<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. Similar provisions
apply to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made without judicial approval if the officer or director is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation
must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred. Section 145 of the DGCL further authorizes a corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified person against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any indemnified capacity, or
arising out of his or her status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under the DGCL. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, Section 102 of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability
of a director of a corporation to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where
the director (i) breaches his duty of loyalty, (ii) fails to act in good faith, engages in
intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (iii) authorizes the payment of a
dividend or approves a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL, or (iv) obtains an
improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article
6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant provides that,
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as presently existing or as amended, no
director of the registrant shall be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the registrant or its
stockholders. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article
III, Section 15 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the registrant provides that each
person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved
in any action, suit, arbitration, mediation or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, whether domestic or foreign, by reason of the fact that
he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director
or officer of the registrant or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as
director, officer, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, against all
expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith. The right to indemnification conferred in the bylaws is a contract right and is
not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or acquire. The registrant may
maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any applicable person against
any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. </FONT></P>

expressed in the Act and is,                therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a

registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter                has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate

public                policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final

except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
Item 4.   
      Description of Securities.
Not
applicable.
Item 5.          Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
Oren
B. Azar, Esq. is an officer of the registrant and holds options to purchase shares of the
registrant's common stock.
Item 6.    Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The
registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. Similar provisions
apply to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made without judicial approval if the officer or director is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation
must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has actually
and reasonably incurred. Section 145 of the DGCL further authorizes a corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified person against any liability
asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any indemnified capacity, or
arising out of his or her status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under the DGCL.
In
addition, Section 102 of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability
of a director of a corporation to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where
the director (i) breaches his duty of loyalty, (ii) fails to act in good faith, engages in
intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (iii) authorizes the payment of a
dividend or approves a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL, or (iv) obtains an
improper personal benefit.
Article
6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant provides that,
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as presently existing or as amended, no
director of the registrant shall be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the registrant or its
stockholders.
Article
III, Section 15 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the registrant provides that each
person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved
in any action, suit, arbitration, mediation or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, whether domestic or foreign, by reason of the fact that
he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director
or officer of the registrant or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as
director, officer, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, against all
expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith. The right to indemnification conferred in the bylaws is a contract right and is
not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or acquire. The registrant may
maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any applicable person against
any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

               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;
(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 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.
