payments to the participants in the Plan.&#160;
The Plan was adopted in part to comply with the recently enacted Section&nbsp;409A

respect to deferrals of salary to those participants who are eligible to
receive matching contributions under the Company&#146;s 401(k) plan, and (ii)
discretionary contributions. The amounts deferred under the Plan represent an
obligation of the Company to make payments to the participant at some time in the
future, in an amount equal to: (1) deferral contributions, or compensation
which the participants have elected to defer under the terms of the Plan, (2)
matching contributions, to the extent vested, (3) discretionary contributions,
to the extent vested, and (4) earnings on the foregoing amounts based on a

discretionary contributions) will be indexed to one or more investment funds
individually chosen by the participant from a list determined by the Plan&#146;s
investment committee, which list may change from time to time. The investment funds
selected by a participant will be used to measure the return on his or her Plan
accounts. The investment funds will be used only for the purpose of calculating
hypothetical returns, and the amounts in participants&#146; Plan accounts will not
actually be invested in the selected investment funds.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All participants are immediately vested in all
elective deferrals made to their accounts.&#160;
Each participant shall have a fully vested interest in his or her
matching contribution account as of the first to occur of : (1) the participant&#146;s
attainment of age 60, (2) the participant&#146;s death, (3) the participant&#146;s
disability, (4) a Change of Control, (5) termination of the Plan, or (6) the
completion of five years of vested service, as defined under the Plan.&#160; If a participant terminates employment at a
time when the participant does not have a fully vested interest in his or her
matching contribution account, the participant&#146;s vested interest shall be
determined in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule&nbsp;for matching
contributions in effect under the Company&#146;s 401(k) plans. Any portion of a
participant&#146;s matching contribution account which is not vested shall be
forfeited in the first deferral period in which his or her termination of
employment with the Company and all affiliates occurs.&#160; Vesting in any discretionary contributions
shall be the same as for matching contributions, unless otherwise determined by
the Company or the Plan committee.</font></p>

Company under the Plan are unsecured general obligations, and will rank equally
with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, from time to time
outstanding, payable from the general assets of the Company. &#160;The Company will establish a trust to serve as
a source of funds from which it can satisfy the obligations.&#160; Participants in the Plan will have no rights
to any assets held by the trust, except as general creditors of the Company.
Assets of the trust will at all times be subject to the claims of the general
creditors of the Company and the general creditors of its affiliates adopting
the Plan.</font></p>

distributed in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Plan.&#160; Distributions generally begin following a participant&#146;s
termination of employment, withdrawal from the Plan, or death.&#160; Such distributions are generally payable in monthly
installments over a period not to exceed 15 years, or in a single lump
sum.&#160; Early limited distributions in a
lump sum may also be made in accordance with a proper advance election, or in
connection with certain unforeseen emergencies.&#160;
Amounts retained in the participant&#146;s account during such payout period
continue to earn hypothetical gains and are subject to hypothetical losses.</font></p>

or her accounts may not be alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
attached or otherwise encumbered by the participant and may only pass upon the
participant&#146;s death pursuant to a beneficiary designation made by a participant
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The obligations are not convertible
into any other security of the Company and there is no trading market for the
obligations.</font></p>

appointed by the chief executive officer of the Company.&#160; The Company reserves the right to terminate
the Plan at any time, and the participant&#146;s vested interests will be
distributed.&#160; Additionally, the Company
has reserved the right to take action under the Plan, including amending or
terminating the Plan, or distributing amounts deferred under the Plan, to the
extent the Company determines such action is advisable to comply with the
requirements of Section&nbsp;409A of the Code.&#160;
Any such action may adversely affect the rights of a participant without
his or her consent.</font></p>

Indemnification Agreements with our directors, executive officers and certain
other officers. Generally, the Indemnification Agreements provide that we will
indemnify such persons against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties
and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other
charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect to such expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of any Claim by
reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event. &#147;Claim&#148; is
defined as any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding or
any inquiry or investigation, whether conducted by us or any other party, that
the indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other. &#147;Indemnifiable Event&#148; is defined as any event or
occurrence related to the fact that indemnitee is or was our director, officer,
employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary, or is or was serving at our request as a
director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by the indemnitee in any
such capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)&nbsp;our obligation to
indemnify the indemnitee shall be subject to the condition that the reviewing
party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which
special, independent counsel is involved) that the indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and (ii)&nbsp;our obligation
to make an expense advance shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and
to the extent that the reviewing party determines that the indemnitee would not
be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, we will be entitled to
be reimbursed by the indemnitee (who has agreed to reimburse us for any amounts
theretofore paid; provided, that if the indemnitee has commenced legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that
the indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination
made by the reviewing party that the indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and the indemnitee shall
not be required to reimburse us for any expense advance until a final judicial
determination is made with respect thereto as to which all rights of appeal therefrom
have been exhausted or lapsed).</font></p>

the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a Delaware corporation to provide
in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any such provision
cannot eliminate or limit a director&#146;s liability: (1)&nbsp;for any breach of
the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
(2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law (which imposes liability on directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption); or
(4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. Article&nbsp;Thirteenth of our Certificate of Incorporation
eliminates the liability of each of our directors to us and our stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.</font></p>

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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.&#160; 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.</p>

