</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 permits a Delaware corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or witness or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a
corporation may indemnify against expenses, costs and fees (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
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 his or her conduct
was unlawful. If the person indemnified is not wholly successful in such action, suit or
proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in such proceeding, he or she may be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In the
case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made in
respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine that, despite the
adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section&nbsp;145 provides that, to the extent a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or manner therein, he or she
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall 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 whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of our company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director, officer,
employee or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if 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, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at our
request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if 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 and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other
court shall deem proper.

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to provisions
described in Item&nbsp;6 above or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 hereunder, 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 of 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.

Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereunder includes such
indeterminate number of additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock as may be
offered or issued under the plans to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock
dividends and similar transactions.
(2)
Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of
computing the registration fee and based upon the mid-point of the range of the offering
price for the Company's initial public offering pursuant to its Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-139793).
(3)
This fee has been calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act by
multiplying the proposed maximum aggregate offering amount by 0.0000307.
(4)
Each share of Common Stock includes one Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
purchase right pursuant to a rights agreement entered into between the registrant and the
rights agent. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchase rights will
initially be attached to and trade with the shares of Common Stock being registered hereby.
The value attributed to such rights, if any, is reflected in the market price of the
Common Stock. Accordingly, no separate registration fee is payable with respect thereto.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or witness or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or enterprise. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a
corporation may indemnify against expenses, costs and fees (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
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 his or her conduct
was unlawful. If the person indemnified is not wholly successful in such action, suit or
proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in such proceeding, he or she may be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In the
case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made in
respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine that, despite the
adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 provides that, to the extent a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or manner therein, he or she
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection therewith.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall 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 whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of our company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director, officer,
employee or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if 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, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at our
request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if 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 and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other
court shall deem proper.

Table of Contents
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by us in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by us as authorized in our certificate
of incorporation. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as our board of directors deems appropriate.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses described above:
•
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office;
•
shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to
a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent; and
•
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
such a person.
Our certificate of incorporation also provides that our directors shall not be personally
liable to us or our 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 us or our stockholders;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
•
for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.
Any repeal or modification of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation
governing indemnification or limitation of liability shall be prospective only, and shall not
adversely affect:
•
any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts
then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or
thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts; or
•
any limitation on the personal liability of a director existing at the time
of such repeal or modification.
We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors
and executive officers under which we have agreed to indemnify, and to advance expenses to, each
director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law with respect to
liabilities they may incur in their capacities as directors and officers.
We maintain director and officer liability insurance to insure each person who was, is, or
will be our director or officer against specified losses and wrongful acts of such director or
officer in his or her capacity as such, including breaches of duty and trust, neglect, error and
misstatement. In accordance with the director and officer insurance policy, each insured party will
be entitled to receive advances of specified defense costs.
Please read "Item 9. Undertakings" for a description of the Commission's position regarding
such indemnification provisions.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

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:
(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. 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
-6-
Table of Contents
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% 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 the Registration Statement; provided, however, that
paragraphs (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 Commission by the registrant
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 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 this 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 registrant pursuant to provisions
described in Item 6 above or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 hereunder, 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 of 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.
