</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to provide in
its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of the
director&#146;s &#147;duty of care.&#148; While this statute does not change the directors&#146; duty of care, it
enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission. The statute has no effect on a director&#146;s duty of loyalty or liability for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or repurchases, or for any transaction from which
the director derives an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the statute, the Company has
adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which eliminate to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law the personal liability of its directors to the Company and its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a corporation. The Bylaws of the
Company provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full
extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. The Company&#146;s Bylaws also empower it to enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of
any person whom it is required or permitted to indemnify. The Company has entered into agreements
with its directors and certain of its executive officers and key employees that require the Company
to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including
expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened,
to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or an executive officer of the Company or any of its affiliated enterprises. The
indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a
claim for indemnification thereunder.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under certain
circumstances, for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act.

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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to provide in
its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of the
director's "duty of care." While this statute does not change the directors' duty of care, it
enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission. The statute has no effect on a director's duty of loyalty or liability for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law,
illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or repurchases, or for any transaction from which
the director derives an improper personal benefit. As permitted by the statute, the Company has
adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which eliminate to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law the personal liability of its directors to the Company and its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a corporation. The Bylaws of the
Company provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full
extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. The Company's Bylaws also empower it to enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and to purchase insurance on behalf of
any person whom it is required or permitted to indemnify. The Company has entered into agreements
with its directors and certain of its executive officers and key employees that require the Company
to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including
expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened,
to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or an executive officer of the Company or any of its affiliated enterprises. The
indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a
claim for indemnification thereunder.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for
indemnification in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such individuals, under certain
circumstances, for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act.

Undertakings
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:
Table of Contents
(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;
(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
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed 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.
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
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.
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 Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
