ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not Applicable.
ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not Applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as presently in
effect, provides that a director, officer, employee or other agent ("Agent") of
a corporation (i) must be indemnified by the corporation for all expenses
incurred by him (including attorneys' fees) when he is successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any proceeding brought by reason of the fact that he
is or was an Agent of the corporation ("Proceeding"), (ii) may be indemnified by
the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation) even if he is not successful on the merits if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
2
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and, in the
case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful), and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by him in the defense of a Proceeding
brought by or in the right of the corporation even if he is not successful on
the merits, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no
indemnification may be made under the circumstances described in clause (iii) if
the Agent is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless a court determines that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances,
he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the expenses which
the court shall deem proper. The indemnification described in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above (unless ordered by a court) may be made only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination by (i) a majority of a quorum of
disinterested directors, (ii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(iii) the stockholders, that indemnification is proper in the circumstances
because the applicable standard of conduct has been met. Expenses incurred by
an officer or director in defending a Proceeding may be advanced by the
corporation prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the advance if it is
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be advanced by
the corporation upon terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the board of
directors.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is
otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that
such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or
was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans (an "indemnitee"), against all liability and
loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by
such indemnitee. The Company is required to indemnify an indemnitee in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only
if the initiation of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors for monetary
damages in connection with a breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL.
The Company's Bylaws generally require the Company to indemnify, as
well as to advance expenses, to its directors and its officers, employees and
other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended.
The Company, through its majority shareholder, maintains liability
insurance for its directors and officers covering, subject to certain
exceptions, any actual or alleged negligent act, error, omission, misstatement,
misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty by such directors or officers,
individually or collectively, in the discharge of their duties in their capacity
as directors and officers of the Company.
3
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, ("1933 Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
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
1933 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in the volume of the securities offered (if the total value of
securities offered would not exceed that which is registered) and any
deviation from the low or high and 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 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.
4
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933
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.
(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.
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 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 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
