We act as a full service outsourced trim management department for manufacturers, a specified supplier of trim items to owners of specific brands, brand licensees and retailers, a manufacturer and distributor of zippers under our TALON brand name and a distributor of stretch waistbands that utilize licensed patented technology under our TEKFIT brand name. ABOUT THE OFFERING This prospectus may be used only in connection with the resale by the selling stockholders of up to 3,811,647 shares of our common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders using this prospectus. On December 6, 2004 we had 18,146,301 shares of common stock outstanding. CORPORATE INFORMATION We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997. We were formed to serve as the parent holding company of Tag-It, Inc., a California corporation, Tag-It Printing & Packaging Ltd., which changed its name in 1999 to Tag-It Pacific (HK) LTD, a BVI corporation, Tag-It de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., A.G.S. Stationery, Inc., a California corporation, and Pacific Trim & Belt, Inc., a California corporation. All of these companies were consolidated under a parent limited liability company in October 1997. These companies became our wholly owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective date of our initial public offering in January 1998. In 2000, we formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, Tag-It Pacific Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, and Talon International, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Our executive offices are located at 21900 Burbank Boulevard, Suite 270, Woodland Hills, California 91367, and our telephone number is (818) 444-4100. Information on our website, www.tagitpacific.com, does not constitute part of this prospectus. 3 RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BUY OUR COMMON STOCK. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE THE MATERIAL ONES FACING OUR COMPANY. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD LIKELY SUFFER. IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF THE MONEY YOU PAID TO BUY OUR COMMON STOCK. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING WE OPERATE IN AN INDUSTRY THAT IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER, THAT MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED REDUCTIONS IN REVENUE AND STOCK PRICE VOLATILITY. Factors that may influence our quarterly operating results include: o The volume and timing of customer orders received during the quarter; o The timing and magnitude of customers' marketing campaigns; o The loss or addition of a major customer; o The availability and pricing of materials for our products; o The increased expenses incurred in connection with the introduction of new products; o Currency fluctuations; o Delays caused by third parties; and o Changes in our product mix or in the relative contribution to sales of our subsidiaries. Due to these factors, it is possible that in some quarters our operating results may be below our stockholders' expectations and those of public market analysts. If this occurs, the price of our common stock would likely be adversely affected. OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECREASE, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND CAUSE OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO SUFFER SIGNIFICANT LOSSES. The following factors could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease, perhaps substantially: o The failure of our quarterly operating results to meet expectations of investors or securities analysts; o Adverse developments in the financial markets, the apparel industry and the worldwide or regional economies; o Interest rates; o Changes in accounting principles; o Sales of common stock by existing stockholders or holders of options; o Announcements of key developments by our competitors; and o The reaction of markets and securities analysts to announcements and developments involving our company. IF WE NEED TO SELL OR ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR ASSUME ADDITIONAL DEBT TO FINANCE FUTURE GROWTH, OUR STOCKHOLDERS' OWNERSHIP COULD BE DILUTED OR OUR EARNINGS COULD BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED. Our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth, by acquiring complementary businesses or by establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so or to fund our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders' stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur 4 impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company and this could negatively impact our results of operations. WE HAVE ADOPTED A NUMBER OF ANTI-TAKEOVER MEASURES THAT MAY DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our stockholders' rights plan, our ability to issue additional shares of preferred stock and some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to make an unsolicited takeover attempt of us. These anti-takeover measures may depress the price of our common stock by making it more difficult for third parties to acquire us by offering to purchase shares of our stock at a premium to its market price. INSIDERS OWN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD LIMIT OUR STOCKHOLDERS' ABILITY TO INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME OF KEY TRANSACTIONS. As of October 29, 2004, our officers and directors and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 15.0% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Dyne family, which includes Mark Dyne, Colin Dyne, Larry Dyne, Jonathan Burstein and the estate of Harold Dyne, beneficially owned approximately 17.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at October 29, 2004. Gerard Guez and Todd Kay, significant stockholders of Tarrant Apparel Group, each own approximately 5.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock at October 29, 2004. As a result, our officers and directors, the Dyne family, Gerard Guez and Todd Kay are able to exert considerable influence over the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock, including the election of our Board of Directors. The voting power of these stockholders could also discourage others from seeking to acquire control of us through the purchase of our common stock, which might depress the price of our common stock. