      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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

Item 6.
      Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware
      law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in its certificate of
      incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director,
      but
      not an officer in his or her capacity as such, to the corporation or its
      stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
      except that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
      director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
      or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
      intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability under
      Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") for unlawful
      payment of dividends or stock purchases or redemptions or (4) any transaction
      from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The
      Company's certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent of
      Delaware law, none of its directors will be liable to the Company or its
      stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
      director.
Under
      Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party
      or is
      threatened to be made a party to any type of proceeding, other than an action
      by
      or in the right of the corporation, because he or she 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 or other entity, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
      judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
      in connection with such proceeding if: (1) he or she acted in good faith and
      in
      a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
      interests of the corporation and (2) with respect to any criminal proceeding,
      he
      or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
      unlawful.  A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
      party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
      completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation because
      he or she 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 or other entity, against expenses,
      including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
      such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
      she
      reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
      corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if the person is found
      liable to the corporation unless, in such a case, the court determines the
      person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for such
      expenses.  A corporation must also indemnify a present or former
      director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
      defense of any proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
      against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by
      him or her.  Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a
      director or officer, or any employees or agents as deemed appropriate by the
      board of directors, in defending civil or criminal proceedings may be paid
      by
      the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon
      receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer, employee
      or
      agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or
      she
      is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.  The Delaware
      law regarding indemnification and the advancement of expenses is not exclusive
      of any other rights a person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement,
      vote
      of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Under
      the
      DGCL, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
      conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall
      not, of itself, create a presumption that a person did not act in good faith
      and
      in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
      the
      best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
      had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
      unlawful.
The
      Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws authorize indemnification of
      any person entitled to indemnity under law to the full extent permitted by
      law.
Delaware
      law also provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
      behalf of any person who 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 or other entity,
      against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person, whether
      or
      not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
      liability.  The Company will maintain, at its expense, an insurance
      policy that insures its officers and directors, subject to customary exclusions
      and deductions, against specified liabilities that may be incurred in those
      capacities.  In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification
      agreements with each of its directors that provide that it will indemnify the
      indemnitee against, and advance certain expenses relating to, liabilities
      incurred in the performance of such indemnitee's duties on the Company's behalf
      to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Company's
      bylaws.

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
                in
c
lude 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. 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% 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 this Registration Statement or any material
                change to such information in this Registration
                Statement;
provided,
      however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
      above 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 purposes 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 filling of the Registrant's annual
      report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
      where applicable, each filling 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 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
      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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.
