<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the
request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or
is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person
shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal
proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of
the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such
indemnification is proper under the circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;EIGHTH of the Registrant&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;) provides that no director
of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law
prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches
of fiduciary duty.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
or officer of the Registrant (a)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by the Registrant against
all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) brought, or
threatened to be brought, against him by virtue of his position as, or
agreement to become, a director or officer of the Registrant or by virtue of
his serving, or agreeing to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a
director, officer, or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, a corporation,
trust or other enterprise, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b)&nbsp;shall be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in
the right of the Registrant brought, or threatened to be brought, against him
by virtue of his position as, or agreement to become, a director or officer of
the Registrant or by virtue of his serving, or agreeing to serve, at the
request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, a corporation, trust or other enterprise, if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be
made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that,
despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without
prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses
shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request, provided that he
undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he
is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is required to provide the indemnification described herein
unless the officer or director has not met the applicable standard of conduct
required for indemnification. Whether the applicable standard of conduct has
been met shall be determined in each instance by (a)&nbsp;a majority vote of the
directors of the Registrant consisting of persons who are not at that time
parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (&#147;disinterested
directors&#148;), whether or not a quorum, (b)&nbsp;a majority vote of a committee of
disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors,
whether or not a quorum, (c)&nbsp;a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding
shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a
single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that
time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (d)&nbsp;independent
legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal
counsel to the Registrant), or (e)&nbsp;a court of competent jurisdiction. In the
event of a determination that the director or officer did not meet the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification, or if the
Registrant fails to make a disposition within 60&nbsp;days after written request for
indemnification or advancement of expenses to the Registrant is made by such
person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a
condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer
must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and
the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the
defense thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation further provides that
the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the
event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand the
indemnification permitted to directors or officers, the Registrant must
indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so
amended.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
that would indemnify its directors and officers against damages arising out of
certain kinds of claims that might be made against them based on their
negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as such.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of
its non-employee directors. Pursuant to these agreements, the Registrant has
agreed to indemnify each such director for any damages, including expenses,
incurred by the director in connection with any civil or criminal action or
proceeding as a result of any action or inaction of the director as a member of
the Registrant&#146;s board of directors or the board of any subsidiary of the
Registrant, or at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Registrant or any other entity, provided
that the director 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 Registrant and,
with respect to criminal actions, that the director had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to these agreements, the Registrant has also agreed to indemnify
each such non-employee director for expenses and amounts paid in settlement
that are directly or indirectly incurred by the director in connection with an
action by or in the right of the Registrant to which the director is a party by
reason of the director&#146;s service (i)&nbsp;on the Registrant&#146;s board of directors,
(ii)&nbsp;on the board of any subsidiary of the Registrant, or (iii)&nbsp;at the request
of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Registrant or any other entity, provided that (a)&nbsp;the director 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 Registrant and (b)&nbsp;the director may not be
indemnified for liability to the Registrant unless the court in such action
determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, these indemnification agreements obligate the Registrant to
advance expenses incurred by each such director within 10&nbsp;days of a request by
the director, which expenses are to be repaid only in the event it is
ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to indemnification.
Such advances are

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">to be made without regard to the financial ability of the director to make
such repayment, and are to be unsecured and interest free.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to these agreements, the non-employee director must give the
Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought, and the
Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense
thereof. If the Registrant fails to make full payment of an indemnification
claim within 45&nbsp;days after such payment is claimed by the director, the
director may bring an action against the Registrant to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim. The Registrant may assert, as a defense against such
claim, that the director has failed to meet the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the law for the Registrant to indemnify the director for
the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense is on the
Registrant, and the director is entitled to receive payment of his or her

undertakes:



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



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

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 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement

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.

- 1 -
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP has opined as to the legality of
the securities being offered by this registration statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the
request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or
is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person
shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal
proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of
the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such
indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Article EIGHTH of the Registrant's Third Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that no director
of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law
prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches
of fiduciary duty.
Article NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
or officer of the Registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the Registrant against
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) brought, or
threatened to be brought, against him by virtue of his position as, or
agreement to become, a director or officer of the Registrant or by virtue of
his serving, or agreeing to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a
director, officer, or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, a corporation,
trust or other enterprise, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees)
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in
the right of the Registrant brought, or threatened to be brought, against him
by virtue of his position as, or agreement to become, a director or officer of
the Registrant or by virtue of his serving, or agreeing to serve, at the
request of the Registrant, as a director, officer, or trustee of, or in a
similar capacity with, a corporation, trust or other enterprise, if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall be
made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that,
despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without
prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses
shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request, provided that he
undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he
is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
- 2 -
The Registrant is required to provide the indemnification described herein
unless the officer or director has not met the applicable standard of conduct
required for indemnification. Whether the applicable standard of conduct has
been met shall be determined in each instance by (a) a majority vote of the
directors of the Registrant consisting of persons who are not at that time
parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question ("disinterested
directors"), whether or not a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a committee of
disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors,
whether or not a quorum, (c) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding
shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a
single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that
time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (d) independent
legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal
counsel to the Registrant), or (e) a court of competent jurisdiction. In the
event of a determination that the director or officer did not meet the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification, or if the
Registrant fails to make a disposition within 60 days after written request for
indemnification or advancement of expenses to the Registrant is made by such
person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a
condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer
must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and
the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the
defense thereof.
Article NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation further provides that
the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the
event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand the
indemnification permitted to directors or officers, the Registrant must
indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so
amended.
The Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance
that would indemnify its directors and officers against damages arising out of
certain kinds of claims that might be made against them based on their
negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as such.
The Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of
its non-employee directors. Pursuant to these agreements, the Registrant has
agreed to indemnify each such director for any damages, including expenses,
incurred by the director in connection with any civil or criminal action or
proceeding as a result of any action or inaction of the director as a member of
the Registrant's board of directors or the board of any subsidiary of the
Registrant, or at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary of the Registrant or any other entity, provided
that the director 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 Registrant and,
with respect to criminal actions, that the director had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Pursuant to these agreements, the Registrant has also agreed to indemnify
each such non-employee director for expenses and amounts paid in settlement
that are directly or indirectly incurred by the director in connection with an
action by or in the right of the Registrant to which the director is a party by
reason of the director's service (i) on the Registrant's board of directors,
(ii) on the board of any subsidiary of the Registrant, or (iii) at the request
of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Registrant or any other entity, provided that (a) the director 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 Registrant and (b) the director may not be
indemnified for liability to the Registrant unless the court in such action
determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.
Further, these indemnification agreements obligate the Registrant to
advance expenses incurred by each such director within 10 days of a request by
the director, which expenses are to be repaid only in the event it is
ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to indemnification.
Such advances are
- 3 -
to be made without regard to the financial ability of the director to make
such repayment, and are to be unsecured and interest free.
Pursuant to these agreements, the non-employee director must give the
Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought, and the
Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense
thereof. If the Registrant fails to make full payment of an indemnification
claim within 45 days after such payment is claimed by the director, the
director may bring an action against the Registrant to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim. The Registrant may assert, as a defense against such
claim, that the director has failed to meet the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the law for the Registrant to indemnify the director for
the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense is on the
Registrant, and the director is entitled to receive payment of his or her
expenses in the interim.
The Registrant has further agreed to indemnify each such director to the
fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is
not specifically authorized by the indemnification agreement.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
1.
Item
512(a)
of Regulation S-K
.
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; 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;
(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.
- 4 -
2.
Item
512(b)
of Regulation S-K
.
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.
Item
512(h)
of Regulation S-K
.
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.
