IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY ITEC SHARES. EXCEPT FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND IN OUR SEC REPORTS ARE "FORWARD-LOOKING" STATEMENTS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED OR IMPLIED IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW ADDRESS SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SECURE FUTURE CAPITAL, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS. If we are unable to secure future capital, we will be unable to continue our operations. Our business has not been profitable in the past and it may not be profitable in the future. We may incur losses on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, some within and others outside our control. See "Potential Fluctuation in Our Quarterly Performance." The growth of our business will require the commitment of substantial capital resources. If funds are not available from operations, we will need additional funds. We may seek such additional funding through public and private financing, including debt or equity financing. Adequate funds for these purposes, whether through financial markets or from other sources, may not be available when we need them. Even if funds are available, the terms under which the funds are available to us may not be acceptable to us. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our planned activities. IF OUR QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE, IT MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS. Our quarterly operating results can fluctuate significantly depending on a number of factors, any one of which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. The factors include: o the timing of product announcements and subsequent introductions of new or enhanced products by us and by our competitors, o the availability and cost of components, o the timing and mix of shipments of our products, o the market acceptance of our new products, o seasonality, o currency fluctuations, o changes in our prices and in our competitors' prices, o price protection offered to distributors and OEMs for product price reductions, o the timing of expenditures for staffing and related support costs, o the extent and success of advertising, 6 o research and development expenditures, and o changes in general economic conditions. We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in revenues and operating expenses as we introduce new products. In addition, our component purchases, production and spending levels are based upon our forecast of future demand for our products. Accordingly, any inaccuracy in our forecasts could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Demand for our products could be adversely affected by a slowdown in the overall demand for computer systems, printer products or digitally printed images. Our failure to complete shipments during a quarter could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that quarter. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of future performance for any particular period. SINCE OUR COMPETITORS HAVE GREATER FINANCIAL AND MARKETING RESOURCES THAN WE DO, WE MAY EXPERIENCE A REDUCTION IN MARKET SHARE AND REVENUES. The markets for our products are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Some of our current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. Our ability to compete in our markets depends on a number of factors, some within and others outside our control. These factors include: o the frequency and success of product introductions by us and by our competitors, o the selling prices of our products and of our competitors' products, o the performance of our products and of our competitors' products, o product distribution by us and by our competitors, o our marketing ability and the marketing ability of our competitors, and o the quality of customer support offered by us and by our competitors. A key element of our strategy is to provide competitively priced, quality products. We cannot be certain that our products will continue to be competitively priced. We have reduced prices on certain of our products in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future. Price reductions, if not offset by similar reductions in product costs, will reduce our gross margins and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP AND MANUFACTURE NEW PRODUCTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE MAY EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN SALES AND REVENUES WHICH MAY HURT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS. The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly evolving technology, frequent new product introductions and significant price competition. Consequently, short product life cycles and reductions in product selling prices due to competitive pressures over the life of a product are common. Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to develop and manufacture competitive products and achieve cost reductions for our existing products. In addition, we monitor new technology developments and coordinate with suppliers, distributors and dealers to enhance our existing products and lower costs. Advances in technology will require increased investment in product development to maintain our market position. If we are unable to develop and manufacture new, competitive products in a timely manner, our financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. 7 IF THE MARKET'S ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS CEASES TO GROW, WE MAY NOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS. The markets for our products are relatively new and are still developing. We believe that there has been growing market acceptance for color printers, color management software and supplies. We cannot be certain, however, that these markets will continue to grow. Other technologies are constantly evolving and improving. We cannot be certain that products based on these other technologies will not have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products. If our products are not accepted by the market, we will not generate sufficient revenues to continue our operations. IF OUR SUPPLIERS CEASE LICENSING THEIR PRODUCTS TO US, WE MAY HAVE TO REDUCE OUR WORK FORCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS. At present, many of our products use technology licensed from outside suppliers. We rely heavily on these suppliers for upgrades and support. In the case of our font products, we license the fonts from outside suppliers, who also own the intellectual property rights to the fonts. Our reliance on third-party suppliers involves many risks, including our limited control over potential hardware and software incompatibilities with our products. