<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended (the &#147;GCL&#148;), which provides that a corporation may indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action 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 the corporation, or is or was serving at its
request in such capacity of another corporation or business organization against 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 if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 that such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in any action by or in the right of a 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 an officer or director is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) that such officer
or director actually and reasonably incurred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the GCL, which permits a corporation to provide
in its certificate of incorporation that a director 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)&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;under Section&nbsp;174 of the GCL (having to
do with unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchase redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In 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 of 1933 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended (the "GCL"), which provides that a corporation may indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action 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 the corporation, or is or was serving at its
request in such capacity of another corporation or business organization against 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 if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 that such person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation
may indemnify officers and directors in any action by or in the right of a 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 an officer or director is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) that such officer
or director actually and reasonably incurred.
Reference is also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, which permits a corporation to provide
in its certificate of incorporation that a director 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 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 GCL (having to
do with unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchase redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

Table of Contents
The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides for the elimination of personal
liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL
and the by-laws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers
to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL.
The Company has directors and officers liability insurance that insures the directors and
officers of the Company against certain liabilities.

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)
Filing of registration statement on Form S-8
. 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 Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
