General Corporation Law (the &#147;Delaware Law&#148;), the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws include provisions to (i)&nbsp;eliminate
the personal liability of its directors and officers for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware Law and (ii)&nbsp;require the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware Law, a corporation generally
has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such
positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. The Company believes these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors&#146; duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware Law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company, for
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or its stockholders, for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for the director&#146;s duty to the Company or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious
injury to the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director&#146;s duty to the Company or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the
director and the Company and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as federal securities laws or state or
federal environmental laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has obtained an insurance policy covering the officers and directors of the Company with respect

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

Item 4.
Description of Securities

Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the issuance of Common Stock
registered hereby is passed on for the Company by Kate W. Duchene, Esq. Ms. Duchene is the Chief Legal Officer, Executive Vice President of Human Relations and Secretary of the Company and is compensated by the Company as an employee.
Ms. Duchene owns 74,696 shares of Common Stock and Company stock options to acquire up to an additional 220,750 shares of Common Stock. Ms. Duchene is eligible to participate in the Plans.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law"), the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws include provisions to (i) eliminate
the personal liability of its directors and officers for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware Law and (ii) require the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Law, a corporation generally
has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such
positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. The Company believes these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware Law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company, for
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or its stockholders, for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the Company or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious
injury to the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the Company or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the
director and the Company and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as federal securities laws or state or
federal environmental laws.
The Company has obtained an insurance policy covering the officers and directors of the Company with respect
to certain liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities arising under the Securities Act).

Item 8.
Exhibits
See the attached Exhibit Index at page 8, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this 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 reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
