(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the

proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Delaware corporation 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 or

by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
our Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable
to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director. However, such provision does not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for
breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase
which was illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. In addition, our
Bylaws contain 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 our 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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the provisions of our 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 directors setting forth the terms
described herein. These indemnity agreements provide that the Company is not
obligated to advance expenses in an action against the Company by the
indemnified officer or director unless the action seeks to enforce the
indemnity agreement.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&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.

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

2002 Non-Executive Stock Incentive Plan.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The information required in Part I of this Registration Statement is
included in the prospectus for the Company's 2002 Non-Executive Stock Incentive

pursuant to Note to Part I of Form S-8.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement:
1.
The Company's most recent Annual Report, which on the date this Form
S-8 is filed is the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, filed on February 28, 2003.
2.
The description of the Common Stock set forth in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 000-24799), filed with
the Commission on August 13, 1998, under which the Company registered
the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange

with any amendment or report filed with the Commission for the purpose
of updating such description.
All reports and other documents that the Company subsequently files with
the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that the
Company has sold all of the securities offered under this Registration
Statement or that deregisters the distribution of all such securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement from the date that the Company files such report or
document. Any statement contained in this Registration Statement or any report
or document incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference,
however, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in a
subsequently dated report or document that is also considered part of this
Registration Statement, or in any amendment to this Registration Statement, is
inconsistent with such prior statement. The Registrant's file number with the
Commission is 000-24799.
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(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
Delaware corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that such person 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,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person 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 the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
Delaware corporation 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 or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth
above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards, except that no
indemnification may be made in respect of 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 in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view
of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that
(i) to the extent that a former or present director or officer of a corporation
has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
therewith; (ii) indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled;
and (iii) the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or any person who at the request of the
corporation was serving in such capacity for another entity against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liabilities under Section 145.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
our Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable
to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director. However, such provision does not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director for acts or omissions not in good faith or for
breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase
which was illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. In addition, our
Bylaws contain 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 our 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.
Under the provisions of our 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 directors setting forth the terms
described herein. These indemnity agreements provide that the Company is not
obligated to advance expenses in an action against the Company by the
indemnified officer or director unless the action seeks to enforce the
indemnity agreement.
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.

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 of 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 hereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement; and (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;
(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; and
(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 that is incorporated by reference in the 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.
C.
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.
