Such indemnification agreements provide for indemnification against any and all expenses incurred in connection with, as well as any and all judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement resulting from, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (collectively an "Action"), by reason of the fact that such director is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise.  The indemnification agreements provide that if any payment, advance or indemnification of the director requires that he or she acted in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be for or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or without reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, then it shall be presumed that he or she so acted unless proven otherwise by clear and convincing evidence.  The indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from the investigation of any claim, preparation for the defense or defense or settlement of an Action.  The indemnification agreements authorize the Company to participate in the defense of any action and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the director, provided that the director shall be entitled to separate counsel of his or her choosing if he or she reasonably believes that (i) there exists conflicting interests between himself or herself and the Company or other parties (the defense of whom the Company shall have assumed) or (ii) there is any substantial likelihood that the Company will be financially or legally unable to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement.  The indemnification agreements provide that a director's rights under such contract are not exclusive of any other indemnification rights he or she may have under any provision of law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, the vote of the Company's stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 7. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Exemption from Registration Claimed</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Not applicable.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 8. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Exhibits</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Exhibits filed with this Amendment:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;
