  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company&#146;s charter provide for indemnification of
  the Company&#146;s directors and officers for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such
  capacities. In general, directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in
  good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the Company&#146;s best
  interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had
  no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the indemnification provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
  Company&#146;s charter, the Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of its
  directors pursuant to which the Company agrees to indemnify each director (1)&nbsp;for all expenses
  (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is
  approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and
  reasonably incurred by such director by reason of any action or inaction on the part of such
  director while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that such director is or was serving
  at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other
  enterprise if such director acted in good faith and in a manner such director reasonably believed
  to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
  action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, and (2)&nbsp;for all
  expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in
  settlement, in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by the director in
  connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or
  proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment
  in its favor by reason of the fact that such director is or was a director, officer, employee or
  agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the
  part of such director while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that such director is
  or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  enterprise if such director acted in good faith and in a manner such director reasonably believed
  to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, except that no
  indemnification will be provided in respect of any claim, issue or mater as to which such Director
  is finally adjudicated by court orders or judgment to be liable to the Company in the performance
  of such director&#146;s duty to the Company and its shareholders unless and only to the extent that the
  Delaware Court of Chancery or any other court in which such action or proceeding is or was brought
  determines upon application, that despite the adjudication of liability such director is fairly and
  reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court
  deems proper. The Company is not obligated under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement to
  indemnify its directors (1)&nbsp;for proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by such
  director and not by way of defense, except for proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right
  of indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as
  required under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (but such indemnification or
  advancement of expenses may be provided if the Company&#146;s Board of Directors has approved the
  initiation of any such suit), (2)&nbsp;for any expenses incurred by a director with respect to any
  proceedings instituted by such director to enforce or interpret such director&#146;s Indemnification
  Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions
  made by such director in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous, (3)&nbsp;for
  expenses or liabilities paid directly to the directors by directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance, (4)
  on account of any claims for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by any
  director of securities of the Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, as
  amended, or (5)&nbsp;if indemnification would not be lawful.

  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not Applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's charter provide for indemnification of
  the Company's directors and officers for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such
  capacities. In general, directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in
  good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the Company's best
  interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had
  no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful.
  In addition to the indemnification provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
  Company's charter, the Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of its
  directors pursuant to which the Company agrees to indemnify each director (1) for all expenses
  (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is
  approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and
  reasonably incurred by such director by reason of any action or inaction on the part of such
  director while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that such director is or was serving
  at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other
  enterprise if such director acted in good faith and in a manner such director reasonably believed
  to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
  action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, and (2) for all
  expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in
  settlement, in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by the director in
  connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or
  proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment
  in its favor by reason of the fact that such director is or was a director, officer, employee or
  agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the
  part of such director while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that such director is
  or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
  enterprise if such director acted in good faith and in a manner such director reasonably believed
  to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, except that no
  indemnification will be provided in respect of any claim, issue or mater as to which such Director
  is finally adjudicated by court orders or judgment to be liable to the Company in the performance
  of such director's duty to the Company and its shareholders unless and only to the extent that the
  Delaware Court of Chancery or any other court in which such action or proceeding is or was brought
  determines upon application, that despite the adjudication of liability such director is fairly and
  reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court
  deems proper. The Company is not obligated under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement to
  indemnify its directors (1) for proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by such
  director and not by way of defense, except for proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right
  of indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as
  required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (but such indemnification or
  advancement of expenses may be provided if the Company's Board of Directors has approved the
  initiation of any such suit), (2) for any expenses incurred by a director with respect to any
  proceedings instituted by such director to enforce or interpret such director's Indemnification
  Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions
  made by such director in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous, (3) for
  expenses or liabilities paid directly to the directors by directors' and officers' insurance, (4)
  on account of any claims for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by any
  director of securities of the Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, as
  amended, or (5) if indemnification would not be lawful.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (a)
  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;
  (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 (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.
  (b)
  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.
  (c)
  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.
  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.
  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 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.
