determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;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&#146;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 thereof.</font></p>

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.&#160; 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.</font></p>

statement.
Item 4. 
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. 
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to the
full extent authorized or permitted by law (as now or hereafter in effect) any
person made, or threatened to be made, a defendant or witness to any action,
suit or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the
fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant or by reason of the fact that such director or officer, at the
request of the Registrant, is or was serving any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
in any capacity.  The Registrant's Fourth
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws further provide
that a director of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation (or a person who 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) against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he 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. In the case of an
action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a
person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
3
venture,
trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, except that no indemnification may 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 a court finds that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
The Registrant maintains officer's and director's liability
insurance policies insuring its officers and directors against certain
liabilities and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as such, and
insuring the Registrant under certain circumstances, in the event that
indemnification payments are made to such officers and directors.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law enables a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a
director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no provision can eliminate or limit a
director's liability:
·
for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
·
for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
·
under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, which imposes liability on directors for unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or
·
for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
Article Eighth of the Registrant's Fourth Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of
the registrant to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
The foregoing summaries are
necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, the Registrant's
Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the
arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference
thereto.

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;
(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 Securities and Exchange
Commission (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) 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 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.
5
(b)   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 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 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.
