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 (other than an action by or in the right of such
corporation) by reason of the fact that any such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director 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
(including attorneys&#146; fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL. </FONT></P><P

COLOR="#000000">(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan or the
ESPP Plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Computed in accordance with Rules 457(h) and 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933. Such computation is based on the weighted average exercise price of $11.54 per
share covering 54,032 outstanding options and the estimated exercise price of $11.57 per share covering 9,945,968 authorized but unissued shares. The estimated exercise price of $11.57 was computed in accordance with Rule 457 by averaging the high
and low prices of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 30, 2003.
(3)
Includes an automatic annual increase of 644,518 shares on August 24, 2002 to the number of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the ESPP Plans, which annual increase is provided for in the ESPP Plans.
(4)
Computed in accordance with Rules 457(h) and 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933. The estimated exercise price of $9.83 was computed in accordance with Rule 457
by taking 85% of the price obtained by averaging the high and low prices of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 30, 2003.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "
DGCL
") provides that a Delaware corporation may 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 (other than an action by or in the right of such
corporation) by reason of the fact that any such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director 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
(including attorneys' fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.
Section 102 of the DGCL allows a Delaware corporation to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damage for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director (i) breaches such person's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) fails to act in good faith, engages in intentional misconduct or knowingly violates a law, (iii) authorizes the payment of a dividend or approves a stock purchase or redemption in violation of
Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) obtains an improper personal benefit.
In accordance with the DGCL, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision to limit the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL now, or as it may hereafter be amended.
In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that (i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers and persons serving in such capacities in other
business enterprises at the Registrant's request, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law; (ii) the Registrant may indemnify its employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law; (iii) the Registrant is required to
advance expenses incurred by its directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding (except that a director or officer must undertake to repay any advances if it should ultimately be determined that the director or officer is not
entitled to indemnification); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive; and (v) the Registrant may not retroactively amend the Bylaw provisions in a way that adversely affects any director or officer.
-2-
The Registrant
maintains insurance covering its directors and officers against certain liabilities incurred by them in their capacities as such, including among other things, certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Registrant has entered into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and officers by the DGCL and the Registrant's Bylaws.

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;
(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 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 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
-3-
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
