  fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal
  proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of our company) brought against him by virtue
  of his position as a director or officer of our company if he acted in good faith and in a manner
  he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of our company, and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
  unlawful and (b)&nbsp;shall be indemnified by our company against all expenses (including attorneys&#146;
  fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of
  our company brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of our company
  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
  best interests of our company, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
  matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court
  determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled
  to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director
  or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
  dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by us against all
  expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced
  to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced
  if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification is required to be made unless we determine that the applicable standard of
  conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event of a determination by us that
  the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required for
  indemnification, or if we fail to make an indemnification payment within 60&nbsp;days after such payment
  is claimed by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
  determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent
  to the right of indemnification, the director or officer must give us notice of the action for
  which indemnity is sought and we have the right to participate in such action or assume the defense
  thereof.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Eighth of our Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the indemnification
  provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General
  Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or officers we must
  indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so amended.
  
  
  <P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that a corporation
  may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons
  serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses
  incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a
  party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any
  criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
  provided that, in the case of actions brought

  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Article SEVENTH of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
  "Certificate of Incorporation") provides that no director of our company shall be personally liable
  for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that
  the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of
  directors for breach of fiduciary duty.
  Article EIGHTH of our Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director or officer of our
  company (a) shall be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
  fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal
  proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of our company) brought against him by virtue
  of his position as a director or officer of our company if he acted in good faith and in a manner
  he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of our company, and, with
  respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
  unlawful and (b) shall be indemnified by our company against all expenses (including attorneys'
  fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of
  our company brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of our company
  if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
  best interests of our company, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
  matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court
  determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled
  to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director
  or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
  dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by us against all
  expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced
  to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced
  if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
  Indemnification is required to be made unless we determine that the applicable standard of
  conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event of a determination by us that
  the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required for
  indemnification, or if we fail to make an indemnification payment within 60 days after such payment
  is claimed by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent
  determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent
  to the right of indemnification, the director or officer must give us notice of the action for
  which indemnity is sought and we have the right to participate in such action or assume the defense
  thereof.
  Article Eighth of our Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the indemnification
  provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General
  Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or officers we must
  indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so amended.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that a corporation
  may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons
  serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses
  incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a
  party by reason of such position, if such person shall have 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, in any
  criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;
  provided that, in the case of actions brought

  by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any
  matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
  only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under
  the circumstances.
  We maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors
  and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as
  directors or officers.

  Item 8. Exhibits.
  The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
  Item 9. Undertakings.
  1.
  Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K
  . 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;
  provided, however,
  that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if 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 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.
  2.
  Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K
  . 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 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.
  3.
  Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K
  . Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
  the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
  registrant pursuant to
  - 3 -
  Table of Contents
  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 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.
