<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The DGCL provides that Section&nbsp;145 is
not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
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;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 for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions, or 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 Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, the Company&#146;s bylaws provide that each
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in 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 shall
be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The right to
indemnification conferred in the Company&#146;s bylaws also includes the right to be reimbursed for all
expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the
fullest extent authorized by Delaware law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws further provide that it shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under Delaware law. The Company has also obtained directors&#146; and officers&#146;
liability insurance, which insures against liabilities that its directors or officers may incur in
such capacities.

pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC 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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is
not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
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 for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, the Company's bylaws provide that each
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in 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 shall
be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The right to
indemnification conferred in the Company's bylaws also includes the right to be reimbursed for all
expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the
fullest extent authorized by Delaware law.
The Company's bylaws further provide that it shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under Delaware law. The Company has also obtained directors' and officers'
liability insurance, which insures against liabilities that its directors or officers may incur in
such capacities.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
For a list of all exhibits filed or included as part of this Registration Statement, see
"Index to Exhibits" at the end of this Registration Statement.
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, as amended (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 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 end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price
2
represent no more than a 20% 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) above 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 SEC 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are
offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
1. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
2. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf
of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
3. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
4. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(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 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 SEC 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.
