<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;145(a) and (b)&nbsp;of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provide that a
corporation may indemnify its directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals,
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation &#151; a &#147;derivative
action&#148;), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions,
and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation as authorized by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. Section 145(e) of the
DGCL further provides that such expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by former directors
and officers or other employees or agents of the corporation may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions as the corporation deems appropriate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Six of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as supplemented by
Article&nbsp;Eleven of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws, provides that each person who at
any time is or was an officer or director of the Registrant, and is or was threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or complete action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of
the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as an officer or director of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding to
the full extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Eleven of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that expenses
incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Registrant as authorized in Article&nbsp;Eleven.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of

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

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Sections 145(a) and (b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provide that a
corporation may indemnify its directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation — a "derivative
action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions,
and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an
officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the corporation as authorized by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145(e) of the
DGCL further provides that such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors
and officers or other employees or agents of the corporation may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions as the corporation deems appropriate.
Article Six of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as supplemented by
Article Eleven of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws, provides that each person who at
any time is or was an officer or director of the Registrant, and is or was threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or complete action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of
the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as an officer or director of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding to
the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.
Article Eleven of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that expenses
incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Registrant as authorized in Article Eleven.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
However, no provision
4
Table of Contents
can eliminate or limit a director's liability: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
which imposes liability on directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase
or redemption; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Article Seven of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the
liability of a director to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. Any amendment to or repeal
of Article Seven may not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Registrant
for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or
repeal.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL permits 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, 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 corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.
Article Eleven of the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws permits the Registrant to
purchase and maintain such insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant or who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions Article Eleven.

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 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% 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 SEC 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 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
6
Table of Contents
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.
