<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation 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, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she 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, 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 or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she 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 reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that a corporation similarly
may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity 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
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she 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, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or
she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and 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
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of 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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, each provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party
to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she
is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving
as a director, officer, employee or agent. Such indemnification continues as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that directors of the Company shall have no personal liability to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (1)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or

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 a 20&nbsp;percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in
the effective Registration Statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>provided, however </I>, 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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;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

the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities

Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that

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
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.

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") provides that a corporation 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, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she 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, 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 or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she 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 reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly
may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity 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
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she 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, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or
she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and 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
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of 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 Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, each provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
authorized by the DGCL each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party
to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she
is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving
as a director, officer, employee or agent. Such indemnification continues as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators.
In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that directors of the Company shall have no personal liability to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (1) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (2) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of
-3-

law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit.
The preceding discussion of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not
intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the Company's
Amended and Restated Bylaws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Section 145
of the DGCL.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive
officers in the future. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company will, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, indemnify such persons against all expenses, judgments, fines and penalties
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any actions brought against them by reason
of the fact that they were directors or officers of the Company or assumed certain responsibilities
at the direction of the Company. The preceding discussion of the Company's indemnification
agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
indemnification agreements.

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;
(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 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 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 information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
2. 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 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, 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 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 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
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.