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that all of the suppliers of products we market will continue to license their products to us, or that these suppliers will not license their products to other companies simultaneously. IF WE ACQUIRE COMPLEMENTARY BUSINESSES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE THEM INTO OUR CURRENT OPERATIONS, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OVERALL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. In order to grow our business, we may acquire businesses that we believe are complementary. To successfully implement this strategy, we must identify suitable acquisition candidates, acquire these candidates on acceptable terms, integrate their operations and technology successfully with ours, retain existing customers and maintain the goodwill of the acquired business. We may fail in our efforts to implement one or more of these tasks. Moreover, in pursuing acquisition opportunities, we may compete for acquisition targets with other companies with similar growth strategies. Some of these competitors may be larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do. Competition for these acquisition targets likely could also result in increased prices of acquisition targets and a diminished pool of companies available for acquisition. Our overall financial performance will be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to manage internal or acquisition-based growth effectively. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including: o integrating acquired products and technologies in a timely manner; o integrating businesses and employees with our business; o managing geographically-dispersed operations; o reductions in our reported operating results from acquisition-related charges and amortization of goodwill; o potential increases in stock compensation expense and increased compensation expense resulting from newly-hired employees; o the diversion of management attention; o the assumption of unknown liabilities; o potential disputes with the sellers of one or more acquired entities; 8 o our inability to maintain customers or goodwill of an acquired business; o the need to divest unwanted assets or products; and o the possible failure to retain key acquired personnel. Client satisfaction or performance problems with an acquired business could also have a material adverse effect on our reputation, and any acquired business could significantly under perform relative to our expectations. We are currently facing all of these challenges and our ability to meet them over the long term has not been established. As a result, we cannot be certain that we will be able to integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies successfully or in a timely manner in accordance with our strategic objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our overall financial performance. In addition, if we issue equity securities as consideration for any future acquisitions, existing stockholders will experience ownership dilution and these equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges superior to those of our common stock. See "Future Capital Needs." IF OUR VENDORS ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPLY GOODS AND SERVICES AT APPROPRIATE PRICES TO MEET THE PROJECTED MARKET DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS, IT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. We presently outsource the production of some of our manufactured products through a number of vendors located in California. These vendors assemble products, using components purchased by us from other sources or from their own inventory. The terms of supply contracts are negotiated separately in each instance. Although we have not experienced any difficulty over the past several years in engaging contractors or in purchasing components, our present vendors may not have sufficient capacity to meet projected market demand for our products and alternative production sources may not be available without undue disruption. Certain components used in our products are only available from single sources. Although alternative suppliers are readily available for many of our components, for some components the process of qualifying replacement suppliers, replacing tooling or ordering and receiving replacement components could take several months and cause substantial disruption to our operations. Any significant increase in component prices or decrease in component availability could have a material adverse effect on our business and overall financial performance. IF WE ARE FOUND TO BE INFRINGING ON A COMPETITOR'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR IF WE ARE REQUIRED TO DEFEND AGAINST A CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDESIGN OUR PRODUCTS OR DEFEND A LEGAL ACTION AT SUBSTANTIAL COSTS TO US. We currently hold no patents. Our software products, hardware designs, and circuit layouts are copyrighted. However, copyright protection does not prevent other companies from emulating the features and benefits provided by our software, hardware designs or the integration of the two. We protect our software source code as trade secrets and make our proprietary source code available to OEM customers only under limited circumstances and specific security and confidentiality constraints. In many product hardware designs, we develop application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) which encapsulate proprietary technology and are installed on the circuit board. This can serve to significantly reduce the risk of duplication by competitors, but in no way ensures that a competitor will be unable to replicate a feature or the benefit in a similar product. 