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. </P>

(b)

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Item 5.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Inapplicable.
Item 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") limits its directors' and officers' liability to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware corporate law. Specifically, the Company's directors and
officers are not liable to the Company or the Company's stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by a director or officer, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of
loyalty to the Company or the Company's stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which 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 a director or officer derives an improper personal benefit.
If the Delaware General
Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of the Company's directors and officers shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
The provision regarding indemnification of the Company's
directors and officers in the Certificate of Incorporation will generally not limit liability under state or federal securities laws.
Delaware law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provide that the Company will, in certain situations, indemnify any person
made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of that person's former or present official capacity with the Company against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses including reasonable attorney's
fees. Any person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. In addition, certain indemnification agreements to which the
Company is a party provide for the indemnification of the Company's employees who are party thereto.
The Company also maintains a
directors' and officers' insurance policy pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers.
The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers providing, subject to certain specified
exceptions contained therein, for the indemnification of such persons for related expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were serving in such
capacity.

Item 9.
UNDERTAKINGS
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective
amendment to
the 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. 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(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, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(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
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(b) 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.
(c) 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.
2. The undersigned registrant 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 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.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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.
