certain circumstances include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act as
well as for expenses incurred in that regard. Article&nbsp;Nine of the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of
Incorporation and Article&nbsp;V of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide for indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. The

</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 3%">(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective

10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;);
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 3%">(2)&nbsp;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;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 3%">(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 offering.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;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&#146;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

directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
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 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 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 Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

For the sole purpose of calculation of the registration fee, the number of
shares to be registered under this Registration Statement is the number of additional shares
authorized to be issued under the Registrant's 2003 Stock Plan
and 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This registration statement also
shall cover any additional shares of Registrant's common stock that become issuable under the 2003
Stock Plan or the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar
transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of consideration that results in an increase
in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock.
(2)
Each share of common stock includes a right to purchase one one-thousandth of a
share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock.
(3)
Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, solely for the purpose of calculating the total registration fee. Computation based on the
average of the high and low reported prices of the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange on January 24, 2006, because the exercise prices for the options to be granted in the
future and the prices at which the shares will be purchased in the future are not currently
determinable.

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 to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(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 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant'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 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.
(h) 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 Registrant 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 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 Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
