Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the Company:

(a)

may indemnify a director or officer who, by reason of the fact that they are a director or officer, 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 Company) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in the settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer 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 the director or officer's conduct was unlawful;



II-1



(b)

may indemnify a director or officer who, by reason of the fact that they are a director or officer, 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 Company to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that such director or officer is nonetheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity; and

(c)

must indemnify, to the extent that director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in (a) or (b), against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection therewith.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that the Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or officer against any liability incurred by any director or officer in their capacity as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such director or officer against such liability.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that a director of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damage for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the Company may eliminate director liability to the Company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, except: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends, or for unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company 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.

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 a 20 percent 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 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) will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 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.

(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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 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.
