<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a corporation,
under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against
expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third
parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Company, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful.
In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be
made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents
in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a
matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall
be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that
the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Seven of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
no director of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except (a)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section
174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (d)&nbsp;for any transaction from 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 has procured Directors and Officers liability insurance for wrongful acts. This
is an indemnity policy for the Registrant to protect it against liability assumed or incurred under
the above indemnification provisions and under the written agreements referred to below, including
defense provisions, on behalf of the directors and officers. The directors and officers are thus
indemnified against loss arising from any civil claims or claims by reason of any wrongful act done
or alleged to have been done while acting in their respective capacities as directors or officers.
The policy excludes claims brought about or contributed to by dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or
malicious acts or omissions by directors or officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has also procured excess liability insurance coverage to protect the Directors
and Officers against liability for wrongful acts. This is a difference-in-coverage policy which
will pay on behalf of the Directors and Officers when the Registrant does not indemnify them.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a supplement to and in furtherance of the provisions regarding indemnification of
Directors and Officers contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company,
the Company has entered into written agreements with each of its Directors and Officers to
indemnify and advance expenses to said individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in

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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

-2-
Table of Contents
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a corporation,
under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third
parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Company, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful.
In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be
made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents
in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a
matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall
be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that
the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
Article Seven of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
no director of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except (a) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section
174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (d) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant has procured Directors and Officers liability insurance for wrongful acts. This
is an indemnity policy for the Registrant to protect it against liability assumed or incurred under
the above indemnification provisions and under the written agreements referred to below, including
defense provisions, on behalf of the directors and officers. The directors and officers are thus
indemnified against loss arising from any civil claims or claims by reason of any wrongful act done
or alleged to have been done while acting in their respective capacities as directors or officers.
The policy excludes claims brought about or contributed to by dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or
malicious acts or omissions by directors or officers.
The Registrant has also procured excess liability insurance coverage to protect the Directors
and Officers against liability for wrongful acts. This is a difference-in-coverage policy which
will pay on behalf of the Directors and Officers when the Registrant does not indemnify them.
As a supplement to and in furtherance of the provisions regarding indemnification of
Directors and Officers contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company,
the Company has entered into written agreements with each of its Directors and Officers to
indemnify and advance expenses to said individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

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 this 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 this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the 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 and 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
-4-
Table of Contents
and price represent no more than a 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 this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply to this
registration on Form S-8, if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 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 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.
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 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.
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 Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
