ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. The Registrant's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, 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
director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for
actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, 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 law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
In addition, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant believes
that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross
negligence by indemnified parties, and permits the Registrant to advance
litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other
actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances
if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrant's Bylaws permit, and its Board of Directors has
authorized, the purchase of liability insurance for the Registrant's officers
and directors.
The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements
with its directors and officers. These agreements require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by
reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than
liabilities arising from actions not taken in good faith or in a manner the
director or officer believed to be opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified (subject to certain
conditions), and to obtain liability insurance for any director with terms of
insurance no less favorable than those provided to any other director of the
Registrant, and for any officer with terms of insurance no less favorable than
those provided to any other officer of the Registrant. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable. The Registrant believes that its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.

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 this 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 this Registration Statement;
(iii) 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.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or 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
herein, 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 Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities and 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 and 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.
(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 (see Item 6) 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 of 1933 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.
