(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the Company) to which such person is a party or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or entity, so long as (a)&nbsp;such person acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful, or (b)&nbsp;such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
such action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein; provided,
however, that in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, indemnification is generally limited to expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit and is not available with respect to any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent
that the court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses that the court shall deem proper. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL expressly provides that the
indemnification authorized thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which a person
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL also gives the Company the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any of its present or former directors, officers, employees or agents, or any person who
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or entity, and the Company maintains directors and officers insurance policies
for the benefit of its directors, officers and employees.

Certain legal matters in connection with the validity of the Company's Class A Non-Voting Common

Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Welch is an employee and stockholder of the Company and

Article Eighth of the Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall indemnify its present or former directors and officers, and may indemnify any employee or
agent of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL"). Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company generally has the power to
indemnify each of its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the Company) to which such person is a party or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or entity, so long as (a) such person acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful, or (b) such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
such action, suit or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein; provided,
however, that in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, indemnification is generally limited to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit and is not available with respect to any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent
that the court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses that the court shall deem proper. Section 145 of the DGCL expressly provides that the
indemnification authorized thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which a person
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.
Section 145 of the DGCL also gives the Company the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any of its present or former directors, officers, employees or agents, or any person who
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or entity, and the Company maintains directors and officers insurance policies
for the benefit of its directors, officers and employees.

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
(5)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
