<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is a New York corporation and is subject to the New York Business Corporation
Law (the &#147;NYBCL&#148;). Section&nbsp;722 of the NYBCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person
made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including
an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or
any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any
director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that he was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any
capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, if such
director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;721 of the NYBCL provides
that the indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or
officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director of the
corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation
thereof is not permitted under the NYBCL. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that it shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless 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, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer
or employee of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer or employee of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such
proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, to the fullest extent authorized
by the NYBCL, against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such
person in connection therewith; provided, however, that subject to certain exceptions relating to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights of indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors. The right
to indemnification conferred in Registrant&#146;s bylaws is a contract right and shall include the right
to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that if required by law at the time of such payment, the payment

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

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 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 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is a New York corporation and is subject to the New York Business Corporation
Law (the "NYBCL"). Section 722 of the NYBCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person
made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including
an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or
any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any
director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that he was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any
capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, if such
director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 721 of the NYBCL provides
that the indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or
officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled.
The Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director of the
corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation
thereof is not permitted under the NYBCL. The Registrant's bylaws provide that it shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless 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, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer
or employee of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer or employee of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such
proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any
other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, to the fullest extent authorized
by the NYBCL, against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such
person in connection therewith; provided, however, that subject to certain exceptions relating to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights of indemnification, the Registrant shall indemnify any such
person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors. The right
to indemnification conferred in Registrant's bylaws is a contract right and shall include the right
to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that if required by law at the time of such payment, the payment
3
Table of Contents
of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or behalf of
such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately
that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
Section 726 of the NYBCL permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify
the corporation, directors and officers. The Registrant maintains directors' and officers'
liability insurance for its officers and directors.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of New York law dealing with
indemnification and liability of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete. It is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant statutes, which contain detailed, specific
provisions regarding the circumstances under which and the person for whose benefit indemnification
shall or may be made.

amendment by those paragraphs is contained in 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.
(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
5
Table of Contents
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 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.
