  an action by us or in our right) by reason of the fact that the person is or
  was one of our directors, officers, agents or employees or is or was serving at
  our request as a director, officer, agent, or employee of another corporation,
  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
  (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
  actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action,

  successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
  proceeding, or (b)&nbsp;if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the
  person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interest, and
  with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
  believe such conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify also applies to
  actions brought by us or in our right but only to the extent of expenses
  (including attorneys&#146; fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually
  and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement
  of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no
  indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter for
  which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless and only
  to the extent that the court determines, in light of all the circumstances of
  the case, that indemnification for such expenses is proper. Our charter
  provides that no amendment, termination or repeal of Article&nbsp;Sixth will affect
  or diminish the rights of an indemnitee with respect to any action, suit or

  the amendment, termination or repeal.
  
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The effect of these provisions would be to permit indemnification by us

  1933.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also allows us to

  (above a deductible amount) arising from certain claims made against them by
  reason of certain acts done or attempted by them and (b)&nbsp;insures us against

  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Article Sixth of our charter and Section 10 of our bylaws provide that we
  will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent we are
  permitted or required to do so by Section 145 of the Delaware General
  Corporation Law. Section 145 provides, among other things, that we may
  indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
  to any
  2
  Table of Contents
  threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than
  an action by us or in our right) by reason of the fact that the person is or
  was one of our directors, officers, agents or employees or is or was serving at
  our request as a director, officer, agent, or employee 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. The power to indemnify applies (a) if such person is
  successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
  proceeding, or (b) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the
  person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interest, and
  with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
  believe such conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify also applies to
  actions brought by us or in our right but only to the extent of expenses
  (including attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually
  and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement
  of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no
  indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter for
  which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless and only
  to the extent that the court determines, in light of all the circumstances of
  the case, that indemnification for such expenses is proper. Our charter
  provides that no amendment, termination or repeal of Article Sixth will affect
  or diminish the rights of an indemnitee with respect to any action, suit or
  proceeding arising out of any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to
  the amendment, termination or repeal.
  The effect of these provisions would be to permit indemnification by us
  for, among other liabilities, liabilities arising out of the Securities Act of
  1933.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also allows us to
  obtain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against liabilities
  incurred by them while serving as a director or officer or while serving at our
  request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not we would
  have the power to indemnify them against those liabilities. We have procured a
  directors' and officers' liability and company reimbursement liability
  insurance policy that (a) insures our directors and officers against losses
  (above a deductible amount) arising from certain claims made against them by
  reason of certain acts done or attempted by them and (b) insures us against
  losses (above a deductible amount) arising from any such claims, subject in
  each case to limitations stated in the policy.

  Item 9. 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 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 percent 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 the registration statement or any
  material change to such information in the registration statement;
  provided, however
  , that paragraphs (i) and (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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
  1934 that are incorporated by reference 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; and
  4
  Table of Contents
  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 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.
  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.
