Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts or Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company has authority under Section 145 of the General Business Act
of Delaware (the "DBCA") to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent
provided for in such statute. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation permits
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
The DBCA provides in part that a corporation may indemnify a director
or officer or other person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, if it is determined that such
person (a) conducted himself in good faith; (b) reasonably believed, in the case
of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation,
that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests;
and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.
A corporation may indemnify a person under the DBCA against judgments,
penalties, (including excise and similar taxes) fines, settlements, and
reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the
proceeding. If the person is found liable to the corporation or is found liable
on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received y the person, the
indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
person in connection with the proceeding, and shall not be made in respect of
any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or
intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.
A corporation may also pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a person
in connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a
proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the
proceeding.
The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the
Company and its shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf
of the Company) to recover monetary damages against an officer or director for
breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director (including breaches resulting
from grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described above.
These provisions will not limit the liability of directors or officers under the
federal securities laws of the United States. The foregoing summary of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the relevant provisions.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The Company hereby undertakes that it will:
(a) File, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental
change in the information 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 twenty
percent (20%) change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution;
4
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
paragraph (i) and (ii) above 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 Company pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(b) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement;
(b) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities
at that time to be the initial bona fide offering;
(c) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's Annual Report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
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 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 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.
