Item 4. Description of Securities

     Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     James Etheridge is a Vice President and is the General Counsel of the Registrant. Mr. Etheridge receives compensation (including stock options and rights to purchase shares of the Registrant’s common stock under the Registrant’s employee stock purchase plan) in the ordinary course of business.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify any persons by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant, 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 or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that if an action or suit is by or in the right of the Registrant against such director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant and such person is adjudged to be liable to the Registrant then the Registrant shall only indemnify such person to the extent that the court in which such action or suit is brought shall have determined that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

     Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

Item 9. Undertakings

     1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) 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.

(b) 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) 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. 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 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to

Section 15(d) of the Securities 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. 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.
