<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Reference is made to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), which
enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment to its
certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for
monetary damages for violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except (1)&nbsp;for any breach of a
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;pursuant to
Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemption, or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL which provides that a corporation may indemnify
any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 the person was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding,
provided the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and, for a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation
under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if
the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director
is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, which the officer
or director actually and reasonably incurred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, the Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers and directors that
provide for their indemnification with respect to certain matters, in addition to indemnification
provided for in its Amended and Restated Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify
the Registrant&#146;s officers and directors for certain expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding,
including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, arising out of such person&#146;s services as
an officer or director of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant&#146;s request. The Registrant also
maintains an insurance policy insuring the Registrant&#146;s officers and directors against liability
for certain acts and omissions while acting in their official capacities.

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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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 thereof) which, individually or
in aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 is registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum 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 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">provided, however, that paragraphs (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;above do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such

the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability

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

to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, indemnification
agreements, or otherwise, the Registrant 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 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.

Represents the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Registrant's
2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "2002 ESPP"), and the Registrant's 2002
Director Option Plan, as amended (the "2002 DOP," and
together with the 2002 ESPP, the "Plans"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement on Form
S-8 is deemed to include additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock to
be offered or issued pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the Plans.
(2)
The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share is estimated in accordance
with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating
the registration fee based on the price of $5.23 per share, which was the
average of the high and low prices per share of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the
Nasdaq Global Market on August 4, 2006.
(3)
The Amount of Registration Fee was calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of
the Securities Act, which states that the adjusted fee rate for fiscal 2006
shall be "$107.00 per $1 million" of the maximum aggregate price at which such
securities are proposed to be offered. The registration fee is therefore
calculated by multiplying the Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price by
0.000107.
(4)
The Registrant is paying an aggregate registration fee of $1,287.10 for the
registration of 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock hereunder.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), which
enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment to its
certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for
monetary damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of a
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to
Section 174 of the DGCL, providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemption, or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.
Reference is also made to Section 145 of the DGCL which provides that a corporation may indemnify
any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 the person was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding,
provided the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, for a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation
under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if
the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director
is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him against the expenses, including attorneys' fees, which the officer
or director actually and reasonably incurred.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into agreements with its officers and directors that
provide for their indemnification with respect to certain matters, in addition to indemnification
provided for in its Amended and Restated Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify
the Registrant's officers and directors for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding,
including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, arising out of such person's services as
an officer or director of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or
enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant's request. The Registrant also
maintains an insurance policy insuring the Registrant's officers and directors against liability
for certain acts and omissions while acting in their official capacities.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant to this
Registration Statement, 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 this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 is registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum 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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in "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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.
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 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 Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, indemnification
agreements, or otherwise, the Registrant 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 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.
