<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power 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 the
corporation, because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity
may be against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or

to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s
conduct was unlawful.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power 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 or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, against any expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect
of 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 the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall
deem proper.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person
in any such capacity, or arising out of the person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the
law. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, a director will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. In addition, our by-laws provide that we will
indemnify each director and officer and may indemnify employees and agents, as determined by our
board, to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

<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 the limitation of directors&#146;
personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duties as a director except for (i)&nbsp;any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii)&nbsp;breaches under section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchase or redemptions, and (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the personal
liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by section 102 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power 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 the
corporation, because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity
may be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
3
Table of Contents
proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe the person's
conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power 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 or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director or officer
of the corporation, against any expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect
of 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 the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall
deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person
in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the
law. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, a director will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. In addition, our by-laws provide that we will
indemnify each director and officer and may indemnify employees and agents, as determined by our
board, to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the limitation of directors'
personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duties as a director except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) breaches under section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchase or redemptions, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the personal
liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by section 102 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

Table of Contents
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for our officers and directors.
We expect to enter into an indemnification agreement with each of our executive officers and
directors that provides, in general, that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by
law in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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;
5
Table of Contents
(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 the
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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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)  above do 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 us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (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 hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4)
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 hereof.
(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
6
Table of Contents
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.
