judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was illegal. In addition, the statutes of Delaware contain provisions to the general effect that
any director shall in the performance of his duties be fully protected in relying in good faith
upon the books of account or records of the corporation or statements prepared by any official of
the corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 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, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
have the power to indemnify him under Section&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director or officer of the Registrant (a)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the
Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner 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, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b)&nbsp;shall be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of the
Registrant brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant
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 with respect to any
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a
court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a
director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation,
the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant
against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall
be advanced by the Registrant to a
director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it
is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant determines that the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event the
Registrant denies a request for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request
for indemnification within 60&nbsp;days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee, such person is
permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is
entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the
Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the
General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law
as so amended.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the registrant&#146;s directors and officers shall not be liable to the registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent
that the exculpation from liabilities is not permitted under the General Corporation Law. It also
provides that the Registrant shall not indemnify a person in connection with an action that was
initiated by the person, unless the initiation of the action was approved by the directors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All of the Registrant&#146;s directors and officers are covered by insurance policies maintained by
the Registrant against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the

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.
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 ("Section
145") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended (the "General Corporation Law"), inter alia, provides that a Delaware corporation may
indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact
that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was illegal. In addition, the statutes of Delaware contain provisions to the general effect that
any director shall in the performance of his duties be fully protected in relying in good faith
upon the books of account or records of the corporation or statements prepared by any official of
the corporation.
Section 145 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, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director or officer of the Registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in
connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right
of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the
Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner 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, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of the
Registrant brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant
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 with respect to any
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a
court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a
director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation,
the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the Registrant
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall
be advanced by the Registrant to a
director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it
is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
Table of Contents
The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that indemnification is required to be made promptly unless the Registrant determines that the
applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event the
Registrant denies a request for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to dispose of a request
for indemnification within 60 days after such payment is claimed by the indemnitee, such person is
permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is
entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the
Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the
General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or
officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law
as so amended.
The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the registrant's directors and officers shall not be liable to the registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent
that the exculpation from liabilities is not permitted under the General Corporation Law. It also
provides that the Registrant shall not indemnify a person in connection with an action that was
initiated by the person, unless the initiation of the action was approved by the directors.
All of the Registrant's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies maintained by
the Registrant against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
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) above shall 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 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 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.
