<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant under certain
conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law also provides that a corporation has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against
any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the provisions of Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;III, Section&nbsp;13 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the
Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors,
executive officers and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person. In
addition, expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant (or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer
of another corporation) may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Registrant as authorized by the relevant section of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article&nbsp;Fifth of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal
benefit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally
require the Registrant to indemnify its executive officers and directors
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with any
proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
executive officer or director of the Registrant. The indemnification
agreements also require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses provided
that the executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts if it is
ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also
establish a conclusive presumption that the director or executive officer has
met the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification unless a
majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors, a majority of
the stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determine
that the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is
explicitly provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a
director or officer is not entitled to full indemnification under the terms of
the indemnification agreements or under applicable law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance.
The Registrant intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements
with each of its directors and executive officers to effectuate these indemnity
provisions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Item&nbsp;9. Undertakings



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (ii)&nbsp;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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of 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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective Registration
Statement; and (iii)&nbsp;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; (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; and
(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
Registrant&#146;s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that
is incorporated by reference into 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 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.

(f)
The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A12B filed
with the Commission on June 15, 1998, in which are described the

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements subsequently
filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act") prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained 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 subsequently filed
document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies
or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant under certain
conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law also provides that a corporation has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against
any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
II-1
Table of Contents
Article III, Section 13 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the
Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors,
executive officers and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person. In
addition, expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant (or was serving at the Registrant's request as a director or officer
of another corporation) may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Registrant as authorized by the relevant section of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
Article Fifth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal
benefit.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally
require the Registrant to indemnify its executive officers and directors
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred by the executive officer or director in connection with any
proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
executive officer or director of the Registrant. The indemnification
agreements also require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses provided
that the executive officer or director undertakes to repay the amounts if it is
ultimately determined that the executive officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification for the expenses. The indemnification agreements also
establish a conclusive presumption that the director or executive officer has
met the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification unless a
majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors, a majority of
the stockholders or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determine
that the applicable standard has not been met. Partial indemnification is
explicitly provided for in the indemnification agreements in the event that a
director or officer is not entitled to full indemnification under the terms of
the indemnification agreements or under applicable law.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The Registrant intends to enter into additional indemnification agreements
with each of its directors and executive officers to effectuate these indemnity
provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.
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 1933 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of 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; 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; (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; 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
Registrant's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 1934 Act that
is incorporated by reference into 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.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 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.
