</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) sets forth the circumstances
in which a Delaware corporation is permitted and/or required to indemnify its directors and
officers. The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in certain
proceedings if the director or officer has complied with the standard of conduct set out in the
DGCL. The standard of conduct requires that the director or officer must have acted in good faith,
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to matters in a criminal proceeding, the director or officer must
have had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by or in
the right of the corporation, the DGCL permits indemnification of directors and officers if the
person meets the standard of conduct, except that it precludes indemnification of directors and
officers who are adjudged liable to the corporation, unless the Court of Chancery or the court in
which the corporation&#146;s action or suit was brought determines that the director or officer is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses. To the extent that a present or former
director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in his or her
defense of a proceeding, the corporation is required to indemnify the director or officer against
reasonable expenses incurred in defending himself or herself. The rights provided in Section&nbsp;145 of
the DGCL are not exclusive, and the corporation may also provide for indemnification under bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended (the &#147;Charter&#148;) provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or serving

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) provide that each person who was

suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may relieve its directors from
personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
their fiduciary duty as directors except for (i)&nbsp;a breach of the duty of loyalty; (ii)&nbsp;acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii)&nbsp;willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain
requirements with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends; or (iv)&nbsp;for any
transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the
DGCL, the Charter 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 in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv) above.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant currently maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and
executive officers insuring them against certain liabilities asserted against them in their
capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status. Such insurance would be
available to the Company&#146;s directors and officers in accordance with its terms.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") sets forth the circumstances
in which a Delaware corporation is permitted and/or required to indemnify its directors and
officers. The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in certain
proceedings if the director or officer has complied with the standard of conduct set out in the
DGCL. The standard of conduct requires that the director or officer must have acted in good faith,
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to matters in a criminal proceeding, the director or officer must
have had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by or in
the right of the corporation, the DGCL permits indemnification of directors and officers if the
person meets the standard of conduct, except that it precludes indemnification of directors and
officers who are adjudged liable to the corporation, unless the Court of Chancery or the court in
which the corporation's action or suit was brought determines that the director or officer is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses. To the extent that a present or former
director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in his or her
defense of a proceeding, the corporation is required to indemnify the director or officer against
reasonable expenses incurred in defending himself or herself. The rights provided in Section 145 of
the DGCL are not exclusive, and the corporation may also provide for indemnification under bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended (the "Charter") provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or serving
2

such capacity in another corporation at the request of the Registrant, in each case to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "Bylaws") provide that each person who was
or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may relieve its directors from
personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
their fiduciary duty as directors except for (i) a breach of the duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii) willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain
requirements with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends; or (iv) for any
transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the
DGCL, the Charter 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 in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv) above.
In addition, the Registrant currently maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and
executive officers insuring them against certain liabilities asserted against them in their
capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status. Such insurance would be
available to the Company's directors and officers in accordance with its terms.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
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 and of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act 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;
(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 (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.
(2) 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
5
Table of Contents
Section 13(a) or 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.
(3) 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.
