<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, provides that a
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made,
parties 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 such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are threatened to be made, a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation by reasons of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity
may include expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests, provided that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee or agent is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director
has actually and reasonably incurred. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further authorizes a corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity,
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
bylaws, as amended, provide mandatory indemnification for the benefit of our directors and
officers; <I>provided, however</I>, that with the exception of proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, such indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated
by any such officer or director is only available if such proceeding is authorized by our
Board of Directors. Our bylaws also provide for discretionary indemnification, to the
extent authorized by our Board of Directors, for the benefit of our employees and agents,
in each instance to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as it may be amended
from time to time. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors or officers or persons controlling us pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.<B> </B>We provide directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance coverage for our directors and officers. </FONT></P>

documents we filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
after the date of filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Securities.

Item 5.    Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.     Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
We
are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, provides that a
Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made,
parties 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 such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director,
employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise. The indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are threatened to be made, a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation by reasons of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity
may include expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided
such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the corporation's best interests, provided that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee or agent is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the
corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director
has actually and reasonably incurred.
II-2
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further authorizes a corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity,
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise
have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.
Our
restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, none of our directors will be personally liable to us or our stockholders
for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Our
bylaws, as amended, provide mandatory indemnification for the benefit of our directors and
officers;
provided, however
, that with the exception of proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification, such indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated
by any such officer or director is only available if such proceeding is authorized by our
Board of Directors. Our bylaws also provide for discretionary indemnification, to the
extent authorized by our Board of Directors, for the benefit of our employees and agents,
in each instance to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as it may be amended
from time to time. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors or officers or persons controlling us pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.
We provide directors' and officers' liability
insurance coverage for our directors and officers.

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 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; 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;
II-4
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 herein, 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           (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 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.
