<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Delaware law, directors of a Delaware corporation can generally be held liable for
certain types of negligence and other acts and omissions in connection with the performance of
their duties to the corporation and its stockholders. As permitted by Delaware law, however, the
Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the liability of
the Company&#146;s directors for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care to the Company and
its stockholders, except as described below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such provision does not eliminate liability for (i)&nbsp;breaches of the duty of loyalty to the
Company and its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;transactions from which improper personal benefit
is derived, or (iv)&nbsp;unlawful declaration of dividends or repurchases or redemptions of shares of
the Company&#146;s capital stock. Such provision applies to officers only if they are directors and are
acting in their capacity as directors. Although the issue has not been determined by any court,
such provision would probably have no effect on claims arising under federal securities laws. Such
provision does not eliminate the duty of care, but only eliminates liability for monetary damages
for breaches of such duty under various circumstances. Accordingly, such provision has no effect
on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, based upon a breach
of the duty of care. Equitable remedies may not, however, be wholly effective to remedy the injury
caused by any such breach.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide
discretionary indemnification to 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, 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
attorney&#146;s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, if such indemnified person acted
in good faith and in a manner which 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&#146;s conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, Section&nbsp;145 also permits a corporation to provide discretionary indemnification if
such indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that
indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be
liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit
was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise in light of all the
circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for mandatory indemnification
against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees), actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnified
person in connection with the defense, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of
a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article&nbsp;VI, Section&nbsp;4 of the Company&#146;s
Restated By-Laws, as amended, permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who 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,

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Delaware law, directors of a Delaware corporation can generally be held liable for
certain types of negligence and other acts and omissions in connection with the performance of
their duties to the corporation and its stockholders. As permitted by Delaware law, however, the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the liability of
the Company's directors for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care to the Company and
its stockholders, except as described below.
Such provision does not eliminate liability for (i) breaches of the duty of loyalty to the
Company and its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) transactions from which improper personal benefit
is derived, or (iv) unlawful declaration of dividends or repurchases or redemptions of shares of
the Company's capital stock. Such provision applies to officers only if they are directors and are
acting in their capacity as directors. Although the issue has not been determined by any court,
such provision would probably have no effect on claims arising under federal securities laws. Such
provision does not eliminate the duty of care, but only eliminates liability for monetary damages
for breaches of such duty under various circumstances. Accordingly, such provision has no effect
on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, based upon a breach
of the duty of care. Equitable remedies may not, however, be wholly effective to remedy the injury
caused by any such breach.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide
discretionary indemnification to 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, 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
attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, if such indemnified person acted
in good faith and in a manner which 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.
With respect to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, Section 145 also permits a corporation to provide discretionary indemnification if
such indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that
indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be
liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit
was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise in light of all the
circumstances.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for mandatory indemnification
against expenses (including attorney's fees), actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnified
person in connection with the defense, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of
a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article VI, Section 4 of the Company's
Restated By-Laws, as amended, permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who 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,
Table of Contents
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not the corporation would
have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.
Article VI, Section 4 of the Company's Restated By-Laws, as amended, provides that the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in
any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of the fact that such person or such person's legal representative, is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving, at the Company's request, as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability
and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person.
David E. McDowell, a member of the Company's Board of Directors and the Company's former
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is party to an agreement with the Company pursuant to which
the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold him harmless to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law as it presently exists or to such greater extent as such law may
subsequently be amended.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.

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 by the Company
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
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 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 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to Item 6 of this
Part II, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
