Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the issuance of the Common Stock registered hereby will be passed upon for the Registrant by John F. McCabe, Esq.

PAGE Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware empowers a corporation incorporated under that statute to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents and its former directors, officers, employees, and agents and those who serve in such capacities with another enterprise at its request against expenses, as well as judgments, fines, and settlements in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity. The power to indemnify shall only exist where such officer, director, employee, or agent has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, where such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, unless a court shall determine to the contrary, where such a person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, the corporation shall have no power of indemnification. Indemnification is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue, or matter has been successfully defended. Indemnification is not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise. A Delaware corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the persons it has the power to indemnify, whether or not indemnification against such liability would be allowed under the statute. The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 	 Generally, under the By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, indemnification of directors and officers is mandatory to the full extent permitted by law. The Registrant has provided liability insurance coverage for each director and officer with respect to certain losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their capacities of directors or officers of the Registrant. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. 	 Not Applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. 	 The Exhibit Index on page E-1 is hereby incorporated by reference. Item 9. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: 	 	 (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are 		 are being made, a post-effective amendment to this 		 registration statement: PAGE 		 (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; 			 and 			 		 (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 registration statement is on Form S-3 		 or Form S-8 and 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) 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 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 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. (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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defence of any action, suit or proceeding) PAGE is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of 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.
