  corporation may indemnify an officer, director, employee or agent 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; provided, however, that no person
  adjudged to be liable to the corporation may be indemnified unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of
  liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems proper. A director, officer, employee or agent who is successful, on the merits or
  otherwise, in defense of any proceeding subject to the DGCL&#146;s indemnification provisions must be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses incurred therein, including attorneys&#146; fees. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the
  personal liability of the Registrant&#146;s directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as it exists or may be
  amended. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of this provision, the Registrant&#146;s ability or that of the Registrant&#146;s stockholders to successfully
  prosecute an action against a director for breach of his or her duty of care is limited. However, this provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director&#146;s breach of his or
  her duty of care. The Commission has taken the position that this provision will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that any person who is or was a party or is otherwise threatened to be
  made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was
  (whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time any indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), a director or officer, trustee, fiduciary,
  employee or agent of the corporation or is or was at any such time serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
  including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the corporation (a &#147;covered person&#148;) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation (and any successor of the corporation by merger or
  otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may be amended or modified from time to time, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
  and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
  interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided however, that, to the extent a director or officer has been successful on the merits
  or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such director or officer shall be indemnified against expenses actually reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection

  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

  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Section 145 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
  "DGCL"), empowers a corporation, within certain limitations, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
  with any suit or proceeding to which such person is a party by reason of the fact that such person 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, as long as 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. With respect to any criminal proceedings, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
  In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (e.g., a stockholder derivative suit), a
  corporation may indemnify an officer, director, employee or agent 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; provided, however, that no person
  adjudged to be liable to the corporation may be indemnified unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of
  liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems proper. A director, officer, employee or agent who is successful, on the merits or
  otherwise, in defense of any proceeding subject to the DGCL's indemnification provisions must be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses incurred therein, including attorneys' fees.
  As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the
  personal liability of the Registrant's directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as it exists or may be
  amended.
  As a result of this provision, the Registrant's ability or that of the Registrant's stockholders to successfully
  prosecute an action against a director for breach of his or her duty of care is limited. However, this provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of his or
  her duty of care. The Commission has taken the position that this provision will have no effect on claims arising under the federal securities laws.
  In addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that any person who is or was a party or is otherwise threatened to be
  made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was
  (whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time any indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), a director or officer, trustee, fiduciary,
  employee or agent of the corporation or is or was at any such time serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
  including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the corporation (a "covered person") shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation (and any successor of the corporation by merger or
  otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may be amended or modified from time to time, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
  and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
  interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided however, that, to the extent a director or officer has been successful on the merits
  or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such director or officer shall be indemnified against expenses actually reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection
  therewith. In addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may be amended or modified from time to
  time, each covered person shall have the right, without the need for any action by the Registrant's board of directors, to be paid by the corporation (and any successor of the corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses incurred in defense
  of any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances
  from time to time; provided, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person
  while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final
  judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
  The Registrant also provides insurance from commercial carriers against certain liabilities that may be incurred by the Registrant's
  directors and officers.

  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;
  (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 this Registration Statement; and
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or
  any material change to such information in this 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 Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
  Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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 this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 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.
