Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Company is a Delaware
corporation.  Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended,
inter alia, provides that a Delaware 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, 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 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.  The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person
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 the person's conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware 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. The indemnity may include 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 corporation's best interests, except that no indemnification
is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or
agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where a present or former
director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify the
person against the expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.
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, 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 Section 145.
Article 8 of the Company's
certificate of incorporation provides that each person who was or is made a
party to (or is threatened to be made a party to) or is otherwise involved in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was one of the Company's directors or officers shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized
by the General Corporation Law of Delaware against all expenses, liability and
loss (including without limitation attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.  The rights conferred by
Article 8 are contractual rights and include the right to be paid by the
Company the expenses incurred in defending such action, suit or proceeding in
advance of the final disposition thereof.
Article 7 of the Company's
certificate of incorporation provides that the Company's directors will not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except (a) for any
breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law
of Delaware, which makes directors liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful
stock repurchases or redemptions or (d) for transactions from which a director
derives improper personal benefit.
The Company's directors
and officers are covered by insurance policies indemnifying them against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities
laws (other than liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act), which
might be incurred by them in such capacities. 
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and
certain of its executive officers for the indemnification and advancement of
expenses to these persons.  The Company
believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and
retain qualified directors and executive officers.  The Company also intends to enter into these
agreements with its future directors and certain of its executive officers.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
2
provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the
opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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;
(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
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 this
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)           That,
for the 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 herein,
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 or 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 Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment
3
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.
