<P><FONT size="2">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification of
a corporation&#146;s officers and directors under certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also
provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its officers and directors against any liability asserted against
such person and incurred by him or her in 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 liability under the provisions of Section&nbsp;145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

<P><FONT size="2">Article&nbsp;XI, Section&nbsp;43 of the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws provides
that the Registrant will indemnify its directors to the fullest extent not
prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law. The
Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that the Registrant has the power, but is not
required, to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law. The rights to
indemnity under the Registrant&#146;s bylaws continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of the person. Expenses incurred by a director in defending any
threatened or current civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding brought or threatened to be brought against the director by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was director of the Registrant (or was
serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or executive officer of
another corporation or entity) shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of

it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled under Section
43 of the Registrant&#146;s bylaws to be indemnified by the Registrant. Unless
otherwise provided for in contracts between the Registrant and its officers,
the Registrant is prohibited from advancing funds to officers if the Registrant
determines that the facts known to the Registrant at the time of determination
clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the officer acted in bad faith or in
a manner that the officer did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated certificate incorporation
provides that its directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with for the benefit
of its directors and certain of its executive officers. Generally, the
indemnification agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection permitted
by Delaware law as it may be amended from time to time. Moreover, the
indemnification agreements provide for certain additional indemnification.
Under such additional indemnification provisions, however, an individual will
not receive indemnification for: claims for an accounting of profits from the
purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of
Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act; conduct that the Registrant determines was
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful
misconduct; conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Registrant or resulting in any personal
profit or advantage to the director or officer to which the director or officer
was not legally entitled; any expenses for which payment is actually made to
the director or officer under an insurance policy or indemnity clause, bylaw or
agreement; any expenses or actions for which indemnification is not lawful; or
expenses in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the
director or officer against the Registrant or its directors, officers,
employees or other agents, unless indemnification is expressly required to be
made by law, the proceeding was authorized by the Registrant&#146;s board of
directors, the indemnification is provided by the Registrant pursuant to the
powers vested in the Registrant by Delaware law, or the proceeding is initiated
to enforce the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s rights under the indemnification
agreement. The indemnification agreements provide for the Registrant to advance
to the individual any and all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) incurred in investigating or defending any such action, suit or
proceeding. In order to receive an advance of expenses, the individual must
submit to the Registrant a statement or statements that reasonably evidences
such expenses. Also, the individual must repay such advances upon a final
judicial decision that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. The
Registrant&#146;s obligations under the indemnification agreements continue for as
long as the director or officer is a director, officer, employee or other agent
of the Registrant (or is serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or
executive officer of another corporation or entity) and, after termination of
the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s relationship with the Registrant, for so long as
the director or officer shall be subject to any possible claim or action, suit
or proceeding by reason of the fact that Agent was serving in the capacity
referred to herein.

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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) (&#167; 230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth

statement.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification of
a corporation's officers and directors under certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also
provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its officers and directors against any liability asserted against
such person and incurred by him or her in 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 liability under the provisions of Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Article XI, Section 43 of the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws provides
that the Registrant will indemnify its directors to the fullest extent not
prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law. The
Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant has the power, but is not
required, to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law. The rights to
indemnity under the Registrant's bylaws continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of the person. Expenses incurred by a director in defending any
threatened or current civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding brought or threatened to be brought against the director by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was director of the Registrant (or was
serving at the Registrant's request as a director or executive officer of
another corporation or entity) shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon request from the
director and, if required by Delaware General Corporation Law, receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director to
Table of Contents
repay any advanced amounts if
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled under Section
43 of the Registrant's bylaws to be indemnified by the Registrant. Unless
otherwise provided for in contracts between the Registrant and its officers,
the Registrant is prohibited from advancing funds to officers if the Registrant
determines that the facts known to the Registrant at the time of determination
clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the officer acted in bad faith or in
a manner that the officer did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article VII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated certificate incorporation
provides that its directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with for the benefit
of its directors and certain of its executive officers. Generally, the
indemnification agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection permitted
by Delaware law as it may be amended from time to time. Moreover, the
indemnification agreements provide for certain additional indemnification.
Under such additional indemnification provisions, however, an individual will
not receive indemnification for: claims for an accounting of profits from the
purchase or sale of securities of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; conduct that the Registrant determines was
knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful
misconduct; conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Registrant or resulting in any personal
profit or advantage to the director or officer to which the director or officer
was not legally entitled; any expenses for which payment is actually made to
the director or officer under an insurance policy or indemnity clause, bylaw or
agreement; any expenses or actions for which indemnification is not lawful; or
expenses in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the
director or officer against the Registrant or its directors, officers,
employees or other agents, unless indemnification is expressly required to be
made by law, the proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's board of
directors, the indemnification is provided by the Registrant pursuant to the
powers vested in the Registrant by Delaware law, or the proceeding is initiated
to enforce the director's or officer's rights under the indemnification
agreement. The indemnification agreements provide for the Registrant to advance
to the individual any and all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) incurred in investigating or defending any such action, suit or
proceeding. In order to receive an advance of expenses, the individual must
submit to the Registrant a statement or statements that reasonably evidences
such expenses. Also, the individual must repay such advances upon a final
judicial decision that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. The
Registrant's obligations under the indemnification agreements continue for as
long as the director or officer is a director, officer, employee or other agent
of the Registrant (or is serving at the Registrant's request as a director or
executive officer of another corporation or entity) and, after termination of
the director's or officer's relationship with the Registrant, for so long as
the director or officer shall be subject to any possible claim or action, suit
or proceeding by reason of the fact that Agent was serving in the capacity
referred to herein.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance.

UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
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 (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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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)(i) and (a)(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 herein.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.

2.
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
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
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.