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS IF WE LOSE OUR LARGER CUSTOMERS OR THEY FAIL TO PURCHASE AT ANTICIPATED LEVELS, OUR SALES AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our results of operations will depend to a significant extent upon the commercial success of our larger customers. If these customers fail to purchase our trim products at anticipated levels, or our relationship with these customers terminates, it may have an adverse affect on our results because: o We will lose a primary source of revenue if these customers choose not to purchase our products or services; o We may not be able to reduce fixed costs incurred in developing the relationship with these customers in a timely manner; o We may not be able to recoup setup and inventory costs; o We may be left holding inventory that cannot be sold to other customers; and o We may not be able to collect our receivables from them. OUR GROWTH AND OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE MATERIALLY, ADVERSELY EFFECTED IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN RESOLVING A DISPUTE THAT NOW EXISTS REGARDING OUR RIGHTS UNDER OUR EXCLUSIVE LICENSE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT WITH PRO-FIT HOLDINGS. Pursuant to our agreement with Pro-Fit Holdings Limited, we have exclusive rights in certain geographic areas to Pro-Fit's stretch and rigid waistband technology. By letter dated April 6, 2004, Pro-Fit alleged various breaches of the agreement which we dispute. To prevent Pro-Fit in the future from terminating the agreement based on alleged breaches that we do not regard as meritorious, we filed a lawsuit against Pro-Fit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, based on various contractual and tort claims seeking declaratory relief, injunctive relief and damages. Pro-Fit filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and filed a counterclaim alleging various contractual and tort claims seeking injunctive relief and damages. We filed a reply denying the material allegations of Pro-Fit's pleading. Discovery in this case has not yet commenced and no date has been set for trial of this matter. There have been ongoing negotiations with 5 Pro-Fit to attempt to resolve these disputes. We intend to proceed with the lawsuit if these negotiations are not concluded in a manner satisfactory to us. We derive a significant amount of revenues from the sale of products incorporating the stretch waistband technology. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to conclude our present negotiations in a manner acceptable to us and ensuing litigation is not resolved in a manner favorable to us. CONCENTRATION OF RECEIVABLES FROM OUR LARGER CUSTOMERS MAKES RECEIVABLE BASED FINANCING DIFFICULT AND INCREASES THE RISK THAT IF OUR LARGER CUSTOMERS FAIL TO PAY US, OUR CASH FLOW WOULD BE SEVERELY AFFECTED. Our business relies heavily on a relatively small number of customers. This concentration of our business reduces the amount we can borrow from our lenders under receivables based financing agreements. If we are unable to collect any large receivables due us, our cash flow would be severely impacted. BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ALWAYS OBTAIN MATERIALS WHEN WE NEED THEM AND WE MAY LOSE SALES AND CUSTOMERS. Lead times for materials we order can vary significantly and depend on many factors, including the specific supplier, the contract terms and the demand for particular materials at a given time. From time to time, we may experience fluctuations in the prices, and disruptions in the supply, of materials. Shortages or disruptions in the supply of materials, or our inability to procure materials from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could lead us to miss deadlines for orders and lose sales and customers. OUR REVENUES MAY BE HARMED IF GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WORSEN. Our revenues depend on the health of the economy and the growth of our customers and potential future customers. When economic conditions weaken, certain apparel manufacturers and retailers, including some of our customers, have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, financial difficulties which increase the risk of extending credit to such customers. Customers adversely affected by economic conditions have also attempted to improve their own operating efficiencies by concentrating their purchasing power among a narrowing group of vendors. There can be no assurance that we will remain a preferred vendor to our existing customers. A decrease in business from or loss of a major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Further, if the economic conditions in the United States worsen or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, we may experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MANAGE OUR RAPID EXPANSION AND GROWTH, WE COULD INCUR UNFORESEEN COSTS OR DELAYS AND OUR REPUTATION AND RELIABILITY IN THE MARKETPLACE AND OUR REVENUES WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. The growth of our operations and activities has placed and will continue to place a significant strain on our management, operational, financial and accounting resources. If we cannot implement and improve our financial and management information and reporting systems, we may not be able to implement our growth strategies successfully and our revenues will be adversely affected. In addition, if we cannot hire, train, motivate and manage new employees, including management and operating personnel in sufficient numbers, and integrate them into our overall operations and culture, our ability to manage future growth, increase production levels and effectively market and distribute our products may be significantly impaired. OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE CYCLICAL BUYING PATTERNS WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE PERIODS OF LOW SALES VOLUME. Most of our customers are in the apparel industry. The apparel industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variations. Our business has experienced, and we expect our business to continue to experience, significant cyclical fluctuations due, in part, to customer buying patterns, which may result in periods of low sales usually in the first and fourth quarters of our financial year. 6 OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS DEPENDENT ON INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS ON A GLOBAL BASIS AND, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE FAIL TO MAINTAIN AND SUPPORT OUR INFORMATION SYSTEMS, IT CAN RESULT IN LOST REVENUES. We must consolidate and centralize the management of our subsidiaries and significantly expand and improve our financial and operating controls. Additionally, we must effectively integrate the information systems of our Mexican and Caribbean facilities with the information systems of our principal offices in California and Florida. Our failure to do so could result in lost revenues, delay financial reporting or adversely affect availability of funds under our credit facilities. THE LOSS OF KEY MANAGEMENT AND SALES PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, INCLUDING OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND SECURE ACCOUNTS AND GENERATE SALES. Our success has and will continue to depend to a significant extent upon key management and sales personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace, particularly Colin Dyne, our Chief Executive Officer. Colin Dyne is not bound by an employment agreement. The loss of the services of Colin Dyne or the services of other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to establish and maintain client relationships. