indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the DGCL, the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of
its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith
or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
under section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends and stock
purchases) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the DGCL, the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws
provide that (i)&nbsp;the Company is required to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very
limited exceptions, (ii)&nbsp;the Company is required to advance expenses, as
incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very limited
exceptions and (iii)&nbsp;the rights conferred in the Amended and Restated Bylaws
are not exclusive.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current
directors and officers to give such directors and officers additional
contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in
the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. At present,
there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or
employee of the Company regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the
Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for
indemnification.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;8 of the Underwriting Agreement relating
to the Company&#146;s initial public offering, effected pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form&nbsp;S-1 (Commission File No.&nbsp;333-59097), and to Section&nbsp;8 of the
Underwriting Agreement relating to the Company&#146;s April 1999 public offering
effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-1 (Commission File No.
333-75009), each of which provides for the indemnification of officers,
directors and controlling persons of the Company against certain liabilities.
The indemnification provision in the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Indemnity Agreements
entered into by and among the Company and each of its directors and officers
may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Company&#146;s directors
and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that

estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) (&#167; 230.424(b) of this

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 Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") authorizes a
court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Table of Contents
As permitted by the DGCL, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of
its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
under section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends and stock
purchases) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
As permitted by the DGCL, the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws
provide that (i) the Company is required to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very
limited exceptions, (ii) the Company is required to advance expenses, as
incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very limited
exceptions and (iii) the rights conferred in the Amended and Restated Bylaws
are not exclusive.
The Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current
directors and officers to give such directors and officers additional
contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in
the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. At present,
there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or
employee of the Company regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the
Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for
indemnification.
Reference is also made to Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement relating
to the Company's initial public offering, effected pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-59097), and to Section 8 of the
Underwriting Agreement relating to the Company's April 1999 public offering
effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Commission File No.
333-75009), each of which provides for the indemnification of officers,
directors and controlling persons of the Company against certain liabilities.
The indemnification provision in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Indemnity Agreements
entered into by and among the Company and each of its directors and officers
may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Company's directors
and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Company, with approval by the Company's Board of Directors, has
obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
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 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) (§ 230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% 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)(i) and (a)(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 herein.
(b)
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 herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)
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.
2.
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 (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
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
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.
