that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company
or is or was serving at the Company&#146;s request as a director, officer, agent, or
employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgment, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify
applies (1)&nbsp;if the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding, or (2)&nbsp;if the person acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not
opposed to the best interest, of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right
of the Company as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of
the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in these actions no
indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company, unless the
court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should
apply.

a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the

limit the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty; (ii)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of the law; (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, relating
to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or
(iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to existing 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
The Company's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
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 ("DGCL") provides,
among other things, that the
Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason
2
of the fact
that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company
or is or was serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, agent, or
employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgment, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify
applies (1) if the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if the person acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not
opposed to the best interest, of the Company, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right
of the Company as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including
attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of
the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in these actions no
indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company, unless the
court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should
apply.
The Company's restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, includes
a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the
extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted
under the DGCL. Section 102 of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate or
limit the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating
to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Company's bylaws provide that to the maximum extent permitted by law,
the Company must indemnify any of the following persons, including their heirs,
executors and personal representatives, against any and all amounts incurred or
imposed in connection with any proceeding, other than a proceeding initiated by
such person:
•
a director, officer or employee of the Company; or
•
a director, officer or employee of the Company who at
the specific written request or resolution of the board of
directors of the Company is, at the time of the proceeding and/or
of the alleged events giving rights to the proceeding, serving as
a director, officer or employee of any other company,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise; or
•
a fiduciary or co-fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
of the Company.
The indemnification provisions contained in the Company's restated
certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws are not exclusive of any
other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. In addition, the Company
may maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and executive officers
insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their capacities
as directors or officers or arising out of their status.

Undertakings
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 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; 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
(i) and (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
Commission
by the Company pursuant
to
Section 13 or
Section 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 herein, 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.
The Company hereby further undertakes that, for the 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, (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 this
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.
4
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to existing 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.
