Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
("Delaware Corporation Law") provides, in general, that a corporation shall have
the 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, because the person is or was a director
or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may be 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
corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the
person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was
unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the 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 because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
against any 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, 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
be indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any
liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of
the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power
to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of Section
145 of the Delaware Corporation Law.
Article VI of the Registrant's By-laws requires indemnification to the
fullest extent permitted or required under Delaware law of any person who is or
was a director or officer of the Registrant who is or was involved or threatened
to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation,
claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or is or was serving at
the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
other enterprise.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section
145 of the Delaware Corporation Law and Article VI of the By-laws of the
Registrant.
The Registrant's Directors' and Officers' Liability and Reimbursement
Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the Registrant for payments made by it
pursuant to the foregoing indemnification.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed or
incorporated by reference as part of this Registration Statement.
The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the
Savings Plan and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service in a
timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the Internal
Revenue Service in order to qualify such Savings Plan under Section 401 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The 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 a 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 20 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(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
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 the 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.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant
under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities:
II-3
The Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the Registrant pursuant to this Registration
Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 pursuant to the Securities Act;
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or
referred to by the Registrant;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
to the offering containing material information about the
Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
Registrant; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering
made by the Registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The 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 Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities 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.
(h) 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
