advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></p>

Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):
(a)
The
Registrant's Registration Statement No. 333-124228 on Form S-1 filed with the

Commission on June 3, 2005, June 22, 2005, July 8, 2005, July 11, 2005 and July

period from December 28, 2003 through May 10, 2004 (Predecessor) and for the
period from May 11, 2004 through January 1, 2005 (Successor); and
(b)
The
Registrant's Registration Statement No. 001-32568 on Form 8-A filed with the
Commission on July 13, 2005 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), in which there is described the
terms, rights, and provisions applicable to the Registrant's common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock").
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), subsequent to the effective date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the
date of filing of such documents.  Any
statement contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein
or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a
Delaware corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify
its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits
or proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right of the
corporation, by reason
2
of the fact that they were or are such directors,
officers, employees or agents, against expenses incurred in any action, suit or
proceeding.  The Company's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide
for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time
to time, and the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions
contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section
102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that
a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
(relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or
dividends on, capital stock) of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.  The Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
The
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws authorize the Company to purchase insurance for directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Company 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. 
The Company may advance expenses to its directors, officers and
employees in connection with a legal proceeding, subject to limited
exceptions.  The Company intends to
maintain insurance coverage for its directors and officers under a directors
and officer's liability insurance policy as well as coverage to reimburse the
Company for potential costs of its indemnification of directors and officers.

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;
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the 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 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;
(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 registration
statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) 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.
(h)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
