To the extent that a director, officer, employee,  or agent of the corporation has been successful in defending any such proceeding,  the DGCL provides  that he shall be  indemnified  against  expenses (including attorneys&#146;  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in connection therewith.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>With respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the  corporation,  such person may be indemnified  against  expenses  (including  attorney&#146;s fees) 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. The statute provides, however, that no  indemnification  is  allowed  in such a  proceeding  if such  person is adjudged  liable to the  corporation  unless,  and only to the extent that,  the court may, upon  application,  determine that he is entitled to  indemnification under the circumstances. With respect to proceedings other than those brought by or in the right of the  corporation,  such  person  may be  indemnified  against judgments,  fines,  and amounts paid in settlement,  as well as expenses,  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,  had no reasonable  cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, notwithstanding the outcome of the proceeding. Except with respect to mandatory indemnification  of  expenses  to  successful  defendants  as  described  in the preceding paragraph or pursuant to a court order, the indemnification  described in this paragraph may be made only upon a determination in each specific case by majority vote of directors not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum, by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, by written opinion of independent legal counsel, or by the stockholders, that the defendant met the applicable standard of conduct described above.</font></p>

A  corporation  may purchase  insurance on behalf of an indemnitee  against any  liability  asserted against him in his designated  capacity,  whether or not the corporation  itself would be empowered to indemnify him against such liability.</font></p>

Under the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation, a director of the Registrant shall, to the maximum extent currently or hereafter permitted by section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL (or any successor  provision) have no personal  liability to the Registrant or its stockholders. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL  provides  that  Delaware  corporations  may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,  (iii)under

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section  145 of the  Delaware General  Corporation  Law,  as amended  (the "DGCL"), permits, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of any person with  respect  to  any  threatened,  pending,  or  completed  action,  suit,  or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative, or investigative, to which such person was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,  officer,  employee, or agent of the corporation or was serving in a similar  capacity for another  enterprise at the  request  of the  corporation. To the extent that a director, officer, employee,  or agent of the corporation has been successful in defending any such proceeding,  the DGCL provides  that he shall be  indemnified  against  expenses (including attorneys'  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in connection therewith.
With respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the  corporation,  such person may be indemnified  against  expenses  (including  attorney's fees) 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. The statute provides, however, that no  indemnification  is  allowed  in such a  proceeding  if such  person is adjudged  liable to the  corporation  unless,  and only to the extent that,  the court may, upon  application,  determine that he is entitled to  indemnification under the circumstances. With respect to proceedings other than those brought by or in the right of the  corporation,  such  person  may be  indemnified  against judgments,  fines,  and amounts paid in settlement,  as well as expenses,  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,  had no reasonable  cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, notwithstanding the outcome of the proceeding. Except with respect to mandatory indemnification  of  expenses  to  successful  defendants  as  described  in the preceding paragraph or pursuant to a court order, the indemnification  described in this paragraph may be made only upon a determination in each specific case by majority vote of directors not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum, by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, by written opinion of independent legal counsel, or by the stockholders, that the defendant met the applicable standard of conduct described above.
The DGCL permits a corporation to advance expenses  incurred by a proposed indemnitee  in advance  of final  disposition  of the  proceeding  provided  the indemnitee  undertakes  to repay  such  advanced  expenses  if it is  ultimately determined  that  he is not  entitled  to  indemnification. A  corporation  may purchase  insurance on behalf of an indemnitee  against any  liability  asserted against him in his designated  capacity,  whether or not the corporation  itself would be empowered to indemnify him against such liability.
Delaware  law also  provides  that the  above  rights  shall  not be deemed exclusive of other rights of  indemnification  or  advancement of expenses under any by-law,  agreement,  vote of stockholders  or  disinterested  directors,  or otherwise. The Registrant's  Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws generally require the  Registrant to indemnify  and advance  expenses to its directors and its officers (and permit the Registrant to indemnify and advance expenses to its employees and agents) to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section  102(b)(7)  of the  DGCL  permits  Delaware  corporations  in their certificates of  incorporation  to eliminate or limit the personal  liability of directors  to the  corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages for breaches of certain duties. Under the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, a director of the Registrant shall, to the maximum extent currently or hereafter permitted by section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL (or any successor  provision) have no personal  liability to the Registrant or its stockholders. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL  provides  that  Delaware  corporations  may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,  (iii)under
Section 174 of the DGCL (involving  certain  unlawful  dividends and stock purchases or  redemptions),  or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The  Registrant  may  maintain  insurance  covering  the  liability  of the Registrant to its directors and officers  under the terms and  provisions of the By-Laws of the  Registrant and covering its directors and officers for liability incurred in their capacities as such directors and officers.
Under Section 13 of the Plan, no member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made with respect to the Plan or any award thereunder. The Registrant shall indemnify all members of the Board to the extent permitted by law, from and against any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act, or omission to act, in connection with the performance of such persons' duties, responsibilities, and obligations under the Plan.
On November 11, 2005, the Board approved a Form of Indemnification Agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") to be provided by the Company to its directors. On November 11, 2005 the Company entered into Indemnification Agreements with its current directors, in the form approved by the Board. The Indemnification Agreement provides for the maximum indemnity permitted for directors under the DGCL and the Registrant's charter documents, as well as additional procedural protections. The Indemnification Agreement requires the Registrant to indemnify the directors against liability that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors of the Registrant  if the director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Index to Exhibits immediately  preceding the exhibits is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
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. 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% 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;
(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 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 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.
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 Corona, the State of California, on January 31, 2006.
