</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section&nbsp;145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a Delaware 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 in connection with
specified actions, suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than action by or in the right of the corporation, or a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if they 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. A similar standard is applicable in the
case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The DGCL further authorizes a Delaware corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him
in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification of its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The bylaws of the Registrant also
permit the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person against any
liability that may be asserted against, or expenses that may be incurred by, any such person in
connection with the Registrant&#146;s activities, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the
power to indemnify such persons against such liability under the provisions of its bylaws. The
Registrant has purchased liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors. The
Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and
directors pursuant to which the
Registrant is contractually obligated to fully indemnify each such person against all liabilities
and expenses imposed upon, incurred by or paid by such person in connection with any claim, action
or proceeding to which such person becomes subject by reason of his or her status as an officer or
director of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation generally provides that its directors will
not be liable to the Registrant or to its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a
fiduciary duty. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide for indemnification against all losses actually
incurred by directors and officers in connection with any action, suit or proceeding relating to
their position as a director or officer. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws also provide for indemnification
or reimbursement of expenses to any of its employees.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(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;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%"><I>provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) 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 Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(2)&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(B)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(C)&nbsp;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 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 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 of 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 4. Description of Securities.
Incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with
the Commission on September 16, 2005, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a Delaware 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 in connection with
specified actions, suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than action by or in the right of the corporation, or a "derivative action"), if they 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. A similar standard is applicable in the
case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
The DGCL further authorizes a Delaware corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him
in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
The bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification of its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The bylaws of the Registrant also
permit the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person against any
liability that may be asserted against, or expenses that may be incurred by, any such person in
connection with the Registrant's activities, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the
power to indemnify such persons against such liability under the provisions of its bylaws. The
Registrant has purchased liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors. The
Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and
directors pursuant to which the
Registrant is contractually obligated to fully indemnify each such person against all liabilities
and expenses imposed upon, incurred by or paid by such person in connection with any claim, action
or proceeding to which such person becomes subject by reason of his or her status as an officer or
director of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation generally provides that its directors will
not be liable to the Registrant or to its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a
fiduciary duty. The Registrant's bylaws provide for indemnification against all losses actually
incurred by directors and officers in connection with any action, suit or proceeding relating to
their position as a director or officer. The Registrant's bylaws also provide for indemnification
or reimbursement of expenses to any of its employees.

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;
(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;
(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) 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 Commission 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.
(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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this 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 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 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 of 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.
