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 that person in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding, provided that 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, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and others against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same
conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to
be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director or an officer is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that director or officer
against the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred
in connection therewith.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under Section
174 of the DGCL or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be
liable to us or our stockholders for acts or omissions as a director, except to the extent such
exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware statutory or
decisional law. The Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the &#147;By-Laws&#148;) provide that
each current or former director, officer or employee of ours, or each such person who is or was
serving or who had agreed to serve another corporation, trust or other enterprise in any capacity
at our request, will be indemnified by us to the full extent permitted by law for liability arising
from such service. Our By-Laws require us to advance expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding, so long as the person undertakes in writing to repay such
amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered into written indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our
officers. These indemnification agreements are intended to permit indemnification to the fullest
extent now or hereafter permitted

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">by the DGCL. It is possible that the applicable law could change
the degree to which indemnification is expressly permitted.</div>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification agreements cover expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred as a result of the fact that such person, in his or her
capacity as a director or officer, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or
proceeding. The indemnification agreements generally cover claims relating to the fact that the
indemnified party is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of us or any of our affiliates,
or is or was serving at our request in such a position for another entity. The indemnification
agreements also obligate us to promptly advance all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
any claim. The indemnitee is, in turn, obligated to reimburse us for all amounts so advanced if it
is later determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. The indemnification
provided under the indemnification agreements is not exclusive of any other indemnity rights;
however, double payment to the indemnitee is prohibited.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have obtained director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of each of the
indemnitees. These policies include coverage for losses for wrongful acts and omissions and to
ensure our performance under the indemnification agreements. Each of the indemnitees are insured
under such policies and provided with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of our directors and officers.</DIV>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers a Delaware
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 the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the 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 that person in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding, provided that 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, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and others against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same
conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to
be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director or an officer is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that director or officer
against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred
in connection therewith.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section
174 of the DGCL or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be
liable to us or our stockholders for acts or omissions as a director, except to the extent such
exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware statutory or
decisional law. The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws") provide that
each current or former director, officer or employee of ours, or each such person who is or was
serving or who had agreed to serve another corporation, trust or other enterprise in any capacity
at our request, will be indemnified by us to the full extent permitted by law for liability arising
from such service. Our By-Laws require us to advance expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding, so long as the person undertakes in writing to repay such
amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
We have entered into written indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our
officers. These indemnification agreements are intended to permit indemnification to the fullest
extent now or hereafter permitted
by the DGCL. It is possible that the applicable law could change
the degree to which indemnification is expressly permitted.
The indemnification agreements cover expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred as a result of the fact that such person, in his or her
capacity as a director or officer, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or
proceeding. The indemnification agreements generally cover claims relating to the fact that the
indemnified party is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of us or any of our affiliates,
or is or was serving at our request in such a position for another entity. The indemnification
agreements also obligate us to promptly advance all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
any claim. The indemnitee is, in turn, obligated to reimburse us for all amounts so advanced if it
is later determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. The indemnification
provided under the indemnification agreements is not exclusive of any other indemnity rights;
however, double payment to the indemnitee is prohibited.
We have obtained director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of each of the
indemnitees. These policies include coverage for losses for wrongful acts and omissions and to
ensure our performance under the indemnification agreements. Each of the indemnitees are insured
under such policies and provided with the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of our directors and officers.

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 this 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 this
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 Commission
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; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply because this
Registration Statement is on 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 Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
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; and
(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 this 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
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.
