the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation 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;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; or (v)&nbsp;for any officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or
completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article VIII of the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders 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 which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or
(iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the
Registrant, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or
alleged liability of any director of the Registrant for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that it will pay the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees and expenses) incurred by a director or
officer, or former director or officer, in defending, investigating, preparing to defend or being or preparing to be a witness in, a threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding or claim against such director or officer, whether civil or criminal,
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or claim if the Registrant receives a request therefore and an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amounts if it ultimately is determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification by us. </P>

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. </P>

Item 4.
Description of Securities.

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to eliminate or limit
the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) for any officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or
completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such
officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
Article VIII of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant 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 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, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the
Registrant, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or
alleged liability of any director of the Registrant for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
In addition, the Registrant's bylaws provide that it will pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by a director or
officer, or former director or officer, in defending, investigating, preparing to defend or being or preparing to be a witness in, a threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding or claim against such director or officer, whether civil or criminal,
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or claim if the Registrant receives a request therefore and an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amounts if it ultimately is determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification by us.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into customary indemnity agreements with each of its directors.

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;
(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 paragraphs (i) and (ii) above 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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 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 Section 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.
(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 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.
