Item 4. Description of Securities.

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 (the “DGCL”) sets forth the conditions and limitations governing the indemnification of officers, directors and other persons. Section 145 provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated 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 was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity with another corporation or other entity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection therewith if he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation, indemnity may be provided to the foregoing persons under Section 145 on a basis similar to that set forth above, except that no indemnity may be provided in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought determines that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case such person is entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Moreover, Section 145 provides for mandatory indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the extent that such person has been successful in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and provides that a corporation may pay the expenses of an officer or director in defending an action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. Section 145 establishes provisions for determining that a given person is entitled to indemnification, and also provides that the indemnification provided by or granted under Section 145 is not exclusive of any rights to indemnity or advancement of expenses to which such person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Article V of the Registrant’s By-laws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another entity, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties or amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. In addition, provisions of Article V of the Registrant’s By-laws provide for the advancement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a director or officer of the Registrant in defending any proceeding for which indemnification is provided under Article V upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant as authorized in Article V. In addition, Article V permits the Registrant to maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any of its directors or officers or individuals serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another entity, against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

II-2

Section 102(b) of the DGCL permits corporations to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the director’s duty of care. Accordingly, Article VII of the Registrant’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article VII of the Registrant’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation further provides that any repeal, amendment or other modification of Article VII will not affect the liability or alleged liability of any director of the corporation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

In addition to the foregoing, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its executive officers and directors. The indemnity agreements provide that such persons will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid or incurred by them for settlement in any action or proceeding on account of their service as a director or officer of the Registrant or of any subsidiary of the Registrant or of any other entity in which they are serving at the request of the Registrant. The agreements bind the registrant to provide indemnification to directors and officers whether or not the Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance coverage and regardless of any future changes in the By-laws. The protection to be afforded directors and officers by the agreements is broader than that provided under the indemnification provisions contained in the By-laws, in that the agreements expressly provide for the advancement of expenses and for indemnification with respect to amounts paid in settlements of derivative actions.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in this Registration Statement;

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required in a post-effective amendment is incorporated by reference from periodic reports filed by the Registrant under the Exchange Act.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

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 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.

(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 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.
