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></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font

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 restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, eliminates the personal liability of the directors of the Registrant for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the DGCL does not permit the elimination or limitation of the liability of any director for (i) any breach of the directors' duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful dividends or distributions or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's second amended and restated bylaws permit the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. If it is determined that the conduct of such person meets these standards, such person may be indemnified for expenses incurred and amounts paid in connection with such proceeding if actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
If such a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the Registrant (i.e., a derivative suit), such person may be indemnified against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. There can be no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The Registrant may advance all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an officer or director of the Registrant in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
The indemnification rights and advancement of expenses provided in Section 145 of the DGCL are not exclusive of additional rights to indemnification for breach of fiduciary duties to the Registrant and its stockholders or advancement of expenses to the extent any such additional rights are authorized in the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation, and are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
The Registrant has entered into a separate Indemnification Agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an "Indemnitee"). Under the Indemnification Agreement, each Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in connection with any claims, proceedings or other actions brought against such Indemnitee as a result of
the Indemnitee's service to the Registrant, provided that the Indemnitee (i) acted in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed the action was in the Registrant's best interest; and (iii) in criminal proceedings, reasonably believed his or her conduct was not unlawful. Additionally, the Indemnification Agreement entitles the Indemnitee to contribution of expenses from the Registrant in any proceeding in which the Registrant is jointly liable with such Indemnitee, but for which indemnification is not otherwise available.
The Indemnification Agreement also entitles each Indemnitee to advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in connection with any claim, proceeding or other action in advance of the final adjudication of any such claim, proceeding or other action, provided that the Indemnitee agrees to reimburse the Registrant for all such advances if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to 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;
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 a 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in 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 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 that 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 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)
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 the 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Diego, State of California, on this 27