9 Competitors may assert that we infringe their patent rights. If we fail to establish that we have not violated the asserted rights, we could be prohibited from marketing the products that incorporate the technology and we could be liable for damages. We could also incur substantial costs to redesign our products or to defend any legal action taken against us. We have obtained U.S. registration for several of our trade names or trademarks, including: PCPI, NewGen, ColorBlind, LaserImage, ColorImage, ImageScript and ImageFont. These trade names are used to distinguish our products in the marketplace. IF THE PRESENT ECONOMIC CRISIS IN ASIA CONTINUES, OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES IN ASIA WILL NOT BE COLLECTIBLE AND WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR CONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OVERALL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. We conduct business globally. Accordingly, our future results could be adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors including: o foreign currency exchange fluctuations; o regulatory, political or economic conditions in a specific country or region; o the imposition of governmental controls; o export license requirements; o restrictions on the export of critical technology; o trade restrictions; o changes in tariffs; o government spending patterns; o natural disasters; o difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and o difficulties in collecting accounts receivable. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In our 1998 fiscal year, we experienced contract cancellations and the write-off of significant receivables related to continuing economic deterioration in foreign countries, particularly in Asia. Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business and overall financial performance. We intend to pursue international markets as key avenues for growth and to increase the percentage of sales generated in international markets. In our 2000, 1999 and 1998 fiscal years, sales outside the United States represented approximately 2%, 56% and 57% of our net sales, respectively. We expect sales outside the United States to continue to represent a significant portion of our sales. As we continue to expand our international sales and operations, our business and overall financial performance may be adversely affected by the factors stated above. IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO WRITE OFF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR CUSTOMERS IN ASIA,AS WE DID IN FISCAL 1998, OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. 10 In our 1998 fiscal year, we experienced contract cancellations and the write-off of significant receivables related to continuing economic deterioration in foreign countries, particularly in Asia. Although we have not had to write off any significant accounts receivable of customers in Asia since that time, if it should become necessary to do once again, our financial performance would be adversely affected. IF ALL OF THE LAWSUITS CURRENTLY FILED WERE DECIDED AGAINST US AND/OR ALL THE JUDGMENTS CURRENTLY OBTAINED AGAINST US WERE TO BE IMMEDIATELY COLLECTED, WE WOULD HAVE TO CEASE OUR OPERATIONS. On or about October 7, 1999, the law firms of Weiss & Yourman and Stull, Stull & Brody made a public announcement that they had filed a lawsuit against us and certain current and past officers and/or directors, alleging violation of federal securities laws during the period of April 21, 1998 through October 9, 1998. On or about November 17, 1999, the lawsuit, filed in the name of Nahid Nazarian Behfarin, on her own behalf and others purported to be similarly situated, was served on us. A motion to dismiss the lawsuit was granted on February 16, 2001 on our behalf and those individual defendants that have been served. However, on or about March 19, 2001, an amended complaint was filed on behalf of Nahid Nazarian Behfarin, Peter Cook, Stephen Domagala and Michael S. Taylor, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. On or about March 20, 2001, we once again filed a motion to dismiss the case along with certain other individual defendants. The motion was denied and an answer to the complaint has been filed on behalf of the company and certain individual defendants. We believe these claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them on our behalf as well as on behalf of the other defendants. The defense of this action has been tendered to our insurance carriers. Throughout fiscal 1999, 2000 and 2001, and through the date of this filing, approximately fifty trade creditors have made claims and/or filed actions alleging the failure of us to pay our obligations to them in a total amount exceeding $3 million. These actions are in various stages of litigation, with many resulting in judgments being entered against us. Sevral of those who have obtained judgments have filed judgment liens on our assets. These claims range in value from less than one thousand dollars to just over one million dollars, with the great majority being less than twenty thousand dollars. Should we be required to pay the full amount demanded in each of these claims and lawsuits, we may have to cease our operations. However, to date, the superior security interest held by Imperial Bank has prevented nearly all of these trade creditors from collecting on their judgments. IF OUR OPERATIONS CONTINUE TO RESULT IN A NET LOSS, NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL AND A DECLINE IN NET WORTH, AND WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEEDED FUNDING, WE MAY BE FORCED TO DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS. For several recent periods, up through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000, we had a net loss, negative working capital and a decline in net worth which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our losses have resulted primarily from an inability to achieve product sales and contract revenue targets due to insufficient working capital. Our ability to continue operations will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations and on our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. Although we have reduced our work force and discontinued some of our operations, if we are unable to achieve the necessary product sales or raise or obtain needed funding, we may be forced to discontinue operations. 