The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (&#147;DGCL&#148;) also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the statute. In addition, the DGCL provides the general authorization of advancement of a director&#146;s or officer&#146;s litigation expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the Board of
  Directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise.</font></p>

  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  .
  Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his or her service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or his or her service, at the corporation's request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by him or her ("Expenses"), and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by him or her, in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that he or she 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 proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the
  1
  right of the corporation, provided that he or she 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, if such person has been judged liable to the corporation, indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or the court in which the action was brought) determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the statute. In addition, the DGCL provides the general authorization of advancement of a director's or officer's litigation expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the Board of
  Directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise.
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the broad indemnification of our directors and officers and for advancement of litigation expenses to the fullest extent permitted by current Delaware law.
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of a director to the Company or its stockholders, under certain circumstances, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
  The Company maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy insuring the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries in certain instances.

  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;
  provided
  ,
  however
  ,   that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration   statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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, 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   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 of 1933   may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of a   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 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.
