DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive
officers. The form of indemnity agreement provides that the Company will indemnify
against any and all expenses a director or executive officer who incurs expenses because
of his or her status as a director or executive officer, to the fullest extent permitted
by the Company&#146;s bylaws. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions relating to the
limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and officers. The certificate of
incorporation provides that directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability: (1) for any breach of the directors&#146; duty of loyalty to us or the
Company&#146;s stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) in respect of certain unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section
174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (4) for any transaction from which the
director derives any improper personal benefit. The certificate of incorporation also
provides that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after the approval by
the Company&#146;s stockholders of the certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Company&#146;s bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its
directors and executive officers and may indemnify other officers, employees and other
agents of the Company to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. These
provisions do not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the
federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Company has purchased
a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policy providing coverage up to specified
amounts for losses incurred by the Company, its directors or officers in connection with
specified claims against them, including specified claims under state and federal
securities laws. </FONT></P>

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. </FONT></P>

INDEMNIFICATION OF
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The
Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive
officers. The form of indemnity agreement provides that the Company will indemnify
against any and all expenses a director or executive officer who incurs expenses because
of his or her status as a director or executive officer, to the fullest extent permitted
by the Company's bylaws.
The
Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions relating to the
limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and officers. The certificate of
incorporation provides that directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability: (1) for any breach of the directors' duty of loyalty to us or the
Company's stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) in respect of certain unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section
174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (4) for any transaction from which the
director derives any improper personal benefit. The certificate of incorporation also
provides that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after the approval by
the Company's stockholders of the certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Company's bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its
directors and executive officers and may indemnify other officers, employees and other
agents of the Company to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law. These
provisions do not affect a director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the
federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Company has purchased
a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing coverage up to specified
amounts for losses incurred by the Company, its directors or officers in connection with
specified claims against them, including specified claims under state and federal
securities laws.

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) (Section 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;
5
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 by the issuer pursuant to section 13 or
section 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 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 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.
6
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable

thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Oakland, State of California, on June 26, 2002.
