or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and
that the Registrant is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of
expenses to) directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Corporation in excess
of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory limits created by
applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a corporation, its
stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that directors of
a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of

partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that the
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>

judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of

adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. </FONT></P>

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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</FONT></TD>

Description of Securities.
Not

Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not

Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Article
10 of the Registrant's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same now exists
or may hereafter be amended, a director shall not be personally liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and
that the Registrant is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of
expenses to) directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Corporation in excess
of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory limits created by
applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a corporation, its
stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that directors of
a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that the
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws also provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or
officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Registrant except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The
Registrant's Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of the
Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of
the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
-2-
The
Registrant's Bylaws also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant for any liability arising out of
his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit
indemnification. The Registrant currently maintains liability insurance for its officers
and directors.
The
Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in
addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or
proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, arising out of
such person's services as a director or officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the
Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at
the request of the Registrant.

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 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.
(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 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.
-3-
(c)
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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
