Item 4.  Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item
5.  Interests of Named Experts and

Not applicable.
Item
6.  Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving
at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid
and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or
she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such
person has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best
1
interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal
proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in
the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to
any matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court
determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that to the
fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, a director of the Registrant will not be personally liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each
of its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an agent of the Registrant.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each
of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding,
arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the
Registrant.
Pursuant to its bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase and
maintain a directors and officers liability policy to insure its officers and directors
against certain liabilities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), 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
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item
7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.  Exhibits
See Index to Exhibits immediately following the signature page.
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 prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii)     To reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
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 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 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
2
(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) of this section do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-8, 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 Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the 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)        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
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 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.
(c)        Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 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.
