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 the 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.</TD>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
II-1
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Registrant's certificate of incorporation includes a provision that permits the
elimination of personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as it
now exists or as it may be amended. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits limitations of
liability for a director's breach of fiduciary duty other than liability:
§
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
§
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law;
§
for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, as
provided under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
§
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit
The Registrant's bylaws authorize the indemnification of its officers, directors, employees
and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant
maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance. In addition, the Registrant has entered
into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
An Exhibit Index, containing a list of all exhibits filed with this Registration Statement, is
included on page II-6.
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 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.
(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.
II-2
(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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
is incorporated by reference in this 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 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 the 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.
