<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:18.667px; text-indent:48px; font-size:12pt">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that a person sued as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified by the corporation in non-derivative suits for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests. In the case of criminal actions and proceedings, the person also must not have had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification of expenses is also authorized in stockholder derivative actions if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and if he or she has not been found liable to the corporation. Even in this latter instance, the court may determine that, in view of all the circumstances, the person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper. A person sued as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation who has been successful in defense of the action must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses.</P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:18.667px; text-indent:48px; font-size:12pt">Article 5 of our amended and restated bylaws requires us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Article 5 also </P>

<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:18.667px; font-size:12pt; page-break-before:always">requires us to advance the litigation expenses of a director or officer upon receipt of his or her written undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. We have entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers confirming and supplementing these rights to indemnification.</P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:18.667px; text-indent:48px; font-size:12pt">Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty of care. The provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching his or her duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, declaring an illegal dividend or approving an illegal stock repurchase, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. Article 10 of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).</P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:18.667px; text-indent:48px; font-size:12pt">If a director of ours were to breach his or her fiduciary duty of care, neither we nor our stockholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only course of action available to our stockholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind the transaction or event involving the breach of the fiduciary duty of care. To the extent that claims against directors are thereby limited to equitable remedies, this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors for the breach of their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a stockholder&#146;s only remedy is to enjoin the completion of the action in question by the board of directors, this remedy would be ineffective if the stockholder does not become aware of the transaction or event until after its has been completed. In this situation, the stockholder would not have an effective remedy against the directors.</P>

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.</P>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that a person sued as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified by the corporation in non-derivative suits for expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests. In the case of criminal actions and proceedings, the person also must not have had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification of expenses is also authorized in stockholder derivative actions if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and if he or she has not been found liable to the corporation. Even in this latter instance, the court may determine that, in view of all the circumstances, the person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper. A person sued as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation who has been successful in defense of the action must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses.
Article 5 of our amended and restated bylaws requires us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Article 5 also
2
requires us to advance the litigation expenses of a director or officer upon receipt of his or her written undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. We have entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers confirming and supplementing these rights to indemnification.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of the director's fiduciary duty of care. The provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching his or her duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, declaring an illegal dividend or approving an illegal stock repurchase, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. Article 10 of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
If a director of ours were to breach his or her fiduciary duty of care, neither we nor our stockholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only course of action available to our stockholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind the transaction or event involving the breach of the fiduciary duty of care. To the extent that claims against directors are thereby limited to equitable remedies, this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors for the breach of their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a stockholder's only remedy is to enjoin the completion of the action in question by the board of directors, this remedy would be ineffective if the stockholder does not become aware of the transaction or event until after its has been completed. In this situation, the stockholder would not have an effective remedy against the directors.
By reason of directors' and officers' liability insurance that we maintain, our directors and officers are insured against actual liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, for acts or omissions related to the conduct of their duties.

Undertakings
Rule 415 Offering
The registrant hereby undertakes:
3
(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, as amended (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) 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 a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange 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;
and
(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 undertakings (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those undertakings is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 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; and
(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.
Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference
The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act which 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.

Commission Position on Indemnification
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 Delaware General Corporation Law or the registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws or individual indemnification agreements, as described in Item 6, 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.
