<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify present and former directors, officers, employees or agents for the
corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides, as authorized by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7)
of the DGCL, that a director will not be personally liable to the Company or any of the Company&#146;s
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that such
provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under Section
174 of the DGCL, as it now exists or hereafter may be amended, or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The certificate of incorporation of the
Company also provides that if the DGCL is amended after the date of filing of the certificate of
incorporation to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability
of directors, then the liability of a director, in addition to the limitation on personal liability
provided for already, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of this provision in the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation by the
stockholders will be effective prospectively only, and will not adversely affect any limitation on
the personal liability of a director existing at the time of such repeal or modification. The
Company&#146;s stockholders may not amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with the
limitation of liability provision set forth in the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation, except
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company also provide that it has the power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of it, or who is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, employee or agent of one of its subsidiaries or of any other organization, against any
liability asserted against that person or incurred by that person in any such capacity, whether or

&#147;Securities Act&#148;);
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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 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&nbsp;percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the
effective Registration Statement; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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

13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (&#147;Exchange Act&#148;) that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.

the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.

liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company&#146;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&#146;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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Company 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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
.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL") empowers a Delaware
corporation to indemnify present and former directors, officers, employees or agents for the
corporation.
The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides, as authorized by Section 102(b)(7)
of the DGCL, that a director will not be personally liable to the Company or any of the Company's
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that such
provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section
174 of the DGCL, as it now exists or hereafter may be amended, or (4) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The certificate of incorporation of the
Company also provides that if the DGCL is amended after the date of filing of the certificate of
incorporation to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability
of directors, then the liability of a director, in addition to the limitation on personal liability
provided for already, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of this provision in the Company's certificate of incorporation by the
stockholders will be effective prospectively only, and will not adversely affect any limitation on
the personal liability of a director existing at the time of such repeal or modification. The
Company's stockholders may not amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with the
limitation of liability provision set forth in the Company's certificate of incorporation, except
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock.
The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company also provide that it has the power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of it, or who is or was serving at its request as a director, officer, trustee,
partner, employee or agent of one of its subsidiaries or of any other organization, against any
liability asserted against that person or incurred by that person in any such capacity, whether or
not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
DGCL.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The Company 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 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 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), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.
2. That for purposes 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company'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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Company 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
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