11 IF OUR WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTORS REDUCE OR DISCONTINUE SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our products are marketed and sold through a distribution channel of value added resellers, manufacturers' representatives, retail vendors, and systems integrators. We have a network of dealers and distributors in the United States and Canada, in the European Community and on the European Continent, as well as a growing number of resellers in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Australia. We support our worldwide distribution network and end-user customers through centralized manufacturing, distribution, and repair operations headquartered in San Diego. As of February 9, 2001, we directly employed 8 individuals involved in marketing and sales activities. Our sales are principally made through distributors which may carry competing product lines. These distributors could reduce or discontinue sales of our products which could materially and adversely affect us. These independent distributors may not devote the resources necessary to provide effective sales and marketing support of our products. In addition, we are dependent upon the continued viability and financial stability of these distributors, many of which are small organizations with limited capital. These distributors, in turn, are substantially dependent on general economic conditions and other unique factors affecting our markets. We believe that our future growth and success will continue to depend in large part upon our distribution channels. Our business could be materially and adversely affected if our distributors fail to pay amounts to us that exceed reserves we have established. AS A COMPANY IN THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY AND DUE TO THE VOLATILITY OF THE STOCK MARKETS GENERALLY, OUR STOCK PRICE COULD FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE FUTURE. The market price of our common stock historically has fluctuated significantly. Our stock price could fluctuate significantly in the future based upon any number of factors such as: o general stock market trends; o announcements of developments related to our business; o fluctuations in our operating results; o a shortfall in our revenues or earnings compared to the estimates of securities analysts; o announcements of technological innovations, new products or enhancements by us or our competitors, o general conditions in the computer peripheral market and the imaging markets we serve; o general conditions in the worldwide economy; o developments in patents or other intellectual property rights; and o developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Similarly, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly based upon factors unrelated to our operating performance. IF AN OPERATIONAL RECEIVER IS REINSTATED TO CONTROL OUR OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN. 12 On August 20, 1999, at the request of Imperial Bank, our primary lender, the Superior Court, San Diego appointed an operational receiver to us. On August 23, 1999, the operational receiver took control of our day-to-day operations. Through further equity infusion, primarily in the form of the exercise of warrants to purchase our common stock, operations have continued, and on June 21, 2000, the Superior Court, San Diego issued an order dismissing the operational receiver as a part of a settlement of litigation with Imperial Bank pursuant to the Settlement Agreement effective as of June 20, 2000. The Settlement Agreement requires that we make monthly payments of $150,000 to Imperial Bank until the indebtedness is paid in full. However, in the future, without additional funding sufficient to satisfy Imperial Bank and our other creditors, as well as providing for our working capital, there can be no assurances that an operational receiver may not be reinstated. If an operational receiver is reinstated, we will not be able to expand our products nor will we have complete control over sales policies or the allocation of funds. The penalty for noncompliance of the Settlement Agreement is a stipulated judgment that allows Imperial Bank to immediately reinstate the operational receiver and begin liquidation proceedings against us. We are currently meeting the monthly amount of $150,000 as stipulated by the Settlement Agreement with Imperial Bank. However, the monthly payments have been reduced to $100,000 for August, September and October of 2001. THE DELISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET HAS MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO RAISE FINANCING AND THERE IS LESS LIQUIDITY FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AS A RESULT. The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require an issuer to evidence a minimum of $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, a $35,000,000 market capitalization or $500,000 in net income in the latest fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years, and a $1.00 per share bid price, respectively. On October 21, 1999, Nasdaq notified us that we no longer complied with the bid price and net tangible assets/market capitalization/net income requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. At a hearing on December 2, 1999, a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel also raised public interest concerns relating to our financial viability. While the Panel acknowledged that we were in technical compliance with the bid price and market capitalization requirements, the Panel was of the opinion that the continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market was no longer appropriate. This conclusion was based on the Panel's concerns regarding our future viability. Our common stock was delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market effective with the close of business on March 1, 2000. As a result of being delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, stockholders may find it more difficult to sell our common stock. This lack of liquidity also may make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future. Trading of our common stock is now being conducted over-the-counter through the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board and covered by Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq and the issuer has 13 net tangible assets under $2,000,000, the equity security also would constitute a "penny stock." Our common stock does constitute a penny stock because our common stock has a market price less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is no longer quoted on Nasdaq and our net tangible assets do not exceed $2,000,000. As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Furthermore, the ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market would be limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock would be severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL ALL OF THE SHARES OFFERED BY US, OR IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL THOSE SHARES AT ANTICIPATED FIXED PRICES, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO RAISE THE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL NEEDED TO SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN. We are simultaneously registering 22 million shares of common stock that have been issued or are issuable to selling security holders and will be attempting to raise capital at a fixed price(s) through the sale of 20 million shares of common stock offered by us. As a result, we may have difficulty selling the shares offered by us because the selling security holders may sell their shares for a price below our fixed offering price. The registration of the significant amount of shares offered by the selling security holders may also impact the total amount of shares that we will be able to sell. If we are unable to sell all of the shares offered by us at a sufficient fixed price(s), we will be unable to raise the amount of capital needed to successfully execute our business plan. