    <TD>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 Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 Company 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.</TD>

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Indemnification Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a
party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith
and in a manner the person
Table of Contents
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's
conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation,
unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses, which such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a present or former director or
officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, such person
shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred
by such person. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended. The DGCL also allows a corporation to provide for the elimination or limit of the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director
(1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law,
(3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or
(4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
These provisions will not limit the liability of directors or officers under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
Indemnification Under the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Charter")
The Fifth Article of the Company's Charter provides that the personal liability of the
directors of the Company shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL
(including, without limitation, paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 thereof), as the
same may be amended from time to time. No amendment or repeal of the Fifth Article shall apply to
or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or
with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
The Sixth Article of the Company's Charter provides that the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless, and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person") who (i) was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right
of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal
representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of
the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and
loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action
suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful or (ii)
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a
director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action
Table of Contents
or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except as otherwise provided by law.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated
Bylaws of the Company (as the same may provide from time to time) (the "Amended and Restated
By-laws"), the Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such
proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Amended and Restated
By-laws, in any written agreement with the Company, or in the specific case by the Board of
Directors or stockholders; provided, however, that if successful in whole or in part in any suit
for the advancement of expenses or indemnification hereunder, the Covered Person shall be entitled
to payment of the expense of litigating such suit. Nothing in Article VI shall affect any rights
to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Company otherwise may be entitled under the Amended and Restated By-laws, any written agreement
with the Company or otherwise. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the
Board of Directors or stockholders, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
expenses to any employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of Article
VI with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Company. Without limiting the generality or the effect of the foregoing, the Company may enter
into one or more agreements with any person that provides for indemnification greater or different
than that provided in Article VI. No amendment or repeal of this Article VI shall adversely affect
any right or protection existing thereunder or pursuant thereto immediately prior to such amendment
or repeal.
Indemnification Under the Amended and Restated By-laws
Section 5.01 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person")
who (1) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a
person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered
Person in connection with such action suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful or (2) was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or
officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit
entity or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all
liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, except as otherwise provided by law. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated By-laws, the
Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part
thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Amended and Restated By-laws, in any written
agreement with the Company, or in the specific case by the Board or stockholders; provided,
however, that if successful in whole or in part in any suit for the advancement of expenses or
indemnification hereunder, the Covered Person shall be entitled to payment of the expense of
litigating such suit. Nothing in Article V shall affect any rights to indemnification or
advancement of expenses to which directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company otherwise
may be entitled under the Amended and Restated By-laws, any written agreement with the Company or
otherwise. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board or
stockholders, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or
agent of the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of Article V with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Company. Without
limiting the
Table of Contents
generality or the effect of the foregoing, the Company may enter into one or more agreements with
any person that provides for indemnification greater or different than that provided in Article V.
No amendment or repeal of Article V shall adversely affect any right or protection existing
thereunder or pursuant thereto immediately prior to such amendment or repeal.
Section 5.02 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that it is
the intent of Article V to require the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Board or as
provided for in Section 5.01 in the case of a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by a Covered
Person, to indemnify the Covered Persons for judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement and expenses (including attorneys' fees), and to advance expenses to such persons, in
each and every circumstance in which such indemnification and such advancement of expenses could
lawfully be permitted by express provision of the Amended and Restated By-laws, and the
indemnification and expense advancement provided by Article V shall not be limited by the absence
of an express recital of such circumstances.
Section 5.03 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that
indemnification pursuant to the Amended and Restated By-laws shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the Covered Persons.
Section 5.04 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that the
Company shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition,
provided
,
however
, that, to the extent required by law, such payment
of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt
of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately
determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under Article V or otherwise.
Section 5.05 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that if a
claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding) or
advancement of expenses under Article V is not paid in full within thirty days after a written
claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Company, the Covered Person may file
suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall
have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification
or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
Section 5.06 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that the
rights conferred on any Covered Person by Article V shall not be exclusive of any other rights
which such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
Charter, the Amended and Restated By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Section 5.07 of Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws provides that the
Company's obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or
is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount
such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity.
Indemnification Under Indemnification Agreements With Our Directors and Officers
The Company has entered into
an Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and
officers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law, as the same may be amended from time to time. In addition, the
Indemnification Agreements provide for advancement of expenses under certain circumstances and
establish procedures with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses,

Item 9. Undertakings.
The Company 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 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, paragraphs 1(i) and 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 the 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
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; and
(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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual
Table of Contents
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.
(c)
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 Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 Company 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.
