<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s authority to indemnify its officers and directors is governed by the
provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), by
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the registrant (the &#147;Certificate of
Incorporation&#148;) and by indemnification agreements entered into with directors and officers (the
&#147;Indemnity Agreements&#148;).

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation (a &#147;derivative action&#148;)) if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with
defense or settlement of such an action and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be
any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant provides that the registrant shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, (i)&nbsp;indemnify any and all persons whom it
shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and (ii)&nbsp;advance expenses
related thereto to any and all said persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for therein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those
indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another
capacity while holding such offices, and shall continue as to persons who have ceased to be
directors, officers, employees or agents and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such persons. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant
provides for the elimination of personal liability of directors of the registrant to the registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended and supplemented.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indemnity Agreements provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and obligate the registrant to
provide the maximum protection allowed under Delaware law. In addition, the Indemnity Agreements
supplement and increase that protection.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant has purchased an insurance policy that provides coverage for losses arising
from claims made against the directors or officers for any actual or alleged wrongful act in their
capacities as directors or officers of the registrant. The coverage only applies, however, if
indemnity is not available under the provisions described above in this Item&nbsp;6.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
&#147;Securities Act&#148;) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act , each filing of the registrant&#146;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&#146;s annual report pursuant to 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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.&nbsp;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
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 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.

This registration statement covers up to 3,000,000 shares of the registrant's common stock
issuable under the registrant's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, pursuant to Rule
416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, this registration statement also covers an

(2)
The registration fee is computed, in accordance with Rule 457(h)(1) and Rule 457(c) under the

The registration fee has been reduced by $515.45, which
amount is being offset, under Rule 457(p), against fees previously

(d) The description of the registrant's common stock contained in the Fourth Amendment to
registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A/A (File No. 1-12367) filed on October 16, 2003
under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), including all
exhibits thereto, and any other amendment or report filed with the Commission for the purpose of
updating that description.
All documents subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of this registration statement and prior to the
termination of this offering shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration
statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of those documents. Any statement
contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any document which is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified

Item 4. Description of Securities
.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The registrant's authority to indemnify its officers and directors is governed by the
provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), by
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the registrant (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") and by indemnification agreements entered into with directors and officers (the
"Indemnity Agreements").
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation (a "derivative action")) if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
defense or settlement of such an action and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be
any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
registrant.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant provides that the registrant shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, (i) indemnify any and all persons whom it
shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and (ii) advance expenses
related thereto to any and all said persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for therein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those
indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another
capacity while holding such offices, and shall continue as to persons who have ceased to be
directors, officers, employees or agents and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such persons. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant
provides for the elimination of personal liability of directors of the registrant to the registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended and supplemented.
The Indemnity Agreements provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and obligate the registrant to
provide the maximum protection allowed under Delaware law. In addition, the Indemnity Agreements
supplement and increase that protection.
The registrant has purchased an insurance policy that provides coverage for losses arising
from claims made against the directors or officers for any actual or alleged wrongful act in their
capacities as directors or officers of the registrant. The coverage only applies, however, if
indemnity is not available under the provisions described above in this Item 6.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

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 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.
(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 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
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 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