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains some forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words like "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "continue," "believe" or other similar words. Similarly, statements that describe our future expectations, objectives and goals or contain projections of our future results of operations or financial condition are also forward-looking statements. Our future results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other cautionary statements in this prospectus. PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF THE SHARES All of the shares of common stock in this Offer Prospectus are being offered by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock, but if all of the options exercised we will receive $1,414,000 in connection with the exercise of stock options relating to such shares of common stock. We intend to use these funds for working capital.

(4) Based upon 205,978,931 Shares outstanding as of November 7, 2001. HOW THE SHARES MAY BE DISTRIBUTED The selling stockholders may sell shares of our common stock in various ways and at various prices. Some of the methods by which the selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock include: - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; - privately negotiated transactions; - block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; - purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by that broker or dealer for the selling stockholder's account under this Offer Prospectus; - sales under Rule 144 rather than by using this Offer Prospectus; 15 - a combination of any of these methods of sale; and - any other legally permitted method. The applicable sales price may be affected by the type of transaction. The selling stockholders may also pledge their shares of common stock as collateral for a margin loan under their customer agreements with their brokers. If there is a default by the selling stockholders, the brokers may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if the broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of the shares of common stock, from that purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. These commissions are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. We cannot estimate at the present time the amount of commissions or discounts, if any, that will be paid by the selling stockholders in connection with sales of the shares of common stock. Any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in sales of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with such sales. In that event, any commissions received by broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed broker-dealers. In addition, the shares of common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the relevant state or unless the shares of common stock qualify for an exemption from registration or qualification. We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock The selling stockholders and other persons participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock offered under this Offer Prospectus are subject to the applicable requirements of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in connection with sales of the shares of common stock.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, such as the registrant, may 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 a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually 17 and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonable entitled to indemnity for such expenses. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages to our company or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability resulting from a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders, intentional misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or inactions not in good faith, an unlawful stock purchase or payment of a dividend under Delaware law, or transactions from which the director derives improper personal benefit. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Our bylaws provide that the registrant shall indemnify our officers, directors and employees. The rights to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the person. In addition, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of our company shall be paid by the registrant unless such officer, director or employee is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties. This means that our certificate of incorporation provides that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director. A director will be held liable for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, his or her intentional misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or in actions not in good faith, an unlawful stock purchase or payment of a dividend under Delaware law, or transactions from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. This limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies against the director including injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agent to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our officers and directors. In some cases, the provisions of these indemnification agreements may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation or otherwise permitted under Delaware law. Each indemnification agreement may require us to indemnify an officer or director against liabilities that may arise by reason of his status or service as an officer or director, or against liabilities arising from the director's willful misconduct of a culpable nature. 18 PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ITEM 3.

(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendments 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. 20 (3) To remove from registration by mean of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the company's annual report pursuant to Section 13 (a) or Section 15 (d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
