provides that its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be
indemnified against liabilities incurred by them while acting in such
capacities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, except to
the extent prohibited by then applicable law. Article&nbsp;V also provides for the
advance of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding prior to the final
disposition thereof, except to the extent prohibited by then applicable law.
The right of indemnification provided shall not be exclusive of any right the
party may have by law, or under any agreement, insurance policy, vote of the
Board of Directors or stockholders or otherwise. The Company has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnifiable party against
any liability asserted against or incurred by the indemnifiable party in such
capacity.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides
that indemnification will only be available where an officer or director can
establish that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;EIGHTH of the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation currently
provides that each director shall not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders 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 Company or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the GCL, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper benefit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company currently maintains policies of insurance under which the
directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and
subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or
proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such
directors or officers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For a description of the SEC&#146;s position on indemnification, see the last
paragraph of Item&nbsp;9, &#147;Undertakings,&#148; which is incorporated by reference in
response to this Item&nbsp;6.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, 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.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the

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;(h)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item&nbsp;6, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Joseph G. Martinez, Senior V.P. and General Counsel of the Company, has
rendered a legal opinion as to the legality of the securities being registered
hereunder. Mr. Martinez is employed as an officer of the Company and has
beneficial ownership of 116,161 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is a Delaware corporation. Article V of the Company's bylaws
provides that its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be
indemnified against liabilities incurred by them while acting in such
capacities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, except to
the extent prohibited by then applicable law. Article V also provides for the
advance of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding prior to the final
disposition thereof, except to the extent prohibited by then applicable law.
The right of indemnification provided shall not be exclusive of any right the
party may have by law, or under any agreement, insurance policy, vote of the
Board of Directors or stockholders or otherwise. The Company has the power to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnifiable party against
any liability asserted against or incurred by the indemnifiable party in such
capacity.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides
that indemnification will only be available where an officer or director can
establish that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests.
Article EIGHTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation currently
provides that each director shall not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders 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 Company or its 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 GCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper benefit.
The Company currently maintains policies of insurance under which the
directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and
subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain
liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or
proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such

Table of Contents
(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
Securities Act of 1933;
(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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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 the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in this registration statement;
provided, however
, that subparagraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Carlsbad, State of California, on the 11th day
