<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7)&nbsp;of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
DGCL, as amended, allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of
loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper
personal benefit. &nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such a person in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which
such a person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, subject to certain limitations.
&nbsp;The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which
those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. &nbsp;Article&nbsp;Eight
of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. &nbsp;The Registrant has also
entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
officers, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.16 to the
Registrant&#146;s Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-1 (File
No.&nbsp;333-121947), which may be broader than the specific indemnification
provisions contained in Delaware law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant
maintains standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1)&nbsp;to its
directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach
of duty or other wrongful act, and (2)&nbsp;to it with respect to
indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.</font></p>

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.&#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>

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior

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 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
DGCL, as amended, allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable
to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of
loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or
knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper
personal benefit.  The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify
directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such a person in connection with
any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which
such a person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, subject to certain limitations.
 The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which
those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  Article Eight
of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.  The Registrant has also
entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
officers, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.16 to the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-121947), which may be broader than the specific indemnification
provisions contained in Delaware law.
The Registrant
maintains standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to its
directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach
of duty or other wrongful act, and (2) to it with respect to
indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

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:
II-
3
(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 thereto) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
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 information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
(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 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.
