entity at the request of the corporation. Article&nbsp;Fifth of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article&nbsp;VI of the Registrant&#146;s By-Laws provide for full indemnification of its
directors and officers to the extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains insurance policies indemnifying directors and officers against
certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such. Subject to the limits,
retentions, exceptions and other terms and conditions of the policy, the Registrant&#146;s directors and
officers are insured against liability for any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading
statement, act or omission in the discharge of their respective responsibilities to the Registrant
solely in their capacity as directors and officers of the Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
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 against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

reference:
•
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,
filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010;
•
our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and

purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which indicates
that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and
to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents (other than the portions of those
made pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K or other information "furnished" to the SEC).
Any statement, including financial statements, contained in a document incorporated or deemed

other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement
Item 4.
Description of Securities
.
The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware allows a corporation to limit
directors' personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders from monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with certain exceptions. Article Fourteenth of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides such limitation to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware permits a corporation, subject to the
standards set forth therein, to indemnify any person in connection with any action suit or
proceeding brought or threatened 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 as such with respect to another
entity at the request of the corporation. Article Fifth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provide for full indemnification of its
directors and officers to the extent permitted by Section 145.
The Registrant maintains insurance policies indemnifying directors and officers against
certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such. Subject to the limits,
retentions, exceptions and other terms and conditions of the policy, the Registrant's directors and
officers are insured against liability for any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading
statement, act or omission in the discharge of their respective responsibilities to the Registrant
solely in their capacity as directors and officers of the Registrant.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
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 against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 7.
Exemption From Registration Claimed
.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers and 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 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 and the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the SEC 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 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 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 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.
