<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Under Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (8 Delaware Code
<b>&sect;</b>145), the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its
directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in
such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.&nbsp; The said Section 145 reads as follows:</font></p>

<p><b><font size="2" face=

directors, employees and agents; insurance<br />
<br />
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;A corporation shall have power to
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 the 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, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted
in good faith and in a manner the 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 the person's 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 the 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 reasonable cause to believe that the person's
conduct was unlawful.<br />
<br />
 (b)&nbsp;A corporation shall have power to 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 the 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 against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner the person 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.<br />
<br />
 (c)&nbsp;To the extent that a present or former director or
officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, 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.<br />
<br />
 (d)&nbsp;Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this
section (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 the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. 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 no
such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.<br />
<br />
 (e)&nbsp;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 this section. 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.<br />
<br />
 (f)&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section
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.<br />
<br />
 (g)&nbsp;A corporation shall have 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 this section.<br />
<br />
 (h)&nbsp;For purposes of this section, references to "the
corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent
of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if
its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or
agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under this section with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with
respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence
had continued.<br />
<br />
 (i)&nbsp;For purposes of this section, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to
"fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at
the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith
and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee
benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this
section.<br />
<br />
 (j)&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, this section 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.<br />
<br />
 (k)&nbsp;The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive
jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of
expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a
corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys'
fees). &rdquo;</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp; Article Eight of
the Registrant&rsquo;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the liability of its directors for monetary damages
shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under
Delaware law.&nbsp; Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes
elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the
directors&rsquo; fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its
stockholders.&nbsp; These provisions do not eliminate the
directors&rsquo; duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law.&nbsp;
In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability
for:&nbsp; breach of the directors&rsquo; duty of loyalty to the
Registrant and its stockholders; acts and omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct; knowing violations of
law; any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit; and payment of dividends or approval of stock
repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware
law.&nbsp; Neither does the provision affect a director&rsquo;s
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal
securities laws, or state or federal environmental laws.&nbsp; In
addition, Part I of Article Eight of the Registrant&rsquo;s
Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires that the Registrant
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law.</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Policies of insurance are
maintained by the Company under which the directors and officers of
the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection
with the defense of actions, suits or proceeding, and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions,
suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being
or having been such directors or officers.</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Article Nine of the
Registrant&rsquo;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that its directors shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to the corporation 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 General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (relating to certain unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper
benefit.</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement.&nbsp; 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee&rdquo; table
in the effective registration statement;</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp; To
include any material information with respect to the plan of

<p><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Provided,
however,</font></i><font size="2">that paragraphs&nbsp;(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 by the Registrant pursuant to

incorporated by reference in this Registration

be the initial <i>bona fide</i> offering thereof.</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">(3)&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;</font></p>

<p><font size="2" face=

undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of

each filing of an employee benefit plan&rsquo;s annual report
pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
of expenses incurred by a director, officer or controlling person
of the Registrant in the successful defense or 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.&nbsp;</font></p>

Item 6.  
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (8 Delaware Code
§
145), the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its
directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in
such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.  The said Section 145 reads as follows:
"
§
145
.
Indemnification of officers,
directors, employees and agents; insurance
(a) A corporation shall have power to
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 the 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, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted
in good faith and in a manner the 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 the person's 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 the 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 reasonable cause to believe that the person's
conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to 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 the 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 against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner the person 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.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or
officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, 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.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this
section (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 the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. 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 no
such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.
(e) 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 this section. 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.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section
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.
(g) A corporation shall have 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 this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to "the
corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent
of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if
its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or
agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under this section with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with
respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence
had continued.
(i) For purposes of this section, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to
"fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at
the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith
and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee
benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this
section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, this section 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.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive
jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of
expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a
corporation's obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys'
fees). "
Article Eight of
the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the liability of its directors for monetary damages
shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under
Delaware law.  Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes
elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the
directors' fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its
stockholders.  These provisions do not eliminate the
directors' duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances,
equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of
non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. 
In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability
for:  breach of the directors' duty of loyalty to the
Registrant and its stockholders; acts and omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct; knowing violations of
law; any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit; and payment of dividends or approval of stock
repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware
law.  Neither does the provision affect a director's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal
securities laws, or state or federal environmental laws.  In
addition, Part I of Article Eight of the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires that the Registrant
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law.
Policies of insurance are
maintained by the Company under which the directors and officers of
the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection
with the defense of actions, suits or proceeding, and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions,
suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being
or having been such directors or officers.
Article Nine of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that its directors shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation 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 General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (relating to certain unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper
benefit.

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 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 the 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 20% 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 this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
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 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 herein,
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 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
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 by a director, officer or controlling person
of the Registrant in the successful defense or any action, suit or
