      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. </font></div><br>

II-2
Our
      certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under the
      Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") relating to the liability of
      directors. These provisions eliminate a director's personal liability for
      monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty, except that a
      director will be personally liable:
Ÿ
for
                  any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our
                  stockholders;
Ÿ
for
                  an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach
                  of duty of
                  the director to us or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
                  violation of law;
Ÿ
for
                  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
                  benefit;
Ÿ
under
                  Section 174 of the DGCL relating to unlawful stock repurchases
                  or
                  dividends; and
Ÿ
an
                  act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly
                  provided for by an applicable
                  statute.
These
      provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or those of any stockholder
      to
      seek nonmonetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event
      of a
      breach of a director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter a
      director's liability under federal securities laws.
Our
      certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify
      our
      directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and
      also
      provide that we must advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and
      officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted
      by Delaware law, subject to very limited exceptions.
Section145
      of the DGCL, inter alia, authorizes a corporation to 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, other than an action by or in the
      right
      of the corporation, because such person is or was a director, officer, employee
      or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation
      as
      a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation 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 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
      corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
      reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized
      for
      such persons against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
      reasonably incurred in defense or settlement of any such pending, completed
      or
      threatened action or suit by or in the right of the corporation if such person
      acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
      opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that,
      unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides, such person shall
      not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification
      may
      be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the
      stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because
      the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section145
      further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
      of
      any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
      corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
      against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
      capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
      would otherwise have the power to indemnify him. We maintain policies insuring
      our and our subsidiaries' officers and directors against specified liabilities
      for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
      Act of 1933.
We
      intend
      to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and
      officers that may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification
      provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the DGCL.
      The indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify
      our officers and directors against certain liabilities, other than liabilities
      arising from willful misconduct, that may arise by reason of their status or
      service as directors or officers. We believe that these indemnification
      arrangements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve
      as directors and officers.

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 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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of the 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 a 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 this registration statement or any material change
      to
      such information in this 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 Section 15(d) of the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
      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)
      That,
      for the 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 this 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
      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.
