Pursuant to the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Common Stock issued

<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally,
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
&#147;DGCL&#148;) permits a corporation to indemnify certain persons made a
party to an action, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. To the
extent that person has been successful in any such matter, that person shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him. In the
case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may
be made in respect of any matter as to which that person was adjudged liable
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which the action was brought determines that despite the adjudication of
liability that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for proper
expenses.  </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to include a provision in
its certificate of incorporation limiting a director&#146;s liability to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty as a director. The Registrant has adopted a provision in its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation that provides for such limitation to the full
extent permitted under Delaware law.  </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for
indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
law and further provide that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, contract or vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors. The indemnification and advances of expenses provisions continue with
respect to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent
and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.  </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain directors
and executive officers of the Registrant. These agreements provide that the
directors and executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest possible
extent permitted by Delaware law against all expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees), judgments, fines, penalties, taxes and settlement amounts paid or
incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the
right of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, on account of

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 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.  </FONT></TD>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officer
s.
Generally,
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify certain persons made a
party to an action, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. To the
extent that person has been successful in any such matter, that person shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him. In the
case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may
be made in respect of any matter as to which that person was adjudged liable
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which the action was brought determines that despite the adjudication of
liability that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for proper
expenses.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to include a provision in
its certificate of incorporation limiting a director's liability to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty as a director. The Registrant has adopted a provision in its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation that provides for such limitation to the full
extent permitted under Delaware law.
The
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for
indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
law and further provide that the indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, contract or vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors. The indemnification and advances of expenses provisions continue with
respect to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent
and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain directors
and executive officers of the Registrant. These agreements provide that the
directors and executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest possible
extent permitted by Delaware law against all expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines, penalties, taxes and settlement amounts paid or
incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the
right of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, on account of
their service as directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the
Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and their service at the
request of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as directors,
officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
The
Registrant maintains liability insurance for its officers and directors,
insuring them against certain losses arising from claims or charges made against
them while acting in their capacities as officers or directors of the
Registrant.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed
.
Not
applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
.
The
Exhibits required to be filed as part of this Registration Statement are listed
in the Index to Exhibits set forth below.
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 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 percent 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 the foregoing 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 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; 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 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 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of New York and State of New York on the 30th day of January 2002.
