Registrant provide for the indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;). The indemnification
provided under the Bylaws includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) for any proceeding for which
indemnification may be had in advance of its final disposition, provided that
the payment of those expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by a
director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be
made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is
ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.
The indemnification provisions under the Bylaws are not exclusive of any other
rights to which the Registrant&#146;s directors or officers may be entitled under
any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. In addition, indemnification provisions shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Bylaws of the
Registrant provide for the indemnification of the Registrant's directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). The indemnification
provided under the Bylaws includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the
expenses (including attorneys' fees) for any proceeding for which
indemnification may be had in advance of its final disposition, provided that
the payment of those expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a
director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding may be
made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it is
ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified.
The indemnification provisions under the Bylaws are not exclusive of any other
rights to which the Registrant's directors or officers may be entitled under
any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. In addition, indemnification provisions shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
As permitted by the DGCL,
the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors of the
Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. As a
result of this provision, the Registrant and its stockholders may be unable to
obtain monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
The Registrant has
entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors pursuant to
which the Registrant agrees to indemnify the director against expenses,
judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement incurred by the director and
arising out of his capacity as a director, officer,
2
employee and/or agent of
the Registrant or other enterprise of which he is a director, officer, employee
or agent acting at the Registrant's request to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the director or
officer shall be entitled to an advance of expenses, to the maximum extent
authorized or permitted by law, to meet the obligations indemnified against,
subject to certain limitations.
Under Delaware law, the
Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit and on behalf of
its directors and officers insuring against all liabilities that may be

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;
(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.  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; and
(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;
3
Provided,
howeve
r, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-8 (as in this case), 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 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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 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.
(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 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.
