Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the &#147;GCL&#148;), 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&#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

<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.

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.
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
-2-
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.

The following is a list of exhibits filed as part of the registration statement:

In lieu of an opinion concerning compliance with the requirements of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
or a determination letter of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
that each of the Plans is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue
Code, as amended, the Registrant hereby undertakes that it has
submitted each of the Plans and any amendments thereto, and will
submit any
subsequent amendments thereto, to the IRS in a timely manner and has
made or will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify
the each of the Plans.

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;
(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,
-3-
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) 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.
