are unsecured, unfunded general obligations of the Company to pay the value of deferred
compensation accounts in accordance with the terms of the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, described
below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, the Company will provide eligible outside directors with
the opportunity to defer a portion their meeting and retainer fees in the form of Restricted Stock
or Restricted Stock Units (each, as defined under the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan). The 2003
Restricted Stock Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for members of the board of
directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;) who are not full-time employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. The obligation of the Company ultimately to pay amounts under the Restricted Stock
Units in accordance with the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan will be unsecured obligations of the
Company and will rank pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Company from time to time outstanding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of Restricted Stock Units that are credited to an outside director is determined by
dividing the portion of the meeting and retainer fees the director has elected to defer by the fair
market value of a share of the Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;Common
Stock&#148;), as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Restricted Stock Units will be credited to a bookkeeping account established by the Company in
the director&#146;s name. Except as described below, one-third of each award of Restricted Stock Units
will vest each year on the anniversary of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Company pays a cash dividend with respect to Common Stock at any time while Restricted
Stock Units are credited to a director&#146;s bookkeeping account, the director&#146;s account will be
credited additional Restricted Stock Units equal to (i)&nbsp;the cash dividend that the director would
have received had the director been the actual owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the account, divided by (ii)&nbsp;the fair market
value of one share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Additional Restricted Stock Units
will vest at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the additional
Restricted Stock Units were credited.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event a director&#146;s service on the Board is terminated for any reason other than death,
disability, cause or retirements, during January of the first calendar year after such termination,
the Company shall deliver to the director a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
vested Restricted Stock Units then credited to the director&#146;s bookkeeping account, together with a
cash payment equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent. Any unvested
Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i)&nbsp;the
retainer and meeting fees deferred by the director to obtain the restrict stock unit and (ii)&nbsp;the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the director&#146;s service on the Board
terminated. If a director&#146;s service on the Board terminates due to cause, the director will
forfeit all Restricted Stock Units credited to his or her account, and the Company shall pay the
director $0.01 per Restricted Stock Unit. If the director&#146;s service on the Board terminates due to
death, disability, or retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Units will be fully vested as of
the date of such termination of service, and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the director&#146;s account, together with a cash payment
equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent, will be distributed during
January of the first calendar year after such termination of service.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A director will not be entitled to any voting or other shareholder rights as a result of the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation
may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, subject to certain limitations.
The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. Section&nbsp;7.6 of our bylaws provides for indemnification by us
of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its charter that a director
of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1)&nbsp;for any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3)&nbsp;for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (4)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our charter provides for
such limitation of liability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We expect to maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1)&nbsp;to
our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or
other wrongful act, and (2)&nbsp;to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers
and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit&nbsp;1.1 to the S-1 Registration

certain liabilities.

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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the

foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Deferred Compensation Obligations
. The deferred compensation obligations registered hereunder
are unsecured, unfunded general obligations of the Company to pay the value of deferred
compensation accounts in accordance with the terms of the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, described
below.
Under the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, the Company will provide eligible outside directors with
the opportunity to defer a portion their meeting and retainer fees in the form of Restricted Stock
or Restricted Stock Units (each, as defined under the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan). The 2003
Restricted Stock Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for members of the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board") who are not full-time employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. The obligation of the Company ultimately to pay amounts under the Restricted Stock
Units in accordance with the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan will be unsecured obligations of the
Company and will rank pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Company from time to time outstanding.
The number of Restricted Stock Units that are credited to an outside director is determined by
dividing the portion of the meeting and retainer fees the director has elected to defer by the fair
market value of a share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Restricted Stock Units will be credited to a bookkeeping account established by the Company in
the director's name. Except as described below, one-third of each award of Restricted Stock Units
will vest each year on the anniversary of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.
If the Company pays a cash dividend with respect to Common Stock at any time while Restricted
Stock Units are credited to a director's bookkeeping account, the director's account will be
credited additional Restricted Stock Units equal to (i) the cash dividend that the director would
have received had the director been the actual owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the account, divided by (ii) the fair market
value of one share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Additional Restricted Stock Units
will vest at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the additional
Restricted Stock Units were credited.
In the event a director's service on the Board is terminated for any reason other than death,
disability, cause or retirements, during January of the first calendar year after such termination,
the Company shall deliver to the director a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
vested Restricted Stock Units then credited to the director's bookkeeping account, together with a
cash payment equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent. Any unvested
Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the
retainer and meeting fees deferred by the director to obtain the restrict stock unit and (ii) the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the director's service on the Board
terminated. If a director's service on the Board terminates due to cause, the director will
forfeit all Restricted Stock Units credited to his or her account, and the Company shall pay the
director $0.01 per Restricted Stock Unit. If the director's service on the Board terminates due to
death, disability, or retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Units will be fully vested as of
the date of such termination of service, and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number
of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the director's account, together with a cash payment
equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent, will be distributed during
January of the first calendar year after such termination of service.
A director will not be entitled to any voting or other shareholder rights as a result of the
credit of Restricted Stock Units to his or her bookkeeping account until the shares of Common Stock
are issued.

Table of Contents
The 2003 Restricted Stock Plan may be amended or terminated, including the terms and
conditions described above at any time, provided that any amendment may not adversely affect any
then outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation
may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having
been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, subject to certain limitations.
The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 7.6 of our bylaws provides for indemnification by us
of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its charter that a director
of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (4) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our charter provides for
such limitation of liability.
We expect to maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to
our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or
other wrongful act, and (2) to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers
and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the S-1 Registration
Statement provides for indemnification to our directors and officers by the underwriters against
certain liabilities.

Item 9. 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.
4
Table of Contents
(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 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
