Ladies and Gentlemen:

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell up to an aggregate of shares of its authorized but unissued common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), to the Underwriters (as hereinafter defined) (said shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold by the Company being herein called the "Underwritten Stock"). The Company has also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of additional shares of Common Stock (the "Option Stock," and the Option Stock together with the Underwritten Stock being hereinafter referred to as the "Shares"). The Common Stock is more fully described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus hereinafter mentioned.

The Company hereby confirm the agreements made with respect to the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters, named in Schedule 1 hereto (herein collectively called the "Underwriters," which term shall also include any underwriter purchasing Shares pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof).

1. Registration Statement. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333- ), including the related preliminary prospectus, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the Shares. Copies of such registration statement and of each amendment thereto, if any, including the related preliminary prospectus (meeting the requirements of Rule 430A of the rules and regulations of the Commission) heretofore filed by the Company with the Commission have been delivered to you.

(1): Plus an option to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of 225,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments.

(a) The term "Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement shall mean such registration statement, including all exhibits and financial statements, all information omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the Prospectus referred to below, in the form in which it became effective, and any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the Shares (herein called a "Rule 462(b) registration statement"), and, in the event of any amendment thereto after the effective date of such registration statement (the "Effective Date"), shall also mean (from and after the effectiveness of such amendment) such registration statement as so amended (including any Rule 462(b) registration statement). The term "Prospectus" as used in this Agreement shall mean the prospectus relating to the Shares first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A (or if no such filing is required, as included in the Registration Statement) and, in the event of any supplement or amendment to such prospectus after the Effective Date, shall also mean (from and after the filing with the Commission of such supplement or the effectiveness of such amendment) such prospectus as so supplemented or amended. The term "Preliminary Prospectus" as used in this Agreement shall mean each preliminary prospectus included in such registration statement prior to the time it becomes effective.

(b) The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, and no post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed as of the date of this Agreement. The Company has caused to be delivered to you copies of each Preliminary Prospectus and has consented to the use of such copies for the purposes permitted by the Securities Act.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Underwriters as follows:

(a) Neither the Commission nor any state securities commission has issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or has instituted or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened to institute any proceedings with respect to such an order. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply, and on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and any later date on which the Option Stock is to be purchased, the Prospectus will comply, in all material respects, with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the "Securities Act and Rules"). On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and on the Effective Date the Prospectus did not, and on the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that none of the representations and warranties in this subparagraph 2(a) shall apply to statements in, or omissions from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information herein or otherwise furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(b) The Company (i) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, as the case may be, having full power and corporate authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus; and (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification necessary (except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition and results of operations of the Company). The Company has no subsidiaries and does not own any capital stock or other equity securities in any other entity, except for instruments or interests held by the Company solely for investment.

(c) The outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and are fully paid and nonassessable and, except as otherwise described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Registration Statement, were issued in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights. Except as created hereby or otherwise described in the Prospectus, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights or other arrangements requiring the Company at any time to issue any capital stock. No holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are entitled as such to any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for any of the Shares to be sold by the Company, and neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights, other than those that have lapsed or have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to, the registration of any securities of the Company. The Shares to be sold by the Company are duly authorized, and will be, when sold to the Underwriters as provided herein, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and conform to the description thereof contained in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Description of Capital Stock." No further approval or authority of the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company will be required for the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company as contemplated herein.

(d) The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions provided for herein. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming it is a binding agreement of the Underwriters, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and the application of equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies and except as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws), and none of the Company's execution or delivery of this Agreement, its performance hereunder, its consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, its application of the net proceeds of the offering in the manner set forth under the caption "Use of Proceeds" or the conduct of its business as described in the Prospectus, conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in any breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitutes or will constitute a default under, causes or will cause (or permits or will permit) the maturation or acceleration of any liability or obligation or the termination of any right under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon, any property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, stockholders' agreement, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which its respective property is subject; or (iii) any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company of any government, arbitrator, court, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its activities or properties, which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business or properties of the Company.

