<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides
for, among other things:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;permissive indemnification for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by designated persons, including
directors and officers of a corporation, in the event such persons are parties to litigation other
than stockholder derivative actions if certain conditions are met;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;permissive indemnification for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by designated persons, including directors, officers, employees or agents of a
corporation, in the event such persons are parties to stockholder derivative actions if certain
conditions are met;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;mandatory indemnification for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by designated persons, including directors and officers of a
corporation, in the event such persons are successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
litigation covered by (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;above; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by Section&nbsp;145 is not
deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided under any by-law, agreement, stockholder
or disinterested director vote, or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the indemnification provisions of the DGCL described above, the Registrant&#146;s
Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;) provides that the Registrant
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, (i)&nbsp;indemnify its officers and directors and
(ii)&nbsp;advance expenses incurred by such officers or directors in relation to any action, suit or
proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) require, in certain instances, the advancement of
expenses to an officer or director (without a determination as to his conduct) in advance of the
final disposition of a proceeding if such person furnishes a written undertaking to repay any
advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws purport to confer upon officers and directors contractual rights to indemnification
and advancement of expenses as provided therein. The right to indemnification and advancement of
expenses as provided therein shall (i)&nbsp;vest at the time that such claimant becomes a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or at the time such claimant becomes a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, at the request of the
Registrant and (ii)&nbsp;continue as to the claimant even though he may have ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of directors to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty as a director, other than
liability as a director (i)&nbsp;for breach of duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (certain illegal distributions) or (iv)&nbsp;for
any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains officers&#146; and directors&#146; insurance covering certain liabilities that
may be incurred by officers and directors in the performance of their duties.

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.</TD>

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides
for, among other things:
(i) permissive indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by designated persons, including
directors and officers of a corporation, in the event such persons are parties to litigation other
than stockholder derivative actions if certain conditions are met;
(ii) permissive indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by designated persons, including directors, officers, employees or agents of a
corporation, in the event such persons are parties to stockholder derivative actions if certain
conditions are met;
(iii) mandatory indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by designated persons, including directors and officers of a
corporation, in the event such persons are successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
litigation covered by (i) and (ii) above; and
(iv) that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by Section 145 is not
deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided under any by-law, agreement, stockholder
or disinterested director vote, or otherwise.
In addition to the indemnification provisions of the DGCL described above, the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that the Registrant
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, (i) indemnify its officers and directors and
(ii) advance expenses incurred by such officers or directors in relation to any action, suit or
proceeding.
The Registrant's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") require, in certain instances, the advancement of
expenses to an officer or director (without a determination as to his conduct) in advance of the
final disposition of a proceeding if such person furnishes a written undertaking to repay any
advances if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
The Bylaws purport to confer upon officers and directors contractual rights to indemnification
and advancement of expenses as provided therein. The right to indemnification and advancement of
expenses as provided therein shall (i) vest at the time that such claimant becomes a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or at the time such claimant becomes a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, at the request of the
Registrant and (ii) continue as to the claimant even though he may have ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant.
The Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of directors to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty as a director, other than
liability as a director (i) for breach of duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (certain illegal distributions) or (iv) for
any transaction for which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant maintains officers' and directors' insurance covering certain liabilities that
may be incurred by officers and directors in the performance of their duties.

EXHIBITS.

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:
(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) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20% 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)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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.
(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)
The 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
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) 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.
(c)
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
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 Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
