corporation organized under Delaware law, such as the registrant, the power to indemnify its
directors and officers in certain circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s By-laws, as amended, and Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation,
as amended, provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the extent permitted by
Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. Additionally, the registrant&#146;s By-laws and Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provide that a director of the registrant shall not be personally
liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for the breach of any fiduciary
duty as director, except (a)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the registrant or
its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, or (d)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant has also entered into or will enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and senior officers. These agreements generally obligate the registrant to
indemnify such persons for liability incurred by them as a result of their services as directors or
officers, subject to limited exceptions. In addition, the registrant maintains policies of
insurance under which its directors and officers are insured, subject to specified exclusions,
deductible amounts and policy limits, against loss arising from any claim which may be made against
any of its directors or officers by reason of any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or act done or alleged to have been done while acting in the scope of their respective
duties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except to the extent set forth above, there is no provision of the By-laws, Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, contract, arrangement or statute under which any director or
officer of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he
may incur in his capacity as such.

is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being

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.

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL"), grants each
corporation organized under Delaware law, such as the registrant, the power to indemnify its
directors and officers in certain circumstances.
The registrant's By-laws, as amended, and Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation,
as amended, provide for indemnification of its directors and officers to the extent permitted by
Section 145 of the DGCL. Additionally, the registrant's By-laws and Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provide that a director of the registrant shall not be personally
liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for the breach of any fiduciary
duty as director, except (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or
its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The registrant has also entered into or will enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and senior officers. These agreements generally obligate the registrant to
indemnify such persons for liability incurred by them as a result of their services as directors or
officers, subject to limited exceptions. In addition, the registrant maintains policies of
insurance under which its directors and officers are insured, subject to specified exclusions,
deductible amounts and policy limits, against loss arising from any claim which may be made against
any of its directors or officers by reason of any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or act done or alleged to have been done while acting in the scope of their respective
duties.
Except to the extent set forth above, there is no provision of the By-laws, Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, contract, arrangement or statute under which any director or
officer of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he
may incur in his capacity as such.

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 (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 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 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 20
percent 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) of this section do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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 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 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
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Greenwich, State of Connecticut, on this 22nd day of December,
2010.
