fullest extent permitted by law, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or
proceeding, civil or criminal (including an action by or in the right of the Company or by the
right of any other corporation or business entity, which any director or officer of the Company
served in any capacity at the request of the Company), because he or she, or that person&#146;s testator
or intestate, was a director or officer of the Company, against judgments, fines, amounts pain 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, and the Company may pay, in advance
of final disposition of any such action or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
incurred by such person in defending such action or proceeding.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;II, Section&nbsp;11 of the Company&#146;s By-Laws also provides that a person shall be presumed
to be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission covered by the Company&#146;s By-Laws and
that the Company shall bear the burden of proof of establishing that a person is not entitled to
indemnification because of the failure to fulfill some requirement of New York law, the Company&#146;s

directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for any
breach of duty in the directors&#146; capacity as such, except: (a)&nbsp;if a judgment or final adjudication
adverse to such director establishes that his or her acts or omissions were in bad-faith or
involved intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law or that he or she personally gained

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;721-726 of the NYBCL provide that a director or officer of a New York corporation who
was or is a party or a threatened party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding (i)&nbsp;shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation for all expenses of
litigation when he is successful on the merits, (ii)&nbsp;may be indemnified by the corporation for
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement of, and reasonable expenses incurred in,
litigation (other than a derivative suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted
in good faith and for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
of the corporation (and, in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful), and (iii)&nbsp;may be indemnified by the corporation for amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses incurred in a derivative suit (i.e., a suit by a shareholder
alleging a breach of a duty owed to the corporation by a director or officer) even if he is not
successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith, for a purpose which he believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interest of the corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in
accordance with clause (iii)&nbsp;if he is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless a court determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled
to indemnification. The indemnification described in clauses (ii)&nbsp;and (iii)&nbsp;above and the

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article II, Section 11 of the Company's By-Laws requires the Company to indemnify, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or
proceeding, civil or criminal (including an action by or in the right of the Company or by the
right of any other corporation or business entity, which any director or officer of the Company
served in any capacity at the request of the Company), because he or she, or that person's testator
or intestate, was a director or officer of the Company, against judgments, fines, amounts pain in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as
a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, and the Company may pay, in advance
of final disposition of any such action or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by such person in defending such action or proceeding.
Article II, Section 11 of the Company's By-Laws also provides that a person shall be presumed
to be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission covered by the Company's By-Laws and
that the Company shall bear the burden of proof of establishing that a person is not entitled to
indemnification because of the failure to fulfill some requirement of New York law, the Company's
charter or the By-Laws.
Article Ninth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the New York Business Corporation Law (the "NYBCL"), the Company's
directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for any
breach of duty in the directors' capacity as such, except: (a) if a judgment or final adjudication
adverse to such director establishes that his or her acts or omissions were in bad-faith or
involved intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law or that he or she personally gained
a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled or that his or
her acts violated Section 719 of the NYBCL, or (b) for acts or omissions of such director prior to
the adoption of Article Ninth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Sections 721-726 of the NYBCL provide that a director or officer of a New York corporation who
was or is a party or a threatened party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding (i) shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation for all expenses of
litigation when he is successful on the merits, (ii) may be indemnified by the corporation for
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement of, and reasonable expenses incurred in,
litigation (other than a derivative suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted
in good faith and for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
of the corporation (and, in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful), and (iii) may be indemnified by the corporation for amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses incurred in a derivative suit (i.e., a suit by a shareholder
alleging a breach of a duty owed to the corporation by a director or officer) even if he is not
successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith, for a purpose which he believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interest of the corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in
accordance with clause (iii) if he is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless a court determines
that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled
to indemnification. The indemnification described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above and the
advancement of litigation expenses, may be made only upon a determination by (i) a majority of a
quorum of disinterested
directors, (ii) independent legal counsel, or (iii) the shareholders that indemnification is
proper because the applicable standard of conduct has been met. In addition, litigation expenses
to a director or officer may only be made upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer
to repay the expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by NYBCL Sections 721-726 are not
deemed exclusive of any rights the indemnitee may have under any by-law, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. When any action with respect to
indemnification of directors is taken by amendment to the by-laws, resolution of directors, or
agreement, the corporation must mail a notice of the action taken to its shareholders of record by
the earlier of (i) the date of the next annual meeting, or (ii) fifteen months after the date of
the action taken.
In addition, the Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance which

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 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) shall not apply to information
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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 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 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 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.
(c) 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
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 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.
