<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent
provided by applicable law for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, pursuant to
Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) or for any
transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.
Under the DGCL, liability of a director may not be limited (1)&nbsp;for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or repurchases, and (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of the provisions of
the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the
Company and its stockholders (through stockholders&#146; derivative suits on behalf
of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except as provided in the Company&#146;s
Certificate of Incorporation and in the situations described in clauses (1)
through (4)&nbsp;above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the rights of
the Company or any stockholder to seek nonmonetary relief such as an injunction
or rescission in the event of a breach of a director&#146;s duty of care. The
Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

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

consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to the incorporation by reference into this
registration statement of its audit report included in such annual report.
Accordingly, Arthur Andersen LLP will not be liable to investors under Section
11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented to being named as an
expert in this registration statement. Therefore, such lack of consent may
limit the recovery by investors from Arthur Andersen LLP.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the issuance of Common Stock registered hereby is passed
on for the Company by Stan A. Mortensen. Mr. Mortensen is the Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Company and is
compensated by the Company as an employee. Mr. Mortensen owns 748 shares of
Common Stock and Company stock options to acquire up to an additional 202,500
shares of Common Stock. Mr. Mortensen is eligible to be granted additional
awards by the Company under the Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the
Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent
provided by applicable law for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, pursuant to
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") or for any
transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.
Under the DGCL, liability of a director may not be limited (1) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (3) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or repurchases, and (4) for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of the provisions of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the
Company and its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf
of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except as provided in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and in the situations described in clauses (1)
through (4) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the rights of
the Company or any stockholder to seek nonmonetary relief such as an injunction
or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The
Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

Item 9. 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;
(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; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
registration statement or any material change to such
information in this 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 with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities 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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in
Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the 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.
