includes a provision that eliminates, to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors&#146;
fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading
to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law,
such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

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.

statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the issuance of the shares of common stock to be
registered in connection with this registration statement will
be passed upon by Stanley F. Baldwin, Executive Vice President,
General Counsel and Secretary of the Registrant.
Mr. Baldwin directly or indirectly owns 1,400 shares
of Common Stock and has options to acquire an aggregate of
102,568 shares of Common Stock.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") authorizes a corporation's board of
directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for
expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by Delaware law, Article Sixth of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to
the Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File
II-1
No. 333-108831), which is incorporated herein by reference,
includes a provision that eliminates, to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors'
fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading
to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of
dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that
are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law,
such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.
As permitted by Delaware law, Article Seventh of the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that (1) the Registrant is required
to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by law, subject to certain very limited
exceptions; (2) the Registrant is permitted, to the extent
authorized by its board of directors, to provide rights to
indemnification to its employees and agents similar to those
conferred to its directors and officers; (3) the Registrant
is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors
and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain
very limited exceptions; and (4) the rights conferred in
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are not
exclusive.
As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant's Amended and
Restated By-Laws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2
to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File
No. 333-108831), which is incorporated herein by reference,
provides that (1) the Registrant is required to indemnify
its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by
the DGCL, subject to certain very limited exceptions;
(2) the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as
incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a
legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law, subject to certain very limited exceptions; and
(3) the rights to indemnification conferred in the Amended
and Restated By-Laws are not exclusive.
As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant has entered into
indemnification agreements with all of its directors and
executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided
for in the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws, and intends to
enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and
executive officers in the future.
As permitted by the Delaware law, the Registrant's Amended
and Restated By-Laws provides the Registrant with the authority
to purchase insurance covering the Registrant's directors
and officers against any such expense, liability or loss
asserted against them in their capacity as such.

Item 9.
Required 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 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 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 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 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 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver
or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report,
to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required
to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not
set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be
delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such
interim financial information.
(d) 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.
