civil or criminal, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable

such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed

corporation. It provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in
which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in
defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has not been successful or
the action is settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate

Article XII of the Company&#146;s By-Laws provides, in part, that the Company
shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action
or proceeding, whether civil or criminal (other than one by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), 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, officer or employee of the corporation served in
any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, including excise taxes,
amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees,
incurred in connection with any such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of such
person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person
establishes that (i) his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of
his active or deliberate dishonesty and were material to such action or
proceeding or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled. </FONT> </P>

to the foregoing exceptions, the Company must also indemnify any person described above
who is made or threatened to be made a party to an action by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against amounts paid in settlement and
expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred in connection with such action or any

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending an action or proceeding will be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of
any undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount advanced
in case he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where
indemnity is granted, to the extent the expenses so paid exceed the indemnification to
which he or she is entitled. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses is
enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the
Company denies his or her request or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Article VIII of the Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no person who is or was a director of the Company shall have
personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty
in such capacity, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the liability of any such
person (i) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to him establishes that his
acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law or that he personally gained, in fact, a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled or that his acts violated Section 719 of
the NYBCL or (ii) for any act or omission occurring prior to the adoption of such Article
VIII. No amendment to or repeal of Article VIII shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any such person to the Company for or with respect to
any acts or omissions of such person occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the
NYBCL is amended hereafter to expand or limit the liability of a director, then the
liability of a person who is or was a director of the Company shall be deemed to be
expanded to the extent required or limited to the extent permitted by the NYBCL, as so
amended. </FONT> </P>

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
          permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
          to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in
          the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
          expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
          claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
          the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
          person of the Company 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 Company 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 1933 Act and
          will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

II-1
Item 6.      
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
New
York Business Corporation Law.
Section 721 of the New York Business Corporation Law
("NYBCL") provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article 7 of
the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision contained in
its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or by a duly authorized resolution of its
shareholders or directors or by agreement, provided that no indemnification may be made to
or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse
to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and material to the cause of action, or
that such director or officer personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
Section
722(a) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made,
or threatened to be made, a party to any action other than a derivative action, whether
civil or criminal, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable
expenses actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action, 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,
in addition, has no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section
722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, made
or threatened to be made a party in a derivative action, against amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or in connection with an appeal therein 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, except that no
indemnification will be available under Section 722(c) of the NYBCL in respect of a
threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of or any claim as to
which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless
and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action
was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines, upon application, that, in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as
the court deems proper.
Section
723 of the NYBCL specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under Section
722 of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted under Section 721 of the NYBCL may be
authorized by the corporation. It provides that indemnification may be authorized by the
corporation. It provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in
which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in
defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has not been successful or
the action is settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate
action as set forth in Section 723.
Section
724 of the NYBCL provides that, upon application by a director or officer, indemnification
may be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Section 722, and Section 723 of
the NYBCL contains certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of
directors and officers.
II-2
Section
726 of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (1) a
corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of
directors and officers under the above section, (2) directors and officers in instances in
which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such section, and (3) directors and
officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation
under such section, provided that the contract of insurance covering such directors and
officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of
Insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.
By-Laws.
Article XII of the Company's By-Laws provides, in part, that the Company
shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action
or proceeding, whether civil or criminal (other than one by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), 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, officer or employee of the corporation served in
any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, including excise taxes,
amounts paid in settlement and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection with any such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of such
person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person
establishes that (i) his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of
his active or deliberate dishonesty and were material to such action or
proceeding or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
Subject
to the foregoing exceptions, the Company must also indemnify any person described above
who is made or threatened to be made a party to an action by or in the right of the
Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against amounts paid in settlement and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such action or any
appeal thereof.
Expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending an action or proceeding will be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of
any undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount advanced
in case he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where
indemnity is granted, to the extent the expenses so paid exceed the indemnification to
which he or she is entitled. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses is
enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the
Company denies his or her request or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days.
If
Article XII of the By-Laws or any portion thereof is invalidated on any ground by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the Company must nevertheless indemnify each director or
officer to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of the By-Laws that has not
been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
II-3
Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.
Article VIII of the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that no person who is or was a director of the Company shall have
personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty
in such capacity, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the liability of any such
person (i) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to him establishes that his
acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law or that he personally gained, in fact, a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled or that his acts violated Section 719 of
the NYBCL or (ii) for any act or omission occurring prior to the adoption of such Article
VIII. No amendment to or repeal of Article VIII shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any such person to the Company for or with respect to
any acts or omissions of such person occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the

Item 9.      Undertakings.
(a)  
          The undersigned Company 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 1933 Act;
(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. 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 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to
               such information in this 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 clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
II-5
(2)  
          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
          liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
          pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 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.
(c)  
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
          permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
          to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in
          the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
          expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
          claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
          the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
          person of the Company 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 Company 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 1933 Act and
          will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-6