(e) The Common Stock has been approved for quotation on The Nasdaq National Market and, prior to the Closing Date, (i) the Common Stock shall be listed and duly admitted to trading on The Nasdaq National Market and (ii) the Shares will be authorized for inclusion in The Nasdaq National Market.

(f) The financial statements of the Company and the related notes and schedules thereto included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus fairly present the financial position,

results of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods specified therein. Such financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise noted therein) and all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods have been made; provided, however, that the unaudited financial statements are subject to normal year-end audit adjustments (which are not expected to be material) and do not contain all footnotes required under generally accepted accounting principles. The summary and selected financial and statistical data included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein and such data have been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements contained therein and in the books and records of the Company.

(g) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified our consolidated balance sheets, related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and our results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2002, filed with the Commission as part of the Registration Statement, have represented to the Company that they are independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. All auditing services and non-audit services, other than de minimus services, provided to the Company by Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP since July 30, 2002, have been preapproved by the audit committee of the Company's board of directors in accordance with Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

(h) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company's principal executive officer and the Company's principal financial officer or persons with similar functions.

(i) The Company has filed all necessary federal, state and local income, franchise and other material tax returns and has paid all taxes shown as due thereunder, and the Company has no tax deficiency that has been or, to their knowledge, that might be assessed against the Company that, if so assessed, would materially and adversely affect the business or properties of the Company. All tax liabilities accrued through the date hereof have been adequately provided for on the books of the Company.

(j) The Company maintains insurance underwritten by insurers of recognized financial responsibility of the types and in amounts and with such deductibles as customary for companies in the same or similar business, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.

(k) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened against the Company before or by any court, regulatory body or administrative agency or any other governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, that (i) questions the validity of the capital stock of the Company or this Agreement or adversely affects any action taken or required to be taken by the Company in order to perform its material obligations under this Agreement; (ii) is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, which is not so disclosed (and such proceedings, if any, as are summarized

in the Registration Statement are accurately summarized in all material respects); or (iii) may have a material adverse affect upon the business operations, financial condition or income of the Company.

(l) All executed agreements or copies of executed agreements filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable by and against it in accordance with their respective terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and general equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws). The descriptions in the Registration Statement of contracts and other documents are accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown with respect thereto by the Securities Act and Rules. There are no contracts or other documents that are required by the Securities Act or Rules to be described in the Registration Statement or filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed as required. The exhibits that have been filed are complete and correct copies of the documents of which they purport to be copies. Except for such rights as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, no party has any right to require the Company to register any securities for sale under the Securities Act.

(m) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and except as expressly contemplated therein, the Company has not incurred, other than in the ordinary course of its business, any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, purchased any of its outstanding capital stock, paid or declared any dividends or other distributions on its capital stock or entered into any material transactions, and there has been no material change in capital stock or debt or any material adverse change in the business, properties, assets, net worth, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

(n) The Company is not, nor with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both will it be, in violation of or in default under, any term or provision of (i) its certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, stockholders' agreement, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property is subject, or any indebtedness, the effect of which breach or default singly or in the aggregate may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company; or (iii) to the Company's knowledge, any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or of any arbitrator, court, regulatory body, administrative agency or any other governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its activities or properties and the effect of which violation or default singly or in the aggregate may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company.

(o) The Company has not incurred any liability for a fee, commission, or other compensation on account of the employment of a broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than as contemplated hereby.

and other unpatented or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other intellectual property rights (collectively, the "Rights") necessary for the conduct of its business as described in the Prospectus. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, to the Company's knowledge, no claims have been asserted against the Company by any person with respect to the use of any such Rights or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Rights. The continued use of the Rights in connection with the business and operations of the Company does not, to the knowledge of the Company, infringe on the rights of any person, which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or filing, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or properties of the Company.

(r) To the Company's knowledge, the Company is conducting its businesses in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, except (i) where the failure to be so in compliance would not materially and adversely affect the business or properties of the Company or (ii) as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus. Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation, declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated (except such additional steps as may be required by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or to qualify or exempt the Shares for public offering by the Underwriters under state securities or Blue Sky laws) has been obtained or made and is in full force and effect.

