to the fullest extent permitted by&#xA0;the Section 145 of the

directors or officers shall not be personally liable to either to
the Registrant or its shareholders for damages for breach of such
director&#x2019;s or officer&#x2019;s fiduciary duty. The effect of
this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate
the rights of the Registrant and its shareholders (through
shareholders&#x2019; derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant)
to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the
fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches
resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except
under certain situations defined by statute. The Registrant
believes that the indemnification provisions in the Certificate of
Incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons
as directors and officers.</font></font></div>

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 SEC 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 4.
Description of Securities
Not
applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not
applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "
Certificate of
Incorporation
") provides,
to the fullest extent permitted by the Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, that the Registrant's
directors or officers shall not be personally liable to either to
the Registrant or its shareholders for damages for breach of such
director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of
this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate
the rights of the Registrant and its shareholders (through
shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant)
to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the
fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches
resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except
under certain situations defined by statute. The Registrant
believes that the indemnification provisions in the Certificate of
Incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons
as directors and officers.
The Registrant's Bylaws also provide that
its Board of Directors (the "
Board
") may also authorize the indemnification
our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of
such persons, to the same extent, following the same
determinations, and upon the same conditions as are required for
the indemnification of, and advancement of, expenses to the
Registrant's directors and officers. As of the date of this
Registration Statement, the Board has not extended indemnification
rights to persons other than directors and
officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, employees or other persons
controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

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; and
(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 the Registration Statement; and
(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; and
(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 therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(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 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 SEC 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.

to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
