Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide generally for indemnification of its officers,
directors, agents and employees to the extent authorized by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (&#147;DGCL&#148;). Pursuant to Section 145 of
the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by
them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be
made, a part by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of a corporation, and with respect to suits by or in the
right of a corporation.&#160; However,
indemnification is not available if such person is adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation
unless the court determines that indemnification is appropriate. In addition, a
corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for such persons.
The statute also expressly provides that the power to indemnify authorized
thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.</font></p>

permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Registrant&#146;s stockholders have approved and incorporated provisions in the
Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation eliminating a director&#146;s personal
liability for monetary damages to the Registrant and its stockholders arising
from a breach of a director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except for liability under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or liability for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law or for any transaction in which the director derived
an improper personal benefit.</font></p>

indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling person 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 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.</font></p>

Notwithstanding

Current Reports on Form 8-K, including the related exhibits, is not
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement unless the applicable
Current Report on Form 8-K states otherwise.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not
applicable as the Registrant's Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel.
Martin
H. Dodd, Esq., who has opined on the validity of the registration of the
Securities, is the Registrant's Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
The
Registrant's bylaws provide generally for indemnification of its officers,
directors, agents and employees to the extent authorized by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL"). Pursuant to Section 145 of
the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by
them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be
made, a part by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of a corporation, and with respect to suits by or in the
right of a corporation.  However,
indemnification is not available if such person is adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation
unless the court determines that indemnification is appropriate. In addition, a
corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for such persons.
The statute also expressly provides that the power to indemnify authorized
thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
As
permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Registrant's stockholders have approved and incorporated provisions in the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminating a director's personal
liability for monetary damages to the Registrant and its stockholders arising
from a breach of a director's fiduciary duty, except for liability under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or liability for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law or for any transaction in which the director derived
an improper personal benefit.
The
above discussion of the Registrant's bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation
and of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such bylaws, Certificate of
Incorporation and statute.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
A.    (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
this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereto);
(iii)
To include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; and
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (A)(1)(i)
and (A)(1)(ii) of this section shall 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
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
herein, 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 that 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.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling person 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 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.