(s) Neither the Company, nor, to the Company's knowledge, any of its officers, directors or affiliates (within the meaning of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act), has taken or may take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise.

(t) The Company is not, nor after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company will it be, an "investment company" within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

(u) There are no transfer taxes or similar fees or charges under federal law or the laws of any state, or any political subdivision thereof, required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares to be sold by the Company.

(v) The Company has good and marketable title to all properties and assets described in the Prospectus as owned by it, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, equities, claims and defects, except such as are described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, or such as are not materially important in relation to the business of the Company. The Company has valid and enforceable leases for the properties described in the Prospectus as leased by it, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, equities, claims and defects, except such as are not material and do not interfere with the use made by the Company thereof and except as disclosed in the Prospectus. The Company owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to its operations as now conducted, as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the properties and businesses of the Company conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(w) To the Company's knowledge, the Company holds all franchises, licenses, permits, approvals, certificates and other authorizations from federal, state and other governmental or regulatory authorities necessary to the ownership, leasing and operation of its properties or required for the present conduct of its business, and such franchises, licenses, permits, approvals, certificates and other governmental authorizations are in full force and effect and the Company is in compliance therewith in all material respects, except where the failure so to hold, obtain, maintain or comply with would not be reasonably expected to have a materially adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

(x) To the Company's knowledge, the Company is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (herein called "ERISA"); no "reportable event" (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any "pension plan" (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company would have any liability; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "pension plan"; or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the "Code"); and each "Pension Plan" for which the Company would have liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(y) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company, on the one hand, and the current or prior directors, officers, stockholders, customers or suppliers of the Company, on the other hand, which is required to be described in the Prospectus that is not so described.

(cc) Neither the Company nor, to the Company's knowledge, any officer or employee of the Company is a party to any contract or commitment that restricts in any material respect the ability of the Company or such individual to engage in the business of the Company or such subsidiary as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

3. Purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters.

(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company shall sell the Underwritten Stock to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree to purchase from the Company, the Underwritten Stock. The price at which such shares of Underwritten Stock shall be sold by the Company and purchased by the Underwriters shall be $ per share (the "Purchase Price"). In making this Agreement, each Underwriter is contracting severally and not jointly; except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 3, the agreement of each Underwriter is to purchase only the respective number of shares of the Underwritten Stock specified on Schedule 1.

(b) If for any reason any of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse (other than for a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 7 or 12 hereof) to purchase and pay for the portion of the Shares agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours after the receipt of notice of such failure or refusal to so purchase, to purchase or procure one or more other Underwriters to purchase, in such proportions as may be agreed upon by such purchasing Underwriter or Underwriters and upon the terms herein set forth, all or any part of the Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase. If the non-defaulting Underwriter fails so to make such arrangements with respect to all such Shares, the number of Shares that the non-defaulting Underwriter is otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement shall be automatically increased on a pro rata basis to absorb the remaining Shares that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase the Shares that the defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase if the aggregate number of such Shares exceeds 10% of the total number of Shares that the Underwriters agreed to purchase under this Agreement. If the total number of Shares that the defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase shall not be purchased or absorbed in accordance with the two preceding sentences, the Company shall have the right, within 24 hours next succeeding the 24-hour period referred to above, to make arrangements with other Underwriters or purchasers satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters for purchase of such Shares on the terms herein set forth. In any such case, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date determined as provided in Section 5 hereof for not more than seven business days after the date originally fixed as the Closing Date pursuant to said Section 5 in order that any necessary changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be made. If the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters do not make arrangements within the 24-hour periods stated above for the purchase of all the Shares that the defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall be terminated without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Company to the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and without any liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters to the Company. Nothing in this paragraph (b),

and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve the defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

(c) On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company grants an option to the Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, the Option Stock at the Purchase Price. Said option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Underwritten Stock by the Underwriters and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time (but not more than once) on or before the 30th day after the date of this agreement upon written or electronic notice by the Underwriters to the Company setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option. Delivery of the certificates for the shares of Option Stock, and payment therefor shall be made as provided in Section 5 hereof. The number of shares of the Option Stock to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be in such amounts as the Underwriters shall agree upon prior to the exercise of the option set forth hereunder.

