Item 4. Description of Securities.
II-1
<PAGE>
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
Further, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of
the Company to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of such director's fiduciary duties in certain instances. The Restated
Bylaws of the Company (the "Restated Bylaws") provide for indemnification of
certain agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Persons covered by this indemnification include any current or
former directors and officers of the Company, as well as persons who serve at
the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of
another enterprise. In addition, the Company has entered into contractual
agreements with each director and certain officers of the Company, designated by
the Company's board, to indemnify such individuals to the full extent permitted
by law. These agreements also resolve certain procedural and substantive matters
that are not covered, or are covered in less detail, in the Restated Bylaws or
by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company also currently maintains
officer and director liability insurance.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

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 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; 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.
(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 into 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 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.
