to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that limits or eliminates the personal
liability of directors of a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act
in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the
payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware
corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows 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, 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 a director, officer, 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided
that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an
action by or in the right of a corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same
conditions against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation with respect to such claim, issue or matter. Where a
present or former director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">Section&nbsp;174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, among other
things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends
or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who
was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid
liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered into the books containing the
minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately
after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision that
provides that each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or a proceeding, by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director or an officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
Registrant&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit
plan, or an indemnitee, 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, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to
the fullest extent permitted or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights than
such law permitted the Registrant to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, with limited
exceptions relating to rights to indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Registrant&#146;s board of directors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">The Registrant&#146;s policy is to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and executive
officers by Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and also provides
for certain additional procedural protections.

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,

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.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents have been filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "
SEC
") and are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act, on August 2, 2010, relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended
(Registration No. 333-166129), containing audited financial statements of the
Registrant for the latest period for which such statements have been filed;
(b)
The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010;
(c)
The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 6,
2010 and September 14, 2010; and
(d)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A (Registration No. 001-34827), filed with the SEC under
Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "
Exchange Act
"),
on July 21, 2010, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating
such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or
which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, will be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. The Registrant will not, however, incorporate by reference any documents or portions
thereof that are not deemed "filed" with the SEC, including any information furnished pursuant to
Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K unless, and except to the
extent, specified in such reports.
Any statement contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also
is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows a corporation
to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that limits or eliminates the personal
liability of directors of a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of a
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act
in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the
payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware
corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware allows 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, 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 a director, officer, 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, partnership, joint venture, trust or other 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
that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an
action by or in the right of a corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same
conditions against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation with respect to such claim, issue or matter. Where a
present or former director or officer of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, among other
things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends
or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who
was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid
liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered into the books containing the
minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately
after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision that
provides that each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is
otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or a proceeding, by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director or an officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit
plan, or an indemnitee, 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, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to
the fullest extent permitted or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the Registrant to provide broader indemnification rights than
such law permitted the Registrant to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, with limited
exceptions relating to rights to indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such
indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Registrant's board of directors.
The Registrant's policy is to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and executive
officers by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and also provides
for certain additional procedural protections.
2
In addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that it
may maintain insurance to protect itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the Registrant's request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any
such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Registrant would
have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware. The Registrant has and intends to maintain director and officer liability
insurance, if available on reasonable terms.

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 of
1933;
(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 SEC 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;
3
(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 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 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 (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 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 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.
