of Securities.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law gives a corporation power to indemnify
any person who 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 corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent 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 if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the
3
corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the persons conduct was unlawful.
Section 145
also gives a corporation power to indemnify any person who 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 corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that, to the extent that a
present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or
in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 145 also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
The Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Companys Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
The Company has obtained and intends to maintain in effect directors
and officers liability insurance policies providing customary coverage for our
directors and officers against losses resulting from wrongful acts committed by
them in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company.
The above discussion of the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law is not intended to be exhaustive and is
respectively qualified in its entirety by such documents and statute.
Please read Item 9. Undertakings for a description of the Commissions position regarding such indemnification provisions.

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 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) (§230.424(b) of
this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% 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 (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 with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
(b)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed
5
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 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
