<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.15in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Delaware
law 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 our bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise.
Our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, our Certificate
of Incorporation and our Restated Bylaws provide that we may 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 one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents,
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 style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.15in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.15in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
have also entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive
officers, to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the
indemnification provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and Restated
Bylaws. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers. Our Restated
Bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions,
regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We have
obtained liability insurance for our officers and directors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.15in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.15in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director,
officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be required or
permitted under our Certificate of Incorporation. We are not aware of any
threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification.</font></p>

any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual

Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s

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 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Craig
S. Andrews, one of our directors, has been Senior Counsel to the law firm of
DLA Piper LLP (US) since January 2010. 
In connection with this Registration Statement, DLA Piper LLP (US) is
rendering an opinion on the legality of the securities being registered
hereunder.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (our "Certificate of
Incorporation"), provides that, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware
law, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages for any breach
1
of
fiduciary duty by our directors. Under Delaware law, our directors have a
fiduciary duty to us which is not eliminated by this provision in the certificate
and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or
other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available. In addition, each of
our directors will continue to be subject to liability under Delaware law for
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions which are
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for actions
leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited
by Delaware law. This provision does not affect the directors' responsibilities
under any other laws, such as the Federal securities laws or state or Federal
environmental laws.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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
for the following:
·
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to us or our stockholders;
·
acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
·
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemptions; or
·
for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
Delaware
law 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 our bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise.
Our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, our Certificate
of Incorporation and our Restated Bylaws provide that we may 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 one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents,
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.
We
have also entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive
officers, to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the
indemnification provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and Restated
Bylaws. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers. Our Restated
Bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions,
regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We have
obtained liability insurance for our officers and directors.
At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director,
officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be required or
permitted under our Certificate of Incorporation. We are not aware of any
threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

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 of 1933
(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; 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 or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining
liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the
initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned Registrant undertakes
that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to
sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned
Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the
offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or
referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing
prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the
undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant; and
3
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(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 the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
