        attached to this Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.1.
Item
        6.
        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
        of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), empowers a Delaware
        corporation to 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 corporation) by reason of the fact that such person
        is
        or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation 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 interest of the
        corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
        no
        reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is
        authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
        actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
        of
        any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted
        in
        good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
        to the
        best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court
        of
        competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been
        adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made
        only as
        authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders
        or
        disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion
        that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable
        standard of conduct.
3
The
        Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of
        its officers, directors, employees and other agents in a manner substantially
        identical to that permitted under the DGCL.
Section 145
        further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
        of
        any 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 of a
        director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
        against any liability asserted against him, and incurred by him in any such
        capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
        would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under
        Section 145.
The
        Company carries insurance policies that cover its individual directors and
        officers for legal liability and which would pay on their behalf for expenses
        of
        indemnifying them in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
        Bylaws and the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7)
        of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation
        that directors of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
        corporation or its stockholders 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 corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for
        acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
        or a
        knowing violation of law, (iii) for payments of unlawful dividends or
        unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from
        which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The
        Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
In
        addition, our directors and officers have entered into indemnification agreement
        which clarify and reaffirm the indemnification rights of the directors and
        officers.

        Undertakings.
(a)
Rule
        415
        offering.
The Company 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) do not apply if the Registration Statement
        is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
        amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
        to
        the Commission by the Company 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 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.
(6)           That,
        for the purpose of determining liability of the Company under the Securities
        Act
        to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The
        Company undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Company
        pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting methods
        used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
        or
        sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
        Company will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer
        or
        sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)           Any
        preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Company relating to the offering
        required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)          Any
        free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf
        of the
        Company or used or referred to by the Company;
(iii)         The
        portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
        material information about the Company or its securities provided by or on
        behalf of the Company; and
5
(iv)          Any
        other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Company
        to the
        purchaser.
(b)
Filings
        incorporating subsequent
        Exchange Act documents by reference
. The Company hereby undertakes that,
        for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
        filing
        of the Company'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.
(e)
Incorporated
        annual and quarterly
        reports
. The Company hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
        delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
        or
        given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated
        by
        reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
        requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Exchange Act; and, where
        interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of
        Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to
        be
        delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
        quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
        prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
Filing
        of registration on Form
        S-8
. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
        Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
        of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
        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 Company for expenses incurred
        or paid
        by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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
        Company 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.
