The statute generally requires that to obtain indemnification the director or officer must have acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and, additionally, in criminal proceedings, that the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be provided if the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless ordered by the court). Indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by a director or officer is required to the extent that such director or officer is successful on the merits in the defense of the proceeding.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Registrant&#8217;s Bylaws provide generally for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, of a director and officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a &#8220;proceeding&#8221;), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the company or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of certain other related entities. The Bylaws provide that the indemnification will cover all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred by the director or officer. The Bylaws further provide that a director or officer has the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending a proceeding, except the amount of any settlement, in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by us of an undertaking from the director or officer to repay the advances if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Registrant&#8217;s directors and officers are also covered by insurance policies indemnifying them (subject to certain limits and exclusions) against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant. Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to provisions of the Bylaws that may be adopted in the future, pursuant to the terms of agreements that may be entered into in the future or pursuant to a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:21px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><a name="sC66F0D9B36AC72DE7B9125BE285080D0"></a><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:21px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 8.&#160;&#160;Exhibits.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">See the Exhibit Index following the Signatures page in this Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.</font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">4</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s3889588D2B7AC38C610525BE287FED0F"></a><div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:21px;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 9.&#160;&#160;Undertakings.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:21px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(a)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:21px;text-align:left;text-indent:96px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(1)</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective        amendment to this Registration Statement:</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:21px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:192px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:144px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(i)</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:21px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:192px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;padding-left:144px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">(ii)</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">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.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the issuance of Common Stock registered hereby is passed on by Scott S. Cramer, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Registrant.  Mr. Cramer is compensated by the Registrant as an employee.  As of the date of the Registration Statement, Mr. Cramer owns 6,184 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, 10,457 shares of restricted stock that are payable in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock and stock options to acquire up to an additional 577 shares of Common Stock.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits corporations to indemnify directors and officers. The statute generally requires that to obtain indemnification the director or officer must have acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and, additionally, in criminal proceedings, that the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be provided if the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless ordered by the court). Indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by a director or officer is required to the extent that such director or officer is successful on the merits in the defense of the proceeding.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide generally for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, of a director and officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the company or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of certain other related entities. The Bylaws provide that the indemnification will cover all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred by the director or officer. The Bylaws further provide that a director or officer has the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending a proceeding, except the amount of any settlement, in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by us of an undertaking from the director or officer to repay the advances if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The Registrant's directors and officers are also covered by insurance policies indemnifying them (subject to certain limits and exclusions) against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant. Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to provisions of the Bylaws that may be adopted in the future, pursuant to the terms of agreements that may be entered into in the future or pursuant to a vote of shareholders or disinterested directors.
Item 8.  Exhibits.

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;
(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 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;
(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 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
5
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.
(h)     Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