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain personnel with a variety of sales, operating and managerial skills. IF WE EXPERIENCE DISRUPTIONS AT ANY OF OUR FOREIGN FACILITIES, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS AND MAY LOSE SALES AND CUSTOMERS. Currently, we do not operate duplicate facilities in different geographic areas. Therefore, in the event of a regional disruption where we maintain one or more of our facilities, it is unlikely that we could shift our operations to a different geographic region and we may have to cease or curtail our operations. This may cause us to lose sales and customers. The types of disruptions that may occur include: o Foreign trade disruptions; o Import restrictions; o Labor disruptions; o Embargoes; o Government intervention; and o Natural disasters. INTERNET-BASED SYSTEMS THAT HOST OUR MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION MAY EXPERIENCE DISRUPTIONS AND AS A RESULT WE MAY LOSE REVENUES AND CUSTOMERS. Our MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION is an Internet-based business-to-business e-commerce system. To the extent that we fail to adequately continue to update and maintain the hardware and software implementing the MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION, our customers may experience interruptions in service due to defects in our hardware or our source code. In addition, since our MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION is Internet-based, interruptions in Internet service generally can negatively impact our customers' ability to use the MANAGED TRIM SOLUTION to monitor and manage various aspects of their trim needs. Such defects or interruptions could result in lost revenues and lost customers. THERE ARE MANY COMPANIES THAT OFFER SOME OR ALL OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WE SELL AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. We compete in highly competitive and fragmented industries with numerous local and regional companies that provide some or all of the products and services we offer. We compete with national and international design companies, distributors and manufacturers of tags, packaging products, zippers and other trim items. Some of our competitors, including Paxar Corporation, YKK, Universal Button, Inc., Avery Dennison Corporation and Scovill Fasteners, Inc., have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and, in many cases, substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. 7 IF CUSTOMERS DEFAULT ON BUYBACK AGREEMENTS WITH US, WE WILL BE LEFT HOLDING UNSALABLE INVENTORY. Inventories include goods that are subject to buyback agreements with our customers. Under these buyback agreements the customer must purchase the inventories from us, under normal invoice and selling terms, if any inventory which we purchase on their behalf remains in our hands longer than agreed by the customer from the time we received the goods from our vendors. If any customer defaults on these buyback provisions, we may incur a charge in connection with our holding significant amounts of unsalable inventory. UNAUTHORIZED USE OF OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY MAY INCREASE OUR LITIGATION COSTS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR SALES. We rely on trademark, trade secret and copyright laws to protect our designs and other proprietary property worldwide. We cannot be certain that these laws will be sufficient to protect our property. In particular, the laws of some countries in which our products are distributed or may be distributed in the future may not protect our products and intellectual rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If litigation is necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. This could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Ultimately, we may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce our rights under intellectual property laws, which could result in lost sales. IF OUR PRODUCTS INFRINGE ANY OTHER PERSON'S PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, WE MAY BE SUED AND HAVE TO PAY LARGE LEGAL EXPENSES AND JUDGMENTS AND REDESIGN OR DISCONTINUE SELLING OUR PRODUCTS. From time to time in our industry, third parties allege infringement of their proprietary rights. Any infringement claims, whether or not meritorious, could result in costly litigation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements as a means of settlement. If we are found to have infringed the proprietary rights of others, we could be required to pay damages, cease sales of the infringing products and redesign the products or discontinue their sale. Any of these outcomes, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REALIZE THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF ACQUISITIONS. We may consider strategic acquisitions as opportunities arise, subject to the obtaining of any necessary financing. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including diversion of our management's attention away from our operating activities. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will not encounter unanticipated problems or liabilities relating to the integration of an acquired company's operations, nor can we assure our stockholders that we will realize the anticipated benefits of any future acquisitions. WE MAY FACE INTERRUPTION OF PRODUCTION AND SERVICES DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO TERRORISM. Our business depends on the free flow of products and services through the channels of commerce. Recently, in response to terrorists' activities and threats aimed at the United States, transportation, mail, financial and other services have been slowed or stopped altogether. Further delays or stoppages in transportation, mail, financial or other services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may experience an increase in operating costs, such as costs for transportation, insurance and security as a result of the activities and potential activities. We may also experience delays in receiving payments from payers that have been affected by the terrorist activities and potential activities. The United States economy in general is being adversely affected by the terrorist activities and potential activities and any economic downturn could adversely impact our results of operations, impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely affect our ability to grow our business. 8 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements appear in a number of places in this prospectus and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations regarding our strategies, future sales, other plans and objectives, our ability to design, develop, source and market products, and the ability of our products to achieve or maintain commercial acceptance. Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in this prospectus, for the reasons, among others, described in the Risk Factors section beginning on page 4. You should read the Risk Factors section carefully, and should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any updated information about forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. USE OF PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of each selling stockholder's common stock will belong to that selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from such sales. In a November 2004 private placement, we issued secured convertible promissory notes and warrants for gross proceeds to us of $12,500,000. Net proceeds to us amounted to approximately $11.8 million after payment of placement agent fees and expenses. We used a portion of these proceeds to pay off our existing indebtedness under our working capital credit facility, and we intend to use the balance of the proceeds for general working capital purposes. