<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) grants each corporation
organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of a corporation or enterprise against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with 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 being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner
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 conduct was
unlawful.
</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 corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an
amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty of care,
except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors
for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws of the
Company provide
for such limitations on liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to the form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit&nbsp;1.1 to the Company&#146;s

provisions providing that the underwriters and the Company are obligated under certain
circumstances to indemnify the Company&#146;s directors, officers and controlling persons against
certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company currently maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and
executive officers insuring them against certain liabilities asserted against them in their

(a)
The Company's Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act
(Registration No. 333-124963) filed with the Commission on August 8, 2005 (the

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Table of Contents
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") grants each corporation
organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of a corporation or enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with 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 being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner
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 conduct was
unlawful.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an
amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the director's fiduciary duty of care,
except (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) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors
for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws of the
Company provide
for such limitations on liability.
Reference is made to the form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-124963) ("Form S-1") for
provisions providing that the underwriters and the Company are obligated under certain
circumstances to indemnify the Company's directors, officers and controlling persons against
certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
In addition, the Company currently maintains insurance on behalf of its directors and
executive officers insuring them against certain liabilities asserted against them in their
capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status. Such insurance would be
available to the Company's directors and officers in accordance with its terms.

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 set forth 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 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.
(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;
Table of Contents
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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 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 hereby 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 herein, 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.
