the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action
by or in the right of any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any
capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or

believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation, and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.

settled or otherwise disposed of, or any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged
liable to the corporation unless a court determines that an indemnity is proper in the
circumstances of the case.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;721 of the NYBCL provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article&nbsp;7
of the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision contained in the
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 were 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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;723 of the NYBCL specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under
Sections&nbsp;722 and 721 of the NYBCL may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that a
corporation shall indemnify a person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defending an action described in Section&nbsp;722. In other circumstances, unless ordered by a court
upon application of a director or officer under Section&nbsp;724 of the NYBCL, indemnification as
described above may only be made if it is authorized in each specific case. The board of directors
can authorize indemnification, either acting as a quorum of disinterested directors based upon a
determination that the applicable standard of conduct has been met or that indemnification is
proper under the NYBCL, or based upon an opinion by independent legal counsel that indemnification
is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct has been met, or if the
shareholders find that the applicable standard of conduct has been met.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;726 of the NYBCL permits the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify
(1)&nbsp;the corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of
directors and officers under sections outlined above, (2)&nbsp;directors and officers in instances in
which they may be indemnified by the corporation under such sections, and (3)&nbsp;directors and
officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under such
sections, provided 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.

Incorporation may include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of its
directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such
capacity, except liability if a judgment or final adjudication establishes that the director&#146;s 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&nbsp;719 of the NYBCL or liability if the act or omission

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post effective
amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the

to such information in the registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;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&#146;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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 registration of 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 4. Description of Securities.
Our common stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Article 7 of the New York Business Corporation Law ("NYBCL"), indemnify any and all persons whom we
shall have power to indemnify under said Article.
Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person made, or
threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action
by or in the right of any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any
capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate, was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney's
fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal
therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation, and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and
officers in relation to an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
3
Table of Contents
its favor in similar circumstances to those described in the preceding paragraph against amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of a threatened action, or a pending action which is
settled or otherwise disposed of, or any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged
liable to the corporation unless a court determines that an indemnity is proper in the
circumstances of the case.
Section 721 of the 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 the
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 were 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 723 of the NYBCL specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under
Sections 722 and 721 of the NYBCL may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that a
corporation shall indemnify a person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defending an action described in Section 722. In other circumstances, unless ordered by a court
upon application of a director or officer under Section 724 of the NYBCL, indemnification as
described above may only be made if it is authorized in each specific case. The board of directors
can authorize indemnification, either acting as a quorum of disinterested directors based upon a
determination that the applicable standard of conduct has been met or that indemnification is
proper under the NYBCL, or based upon an opinion by independent legal counsel that indemnification
is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct has been met, or if the
shareholders find that the applicable standard of conduct has been met.
Section 726 of the NYBCL permits the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify
(1) the corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of
directors and officers under sections outlined above, (2) directors and officers in instances in
which they may be indemnified by the corporation under such sections, and (3) directors and
officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the corporation under such
sections, provided 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.
In addition, Section 402(b) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation may include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of its
directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such
capacity, except liability if a judgment or final adjudication establishes that the director's 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 liability if the act or omission
occurred prior to the adoption of a provision authorized by this section. Our certificate of
4
Table of Contents
incorporation contains a provision explicitly authorizing a limitation on such liabilities as
permitted by Section 402(b).
Pursuant to each of the employment agreements with three of our executives, we are obligated
to indemnify such executive and hold him harmless against all costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, fines, excise taxes and reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities (other than
settlements to which we do not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
(collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim, action,
proceeding or investigation brought against or involving him with respect to, arising out of or in
any way relating to his employment with us or his service as our officer; provided, however, that
we are not required to indemnify him for Losses incurred as a result of his intentional misconduct
or gross negligence (other than matters where he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in and not opposed to our best interests). We also agreed to advance any and all
expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by
him in connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation, provided he first
enters into an appropriate agreement for repayment of such advances if indemnification is found not
to have been available.
We maintain a directors' and officers' insurance policy. The policy insures directors and
officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as
directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified
the directors and officers. The policy contains various exclusions, none of which apply to this
offering.

.
(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 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.
(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 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.
(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 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 registration of 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.
