<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) makes provision for the indemnification of officers and
directors of corporations in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify the officers and directors of the Registrant under certain circumstances from liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL 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;in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (&#147;certificate of incorporation&#148;)
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to time, no director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. The
effect of this provision in the certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its stockholders (through stockholders&#146; derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability of
directors under federal securities laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall 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 he is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, provided that the Registrant shall indemnify such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Registrant or brought to enforce certain indemnification rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The certificate of incorporation also provides that expenses
incurred by a director of the Registrant (acting in his capacity as such) in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant, provided such expenses shall be advanced only
upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The certificate of incorporation also provides that indemnification provided for in the bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled and that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such person against any such expenses, liability and loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL or the bylaws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has procured insurance
protecting it under its obligation to indemnify officers and directors against certain types of liabilities (including certain liabilities under the Securities Act) that may be incurred by them in the performance of their duties and affording
protection to such officers and directors in certain areas to which the corporate indemnity does not extend, all within specified limits and subject to specified deductions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Registrant and certain other persons may be entitled under agreements entered into with agents or underwriters to
indemnification by such agents or underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the Registrant or such persons may be required to make in respect thereof.

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. </P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") makes provision for the indemnification of officers and
directors of corporations in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify the officers and directors of the Registrant under certain circumstances from liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL 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) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation ("certificate of incorporation")
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to time, no director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. The
effect of this provision in the certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability of
directors under federal securities laws.
The certificate of incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall 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 he is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, provided that the Registrant shall indemnify such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person only if authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Registrant or brought to enforce certain indemnification rights.
The certificate of incorporation also provides that expenses
incurred by a director of the Registrant (acting in his capacity as such) in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant, provided such expenses shall be advanced only
upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
The certificate of incorporation also provides that indemnification provided for in the bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled and that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such person against any such expenses, liability and loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL or the bylaws.
The Registrant has procured insurance
protecting it under its obligation to indemnify officers and directors against certain types of liabilities (including certain liabilities under the Securities Act) that may be incurred by them in the performance of their duties and affording
protection to such officers and directors in certain areas to which the corporate indemnity does not extend, all within specified limits and subject to specified deductions.
In addition, the Registrant and certain other persons may be entitled under agreements entered into with agents or underwriters to
indemnification by such agents or underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the Registrant or such persons may be required to make in respect thereof.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The 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; 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) 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 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 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.
