<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, Article&nbsp;NINTH of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that no director shall be personally liable for any breach of fiduciary duty. Article
NINTH does not eliminate a director&#146;s liability (i)&nbsp;for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to
the Company 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;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for unlawful declarations of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit, in respect of which such breach of fiduciary duty occurred.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its
directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and
officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect
to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the defendant officers or directors are fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (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;under Section&nbsp;174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director
for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most

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) of this

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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (other than any portion of such filings that are furnished under
applicable Commission rules rather than filed, such as Current Reports on Form 8-K furnishing
information pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01, including any exhibits included with such
information), or by the Plan pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article TENTH of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, its officers and directors against all expenses, liability and loss
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
also extends indemnification to those serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers,
employees or agents of other enterprises.
In addition, Article NINTH of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that no director shall be personally liable for any breach of fiduciary duty. Article
NINTH does not eliminate a director's liability (i) for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law for unlawful declarations of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit, in respect of which such breach of fiduciary duty occurred.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its
directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding brought by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their
conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and
officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect
to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the defendant officers or directors are fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (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) under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director
for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Company hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the Plan and any amendments
thereto to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes
required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to qualify such Plan under Section 401 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

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;
(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) of this
chapter 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:
(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section
do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8
(§239.16b of this chapter), 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
