<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Item&nbsp;6.&nbsp;Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides, as
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, that a director shall have
no liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section
174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section&nbsp;145 (&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;) of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the &#147;General Corporation Law&#148;), inter alia, provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be
made, parties 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or threatened to
be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, provided that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer,
director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where
an officer, director, employee or agent is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent not prohibited
under the General Corporation Law. Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a
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. All of the Corporation&#146;s officers and
directors are covered by insurance policies maintained by the Corporation
against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such,
including liabilities under the 1933 Act.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 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.

Not applicable
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides, as
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, that a director shall have
no liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section
174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 145 ("Section 145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "General Corporation Law"), inter alia, provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be
made, parties 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or threatened to
be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests, provided that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer,
director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where
an officer, director, employee or agent is successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred.
The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent not prohibited
under the General Corporation Law. Section 145 further authorizes a
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. All of the Corporation's officers and
directors are covered by insurance policies maintained by the Corporation
against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such,
including liabilities under the 1933 Act.

Item 9. Undertakings
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) 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;
(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 the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the 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
represents no more than 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 (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not
apply if 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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each
II-3
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.
(c) 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.
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 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.
