ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article 8 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") contains certain provisions
permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware ("Delaware GCL") which
eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for a breach
of the director's fiduciary duty, except for: (i) breach of a director's duty
of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the unlawful
payment of dividends, stock purchase or stock redemption, or (iv) any
transaction from which the director derives any improper personal benefit.
Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a director's
liability shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware GCL, as amended from time to time. Article 9 of the Certificate of
Incorporation and Article 8 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws
also contain provisions indemnifying the Registrant's directors, officers and
employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware GCL.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware sets forth
the applicable terms, conditions and limitations governing the indemnification
of officers, directors and other persons.
In addition, the Registrant maintains officer and director liability insurance
for the benefit of its officers and directors.
William H. Janeway, a partner of Warburg Pincus & Co. and a Vice Chairman and
member of Warburg Pincus LLC, is indemnified by Warburg Pincus Private Equity
VIII, L.P. in connection with his service on the board of directors of the

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 (a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (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;
(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 Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this
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 the 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
5
SEC 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 appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
