of Directors and Officers </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company is incorporated in Delaware. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified
circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection
with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right
of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers,
employees or agents, against expenses and liabilities incurred in any such action, suit or
proceedings so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of such corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. With respect to suits by or in the right of such corporation, however,
indemnification is generally limited to attorneys&#146; fees and other expenses and is not
available if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation unless the court
determines that indemnification is appropriate. A Delaware corporation also has the power
to purchase and maintain insurance for such persons. The Company&#146;s restated
certificate of incorporation and bylaws permit indemnification of directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Reference is made to the
Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
the Company has acquired directors and officers insurance in the amount of $8,000,000,
which includes coverage for liability under the federal securities laws. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that
such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach
of the director&#146;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) under Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the DGCL or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation contains such a provision. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
above discussion of the Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and
Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified
in its entirety by such restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and statutes. </FONT></P>

          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 provisions set forth in Item 6, 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 a 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. </FONT></P>

(1) Effective  May 18,  2004,  the  stockholders  of the  registrant  approved  an  amendment  and  restatement  of the
registrant's  1999 Stock Option and Retention Stock Plan,  which amendment and restatement  increased the number of
shares  reserved for issuance  under the plan from  1,300,000  shares to 2,500,000  shares.  The initial  1,300,000
reserved shares were registered on Form S-8 Registration  Statement No.  333-94387 which became  effective  January
11, 2000.  This registration statement covers the additional 1,200,000 reserved shares.
(2) On May 18, 2004, the stockholders of the registrant  approved the  registrant's  2004  Non-Employee  Director Stock
Option Plan and the  reservation  of 250,000  shares for issuance  thereunder.  These  shares  consist of (i) 7,692

(ii) 242,308 shares issuable upon exercise of options to be granted in the future.

similar  transaction  effected without the receipt of  consideration  which results in an increase in the number of
the outstanding shares of common stock of the registrant.
(4) Estimated  solely for the purpose of computing the  registration  fee. This amount was  calculated  pursuant to
Rules 457(c) and (h)(1) under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  based upon the average of the high and low
prices of the registrant's  common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange,  on June 3, 2004 with respect
to 1,442,308 shares and based on the price at which options may be exercised with respect to 7,692 shares.

Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
The
Company is incorporated in Delaware. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "DGCL"), a Delaware corporation has the power, under specified
circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection
with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right
of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers,
employees or agents, against expenses and liabilities incurred in any such action, suit or
proceedings so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of such corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. With respect to suits by or in the right of such corporation, however,
indemnification is generally limited to attorneys' fees and other expenses and is not
available if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation unless the court
determines that indemnification is appropriate. A Delaware corporation also has the power
to purchase and maintain insurance for such persons. The Company's restated
certificate of incorporation and bylaws permit indemnification of directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Reference is made to the
Company's restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
Additionally,
the Company has acquired directors and officers insurance in the amount of $8,000,000,
which includes coverage for liability under the federal securities laws.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that
such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (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) under Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized
acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the DGCL or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company's restated certificate of incorporation contains such a provision.
The
above discussion of the Company's restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and
Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified
in its entirety by such restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and statutes.

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 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 the 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 a form of prospectus filed with the
               Securities and Exchange 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; 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 the undertakings set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above 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 Securities and Exchange
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 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.
(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 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 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 Securities Act of
          1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
          registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth in Item 6, 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 a 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.
