<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;4. Description of Securities</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description of the Company&#146;s &#147;obligations&#148; under the
Deferred Fee Plan is qualified by reference to the Deferred Fee Plan document,
a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement. The
Deferred Fee Plan is intended to provide the Company&#146;s non-management directors
with an opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation and
accumulate tax-deferred earnings (or losses) thereon. Each participant is an
unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to his or her own
Deferred Fee Plan benefits. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the
Deferred Fee Plan, any and all of the Company&#146;s assets shall be, and remain,
general, unpledged and unrestricted assets. The Company&#146;s obligations to pay
deferred compensation under the Deferred Fee Plan, which are referred to as the
&#147;obligations,&#148; shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay the
money in the future. The Deferred Fee Plan is unfunded for tax purposes and
for purposes of Title I of ERISA.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Deferred Fee Plan,
each participant may elect to defer all or a specified part of the compensation
payable to the participant for serving on the Board of Directors or any
committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The amount of compensation
to be deferred by each participant is based on elections made by the
participant in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Fee Plan. The amount
elected to be deferred will be used to purchase phantom units of the Company&#146;s
Common Stock (including fractional shares) using the fair market value of such
Common Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise be paid. The phantom
stock will be credited on each dividend payment date for the Company&#146;s Common
Stock with additional phantom Common Stock units determined by dividing the
aggregate cash dividend which would have been paid if the existing phantom
Common Stock units were actual shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock by the fair
market value of the Company&#146;s Common Stock as of the dividend payment date,
computed to four decimal places. For purposes of the Deferred Fee Plan, the
&#147;fair market value&#148; of one share or unit of the Company&#146;s Common Stock shall be
the closing sale price for a share of such Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the determination date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The obligations will become due in the event of the participant&#146;s
termination of service as a director of the Company, payable either in whole
shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock or cash, or a combination thereof, in a
lump sum or in ten substantially equal annual installments as elected by the
participant, subject to the participant&#146;s right to change such method of
distribution no later than twelve months prior to the first date deferred
compensation is to be paid. If a participant elects to receive payment from
his or her account in installments, the participant&#146;s account will continue to
accrue dividends (and appreciation or loss) during the installment period.
Dividends credited to a participant&#146;s account during the installment period
will be paid on the next installment payment date. The amount of cash to be
distributed under a participant&#146;s cash election shall be determined by
multiplying the number of phantom units in his or her account immediately
preceding the date of distribution by the closing price of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock for the immediately preceding trading day. Any portion of a
participant&#146;s account attributable to fractional shares of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock shall be paid in cash at the same time (or times) as the participant is
otherwise paid the amount his or her account


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to receive payments pursuant to the Deferred Fee Plan are not
transferable or assignable by a participant or a beneficiary, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by
reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar
corporate change, the Company will make such adjustments, if any, as it in its
sole discretion deems equitable in the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which a participant&#146;s phantom Common Stock Units are referenced,
such adjustments to be conclusive and binding upon all parties concerned.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Deferred Fee Plan may at anytime or from time to time be amended,
modified or terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company. No amendment,
modification or termination shall, without the consent of a participant,
adversely affect such participant&#146;s accruals on his or her prior elections.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the
request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or she
is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such
person has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any
criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or
in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to
any matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court
determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest
extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a
director of the Registrant will not be personally liable to the Registrant or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each of
its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an agent of the Registrant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each of
its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Registrant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to its bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase and
maintain a directors and officers liability policy to insure its officers and
directors against certain liabilities.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed 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.

deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering

Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration

<P align="left" style="margin-left:7%; font-size: 10pt">(iii)&nbsp;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;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, 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 by the registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.




<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 10pt">(2)&nbsp;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.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 10pt">(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at termination of the
offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant&#146;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&#146;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities
The following description of the Company's "obligations" under the
Deferred Fee Plan is qualified by reference to the Deferred Fee Plan document,
a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement. The
Deferred Fee Plan is intended to provide the Company's non-management directors
with an opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation and
accumulate tax-deferred earnings (or losses) thereon. Each participant is an
unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to his or her own
Deferred Fee Plan benefits. For purposes of the payment of benefits under the
Deferred Fee Plan, any and all of the Company's assets shall be, and remain,
general, unpledged and unrestricted assets. The Company's obligations to pay
deferred compensation under the Deferred Fee Plan, which are referred to as the
"obligations," shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay the
money in the future. The Deferred Fee Plan is unfunded for tax purposes and
for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Deferred Fee Plan,
each participant may elect to defer all or a specified part of the compensation
payable to the participant for serving on the Board of Directors or any
committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The amount of compensation
to be deferred by each participant is based on elections made by the
participant in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Fee Plan. The amount
elected to be deferred will be used to purchase phantom units of the Company's
Common Stock (including fractional shares) using the fair market value of such
Common Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise be paid. The phantom
stock will be credited on each dividend payment date for the Company's Common
Stock with additional phantom Common Stock units determined by dividing the
aggregate cash dividend which would have been paid if the existing phantom
Common Stock units were actual shares of the Company's Common Stock by the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock as of the dividend payment date,
computed to four decimal places. For purposes of the Deferred Fee Plan, the
"fair market value" of one share or unit of the Company's Common Stock shall be
the closing sale price for a share of such Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the determination date.
The obligations will become due in the event of the participant's
termination of service as a director of the Company, payable either in whole
shares of the Company's Common Stock or cash, or a combination thereof, in a
lump sum or in ten substantially equal annual installments as elected by the
participant, subject to the participant's right to change such method of
distribution no later than twelve months prior to the first date deferred
compensation is to be paid. If a participant elects to receive payment from
his or her account in installments, the participant's account will continue to
accrue dividends (and appreciation or loss) during the installment period.
Dividends credited to a participant's account during the installment period
will be paid on the next installment payment date. The amount of cash to be
distributed under a participant's cash election shall be determined by
multiplying the number of phantom units in his or her account immediately
preceding the date of distribution by the closing price of the Company's Common
Stock for the immediately preceding trading day. Any portion of a
participant's account attributable to fractional shares of the Company's Common
Stock shall be paid in cash at the same time (or times) as the participant is
otherwise paid the amount his or her account
The right to receive payments pursuant to the Deferred Fee Plan are not
transferable or assignable by a participant or a beneficiary, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.
In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by
reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar
corporate change, the Company will make such adjustments, if any, as it in its
sole discretion deems equitable in the number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which a participant's phantom Common Stock Units are referenced,
such adjustments to be conclusive and binding upon all parties concerned.
The Deferred Fee Plan may at anytime or from time to time be amended,
modified or terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company. No amendment,
modification or termination shall, without the consent of a participant,
adversely affect such participant's accruals on his or her prior elections.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the
request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and
expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or she
is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such
person has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any
criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or
in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to
any matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court
determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest
extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a
director of the Registrant will not be personally liable to the Registrant or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each of
its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that
such person is or was an agent of the Registrant.
The Registrant's bylaws provide that the Registrant must indemnify each of
its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Registrant.
Pursuant to its bylaws, the Registrant has the power to purchase and
maintain a directors and officers liability policy to insure its officers and
directors against certain liabilities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed 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.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable
Item 8. Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index on Page 6.
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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
3
Table of Contents
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% 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 by the registrant 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 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 termination of the
offering.
(b) The registrant hereby further 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
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 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
