which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation&#151;a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person&#146;s
conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except
that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there
can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation&#146;s by-laws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement or
otherwise.

(i)&nbsp;for any breach of his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the General
Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit. This Article&nbsp;XI shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when
this Article&nbsp;XI becomes effective.&#148;

such capacity if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the event of an action or suit by or in
the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

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

Item 4. Description of Securities
.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") grants the Company the
power to limit the personal liability of its directors to the Company or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL grants to the Company the power to indemnify its directors and
officers, as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in
which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation—a "derivative action"), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except
that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there
can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's by-laws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement or
otherwise.
Article XI of the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended ("Certificate of
Incorporation"), provides for the limitation of personal liability of the directors of the Company
as follows:
"A director shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director;
provided that this sentence shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director
(i) for any breach of his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit. This Article XI shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when
this Article XI becomes effective."
-3-
Article VII of the Company's bylaws ("Bylaws") provides that the Company shall indemnify any
person who is serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of another entity
at the request of the Company against judgments, fines, settlements and other expenses incurred in
such capacity if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the event of an action or suit by or in
the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
The Company has obtained policies that insure its directors and officers against certain
liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under these policies, the
insurer, on behalf of the Company, also may pay amounts for which the Company has granted
indemnification to the directors or officers.
The above discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of
Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and
Bylaws. For additional information we refer you to the full text of the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Commission on March 16, 2010, as well as and the Bylaws

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 of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(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;
(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above 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 the
Registration Statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment should 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) that, for the 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 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 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 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 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.
