liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for such
liability as is expressly not subject to limitation under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended to further limit or eliminate
such liability. Moreover, the Corporation shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify any and all officers and
directors of the Corporation, and may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law or to such lesser extent as is determined in the
discretion of the Board of Directors, indemnify any and all other
persons whom it shall have power to indemnify, from and against
all expenses, liabilities or other matters arising out of their
status as such or their acts, omissions or services rendered in
such capacities. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a

was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;9. Undertakings.</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company hereby undertakes:



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;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:3%; 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:3%; 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. 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 a prospectus filed with the SEC
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 &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table
in the effective registration statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; 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="font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(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 with or furnished to the SEC
by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.


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


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


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company&#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 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&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 the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article SEVENTH of
our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Sections 8.1 and 8.6 of Article VIII
of our bylaws, as amended, and indemnification agreements entered into by us
with our directors provide for the indemnification of our officers, directors,
employees and agents under certain circumstances.
Set forth below is Article SEVENTH of our Restated Certificate of
Incorporation pertaining to indemnification of officers, directors, employees
and agents and insurance:
"SEVENTH: 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 such
liability as is expressly not subject to limitation under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended to further limit or eliminate
such liability. Moreover, the Corporation shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify any and all officers and
directors of the Corporation, and may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law or to such lesser extent as is determined in the
discretion of the Board of Directors, indemnify any and all other
persons whom it shall have power to indemnify, from and against
all expenses, liabilities or other matters arising out of their
status as such or their acts, omissions or services rendered in
such capacities. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liability."
Set forth below are Sections 8.1 and 8.6 of Article VIII of our bylaws, as
amended:
"Section 8.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a
"proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of
whom he or she is the legal representative is or was or has agreed
to become a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was
serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation
as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another
corporation
2
Table of Contents
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to an employee benefit plan
(hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such
proceeding is action alleged to have been taken or omitted in an
official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or
trustee or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to
serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest
extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the
Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all
expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith;
provided,
however,
that, except as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to
proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation
shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation."
"Section 8.6 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the
Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from
time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to
indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee
or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the
provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and
officers of the Corporation."
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our
directors, under which we have agreed to indemnify such directors in accordance
with, and to the fullest extent permitted by, the Delaware General Corporation
Law, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection
with any proceeding in which the indemnitee was or is made a party or was or is
involved by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director.
We have also purchased liability insurance policies covering our directors and officers.

Item 9. 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. 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 a prospectus filed with the SEC
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;
(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 (1)(i) and (1)(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 with or furnished to the SEC
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference 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.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for 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 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.
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 SEC 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.
