is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (collectively, a &#147;Proceeding&#148;) (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the

corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he
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
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the DGCL provides that a 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, whether for the
corporation or at its request, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, 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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(c) of the DGCL also provides that, to the extent a present or
former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above
or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and

directors and officers. Article&nbsp;VI of the Company&#146;s Bylaws provides for the
indemnification of its officers and directors to substantially the same extent
permitted by the DGCL. The indemnification described above (unless ordered by
a court) shall be paid by the Company unless a determination is made that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is not proper in
the circumstances because he has not met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth above. This determination must be made:

<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) 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:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the &#147;Act&#148;);



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, 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 with or furnished to the Commission by the
Company pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
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="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act,
each filing of the Company&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
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="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a 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 (collectively, a "Proceeding") (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he 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
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he
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
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a 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, whether for the
corporation or at its request, against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, 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 of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
II-2
Table of Contents
all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c) of the DGCL also provides that, to the extent a present or
former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above
or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 145(f) of the DGCL provides that the section is not exclusive of
indemnification provided pursuant to the bylaws, indemnification agreements or
other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses.
The Company's Bylaws contain provisions regarding the indemnification of
directors and officers. Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides for the
indemnification of its officers and directors to substantially the same extent
permitted by the DGCL. The indemnification described above (unless ordered by
a court) shall be paid by the Company unless a determination is made that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is not proper in
the circumstances because he has not met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth above. This determination must be made:
•
by the Company's Board of Directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
Proceeding;
•
if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion; or
•
by the Company's stockholders.
Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides that costs, charges and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person seeking
indemnification under Article VI of the Company's Bylaws in defending a
Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and
expenses incurred by a director or officer in his capacity as a director or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by
such person while a director or officer) in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event
that it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such costs, charges and expenses
incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions, if any, as the Company's Board of Directors deems appropriate. The
Company's Board of Directors may, upon approval of such director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, authorize the Company's counsel to represent
such person in any Proceeding, whether or not the Company is a party to such
Proceeding.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may provide in
its certificate of incorporation that 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, but excludes specifically
liability for any:
II-3
Table of Contents
•
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
or its stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases
or redemptions; or
•
transactions from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
The provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a
provision eliminating the personal liability of a director from breaches of
fiduciary duty, subject to the exceptions described above.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and
officers that establish contract rights to indemnification substantially
similar to the rights to indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) 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 of 1933 (the "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 the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this 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 (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 with or furnished to the Commission by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 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
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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act,
each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
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.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 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
II-5
Table of Contents
appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
