insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in our best interests, and, with respect to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s actions were unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporation&#146;s bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides for the indemnification of the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant require the Registrant to fully indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant, or is or was a director or officer of the Registrant serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorney&#146;s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or
(4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that the Registrant&#146;s directors shall not be personally liable to it or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of the Registrant&#146;s directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. </P>

a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into
separate indemnification agreements with each of the Registrant&#146;s directors and certain of the Registrant&#146;s officers which require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason
of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant expects to obtain and maintain insurance policies under

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase
insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in our best interests, and, with respect to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's actions were unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporation's bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides for the indemnification of the
Registrant's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant require the Registrant to fully indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant, or is or was a director or officer of the Registrant serving at the Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or
(4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that the Registrant's directors shall not be personally liable to it or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of the Registrant's directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
II-2
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that
a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into
separate indemnification agreements with each of the Registrant's directors and certain of the Registrant's officers which require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason
of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees.
The Registrant expects to obtain and maintain insurance policies under
which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions,
suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
These indemnification provisions and the indemnification
agreements entered into between the Registrant and the Registrant's officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
II-3
(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 this 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 a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and
(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) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form
S-8,
and 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
