Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers us to indemnify, subject to the standards prescribed in that Section, any person in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director, officer, employee, or agent.
Article IX of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Section 6.9 of our amended and restated bylaws provide that directors and officers shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by
the General Corporation Law of Delaware
.  Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws
require us to indemnify, in certain circumstances, any current or former director or officer against certain expenses.  Subject to the procedures, requirements, and limitations set forth in
Section 6.9 of our bylaws
, we are required to indemnify anyone who was or is a party to, is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer if such person (i) is successful in defending the claim on its merits; or (ii) is found to have (a) acted in good faith, (b) reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of our Company, and (c) in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  Covered expenses include reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement).  However, the director or officer will not be entitled to indemnification if the claim is one brought by the director or officer and the action is not approved by our board of directors.
The rights conferred by our
amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and our
amended and restated
bylaws are contractual rights and include, in certain instances, the right to be advanced the expenses incurred in defending the action, suit, or proceeding prior to final disposition, provided that the director or officer delivers an undertaking to repay all such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
Further, Article IX of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under
the General Corporation Law of Delaware
.
We also have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers pursuant to which we agree under certain circumstances to purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance, unless such insurance is not reasonably available or, in the reasonable judgment of our board of directors, there is insufficient benefit to us from such insurance.  The agreements also provide that we will indemnify each director and executive officer against any costs and expenses, judgments, settlements and fines incurred in connection with any claim involving him by reason of his position as director or officer that are in excess of the coverage provided by any such insurance, provided that he meets certain standards of conduct.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.
II-2
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law, our
amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and
amended and restated
bylaws, and our indemnity agreements dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete.  It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our
amended and restated
bylaws, and our form of indemnity agreement, the last three of which are on file with the Commission.

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;
(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.  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 was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "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;
II-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 reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant 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 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.
(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 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 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 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.
