  <P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2><FONT size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  </FONT>Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation
  to indemnify any of its directors or officers who was or is a party or is
  threatened to be made a party 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 the corporation) by reason of the
  fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against
  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, 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, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person&#146;s conduct was
  unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the
  corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify any of its directors or
  officers against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
  incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
  action or suit 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, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall
  have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
  the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
  application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
  such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. </FONT></P>
  <P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2><FONT size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  </FONT>The Registrant&#146;s currently effective Certificate of Incorporation and
  Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to
  the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant currently carries
  indemnity insurance pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured
  under certain circumstances against certain liabilities or losses, including
  liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. </FONT></P>
  <P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2><FONT size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
  </FONT>The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with certain
  directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things,
  indemnify the directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including
  attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and settlement payments incurred by such
  persons in any action, including any action by or in the right of the
  Registrant, in connection with the good faith performance of their duties as a
  director or officer. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advance
  payment by the Registrant of defense expenses incurred by the director or
  officer; however, the affected director or officer must undertake to repay such
  amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is
  not entitled to be indemnified. </FONT><B><FONT face=serif size=2></FONT></B></P>

  <P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>(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. </FONT></P>

  reference:
  (a)
  Registrant's annual report on
        Form 10-K filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
        containing audited financial statements for the Company's fiscal year

        including any amendment or report subsequently filed by the Registrant for
        the purpose of updating the description.
  All other
  documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a),
  13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subsequent to the filing of this
  Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
  this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have
  been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
  deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
  a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  The class of securities to be offered is
  registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and
  Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
  and Officers.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation
  to indemnify any of its directors or officers who was or is a party or is
  threatened to be made a party 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 the corporation) by reason of the
  fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against
  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, 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, with respect to any criminal action or
  proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was
  unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the
  corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify any of its directors or
  officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
  incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
  action or suit 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, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall
  have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
  the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
  application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
  such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
  The Registrant's currently effective Certificate of Incorporation and
  Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to
  the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant currently carries
  indemnity insurance pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured
  under certain circumstances against certain liabilities or losses, including
  liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
  The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with certain
  directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things,
  indemnify the directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including
  attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and settlement payments incurred by such
  persons in any action, including any action by or in the right of the
  Registrant, in connection with the good faith performance of their duties as a
  director or officer. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advance
  payment by the Registrant of defense expenses incurred by the director or
  officer; however, the affected director or officer must undertake to repay such
  amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is
  not entitled to be indemnified.

  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 the Registration

        individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in 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;
  (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) of this
        section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
        post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
        with or furnished to the Commission 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 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.

  Pursuant to
  the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
  has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
  filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed
