Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, we may indemnify any of our officers or directors in any action other than actions by or in the right of our company, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings if such director or officer has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Under Section 145(b), we may indemnify any of our officers or directors in any action by or in the right of our company against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in the defense or settlement of such action if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest, except where such director or officer shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to us, unless, on application, the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person in view of all the circumstances is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Section 145(c) provides for mandatory indemnification of officers or directors who have been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b). Section 145(d) authorizes indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) in specific cases if approved by our board of directors or stockholders upon a finding that the officer or director in question has met the requisite statutory standards of conduct. Section 145(g) empowers us to purchase insurance coverage for any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The foregoing is only a summary of the described sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such sections. Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify each of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our directors shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

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. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and prices represent no more than 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 periodic reports filed 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; and

---

(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 Section 15(d) of the Securities 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 Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference into 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.

(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, 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 connected 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.
