Pursuant to the authority provided by its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors,
indemnifying them against certain potential liabilities that may arise as a result of their service
to the Registrant, and providing for certain other protections.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides (subject to certain limitations) for
indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Corporations Code of California of agents of
the Registrant, including officers and directors, who were or are parties to any action or
proceeding against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with all threatened, pending or completed actions or proceedings,
including civil, criminal, administrative and investigative actions and proceedings that arise by
reason of the fact that any such persons are or were agents of the Registrant.

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.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Sections 204(a) and 317 of the California General Corporation Law authorize a corporation to
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification (including reimbursement for expenses) under certain circumstances for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.
Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides for
indemnification of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by California law.
Pursuant to the authority provided by its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors,
indemnifying them against certain potential liabilities that may arise as a result of their service
to the Registrant, and providing for certain other protections.
Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides (subject to certain limitations) for
indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Corporations Code of California of agents of
the Registrant, including officers and directors, who were or are parties to any action or
proceeding against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with all threatened, pending or completed actions or proceedings,
including civil, criminal, administrative and investigative actions and proceedings that arise by
reason of the fact that any such persons are or were agents of the Registrant.
The Registrant also maintains an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against
liability for certain acts and omissions while acting in their official capacities.

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 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-
Table of Contents
(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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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.
