Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate&#148;) contains provisions eliminating the personal
liability of the directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. By virtue of these provisions, under current Delaware
law a director of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for a
breach of his or her fiduciary duty except for liability for (a) a breach of his or her
duty of loyalty to the Company or to its stockholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) dividends
or stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law and (d) any
transaction from which he or she receives an improper personal benefit. In addition, the
Certificate provides that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the further elimination
or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended. These
provisions pertain only to breaches of duty by directors as directors and not in any other
corporate capacity, such as officers, and limit liability only for breaches of fiduciary
duties under Delaware corporate law and not for violations of other laws such as the
federal securities laws. </FONT></P>

          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. </FONT></P></TD>

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
          1933 (the &#147;Act&#148;) 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 of 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></TD>

IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.      Incorporation of Documents
by Reference.

Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein by reference:
The Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K;
All other reports filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the fiscal year covered by
the annual report referred to in above; and
The description of the Company's Common Stock included in the Company's

All documents filed by the Company
with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have

extent otherwise provided by Regulation S-K or any other rule promulgated by the
Commission, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and

Item 4.      Description of
Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.      Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.      Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate") contains provisions eliminating the personal
liability of the directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. By virtue of these provisions, under current Delaware
law a director of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for a
breach of his or her fiduciary duty except for liability for (a) a breach of his or her
duty of loyalty to the Company or to its stockholders, (b) acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) dividends
or stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law and (d) any
transaction from which he or she receives an improper personal benefit. In addition, the
Certificate provides that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the further elimination
or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended. These
provisions pertain only to breaches of duty by directors as directors and not in any other
corporate capacity, such as officers, and limit liability only for breaches of fiduciary
duties under Delaware corporate law and not for violations of other laws such as the
federal securities laws.
The Certificate also requires the
Company to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law against certain expenses and costs,
judgments, settlements and fines incurred in the defense of any claim, including any claim
brought by or in the right of the Company, to which they were made parties by reason of
being or having been directors, officers, employees and agents.
Under Article V of the Company's
bylaws, the Company is required to defend and indemnify each person who is involved in any
threatened or actual claim, action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is
or was a director or officer of the Company or serving in a similar position with respect
to another entity at the request of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The rights conferred by Article V of the Company's
bylaws are contractual rights and include the right to be paid expenses incurred in
defending the action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The Company
has insurance policies in effect covering all of the Company's directors and officers
in certain instances where by law they may not be indemnified by the Company.

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 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.
(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 (the "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 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 of 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.
