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 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,

action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and further that a
corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of action or suit by or in the right of the corporation,
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except
that no indemnification shall 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 all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.&#160; To the extent that a
present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action describing in this
paragraph, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146;

except in the case where the director (1)&nbsp;breaches his duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;fails to act in good faith,
engages in intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (3)&nbsp;authorizes
the unlawful payment of a dividend or approves a stock purchase or redemption

an improper personal benefit.&#160; The

Indemnification of
Directors and Officers
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 (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
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and further that a
corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of action or suit by or in the right of the corporation,
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except
that no indemnification shall 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 all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.  To the extent that a
present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action describing in this
paragraph, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to include in its
certificate of incorporation a provision to eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or to any of its
stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except in the case where the director (1) breaches his duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (2) fails to act in good faith,
engages in intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (3) authorizes
the unlawful payment of a dividend or approves a stock purchase or redemption
in violation of Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) obtains
an improper personal benefit.  The
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
includes a provision which eliminates directors' personal liability to the
fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
3
The
Company's Certificate provides that the Company may indemnify and advance
indemnification expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made
or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any predecessor of
the Company, or is or was serving at any other enterprise as a director,
officer, or employee at the request of the Company or any predecessor of the
Company.  The Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
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, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director or officer of Company, or is or was serving at the request
of Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit, or proceeding, and such person acted in good faith (as
defined therein) and in a manner he or she 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 the reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful; and that the Company may, by action of its board of
directors or stockholders, provide indemnification to employees and agents of
the Company with the same scope and effect as indemnification of directors and
officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that a corporation
shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who 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 any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power
to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.
The
Certificate provides that the Company may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer or employee of the Company or who is or was serving at any
other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the
Company against any liability asserted against him or her and may enter
contracts providing for the indemnification of any such person to the fullest
extent permitted by law.  The Bylaws
provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, the
Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person required or
permitted to be indemnified under the Bylaws.
The
Company has obtained policies of insurance under which, subject to the
limitations of such policies, coverage is provided (1) to its directors
and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of
fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or officer, including
claims relating to public securities matters and (2) to the Company with
respect to payments which may be made by the Company to these officers and
directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a
matter of law.
The
form of the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form S-1,
filed January 10, 2005 (File No. 333-121944), as amended, is
expected to provide for the indemnification of the Company, its controlling
persons, its directors and certain of its officers by the underwriters and for
the indemnification of the underwriters by the Company, in each case against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Undertakings
A.
The undersigned 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:
a.
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
b.
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 the
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 and 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 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement;
c.
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;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (A)(1)(a) and (A)(1)(b) shall
not apply to information contained in periodic reports filed by the Company
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (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.
5
3.
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
B.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Company's Annual Report pursuant to section 13(a) or 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.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities 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 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
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 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.
