<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her 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 in violation of Delaware corporate law or
obtained an improper personal benefit. The registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that
no director shall be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages
for any breach of fiduciary duty as director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination
or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power
to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons
serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that the registrant will indemnify each
person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or

registrant&#146;s best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
claim, issue or 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 or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that any indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, the
registrant will indemnify him or her against all expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an indemnitee under
certain circumstances.

These indemnification agreements would require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify its
directors for certain expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts
incurred by a director in any action or proceeding arising out of his service as one of the
registrant&#146;s directors, or any of the registrant&#146;s subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise

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 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 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP has opined as to the legality of the securities
being offered by this registration statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her 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 in violation of Delaware corporate law or
obtained an improper personal benefit. The registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that
no director shall be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages
for any breach of fiduciary duty as director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination
or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power
to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons
serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
The registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the registrant will indemnify each
person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the registrant, by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is
or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the registrant's request as a director, officer,
partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, all such persons being referred to as an indemnitee, or
by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if
such indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the registrant's best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the registrant will indemnify any
indemnitee who was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the registrant to procure a judgment in our favor by
reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, the registrant's
director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the registrant's request as a
director, officer, partner, employee or
- 2 -
trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such
capacity, against all expenses, including attorneys' fees, and, to the extent permitted by law,
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the indemnitee in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the indemnitee acted
in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
registrant's best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
claim, issue or 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 or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that any indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, the
registrant will indemnify him or her against all expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an indemnitee under
certain circumstances.
The registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors in addition to the indemnification provided for in its certificate of incorporation.
These indemnification agreements would require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify its
directors for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts
incurred by a director in any action or proceeding arising out of his service as one of the
registrant's directors, or any of the registrant's subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise
to which the person provides services at the registrant's request.
The registrant maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers certain
liabilities of directors and officers of the registrant arising out of claims based on acts or
omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
1.
Item
512(a)
of Regulation S-K
. 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; and
- 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 (i) and (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 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.
2.
Item
512(b)
of Regulation S-K
. 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 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.
3.
Item
512(h)
of Regulation S-K
. 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 Securities and Exchange 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.
