of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Section 145(b) of the GCL provides
that in the case of an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification of any director, officer, employee and other agent against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit is permitted if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery, or the court in which such 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, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The
Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws provide for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the
GCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section 145(g) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant or, if such
person is or was serving in such capacity for another enterprise at the request of the Registrant
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation has the
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the GCL. The Registrant&#146;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws authorize the purchase of such insurance, and the
Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation also may, with certain limitations,
set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful
payments of dividends or stock repurchases), or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation
includes such a provision.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this 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 this 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; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, 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&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the

that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;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

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.

Delaware General Corporation Law
The Registrant is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145(a) of General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "GCL"), provides that a Delaware
corporation has the power to 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 the person's conduct was unlawful. Section 145(b) of the GCL provides
that in the case of an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification of any director, officer, employee and other agent against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit is permitted if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery, or the court in which such 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, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws provide for the indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant to the maximum extent permitted by the
GCL.
Under Section 145(g) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant or, if such
person is or was serving in such capacity for another enterprise at the request of the Registrant
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation has the
power to indemnify such person against such liability under the GCL. The Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By Laws authorize the purchase of such insurance, and the
Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance.
Under Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, a Delaware corporation also may, with certain limitations,
set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law (3) under Section 174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful
payments of dividends or stock repurchases), or (4) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
includes such a provision.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
Rule 415 Offering
. 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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of this 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 this 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 this registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, 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 Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this 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)
Subsequent Exchange Act Documents
. 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)
Indemnification
. 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
