Item 6.Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL"), the Registrant is in certain circumstances permitted, and in other circumstances may be required, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against certain expenses (including attorneys' fees) and other amounts paid in connection with certain threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions, suits or proceedings in which such persons were or are parties, or are threatened to be made parties, by reason of the fact that such persons were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant. Such section also permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liability which may be asserted against, or incurred by, such persons in their capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant, or which may arise out of their status as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such persons against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
Under Article VIII of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant is required to indemnify and reimburse the expenses of all directors, officers, employees or agents to the maximum extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL or any successor provision thereto.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
The Registrant's officers and directors currently are covered by insurance protecting them from claims brought against them for acts or omissions related to the conduct of their duties, including, in certain circumstances, claims brought under the Securities Act.

Item 9.Undertakings*
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (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 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% 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.
(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) That, for the 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 provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, 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 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.
