the registrant&#146;s Board of Directors will have any personal liability to it or
the registrant&#146;s shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such
capacity, unless (a)&nbsp;such liability was for an act or omission prior to the
adoption of these provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
(b)&nbsp;a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director establishes
that (i)&nbsp;his acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii)&nbsp;he personally gained in fact a
financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled or
(iii)&nbsp;his acts violated section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law
(generally relating to the improper declaration of dividends, improper
purchases of shares, improper distribution of assets after dissolution, or
making improper loans to directors contrary to specified statutory provisions).
Reference is made to Article&nbsp;TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation filed as Exhibit&nbsp;4(a) to this Registration Statement.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the registrant&#146;s bylaws, the registrant agrees to indemnify its
directors and officers and every other person who it may indemnify under the
indemnification provisions for directors and officers of the New York Business
Corporation Law. In addition, the bylaws provide that any person who is made,
or threatened to be made, a party to or involved in an action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate is or was
(or agreed to become) a director or officer of the registrant or is or was (or
agreed to serve) any other entity in any capacity will be indemnified by the
registrant unless a final judgment establishes that the director or officer (i)
acted in bad faith or was deliberately dishonest and such bad faith or
dishonesty was material to the matter adjudicated or (ii)&nbsp;gained a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. The bylaws
provide that the indemnification rights will be deemed to be &#147;contract rights&#148;
and continue after a person ceases to be a director or officer or after
rescission or modification of the bylaws with respect to prior occurring
events. They also provide directors and officers with the benefit of any
additional indemnification that may be permitted by later amendment to the New
York Business Corporation Law. The bylaws further provide for advancement of
expenses and specify procedures in seeking and obtaining indemnification.
Reference is made to Article&nbsp;VI of the bylaws filed as Exhibit&nbsp;4(b) to this
Registration Statement.

within the limits of its insurance policies, for those liabilities in respect
of which indemnification insurance is permitted under the laws of the State of
New York. The registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with
its officers and directors that specify the terms of its indemnification
obligations. In general, these indemnification agreements provide that the

permitted under current law and to the extent that the law is amended to
increase the scope of permitted indemnification. They also provide for the
advance payment of expenses to a director or officer incurred in an
indemnifiable claim, subject to repayment if it is later determined that the
director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified. Under these agreements
the registrant agrees to reimburse the director or officer for any expenses
that he incurs in seeking to enforce his rights under the indemnification
agreement, and the registrant has the opportunity to participate in the defense
of any indemnifiable claims against the director or officer.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to Sections&nbsp;721-726 of the New York Business Corporation
Law, which are summarized below.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;721 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that
indemnification pursuant to the New York Business Corporation Law will not be
deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer
may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that
(i)&nbsp;his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty, and, in either case, were material to the cause of
action so adjudicated, or (ii)&nbsp;he personally gained in fact a financial profit
or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;722(a) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to
any civil or criminal action or proceeding, other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor but including an
action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any director
or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason
of the fact that he or his testator or intestate was a director or officer of
the corporation or served such other entity in any capacity, against judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146;
fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or
proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of
service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to
actions by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor,
Section&nbsp;722(c) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a person
who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or who is or was serving
as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be indemnified
only against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including
attorneys&#146; fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such an action, or any appeal therein, if such
director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be
made in respect of (1)&nbsp;a threatened action, or a pending action which is
settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2)&nbsp;any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and to
the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to partial or full indemnification.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;723 of the New York Business Corporation Law specifies the manner
in which the corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It
provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in
which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or
otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer
has not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification may be made
by the

Corporation Law).

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;724 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that upon
proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded

Business Corporation Law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;725 of the New York Business Corporation Law contains certain
other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers, including provision for the return of amounts paid as indemnification
if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled to the
indemnification.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;726 of the New York Business Corporation Law authorizes the
purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (1)&nbsp;a corporation for any
obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and
officers under the above sections, (2)&nbsp;directors and officers in instances in
which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (3)
directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be
indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of
insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable
to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.

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 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.

