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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides for indemnification of our directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.  We maintain liability insurance protecting us, as well as our directors and officers, against liability by reason of their being or having been directors or officers.
 
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval



of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires us 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 (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Except for claims for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses not paid in full, however, we are not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorized in the specific case by our board of directors.
 
Article XI of our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law.
 
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers under which we have indemnified each of them against expenses and losses incurred for claims brought against them by reason of their being one of our directors or officers, and we maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
