant 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 Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or
officer of the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of the
Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, he may be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.
-2-
The
Registrant's Bylaws also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on
behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant for any
liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of
whether the Bylaws would permit indemnification. The Registrant currently
maintains liability insurance for its officers and directors.
The
Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers,
in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. These agreements, among other things,
indemnify the Registrant's directors and officers for certain expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts
incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by
or in the right of the Registrant, arising out of such person's services as
a director or officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any
other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request
of the Registrant.

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 of 1933; (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; and (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 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-
(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 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 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 forgoing 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 of 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.