Item 6. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers.
Under the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, no member of
the registrant's Board of Directors will have any personal liability to it or
the registrant's shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such
capacity, unless (a) such liability was for an act or omission prior to the
adoption of these provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
(b) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director establishes
that (i) his acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii) he personally gained in fact a
financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled or
(iii) his acts violated section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law
(generally relating to the improper declaration of dividends, improper
purchases of shares, improper distribution of assets after dissolution, or
making improper loans to directors contrary to specified statutory provisions).
Reference is made to Article TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation filed as Exhibit 4(a) to this Registration Statement.
Under the registrant's bylaws, the registrant agrees to indemnify its
directors and officers and every other person who it may indemnify under the
indemnification provisions for directors and officers of the New York Business
Corporation Law. In addition, the bylaws provide that any person who is made,
or threatened to be made, a party to or involved in an action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that he or his testator or intestate is or was
(or agreed to become) a director or officer of the registrant or is or was (or
agreed to serve) any other entity in any capacity will be indemnified by the
registrant unless a final judgment establishes that the director or officer (i)
acted in bad faith or was deliberately dishonest and such bad faith or
dishonesty was material to the matter adjudicated or (ii) gained a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. The bylaws
provide that the indemnification rights will be deemed to be "contract rights"
and continue after a person ceases to be a director or officer or after
rescission or modification of the bylaws with respect to prior occurring
events. They also provide directors and officers with the benefit of any
additional indemnification that may be permitted by later amendment to the New
York Business Corporation Law. The bylaws further provide for advancement of
expenses and specify procedures in seeking and obtaining indemnification.
Reference is made to Article VI of the bylaws filed as Exhibit 4(b) to this
Registration Statement.
The registrant has insurance to indemnify its directors and officers,
within the limits of its insurance policies, for those liabilities in respect
of which indemnification insurance is permitted under the laws of the State of
New York. The registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with
its officers and directors that specify the terms of its indemnification
obligations. In general, these indemnification agreements provide that the
4
registrant will indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent now
permitted under current law and to the extent that the law is amended to
increase the scope of permitted indemnification. They also provide for the
advance payment of expenses to a director or officer incurred in an
indemnifiable claim, subject to repayment if it is later determined that the
director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified. Under these agreements
the registrant agrees to reimburse the director or officer for any expenses
that he incurs in seeking to enforce his rights under the indemnification
agreement, and the registrant has the opportunity to participate in the defense
of any indemnifiable claims against the director or officer.
Reference is made to Sections 721-726 of the New York Business Corporation
Law, which are summarized below.
Section 721 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that
indemnification pursuant to the New York Business Corporation Law will not be
deemed exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer
may be entitled, provided that no indemnification may be made if a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that
(i) his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty, and, in either case, were material to the cause of
action so adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit
or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
Section 722(a) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify a person made, or threatened to be made, a party to
any civil or criminal action or proceeding, other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor but including an
action by or in the right of any other corporation or entity which any director
or officer served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason
of the fact that he or his testator or intestate was a director or officer of
the corporation or served such other entity in any capacity, against judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or
proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of
service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. With respect to
actions by or in the right of the corporation to procure judgment in its favor,
Section 722(c) of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that a person
who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or who is or was serving
as a director or officer of any other corporation or entity may be indemnified
only against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such an action, or any appeal therein, if such
director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in, or, in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and that no indemnification may be
made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is
settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and to
the extent an appropriate court determines that the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to partial or full indemnification.
Section 723 of the New York Business Corporation Law specifies the manner
in which the corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It
provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in
which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or
otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer
has not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification may be made
by the
5
corporation only if authorized by any of the corporate actions set forth in
Section 723 (unless the corporation has provided for indemnification in some
other manner as otherwise permitted by Section 721 of the New York Business
Corporation Law).
Section 724 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that upon
proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded
by a court to the extent authorized under Sections 722 and 723 of the New York
Business Corporation Law.
Section 725 of the New York Business Corporation Law contains certain
other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers, including provision for the return of amounts paid as indemnification
if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled to the
indemnification.
Section 726 of the New York Business Corporation Law authorizes the
purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (1) a corporation for any
obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and
officers under the above sections, (2) directors and officers in instances in
which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (3)
directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be
indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of
insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable
to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.

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; and
(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
Section 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.
7
(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 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 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.
