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.</p>

dates:

The Company's Annual Report

superseded.
Item 4.    Description of Securities.
This Item is not applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
This Item is not applicable.
Item
6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") permits a corporation to provide in
its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation
shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability for:
•
any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of
dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other
distributions; or
•
any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article
Seventh of the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of
such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company, subject to certain limitations. The DGCL provides that
Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The
Company's Second Amended and Restated By-laws (the
"By-laws") provide for the indemnification of
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 10.1 of the By-laws provides that the Company has the power,
under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings
brought against them by a third party or in the right of the Company,
by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers,
employees or agents, against expenses incurred in any such action, suit
or proceeding.
The Company has entered into separate
indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and officers
that provide indemnification to its directors and officers under
certain circumstances for acts or omissions, which may not be covered
by directors and officers liability insurance, and may, in some cases,
be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under
Delaware law. The Company also maintains standard policies of insurance
under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers to
insure against certain liabilities that such persons may incur in their
capacities as directors and officers of the Company.
Item
7.    Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not
applicable.
Item 8.    Exhibits.
See Exhibit
Index.
Item 9.    Undertakings.
A.    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 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
clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Company 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 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 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.
C.    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.
