(the &#145;&#145;DGCL&#146;&#146;) grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right
of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good
faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an
amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the directors&#146; fiduciary duty of care,
except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors
for unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VIII
and Article&nbsp;IX of the Registrant&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provide that except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant shall be
personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director and that the Registrant may indemnify directors and officers of the
Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;IV of the Registrant&#146;s Third Amended and Restated By-laws provides that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to third party claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted and in the
manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect from time to time shall

threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether
civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative in nature (other than an action by or
in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant, or, if at a time when he or she was a director or officer of the
Registrant, is or was serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant
as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent (a &#145;&#145;Subsidiary

attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements), costs, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided,
however, that (i)&nbsp;the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer of the
Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity against expenses incurred in connection
with an action, suit, proceeding or investigation to which such person is threatened to be made a
party but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the approval of the Board
of Directors, a committee thereof or the Chairman, a Vice Chairman or the President of the
Registrant and (ii)&nbsp;the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in
settlement unless the Registrant has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good

interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a person shall not be
entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this paragraph against costs or
expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person
against the Registrant or any Affiliated Entity or any person who is or was a director, officer,
partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any
Affiliated Entity in their capacity as such, but such indemnification may be provided by the
Registrant in a specific case as permitted by the Third Amended and Restated By-laws.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Third Amended and Restated By-laws also provides that, with respect to
derivative claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted and in the manner required, by
the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect from time to time shall indemnify any person who
was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit (including any appeal thereof) brought by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation, or, if at a time when he or she was a director or officer
to the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the
Registrant as a Subsidiary Officer of an Affiliated Entity against expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless, and only to the extent that, the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such judgment was rendered shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses and costs as the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem
proper; provided, however, that the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or
officer of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity against expenses
incurred in connection with an action or suit to which such person is threatened to be made a party
but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the approval of the Board of
Directors, a committee thereof, or the Chairman, a Vice Chairman or the President of the
Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement.

such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

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.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the ''DGCL'') grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right
of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good
faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an
amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the directors' fiduciary duty of care,
except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors
for unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction
from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
II-1
Table of Contents
Article VIII
and Article IX of the Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provide that except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant shall be
personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director and that the Registrant may indemnify directors and officers of the
Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Article IV of the Registrant's Third Amended and Restated By-laws provides that:
With respect to third party claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted and in the
manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect from time to time shall
indemnify any person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether
civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative in nature (other than an action by or
in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant, or, if at a time when he or she was a director or officer of the
Registrant, is or was serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the Registrant
as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent (a ''Subsidiary
Officer'') of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise including any charitable or not-for-profit public service
organization or trade association (an ''Affiliated Entity''), against expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements), costs, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided,
however, that (i) the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer of the
Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity against expenses incurred in connection
with an action, suit, proceeding or investigation to which such person is threatened to be made a
party but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the approval of the Board
of Directors, a committee thereof or the Chairman, a Vice Chairman or the President of the
Registrant and (ii) the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in
settlement unless the Registrant has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action,
suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a person shall not be
entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this paragraph against costs or
expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such person
against the Registrant or any Affiliated Entity or any person who is or was a director, officer,
partner, member, fiduciary, employee or agent of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any
Affiliated Entity in their capacity as such, but such indemnification may be provided by the
Registrant in a specific case as permitted by the Third Amended and Restated By-laws.
The Registrant's Third Amended and Restated By-laws also provides that, with respect to
derivative claims, the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted and in the manner required, by
the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect from time to time shall indemnify any person who
was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit (including any appeal thereof) brought by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation, or, if at a time when he or she was a director or officer
to the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of, or to represent the interests of, the
Registrant as a Subsidiary Officer of an Affiliated Entity against expenses (including attorneys'
fees and disbursements) and costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless, and only to the extent that, the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such judgment was rendered shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses and costs as the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem
proper; provided, however, that the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or
officer of the Registrant or a Subsidiary Officer of any Affiliated Entity against expenses
incurred in connection with an action or suit to which such person is threatened to be made a party
but does not become a party unless such expenses were incurred with the approval of the Board of
Directors, a committee thereof, or the Chairman, a Vice Chairman or the President of the
Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, a
II-2
Table of Contents
person shall not be entitled, as a matter of right, to indemnification pursuant to this
paragraph against costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action or suit in the right of
the Registrant commenced by such Person, but such indemnification may be provided by the Registrant
in any specific case as permitted under the Third Amended and Restated By-laws.
The Registrant has also obtained officers' and directors' liability insurance which insures
against liabilities that officers and directors of the Registrant may, in such capacities, incur.

Undertakings
(a) Rule 415 offering. 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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) 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 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange of Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
II-3
Table of Contents
(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; and
(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 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
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.
