	Subject to restrictions contained in the DGCL, 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 by reason of the
	fact that he 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 expenses (including
	attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
	and reasonably incurred in connection therewith if such person acted in good
	faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
	opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in connection with
	any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that
	such person's conduct was unlawful. A present or former director or officer
	who is successful on the merits or otherwise in any suit or matter covered
	by the indemnification statute shall be indemnified, and indemnification is
	otherwise authorized upon a determination that the person to be indemnified
	has met the applicable standard of conduct required. Such a determination
	shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the board of directors who were not
	parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,
	or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such
	directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such
	directors, or if such directors so direct, by special independent counsel in
	a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. Expenses incurred in defense
	may be paid in advance upon receipt by the corporation of a written
	undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it is
	ultimately determined that the recipient is not entitled to indemnification
	under the statute. The indemnification provided by statute is not exclusive
	of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled
	under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
	or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
	administrators of such person. Insurance may be purchased on behalf of any
	person entitled to indemnification by the corporation against any liability
	asserted against him or her and incurred in an official capacity regardless
	of whether the person could be indemnified under the statute. References to
	the corporation include all constituent corporations absorbed in a
	consolidation or merger as well as the resulting corporation, and anyone
	seeking indemnification by virtue of acting in some capacity with a
	constituent corporation would stand in the same position as if such person
	had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.</font>&nbsp;</div>

	Registrant) to the full extent authorized by law. Certain of the directors

		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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be
		governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
The class of securities to
	be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, and,
	therefore, this item is not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following is a summary of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
	the State of Delaware (the "DGCL").
Subject to restrictions contained in the DGCL, 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 by reason of the
	fact that he 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 expenses (including
	attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
	and reasonably incurred in connection therewith if such person acted in good
	faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
	opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in connection with
	any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that
	such person's conduct was unlawful. A present or former director or officer
	who is successful on the merits or otherwise in any suit or matter covered
	by the indemnification statute shall be indemnified, and indemnification is
	otherwise authorized upon a determination that the person to be indemnified
	has met the applicable standard of conduct required. Such a determination
	shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the board of directors who were not
	parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,
	or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such
	directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such
	directors, or if such directors so direct, by special independent counsel in
	a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. Expenses incurred in defense
	may be paid in advance upon receipt by the corporation of a written
	undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it is
	ultimately determined that the recipient is not entitled to indemnification
	under the statute. The indemnification provided by statute is not exclusive
	of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled
	under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
	or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
	administrators of such person. Insurance may be purchased on behalf of any
	person entitled to indemnification by the corporation against any liability
	asserted against him or her and incurred in an official capacity regardless
	of whether the person could be indemnified under the statute. References to
	the corporation include all constituent corporations absorbed in a
	consolidation or merger as well as the resulting corporation, and anyone
	seeking indemnification by virtue of acting in some capacity with a
	constituent corporation would stand in the same position as if such person
	had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides
	generally that a director shall not be personally liable to the corporation
	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 corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
	not in good faith which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
	violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any
	transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 6.4 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provides for
	indemnification by the Registrant of each person who is or was a director,
	officer or employee of the Registrant (or is or was serving as a director,
	officer or employee of any other enterprise at the request of the
	Registrant) to the full extent authorized by law. Certain of the directors
	also have indemnification agreements with the Registrant which provide for
	indemnification to the full extent permitted by the DGCL or by any amendment
	thereof or any other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting
	indemnification.
In addition, the DGCL authorizes the Registrant to purchase insurance for
	its directors and officers insuring them against certain risks as to which
	the Registrant may be unable lawfully to indemnify them. The Registrant has
	purchased insurance coverage for its directors and officers as well as
	insurance coverage to reimburse itself for potential costs of corporate
	indemnification of its directors and officers.
Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.  Exhibits.
See the exhibits listed
	under "Exhibit Index" herein, which is incorporated by reference.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)           To file, during any period in which offers and 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 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
					and the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
					the form of prospectus filed with the SEC 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;
(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 with or
		furnished to the SEC 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 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 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.
(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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be
		governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
