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 the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he or she 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 expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
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 cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.</font></p>

the DGCL 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of
the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards, except that no
indemnification may 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 in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the
court shall deem proper.</font></p>

proceeding referred to in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;or in the defense
of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
therewith; (ii)&nbsp;indemnification provided for by Section&nbsp;145 shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled; and (iii)&nbsp;the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section145.</font></p>

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

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>

fact that he or she 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 expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
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 cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of
the DGCL 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of
the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards, except that no
indemnification may 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 in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the
court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL
further provides that (i) to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense
of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
therewith; (ii) indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be
entitled; and (iii) the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section145.
The foregoing summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective provisions of the
DGCL.

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
prospectuses required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in
the prospectus any facts or events 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
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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
twenty 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 (a) (1) (i) and
(a) (1) (ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3,
Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for 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.
5
(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 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 Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the 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.
(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.
