ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The indemnification and liability of the Registrant's directors and
officers are governed by Delaware law.
Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against
liabilities that they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registrant's
Bylaws also provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors and executive
officers, and permissive indemnification of its employees and agents, to the
fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the liability of its directors for monetary damages shall be
eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. Pursuant to
Delaware law, this includes elimination of liability for monetary damages for
breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its
stockholders. These provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care and,
in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other
forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In
addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of
the directors' duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law,
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal
securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
The Registrant has entered into agreements with each of its directors and
officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred
(including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding,
whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises, provided such person acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The indemnification agreement also sets forth certain procedures that
will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
The Registrant has obtained a policy of directors' and officers' liability
insurance that insures the Registrant's directors and officers against the cost
of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
(ii) 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;
(iii) 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 further 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 this 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 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 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
4

indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
