<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits us to indemnify our directors and
officers under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation allows and its Bylaws require that the Company
indemnify its directors and officers who are or were a party to, or are threatened to be made a
party to, any proceeding (including a derivative action if the director or officer is not found
liable to the Company), against all expenses reasonably incurred by a director or officer in
connection with such a proceeding (including expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement), if the director or officer acted in good faith, in a manner he or she believed was not
opposed to the Company&#146;s best interests and, with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reason
to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors
and officers. The agreements provide for mandatory indemnification for and limit the liability of
the Company&#146;s directors and officers in serving the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, under the agreements, the Company&#146;s directors and
officers will not be personally liable for monetary damages for their errors or omissions, except
for liability for the breach of a director&#146;s or officer&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, for intentional misconduct or acts not in good faith, for making any unlawful
distribution, for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper benefit,
or for violating Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Bylaws and indemnification agreements generally require that the Company advance
to its directors and officers expenses incurred by them in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition, provided that the director or officer agrees to reimburse the Company for such
advances if it is ultimately found that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
The Company maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance under which the Company&#146;s
directors and officers are insured against claims for errors, neglect, breach of duty and other
matters.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits us to indemnify our directors and
officers under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation allows and its Bylaws require that the Company
indemnify its directors and officers who are or were a party to, or are threatened to be made a
party to, any proceeding (including a derivative action if the director or officer is not found
liable to the Company), against all expenses reasonably incurred by a director or officer in
connection with such a proceeding (including expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement), if the director or officer acted in good faith, in a manner he or she believed was not
opposed to the Company's best interests and, with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reason
to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors
and officers. The agreements provide for mandatory indemnification for and limit the liability of
the Company's directors and officers in serving the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Specifically, under the agreements, the Company's directors and
officers will not be personally liable for monetary damages for their errors or omissions, except
for liability for the breach of a director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, for intentional misconduct or acts not in good faith, for making any unlawful
distribution, for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper benefit,
or for violating Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar laws.
The Company's Bylaws and indemnification agreements generally require that the Company advance
to its directors and officers expenses incurred by them in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition, provided that the director or officer agrees to reimburse the Company for such
advances if it is ultimately found that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance under which the Company's
directors and officers are insured against claims for errors, neglect, breach of duty and other
matters.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

(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) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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:
(A)
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this
section 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
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; and
(B)
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and
(a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or
Form F-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by

of 1934 that are incorporated by reference

pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the
registration statement.
(C)
Provided further, however
, that paragraphs

registration statement is for an offering of
asset-backed securities on Form S-1 or Form
S-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment is
provided pursuant to Item 1100(c) of
Regulation AB.
(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)
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.
(4)
If the registrant us a foreign private issuer, to file a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any
financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of
any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial
statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Act need not be furnished,
provided
, that the registrant includes
in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial
statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other
information necessary to ensure that all other information in the
prospectus is at least as current as the date of the those financial
statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need
not be filed to include financial statements and information required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such
financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission 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 Form F-3.

(i)
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed
prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), b(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an

effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability
purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a
new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however
, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such
effective date, supersede or modify any statement that
was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective
date; or
(ii)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however
, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of
the underwriting method 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 undersigned registrant 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 undersigned registrant 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 undersigned registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

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.

Table of Contents
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
foregoing 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
