the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent
permitted by law, as do the chartering documents of many other publicly held companies. Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) contains detailed and comprehensive
provisions providing for indemnification of directors and officers of Delaware corporations against
expenses, judgments, fines and settlements in connection with litigation. Under Delaware law, other
than an action brought by or in the right of the Registrant, such indemnification is available if
it is determined that the proposed indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, such indemnification is limited
to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or
settlement of such action if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issues or matters as to which such person
has been adjudged to be liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court deems proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that the proposed indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein), he or she must
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him
or her in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws
require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law.

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
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 of 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.

In addition, all documents filed with the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

Table of Contents
also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Arnold S. Graber, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, has provided an
opinion to us as to the validity of the shares of our common stock being registered under this
Registration Statement of Form S-8. Mr. Graber may be awarded shares, other awards, or options to
purchase shares under the Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws authorize
the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent
permitted by law, as do the chartering documents of many other publicly held companies. Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") contains detailed and comprehensive
provisions providing for indemnification of directors and officers of Delaware corporations against
expenses, judgments, fines and settlements in connection with litigation. Under Delaware law, other
than an action brought by or in the right of the Registrant, such indemnification is available if
it is determined that the proposed indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, such indemnification is limited
to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or
settlement of such action if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issues or matters as to which such person
has been adjudged to be liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court deems proper.
To the extent that the proposed indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein), he or she must
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him
or her in connection therewith.
The Registrant's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant's bylaws
require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.

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;
(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 registration
statement is on Form S-8, and 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; and
(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
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 of 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.
