Item 4. Description of Securities.
<P>
Not Applicable.
<P>
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
<P>
Not Applicable.
<P>
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
<P>
The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the
Company provide that the Company shall indemnify to the
fullest permitted by Delaware law any person whom it may
indemnify thereunder, including directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company. Such
indemnification (other than as ordered by a court) shall
be made by the Company only upon a determination that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because
the individual met the applicable standard of conduct
i.e., such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the Company. Advances for such
indemnification may be made pending such determination.
Such determination shall be made by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of disinterested directors, or by
independent legal counsel or by the stockholders. In
addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides for
the elimination, to the extent permitted by Delaware law,
of personal liability of directors to the Company and its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as directors.
<P>
The Company has also agreed to indemnify each director
and executive officer pursuant to an Indemnification
Agreement with each such director and executive officer
from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liability incurred by such director or
executive officer for or as a result of action taken or
not taken while such director or executive officer was
acting in his capacity as a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company. The obligations of the Company
for indemnification is limited to the extent provided in
the Delaware Business Corporation Act and is also limited
in situations where, among others, the indemnitee is
deliberately dishonest, gains any profit or advantage to
which he is not legally entitled or is otherwise
indemnified.
<P>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 of 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.

<P>
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
<P>
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
<P>
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
<P>
(b) 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
<P>
(c) 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.
<P>
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do
not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or
Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by this paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
<P>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the 1933 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.
<P>
(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.
<P>
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the 1934 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.
<P>
(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the
prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
or given, the latest annual report to security holders
that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and
furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of
Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the 1934 Act; and, where
interim financial information required to be presented by
Item 310(b) of Registration S-B is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each
person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the
latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated
by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim
financial information.
<P>
(6) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the
prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is
sent or given, a copy of the Registrant's annual report
to stockholders for its last fiscal year, unless such
employee otherwise has received a copy of such report, in
which case the registration shall state in the prospectus
that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of
such report on written request of the employee. If the
last fiscal year of the Registrant has ended within 120
days prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual
report of the Registrant for the preceding fiscal year
may be so delivered, but within such 120-day period the
annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished
to each such employee.
<P>
(7) To transmit or cause to be transmitted to all
employees participating in the Plans who do not otherwise
receive such material as stockholders of the Registrant,
at the time and in the manner such material is sent to
its stockholders, copies of all reports, proxy statements
and other communications distributed to its stockholders
generally.
<P>
