The foregoing items, except for the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee, are estimated. ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Registrant; the Bylaws of the Registrant; Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; which, among other things, and subject to certain conditions, authorize the Registrant to indemnify, or indemnify by their terms, as the case may be, the directors and officers of the Registrant against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer. Pursuant to this authority, the Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each director and executive officer, whereby the Registrant has agreed to cover the indemnification obligations. The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' insurance providing indemnification against certain liabilities for certain of the Registrant's directors, officers, affiliates, partners or employees. The indemnification provisions in the Registrant's Bylaws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Act. Reference is made to the following documents incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement regarding relevant indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein: (1) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed as Exhibit 3.1B to Registrant's Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 1999; (2) the Registrant's Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, and (3) the form of Indemnification Agreement entered into by the Registrant with each of its directors and executive officers filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 1999, each incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS 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 provisions described in Item 15 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. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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 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 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; 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. 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 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. II-2 The undersigned Registrant undertakes that: (1) for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
