ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to
limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of a
director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any
II-1
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article SEVEN of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section
102(b)(7).
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to
indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and,
subject to certain limitations, against certain costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to
which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director or officer of the
corporation if it is determined that he acted in accordance with the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. Article EIGHT of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant
will indemnify any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made
a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director or an officer of the Registrant or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
director, officer, employee or agent or in any capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance
covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by the officers and directors
of the Registrant in connection with the performance of their duties.

24.1 Power of Attorney (set forth on the signature page of
this Registration Statement).
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plans and
any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely
manner and to make all changes required by the Internal Revenue Service
to qualify such Plans, with such undertaking limited in scope to
amendments to the Plans, if any, not covered by the determination
letters filed as Exhibits 5.1-5.5.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers of 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;
(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;
(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;
(2) 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.
II-3
(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, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 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.
* * *
(h) 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
II-4

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
