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



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;317 of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation may indemnify
corporate &#147;agents&#148; (including directors, officers and employees of the corporation) against
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with defending non-derivative actions if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of
a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful,
and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defending derivative
actions if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and its shareholders. Indemnification is obligatory to the extent
that an agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any such proceeding
against such agent, but otherwise may be made only upon a determination in each instance either by
a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors (other than directors involved in such
proceeding), by independent legal counsel if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by the
shareholders (other than shareholders to be indemnified), or by the court, that indemnification is
proper because the agent has met the applicable statutory standards of conduct. Corporations may
also advance expenses incurred in defending proceedings against corporate agents, upon receipt of
an undertaking that the agent will reimburse the corporation unless it is ultimately determined
that the agent is entitled to be indemnified against expenses reasonably incurred.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification provided by Section&nbsp;317 of the California Corporations Code is not deemed
to be exclusive of any other rights to which agents of a corporation seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, to the extent such additional rights are authorized in the articles of the corporation.
Article&nbsp;V of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
authorizes the Registrant to provide for indemnification of its agents for breach of duty to the
Registrant and its shareholders, through bylaw provisions or through agreements with such agents,
or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section&nbsp;317, subject to the limits
on such excess indemnification set forth in Section&nbsp;204 of the California General Corporation Law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides for the indemnification of all past and current
directors and executive officers to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by Section&nbsp;317.
Additionally, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive
officers under which the Registrant has undertaken to indemnify each such agent to the fullest
extent permitted by its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws and
applicable law against all expenses, liability and loss (which are not paid by insurance or
otherwise by the Registrant) reasonably incurred or suffered by such agent in connection with the
defense of any action or proceeding to which the agent was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party by reason of conduct in his capacity as an officer or director, or in which the agent
is or may be involved by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as an officer or director of
the Registrant, not including actions brought for violation of Section&nbsp;16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or for failure to qualify for an exemption under Section&nbsp;4 of the Securities
Act of 1933.

being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant&#146;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&#146;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

This Registration Statement also covers such additional shares of Common Stock as may be
issuable pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement shall also cover any
additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the Plan by
reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction
effected without the receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant's
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(3)
Estimated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee on the basis of the
average of the high and low reported sale prices of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock
on April 27, 2005, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market. Under the Plan, the purchase
price of a share of Common Stock is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the offering date (i.e., the first day of a 24-month offering period) or the exercise date
(i.e., the last day of a six-month purchase period), whichever is less.

PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents and information previously filed with the Securities and Exchange

Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and

and to be part hereof from the date of filing such documents.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation may indemnify
corporate "agents" (including directors, officers and employees of the corporation) against
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with defending non-derivative actions if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of
a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful,
and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with defending derivative
actions if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and its shareholders. Indemnification is obligatory to the extent
that an agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any such proceeding
against such agent, but otherwise may be made only upon a determination in each instance either by
a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors (other than directors involved in such
proceeding), by independent legal counsel if such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by the
shareholders (other than shareholders to be indemnified), or by the court, that indemnification is
proper because the agent has met the applicable statutory standards of conduct. Corporations may
also advance expenses incurred in defending proceedings against corporate agents, upon receipt of
an undertaking that the agent will reimburse the corporation unless it is ultimately determined
that the agent is entitled to be indemnified against expenses reasonably incurred.
The indemnification provided by Section 317 of the California Corporations Code is not deemed
to be exclusive of any other rights to which agents of a corporation seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, to the extent such additional rights are authorized in the articles of the corporation.
Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
authorizes the Registrant to provide for indemnification of its agents for breach of duty to the
Registrant and its shareholders, through bylaw provisions or through agreements with such agents,
or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317, subject to the limits
on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the California General Corporation Law.
Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the indemnification of all past and current
directors and executive officers to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by Section 317.
Additionally, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive
officers under which the Registrant has undertaken to indemnify each such agent to the fullest
extent permitted by its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws and
applicable law against all expenses, liability and loss (which are not paid by insurance or
otherwise by the Registrant) reasonably incurred or suffered by such agent in connection with the
defense of any action or proceeding to which the agent was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party by reason of conduct in his capacity as an officer or director, or in which the agent
is or may be involved by reason of the fact that he is or was serving as an officer or director of
the Registrant, not including actions brought for violation of Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or for failure to qualify for an exemption under Section 4 of the Securities
Act of 1933.
2
The Registrant also maintains on behalf of its directors and officers liability insurance for
certain losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their capacities as
directors and executive officers of the Registrant.

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;
(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;
(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;
3
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(b) 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
