</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation
may indemnify its directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection
with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation &#150; a &#147;derivative action&#148;),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the
case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides
that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Eight of the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) contains provisions
indemnifying the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any indemnification under the Bylaws is subject
to a prior determination by a majority of the directors of the Company who are not party to the
underlying action that the person seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of
conduct.

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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the provisions of the Bylaws, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
civil or criminal suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified. The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with
certain officers and its directors setting forth the terms described herein. These indemnity
agreements provide that the Company shall indemnify the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law in effect on the date thereof or as such laws may from time to time be amended
and provide for the advancement of expenses with respect to certain proceedings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, the Bylaws provide that the Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
indemnification to its employees and agents with the same scope and effect as the foregoing
indemnification of directors and officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of 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 (i)&nbsp;any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions, or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;9 of the Company&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that to the full extent that the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, permits the
limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, a director of the Company shall not be
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. Any amendment to or repeal of such Article&nbsp;9 shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such
director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any
liability which may be asserted against such person.

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.

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 (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation
may indemnify its directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection
with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation – a "derivative action"),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the
case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides
that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Article Eight of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") contains provisions
indemnifying the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any indemnification under the Bylaws is subject
to a prior determination by a majority of the directors of the Company who are not party to the
underlying action that the person seeking indemnification has met the applicable standard of
conduct.
3
Under the provisions of the Bylaws, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
civil or criminal suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or
she is not entitled to be indemnified. The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with
certain officers and its directors setting forth the terms described herein. These indemnity
agreements provide that the Company shall indemnify the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law in effect on the date thereof or as such laws may from time to time be amended
and provide for the advancement of expenses with respect to certain proceedings.
Further, the Bylaws provide that the Company may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide
indemnification to its employees and agents with the same scope and effect as the foregoing
indemnification of directors and officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of 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 (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article 9 of the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that to the full extent that the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, permits the
limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, a director of the Company shall not be
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. Any amendment to or repeal of such Article 9 shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such
director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
The Company may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any
liability which may be asserted against such person.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

1933, as amended (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 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
5
(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 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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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; and
(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 Registrant'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.
