Item 4. Description of Securities.
-------------------------
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
--------------------------------------
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
Limitation of Liability of Directors
The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no director of the Company
will be personally liable to the Company or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section
174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
The above provision is intended to afford
directors additional protection and limit their
potential liability from suits alleging a breach of the
duty of care by a director. As a result of the
inclusion of such a provision, stockholders may be
unable to recover monetary damages against directors
for actions taken by them that constitute negligence or
gross negligence or that are otherwise in violation of
their fiduciary duty of care, although it may be
possible to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief
with respect to such actions. If equitable remedies
are found not to be available to stockholders in any
particular situation, stockholders may not have an
effective remedy against a director in connection with
such conduct.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that directors and officers of
the Company shall be indemnified against liabilities
arising from their service as directors and officers to
the full extent permitted by law.
Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a
corporation to 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 the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
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, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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 or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 also empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the 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 against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
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 except that no such
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and
only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the
extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith;
that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the
corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the
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 against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether
or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.
The Company has purchased directors' and
officers' liability insurance covering certain
liabilities incurred by its directors and officers in
connection with the performance of their duties.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.

Exhibit No. Description
---------- -----------
23 Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP
24 Power of Attorney (included on the
signature page of the Registration
Statement)
Registrant undertakes to have the Plan, as
amended, submitted to the Internal Revenue Service in a
timely manner and to make all changes required by the
Internal Revenue Service in order to maintain the
qualification of the Plan under Section 401 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Item 9. Undertakings.
------------
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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
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%
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 registration statement
is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
