must be indemnified by the Company against, in the case of a non-derivative
action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including

type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.&#160; This indemnification does not apply, (i) in a
derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director,
officer, associate or agent is liable to the Company, unless upon court order
it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for expenses, and, (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal
proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.</font></p>

Incorporation
of Documents by Reference.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
allows the Company to "incorporate by reference" the information the Company
files with it, which means the Company can disclose important information to
you by referring you to those documents. 
The information included in the following documents is incorporated by
reference and is considered to be a part of this prospectus.  The most recent information that the Company
files with the Commission automatically updates and supersedes more dated
information.  The Company has previously
filed the following documents with the Commission and is incorporating them by
reference into this prospectus:
•
The
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, filed
on March 31, 2004;
•
The
Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 7, 2005, March 1, 2005 and
March 4, 2005; and
2
•
The
description of the Company's Class A common stock contained in the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A dated December 10, 2004, filed pursuant to Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
All documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to
filing a post-effective amendment that indicates all the shares of the
Class A common stock offered have been sold, or that deregisters all shares of
Class A common stock then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated
by reference into, and to be a part of, this Registration Statement from the
date of filing of those documents.  The
information contained in any such documents will automatically update and
supercede any information previously incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement.  Any such
information so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Greenberg Traurig, LLP has provided the Company with
an opinion relating to the legality of the Class A common stock being offered
by this Registration Statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides, in effect, that
any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, associate or agent of the Company may and, in certain cases,
must be indemnified by the Company against, in the case of a non-derivative
action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of
a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), if in either
type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.  This indemnification does not apply, (i) in a
derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director,
officer, associate or agent is liable to the Company, unless upon court order
it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for expenses, and, (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal
proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.
Article VI
of the Company's certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the
Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL.
Article VII
of the Company's certificate of incorporation also provides that the Company
shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law any and all of
its directors and officers, or former directors and officers, or any person who
may have served at the Company's request as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Reference
is made to Section 8 of the underwriting agreement, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the
Company's Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed on
December 7, 2004, pursuant to which the underwriters of the Company's initial
public offering agreed to indemnify officers and directors of the Company
against certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
3
The
Company may enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors
and certain of its officers.  Pursuant to
such agreements, the Company may be obligated, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to indemnify such directors and officers against all expenses,
judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that they
were directors or officers of the Company or assumed certain responsibilities
at the direction of the Company.
The
Company maintains insurance coverage for its directors and officers with
respect to certain liabilities incurred in their capacities as such and for the
Company with respect to any payments which it becomes obligated to make to such
persons under the foregoing charter and statutory provisions.

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 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 and 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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(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) 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 registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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 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 Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's certificate of
incorporation or the Company's bylaws, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the
5
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.
