<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sections 721 through 725 of the Business Corporation Law
of the State of New York (the &#147;BCL&#148;), in which Forest is incorporated, permit
New York corporations, acting through their boards of directors, to extend
broad protection to their directors, officers and other employees by way of
indemnity and advancement of expenses.&#160;
These sections (1) provide that the statutory indemnification provisions
of the BCL are not exclusive, provided that no indemnification may be made to or
on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in
bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were
material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not entitled, (2)
establish procedures for indemnification and advancement of expenses that may
be contained in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or, when authorized
by either of the foregoing, set forth in a resolution of the shareholders or
directors or an agreement providing for indemnification and advancement of
expenses, (3) apply a single standard for statutory indemnification for
third-party and derivative suits by providing that indemnification is available
if the director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and, in
criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful, (4) eliminate the requirement for mandatory statutory indemnification
that the indemnified party be &#147;wholly&#148; successful, and (5) provide for the
advancement of litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such
advance if the director or officer is ultimately determined not to be entitled
to indemnification.&#160; Section 726 of the
BCL permits the purchase of insurance to indemnify a corporation or its
officers and directors to the extent permitted.&#160;
Essentially, the BCL allows corporations to provide for indemnification
of directors, officers and employees except in those cases where a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the indemnified party establishes that the
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty or that the indemnified party personally gained a financial profit
or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Forest&#146;s certificate of incorporation contains a provision
eliminating the liability of the directors for breach of duty unless a judgment
or other final adjudication establishes that: (1) the director&#146;s acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (2) the director personally gained in fact a financial profit
or other advantage to which the director was not legally entitled; or, (3) the
director&#146;s acts violate Section 719 of the BCL.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Article IX of Forest&#146;s bylaws contains very broad
indemnification provisions which permit Forest to avail itself of the amended
BCL to extend broad protection to its directors, officers and employees by way
of indemnity and advancement of expenses.&#160;
It sets out the standard under which Forest will indemnify directors and
officers, provides for reimbursement in such instances, for the advancement or
reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in defending an action, and for
the extension of indemnity to persons other than directors and officers,
provides for reimbursement in such instances, for the advancement or
reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in defending an action, and for
the extension of indemnity to persons other than directors and officers.&#160; It also establishes the manner of handling
indemnification when a lawsuit is settled.&#160;
It is not intended that this bylaw is an exclusive method of
indemnification.</font></p>

registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of 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.</font></p>

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the shares of common stock covered by
this Registration Statement has been passed upon by Forest by Cyrus D. Marter
IV, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Forest.  As of the date of this Registration
Statement, Mr. Marter beneficially owns 28,088 shares of Forest common stock
(including restricted shares subject to forfeiture provisions) and holds
options to acquire 31,800 shares of Forest common stock under the terms of our
stock incentive plans.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 721 through 725 of the Business Corporation Law
of the State of New York (the "BCL"), in which Forest is incorporated, permit
New York corporations, acting through their boards of directors, to extend
broad protection to their directors, officers and other employees by way of
indemnity and advancement of expenses. 
These sections (1) provide that the statutory indemnification provisions
of the BCL are not exclusive, provided that no indemnification may be made to or
on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in
bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were
material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not entitled, (2)
establish procedures for indemnification and advancement of expenses that may
be contained in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or, when authorized
by either of the foregoing, set forth in a resolution of the shareholders or
directors or an agreement providing for indemnification and advancement of
expenses, (3) apply a single standard for statutory indemnification for
third-party and derivative suits by providing that indemnification is available
if the director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and, in
criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful, (4) eliminate the requirement for mandatory statutory indemnification
that the indemnified party be "wholly" successful, and (5) provide for the
advancement of litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such
advance if the director or officer is ultimately determined not to be entitled
to indemnification.  Section 726 of the
BCL permits the purchase of insurance to indemnify a corporation or its
officers and directors to the extent permitted. 
Essentially, the BCL allows corporations to provide for indemnification
of directors, officers and employees except in those cases where a judgment or
other final adjudication adverse to the indemnified party establishes that the
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty or that the indemnified party personally gained a financial profit
or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
Forest's certificate of incorporation contains a provision
eliminating the liability of the directors for breach of duty unless a judgment
or other final adjudication establishes that: (1) the director's acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (2) the director personally gained in fact a financial profit
or other advantage to which the director was not legally entitled; or, (3) the
director's acts violate Section 719 of the BCL.
Article IX of Forest's bylaws contains very broad
indemnification provisions which permit Forest to avail itself of the amended
BCL to extend broad protection to its directors, officers and employees by way
of indemnity and advancement of expenses. 
It sets out the standard under which Forest will indemnify directors and
officers, provides for reimbursement in such instances, for the advancement or
reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in defending an action, and for
the extension of indemnity to persons other than directors and officers,
provides for reimbursement in such instances, for the advancement or
reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred in defending an action, and for
the extension of indemnity to persons other than directors and officers.  It also establishes the manner of handling
indemnification when a lawsuit is settled. 
It is not intended that this bylaw is an exclusive method of
indemnification.
We carry directors and officers liability coverages
designed to insure our officers and directors and those of our subsidiaries
against certain liabilities incurred by them in the performance of their
duties, and also providing for reimbursement in certain cases to us and our
subsidiaries for sums paid to directors and officers as indemnification for
similar liability.

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 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 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 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; and
(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 registration statement is on Form S-8, Form S-3 or Form F-3, and
the information required to be included in
5
the post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (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
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; and
(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 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
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of 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.
