these individuals in any action or proceeding arising out of their service to the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which these individuals provide services at the Registrant&#146;s request. Subject to

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. </P>

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 under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrant's restated certificate
of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL. Consequently, the Registrant's directors are not personally liable to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders;
•
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of
the DGCL; or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation and the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws require the Registrant to
indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent not prohibited by the DGCL and allow it to indemnify other employees and agents as authorized by its Board of Directors or by the action of a committee of the Board of Directors or
designated officers established by or designated in resolutions approved by its Board of Directors. Subject to certain limitations, the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws also require it to advance expenses incurred by its directors and
officers for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted.
The Registrant has entered, and intends to
continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain other employees, in addition to the indemnification provided for in its restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. These
agreements, among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers and certain other employees for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts actually incurred by
these individuals in any action or proceeding arising out of their service to the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which these individuals provide services at the Registrant's request. Subject to
certain limitations, the Registrant's indemnification agreements also require it to advance expenses incurred by its directors, officers and certain other employees for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or
permitted.
The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers. The indemnification provisions in the
Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement; and
(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) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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 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.
