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 a 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 of
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.</font></p>

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
For purposes of this Registration Statement, Heller Ehrman White &
McAuliffe LLP is giving its opinion on the validity of the shares being
registered.  As of the date of this
registration statement, certain attorneys of Heller Ehrman White &

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "
DGCL
")
allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate
agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances
for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under
the Securities Act.  Article XII of the
Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Article VI
of the Registrant's amended bylaws authorize indemnification of the
Registrant's directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and
under the circumstance permitted by the DGCL.
The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors and
certain officers that will require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their
status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited
by law.  The Registrant maintains
liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
The above discussion of the DGCL and the Registrant's amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, amended bylaws, and indemnification
agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by
such statute, amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended bylaws
and indemnification agreements.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
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 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.
(2)
that, for purposes 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 the 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 a 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 of
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.
