</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, permits a
Delaware corporation to limit the personal liability of its directors in accordance with the
provisions set forth in that section. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
including reimbursement for expenses incurred arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the &#147;Restated
Certificate&#148;), and the registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws permit indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;NINTH of the Restated Certificate eliminates the personal liability of the
registrant&#146;s directors to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except for liability:

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(1)&nbsp;for breach of a director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders; (2)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
law; (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL; or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is subsequently amended to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the Restated Certificate
provides that the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;TENTH of the Restated Certificate sets forth the extent to which officers and
directors of the registrant may be indemnified against any liabilities which they may incur in
their capacities as directors or officers of the registrant. Article&nbsp;TENTH provides, in part, that
each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of
the registrant or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the registrant, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if the person seeking
indemnification initiated the proceeding in respect to which he or she is seeking indemnification
from the registrant, the registrant shall provide such indemnification only if such proceeding was
authorized by the registrant&#146;s board of directors. The right to indemnification includes the right
to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that if the DGCL so requires, the payment of such expenses in advance of the
final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the registrant of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of the relevant director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
executive officers and directors. The registrant also maintains an officers and directors liability
insurance policy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the registrant&#146;s
directors and executive officers and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from suing
directors or executive officers for breaches of their duty of care, even though such actions, if
successful, might otherwise benefit the registrant and its stockholders.

any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is

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.

.
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"
Commission
") are hereby incorporated by reference:
(a)
The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009, filed with the Commission on November 19, 2009 and as amended on Form 10-K/A
filed with the Commission on February 11, 2010, which contains audited financial
statements for the registrant's latest fiscal year for which such statements have been
filed.
(b)
The registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended

(c) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

Exchange Act
") since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Annual Report referred to in (a) above.
(d) The description of the registrant's common stock contained in the registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on August 5, 1988, including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment 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 this Registration Statement and to be
part hereof from the date of filing such documents. Unless expressly incorporated into this
Registration Statement, a report furnished but not filed on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
subsequently filed document which also 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 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, permits a
Delaware corporation to limit the personal liability of its directors in accordance with the
provisions set forth in that section. Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
including reimbursement for expenses incurred arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "Restated
Certificate"), and the registrant's amended and restated bylaws permit indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
Article NINTH of the Restated Certificate eliminates the personal liability of the
registrant's directors to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a
director's fiduciary duty, except for liability:
-2-
Table of Contents
(1) for breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders; (2) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
law; (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is subsequently amended to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the Restated Certificate
provides that the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Article TENTH of the Restated Certificate sets forth the extent to which officers and
directors of the registrant may be indemnified against any liabilities which they may incur in
their capacities as directors or officers of the registrant. Article TENTH provides, in part, that
each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of
the registrant or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the registrant, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if the person seeking
indemnification initiated the proceeding in respect to which he or she is seeking indemnification
from the registrant, the registrant shall provide such indemnification only if such proceeding was
authorized by the registrant's board of directors. The right to indemnification includes the right
to be paid expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that if the DGCL so requires, the payment of such expenses in advance of the
final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the registrant of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of the relevant director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification.
In addition, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
executive officers and directors. The registrant also maintains an officers and directors liability
insurance policy.
The foregoing may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the registrant's
directors and executive officers and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from suing
directors or executive officers for breaches of their duty of care, even though such actions, if
successful, might otherwise benefit the registrant and its stockholders.

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;
(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 hereof) 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% 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 paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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 registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference into 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 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.