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").  The following description of the material
terms of the Plan is qualified by reference to the Plan.
The Plan provides that certain executive officers, directors
and other key employees of the Company or certain of its affiliates the right
to defer a portion of their compensation. 
Eligible employees may elect to defer a percentage of their salary
and/or bonus under the Plan.  The Company
(or the applicable employer affiliate) may make (i) matching contributions with
respect to deferrals of salary to those participants who are eligible to
receive matching contributions under the Company's 401(k) plan, and (ii)
discretionary contributions. The amounts deferred under the Plan represent an
obligation of the Company to make payments to the participant at some time in the
future, in an amount equal to: (1) deferral contributions, or compensation
which the participants have elected to defer under the terms of the Plan, (2)
matching contributions, to the extent vested, (3) discretionary contributions,
to the extent vested, and (4) earnings on the foregoing amounts based on a
notional investment measurement, all of which is reflected in the individual accounts
maintained for each of the participants.
2
The amounts deferred (plus any matching and
discretionary contributions) will be indexed to one or more investment funds
individually chosen by the participant from a list determined by the Plan's
investment committee, which list may change from time to time. The investment funds
selected by a participant will be used to measure the return on his or her Plan
accounts. The investment funds will be used only for the purpose of calculating
hypothetical returns, and the amounts in participants' Plan accounts will not
actually be invested in the selected investment funds.
All participants are immediately vested in all
elective deferrals made to their accounts. 
Each participant shall have a fully vested interest in his or her
matching contribution account as of the first to occur of : (1) the participant's
attainment of age 60, (2) the participant's death, (3) the participant's
disability, (4) a Change of Control, (5) termination of the Plan, or (6) the
completion of five years of vested service, as defined under the Plan.  If a participant terminates employment at a
time when the participant does not have a fully vested interest in his or her
matching contribution account, the participant's vested interest shall be
determined in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule for matching
contributions in effect under the Company's 401(k) plans. Any portion of a
participant's matching contribution account which is not vested shall be
forfeited in the first deferral period in which his or her termination of
employment with the Company and all affiliates occurs.  Vesting in any discretionary contributions
shall be the same as for matching contributions, unless otherwise determined by
the Company or the Plan committee.
The deferred compensation obligations incurred by the
Company under the Plan are unsecured general obligations, and will rank equally
with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, from time to time
outstanding, payable from the general assets of the Company.  The Company will establish a trust to serve as
a source of funds from which it can satisfy the obligations.  Participants in the Plan will have no rights
to any assets held by the trust, except as general creditors of the Company.
Assets of the trust will at all times be subject to the claims of the general
creditors of the Company and the general creditors of its affiliates adopting
the Plan.
The amounts payable to participants under the Plan are
distributed in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Plan.  Distributions generally begin following a participant's
termination of employment, withdrawal from the Plan, or death.  Such distributions are generally payable in monthly
installments over a period not to exceed 15 years, or in a single lump
sum.  Early limited distributions in a
lump sum may also be made in accordance with a proper advance election, or in
connection with certain unforeseen emergencies. 
Amounts retained in the participant's account during such payout period
continue to earn hypothetical gains and are subject to hypothetical losses.
A participant's rights to any amounts credited to his
or her accounts may not be alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
attached or otherwise encumbered by the participant and may only pass upon the
participant's death pursuant to a beneficiary designation made by a participant
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The obligations are not convertible
into any other security of the Company and there is no trading market for the
obligations.
The Plan is administered by a three person committee
appointed by the chief executive officer of the Company.  The Company reserves the right to terminate
the Plan at any time, and the participant's vested interests will be
distributed.  Additionally, the Company
has reserved the right to take action under the Plan, including amending or
terminating the Plan, or distributing amounts deferred under the Plan, to the
extent the Company determines such action is advisable to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
Any such action may adversely affect the rights of a participant without
his or her consent.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers a Delaware corporation to
indemnify, subject to the standards set forth therein, any person who is a
party in any action in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding brought
or threatened by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer,
employee or agent
3
of such company,
or is or was serving as such with respect to another entity at the request of
such company. The General Corporation Law of Delaware also provides that a
Delaware corporation may purchase insurance on behalf of any such director,
officer, employee or agent.
Article Tenth of our
Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of our officers and
directors to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
We have entered into
Indemnification Agreements with our directors, executive officers and certain
other officers. Generally, the Indemnification Agreements provide that we will
indemnify such persons against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties
and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other
charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect to such expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of any Claim by
reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event. "Claim" is
defined as any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding or
any inquiry or investigation, whether conducted by us or any other party, that
the indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other. "Indemnifiable Event" is defined as any event or
occurrence related to the fact that indemnitee is or was our director, officer,
employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary, or is or was serving at our request as a
director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by the indemnitee in any
such capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) our obligation to
indemnify the indemnitee shall be subject to the condition that the reviewing
party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which
special, independent counsel is involved) that the indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and (ii) our obligation
to make an expense advance shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and
to the extent that the reviewing party determines that the indemnitee would not
be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, we will be entitled to
be reimbursed by the indemnitee (who has agreed to reimburse us for any amounts
theretofore paid; provided, that if the indemnitee has commenced legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that
the indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination
made by the reviewing party that the indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and the indemnitee shall
not be required to reimburse us for any expense advance until a final judicial
determination is made with respect thereto as to which all rights of appeal therefrom
have been exhausted or lapsed).
We carry insurance
policies which cover our individual directors and officers for legal liability
and which would pay on our behalf for expenses of indemnifying directors and
officers in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law enables a Delaware corporation to provide
in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any such provision
cannot eliminate or limit a director's liability: (1) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law (which imposes liability on directors for
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption); or
(4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. Article Thirteenth of our Certificate of Incorporation
eliminates the liability of each of our directors to us and our stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

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, as amended (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 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;
provided, however
,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall 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
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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
(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 this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 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
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.