4. Offering by the Underwriters.

(a) The terms of the initial public offering by the Underwriters of the Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be as set forth in the Prospectus. The Underwriters may from time to time change the public offering price after the closing of the initial public offering and increase or decrease the concessions and discounts to dealers as the Underwriters may determine.

(b) The information set forth under the caption "Plan of Distribution" in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus relating to the Shares filed by the Company (insofar as such information relates to the Underwriters or related persons) constitutes the only information furnished by the Underwriters to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, and you represent and warrant to the Company that the statements made therein (insofar as they relate to the Underwriters or related persons) are correct and do not omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

5. Delivery of and Payment for the Shares.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 9, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters (and any person participating in the distribution who is deemed to be an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) and each person (including each member or officer thereof), if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against

any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (and actions in respect thereof), to which such indemnified parties or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, and the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters and each such officer, director and controlling person for any legal or other expenses (including, except as otherwise hereinafter provided, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the respective indemnified parties in connection with defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or in connection with any investigation or inquiry of, or other proceeding that may be brought against, the respective indemnified parties, in each case arising out of or that are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as part thereof and any Rule 462(b) registration statement) or any post-effective amendment thereto (including any Rule 462(b) registration statement) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or as supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement of the Company contained in this paragraph (a) shall not apply to any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto and (ii) the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph (a) with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or such persons) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action purchased Shares that are the subject thereof to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action (A) results from the fact that such Underwriter failed to send or give a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such person at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Shares to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act and (B) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such Preliminary Prospectus that was corrected in the Prospectus (as amended and supplemented), unless such failure resulted from non-compliance by the Company with paragraph (c) of Section 6 hereof. The indemnity agreements of the Company contained in this paragraph (a) and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2 hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the delivery and payment for the Shares.

(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 9, each Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the other Underwriter or Underwriters against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such indemnified parties or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise and to reimburse each of them for any legal or other expenses (including, except as otherwise hereinafter provided, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the respective indemnified parties in connection with defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with any investigation or inquiry of, or other proceeding that may be brought against, the respective indemnified parties, in each case arising out of or are

based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as part thereof and any Rule 462(b) registration statement) or any post-effective amendment thereto (including any Rule 462(b) registration statement) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or as supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing by or on behalf of such indemnifying Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will reimburse, as incurred, all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The indemnity agreement of each Underwriter contained in this paragraph (b) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the delivery and payment for the Shares.

(c) Each party indemnified under the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 agrees that, upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action or suit instituted against it or upon its receipt of written notification of the commencement of any investigation or inquiry of, or proceeding against it, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement contained in such paragraphs, such indemnified party will promptly notify any party or parties from whom indemnification may be sought hereunder of the commencement thereof in writing. No indemnification provided for in such paragraphs shall be available to any party who shall fail so to give such notice if the party to whom such notice was not given was unaware of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give the notice, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such service or notification shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability that it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement. Any indemnifying party or parties against which a claim is to be made will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such action, suit, investigation or inquiry of, an indemnified party. Any indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from the indemnified party or parties of an action, suit, investigation or inquiry to which indemnity may be sought, to assume the entire defense thereof (alone or in conjunction with any other indemnifying party or parties), at its own expense, in which case such defense shall be conducted by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnified party or parties has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party or parties and of the indemnified party or parties in conducting the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party or parties different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party or parties, then counsel for the indemnified party or parties shall be entitled to conduct such defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party or parties; and (ii) in any event, the indemnified party or parties shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party or parties participate in, but not conduct, the defense. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of

such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses (other than the reasonable costs of investigation) subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party has employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of different or additional legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence; or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. If no such notice to assume the defense of such action has been given within a reasonable time of the indemnified party's or parties' notice to such indemnifying party or parties, the indemnifying party or parties shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party or parties in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by each of the contributing parties from the offering of the Shares; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each of the contributing parties, on the one hand, and the party to be indemnified, on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (after deducting the underwriting discount but before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by each indemnifying party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable consideration referred to above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares purchased by the Underwriters hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Each party entitled to contribution agrees that upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action instituted against it in respect to which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), it will promptly notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party

or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise (except as specifically provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9). The contribution agreement set forth above shall be in addition to any liabilities that any indemnifying party may have at common law or otherwise.

