</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides in relevant part
that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer of another entity, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such 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 such person&#146;s
conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Section&nbsp;145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
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 as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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 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 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 Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company&#146;s bylaws generally provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors that
provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless a director if the director is made a
party to or is otherwise involved in certain legal proceedings as a result of actions related to
the director&#146;s service as a director of the Company or as a director of another enterprise at the
Company&#146;s request. Such indemnification includes all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement, provided that the director acted in good
faith and in a manner the director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company.
The indemnification agreements require the Company to advance the expenses incurred by a director
in defending against any such proceeding. However, the director must deliver an undertaking to the
Company to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director is not
entitled to be indemnified. The rights of the directors under the indemnification agreements are
not exclusive and are in addition to their rights under the Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and under applicable law.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company has also obtained officers&#146; and directors&#146; liability insurance which insures
against liabilities that officers and directors of the registrant may, in such capacities, incur.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
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 would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under that section.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company understands that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore may be unenforceable.

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

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides in relevant part
that a corporation may indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer of another entity, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such 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 such person's
conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
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 as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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 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 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 Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The Company's bylaws generally provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors that
provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless a director if the director is made a
party to or is otherwise involved in certain legal proceedings as a result of actions related to
the director's service as a director of the Company or as a director of another enterprise at the
Company's request. Such indemnification includes all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement, provided that the director acted in good
faith and in a manner the director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company.
The indemnification agreements require the Company to advance the expenses incurred by a director
in defending against any such proceeding. However, the director must deliver an undertaking to the
Company to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director is not
entitled to be indemnified. The rights of the directors under the indemnification agreements are
not exclusive and are in addition to their rights under the Company's certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and under applicable law.
The Company has also obtained officers' and directors' liability insurance which insures
against liabilities that officers and directors of the registrant may, in such capacities, incur.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have power 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
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 would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under that section.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company understands that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore may be unenforceable.

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 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 SEC pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than 20% 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.
3
(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 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.
