  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;SEVENTH of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
  to date (the &#147;Charter&#148;) eliminates the personal liability of directors to the
  fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
  Corporation Law and provides that no director of our company shall be
  personally liable for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as
  a director, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law
  statute prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for
  breach of fiduciary duty.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;EIGHTH of our Charter provides that each of our directors and
  officers (a)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by us against all expenses (including
  attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action
  by or in the right of us) threatened or brought against him by virtue of the
  fact that he is, or has agreed to serve as, a director or officer of our
  company or is serving in the position of director, officer, partner, employee
  or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other
  enterprise on our behalf, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
  believe his conduct was unlawful and (b)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by us against all
  expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any action by or in the right of us brought against him by
  virtue of the fact that he is, or has agreed to serve as, a director or officer
  of our company or is serving in the position of director, officer, partner,
  employee or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or
  other enterprise on our behalf, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except
  that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which
  such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court
  determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the
  circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification of such expenses.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director or officer has
  been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
  dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by
  us against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection
  therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request,
  provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately
  determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification is required to be made unless we determine that the
  applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met.
  In the event of a determination by us that the director or officer did not meet
  the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification or if we fail
  to make an indemnification payment within 30&nbsp;days after such payment is claimed
  by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an
  independent determination as to whether such person is entitled to
  indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the
  director or officer must give us notice of the action for which indemnity is
  sought and we have the right to participate in such action or assume the
  defense thereof.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;EIGHTH of our Charter further provides that the indemnification
  provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the
  Delaware General Corporation Law statute is amended, we must continue to
  indemnify our directors and officers with respect to any action that arose
  prior to the amendment, to the same extent that the director or officer would
  have been indemnified prior to the amendment.

  corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
  connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
  made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such
  person has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except
  that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
  person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
  to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification
  is proper under the circumstances.

  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.

  All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),

  Table of Contents
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Hale and Dorr LLP has opined as to the legality of the securities being
  offered by this registration statement.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Article SEVENTH of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
  to date (the "Charter") eliminates the personal liability of directors to the
  fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
  Corporation Law and provides that no director of our company shall be
  personally liable for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as
  a director, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law
  statute prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for
  breach of fiduciary duty.
  Article EIGHTH of our Charter provides that each of our directors and
  officers (a) shall be indemnified by us against all expenses (including
  attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action
  by or in the right of us) threatened or brought against him by virtue of the
  fact that he is, or has agreed to serve as, a director or officer of our
  company or is serving in the position of director, officer, partner, employee
  or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other
  enterprise on our behalf, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
  believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be indemnified by us against all
  expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
  connection with any action by or in the right of us brought against him by
  virtue of the fact that he is, or has agreed to serve as, a director or officer
  of our company or is serving in the position of director, officer, partner,
  employee or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or
  other enterprise on our behalf, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
  reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except
  that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which
  such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court
  determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the
  circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification of such expenses.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director or officer has
  been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
  dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by
  us against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
  therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request,
  provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately
  determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  Indemnification is required to be made unless we determine that the
  applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met.
  In the event of a determination by us that the director or officer did not meet
  the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification or if we fail
  to make an indemnification payment within 30 days after such payment is claimed
  by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an
  independent determination as to whether such person is entitled to
  indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the
  director or officer must give us notice of the action for which indemnity is
  sought and we have the right to participate in such action or assume the
  defense thereof.
  Article EIGHTH of our Charter further provides that the indemnification
  provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the
  Delaware General Corporation Law statute is amended, we must continue to
  indemnify our directors and officers with respect to any action that arose
  prior to the amendment, to the same extent that the director or officer would
  have been indemnified prior to the amendment.

  Table of Contents
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
  corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent
  of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
  corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in
  connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be
  made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any criminal proceeding, if such
  person has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except
  that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such
  person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
  to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification
  is proper under the circumstances.
  We maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain
  liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims
  based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
  At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
  director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be
  required or permitted under our Charter. The Registrant is not aware of any
  threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such
  indemnification.
  Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
  Not applicable.
  Item 8. Exhibits.
  The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
  Item 9. Undertakings.
  1.
  Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K
  . 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; 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 Section
  15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
  registration statement.
  -3-
  Table of Contents
  (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.
  (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.
  2.
  Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K
  . 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 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.
  3.
  Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K
  . 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 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.
