DELAWARE
      GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
Section
      145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")
      provides that 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,
      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 he 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, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
      incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
      in good faith and in a manner he 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 conduct was unlawful.
      The
      termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
      conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not,
      of
      itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and
      in a
      manner which he 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
      unlawful.
II-1
Section
      145(b) of the DGCL states that 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 by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
      judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
      officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
      request or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
      or
      other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
      reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
      such
      action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
      to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except
      that
      no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
      to
      which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
      unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which
      such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
      the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
      such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
      which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section
      145(c) of the DGLC provides that to the extent a present or former officer
      of a
      corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
      action, suit or proceedings referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section
      145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall
      be
      indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
      incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section
      145(d) of the DGCL states that any indemnification under subsections (a) and
      (b)
      of Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation
      only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
      indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent
      is
      proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
      conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made,
      with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such
      determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties
      to
      such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by
      a
      committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors,
      even
      though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are not such directors, or if such
      directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
      (4)
      by the stockholders.
Section
      145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
      by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative
      or
      investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
      advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
      of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
      amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled
      to
      be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses
      (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other
      employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any,
      as
      the corporation deems appropriate.
Section
      145(f) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
      provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of Section 145 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, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both
      as
      to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
      capacity while holding such office.
Section
      145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the power to 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
      any
      liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
      capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
      corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability
      under the provisions of Section 145.
Section
      145(j) of the DGCL states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
      provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall, unless otherwise
      provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased
      to
      be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of
      the
      heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
II-2
CERTIFICATE
      OF INCORPORATION
The
      Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that a director
      of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its
      stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
      except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
      Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
      or
      which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
      Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
      derived an improper personal benefit.
BYLAWS
The
      Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will reimburse any director
      or officer of the Registrant, whether or not then in office (and his heirs
      and
      administrators), to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL for
      all
      liability, including reasonable expenses incurred by or imposed upon him in
      connection with, or resulting from any action, suit, or proceeding to which
      he
      may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer
      of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries, or of any other corporation at
      the
      request of the Registrant. This right of reimbursement is not to be exclusive
      of
      other rights to which the director or officer may be entitled as a matter of
      law.
INDEMNITY
      AGREEMENTS
The
      Registrant has entered into an indemnity agreement with each of its directors.
      The indemnity agreements provide certain protections to such persons against
      legal claims and related expenses. A form of the indemnity agreement is filed
      as
      an Exhibit to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

Undertakings
.
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 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (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 Securities Exchange
      Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
(4)
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 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.
(5)
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.
II-4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
      to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it
