law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties
as a director. The Company&#146;s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers and
directors and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware Law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify
any person made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), has no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">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 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware

any person made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), has no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K
. 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; 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) of this section do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by these 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 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)
Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K
. 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 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.
(c)
Item 512(c) of Regulation S-K
. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant
Table of Contents
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.