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS On November 10, 2004, we completed a $12.5 million financing through the issuance of 6% secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase up to 171,235 shares of our common stock. Prior to maturity, the promissory notes may be converted into our common stock at a price of $3.65 per share. We may repay the promissory notes at any time after one year from the issuance date with a 15% prepayment penalty. At maturity, we may repay the promissory notes in cash or require conversion if certain conditions are met. The promissory notes pay interest at a rate of 6% per annum and have a term of three years. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.65 per share. We sold these securities to the following investors: The Pinacle Fund, L.P.; Westpark Capital, L.P.; Flyline Holdings Limited; Ritchie Maple Trading, Ltd.; Atlas Capital Master Fund; Atlas Capital (Q.P.), L.P.; ACM Partners, L.P. and Southwell Partners, L.P., all of which were existing shareholders of ours and are selling stockholders. Sanders Morris Harris Inc., a selling stockholder, acted as placement agent in the financing. For its services, we paid the placement agent an aggregate of $704,000 in cash, including the reimbursement of costs, and issued to them five year warrants to purchase up to 215,754 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.65 per share, which warrants vest and become exercisable in full on May 10, 2005. In connection with the November 2004 private placement financing, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors and Sanders Morris Harris Inc. Pursuant to the registrant rights 9 agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale by the investors and Sanders Morris Harris of the shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of their secured convertible promissory notes and exercise of the warrants described in this prospectus and to keep the registration statement effective until the later of one year and the date that all the common shares may be sold by the investors pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. This registration rights agreement also provides that if we do not register for resale the common shares by April 9, 2005, then we must pay each of the investors a fee of 1% of the purchase price paid by such investor for the secured convertible promissory notes for each month after such date that the investor cannot publicly sell the common shares underlying the secured convertible promissory notes and warrants. Pursuant to this agreement, we filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the secured convertible promissory notes and the warrants identified in this prospectus and owned by the investors and Sanders Morris Harris Inc. OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH SELLING STOCKHOLDERS Each of The Pinacle Fund, L.P., Westpark Capital, L.P., Flyline Holdings Limited, Atlas Capital (Q.P.), L.P., and Southwell Partners, L.P. purchased from us Series D convertible preferred stock, at a price of $44.00 per share, in December 2003, which securities were subsequently converted into common stock. Sanders Morris Harris Inc. acted as placement agent in connection with this private placement financing. For their services as placement agent, we paid Sanders Morris Harris a fee equal to 7.5%, or approximately $1,890,300, of the gross proceeds from the financing, and reimbursed the placement agent for their out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $45,000. We also issued to Sanders Morris Harris a warrant to purchase 572,818 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.74 per share. The warrant vested in full on June 18, 2004 and has a term of 5 years. We registered the resale by these investors and Sanders Morris Harris of the common stock underlying the preferred shares and warrant, which registration statement is still in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Other than the transactions described above or as described in the table below, we had no material relationship with any selling stockholder during the three years preceding the date of this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders listed in the preceding section, or their donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest that receive such shares as a gift or other non-sale related transfer. These selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. 12 The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; o Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o Privately negotiated transactions; o Settlement of short sales; o Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o A combination of any such methods of sale; and o Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may also be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. 13 We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws provide for the indemnification by the Registrant of each director, officer and employee of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides in relevant part that a corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' 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 addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually 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 and 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 Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Delaware law further provides that nothing in the above described provisions shall be deemed exclusive of any other rights to II-1 indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102(o)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a provision so limiting the personal liability of a director shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for, among other things: breach of the duty of loyalty; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; unlawful payment of dividends; and transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant has entered into separate but identical indemnity agreements (the "Indemnity Agreements") with each director of the Registrant and certain officers of the Registrant (the "Indemnitees"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indemnity Agreements, the Registrant indemnified each Indemnitee against any amounts which he or she becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any claim against him or her based upon any action or inaction which he or she may commit, omit or suffer while acting in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of the Registrant or its subsidiaries, provided, however, that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's Conduct was unlawful.

II-2 ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to II-3 a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Los Angeles, State of California, on December 8, 2004.
