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 final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Under
Delaware General Corporate Law ("DGCL"), under certain circumstances, 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, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative 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 its request in such capacity in
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses
1
(including attorneys' 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 best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
unlawful.  DGCL also provides that a
corporation may 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 such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, arising
out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under
the provisions of DGCL.
The
Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company
shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (b) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct of
a knowing violation of a law; (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
The
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws provide that the Company
shall indemnify the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as now enacted or
hereafter amended.
Further,
the Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance that insures
directors and officers against certain liabilities in connection with the
performance of their duties as directors and officers, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and provides for payment to the
Company of costs incurred by it in indemnifying its directors and officers.

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 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, represents 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 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 the Registration Statement.
(2)           That, for the purposes 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
(c)           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 final
adjudication of such issue.