(e) No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnified party or any person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party and each such controlling person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

10. Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. In addition to its other obligations under Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse on a quarterly basis the Underwriters for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement or omission, described in paragraph (a) of Section 9 of this Agreement, notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the obligations under this Section 10 and the possibility that such payments might later be held to be improper; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that any such payment is ultimately held to be improper, the Underwriters shall promptly refund it; and (ii) the Underwriters shall provide to the Company, upon request, reasonable assurances of their ability to effect any refund, when and if due.

11. Representations, etc. to Survive Delivery.

Exhibit A

Form of Opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
Professional Corporation on Behalf of the Company

(a) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority (corporate and other) to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification (except for those jurisdictions in which the failure so to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company).

(b) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, of which there are no outstanding shares, and 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, of which there are outstanding shares (including the Underwritten Stock and any shares of Option Stock issued on the date hereof). The shares of Common Stock of the Company conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Description of Capital Stock." All outstanding shares of such capital stock (including the Underwritten Stock and any shares of Option Stock issued on the date hereof) have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and are, to the knowledge of such counsel, fully paid and nonassessable. To the extent that any Option Stock is being issued concurrent with the delivery of this opinion, such Option Stock, when issued and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, will have been duly and validly issued and be fully paid and nonassesable. The stockholders of the Company have no preemptive rights or rights of first refusal with respect to the issuance and the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and to the knowledge of such counsel there are no written contractual preemptive rights, right of first refusal or rights of co-sale that exist with respect to the Shares to be sold by the Company that have not been waived or otherwise satisfied.

(d) To the knowledge of such counsel, and except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or otherwise expressly waived in writing, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(e) The Company has corporate power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Shares to be sold by the Company as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(f) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, nor the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company results in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitutes a default under, any statute, rule or regulation known to such counsel to be customarily applicable to transactions of this nature; any order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company, any certificate, agreement, plan or other document filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

(g) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, domestic regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental agency or body is required for the consummation of

the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the bylaws or rules of the NASD or may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters and except any consents approvals, authorizations or order of, or filing with, any foreign securities or regulatory authority for which such counsel offers no opinion.

(h) The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act; and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act on ; and to such counsel's knowledge no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been issued, and to such counsel's knowledge no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of such counsel, are threatened or contemplated by the Commission.

(i) Such counsel knows of no contracts, leases, agreements or other documents to which the Company is a party of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which are not filed as required.

(j) The descriptions in the Prospectus under the captions "Description of Capital Stock," and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" (in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein) fairly present the information required under the Securities Act and Rules with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein to the extent required by the Securities Act and Rules at the time the Registration Statement became effective.

(k) The Company is not an "investment company" within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

(l) Such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings that are required to be described in the Registration Statement that are not described as required.

(m) The Nasdaq National Market shall have approved the Stock for listing, subject only to official notice of issuance.

In addition, such counsel shall state that in the course of the preparation of the Registration Statement, such counsel has participated in conferences with certain officers and representatives of the Company, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ + Co., LLC, counsel for the Underwriters and the independent certified public accountants of the Company, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Without taking any further action to verify independently the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and without assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus except for those referred to in paragraph (j) above, no facts have come to such counsel's attention that have caused such counsel to believe that (i) as of the effective date and as of the date hereof, the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (other than the financial statements and related schedules included therein, and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which such counsel expresses no belief) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (ii) as of its issue date or as of the date hereof, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and related schedules included therein, and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which such counsel expresses no belief) contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,

not misleading. In addition, such counsel shall confirm that each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and related schedules included therein, and the financial and statistical data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which such counsel expresses no belief), as of their respective effective or issue dates, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirement of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.
