<p align=left><font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
    145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the &#147;DGCL&#148;)
    empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase
    insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status
    as directors and officers, provided that this provision shall not eliminate
    or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director&#146;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) arising under Section 174 of the DGCL, or
    (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
    benefit. The DGCL provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder
    shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors
    and officers may be entitled under the corporation&#146;s bylaws, any agreement,
    a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,
    as amended (the &quot;Certificate&quot;) eliminates the personal liability
    of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
    DGCL
    and provides
    that the Registrant shall fully 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)
    by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of
    the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as
    a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
    trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including
    attorney&#146;s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
    and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit
    or proceeding.</font></p>
<p align=left><font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance
    with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate in effect as of the date hereof,
    provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s
    directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders
    for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as directors of the
    Registrant. Under the DGCL, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant
    which is not eliminated by this provision of the Certificate and, in appropriate
    circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
    relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to
    be subject to liability under the DGCL for breach of the director&#146;s
    duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions which are found
    by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or involving
    intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading
    to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends
    or approval of stock repurchase or redemptions that are prohibited by the
    DGCL. This provision does not limit the directors&#146; responsibilities
    under any other laws, including the federal securities laws or state or federal
    environmental laws. The Registrant maintains liability insurance for its
    officers and directors and has also entered into agreements to indemnify
    its directors and certain officers in substantially the form of that certain
    Form of Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.26 of Registrant&#146;s
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.</font></p>

<HR noshade align=center width=100% size=2><PAGE>
<p align=left><font size=2> 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.</font></p>
<p align=left><font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
    as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted
    to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
    to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the
    Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
    indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed
    by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section
    145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL")
    empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase
    insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status
    as directors and officers, provided that this provision shall not eliminate
    or limit the liability of a director: (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) arising under Section 174 of the DGCL, or
    (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
    benefit. The DGCL provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder
    shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors
    and officers may be entitled under the corporation's bylaws, any agreement,
    a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,
    as amended (the "Certificate") eliminates the personal liability
    of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
    DGCL
    and provides
    that the Registrant shall fully 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)
    by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of
    the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as
    a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
    trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including
    attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
    and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit
    or proceeding.
In accordance
    with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate in effect as of the date hereof,
    provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, the Registrant's
    directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders
    for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as directors of the
    Registrant. Under the DGCL, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant
    which is not eliminated by this provision of the Certificate and, in appropriate
    circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
    relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to
    be subject to liability under the DGCL for breach of the director's
    duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions which are found
    by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or involving
    intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading
    to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends
    or approval of stock repurchase or redemptions that are prohibited by the
    DGCL. This provision does not limit the directors' responsibilities
    under any other laws, including the federal securities laws or state or federal
    environmental laws. The Registrant maintains liability insurance for its
    officers and directors and has also entered into agreements to indemnify
    its directors and certain officers in substantially the form of that certain
    Form of Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.26 of Registrant's
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The above discussion of the DGCL and of the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in
its entirety by such statute, amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements.

      into this Registration Statement;
(2)   that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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 Registrant's Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
B.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 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 into 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 1933 Act may be permitted
    to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
    to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the
    Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
    indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed
    by the final adjudication of such issue.
