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.&#160; 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.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
permits a corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements
between the corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding
the scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by current law.
Article XI of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest
extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation law.
Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the
indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of
the Registrant to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
2
The Registrant has entered into indemnification
agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the
indemnification provided for in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws,
and the Registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any
new directors and executive officers in the future.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.

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 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.
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 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
(h)           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.
