of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;Delaware Law&rdquo;) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&rsquo;s
Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;). Article&nbsp;VII of the Registrant&rsquo;s Certificate of Incorporation and Article&nbsp;VI
of the Registrant&rsquo;s Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant&rsquo;s directors and officers and authorize indemnification
of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its officers and directors.</P>

by Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to its directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the provisions referenced above 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by one of Registrant&rsquo;s directors, officers, or controlling persons 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 hereunder,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of Registrant&rsquo;s 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.</P>

PART
II
INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents
and information previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant are hereby incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2012 pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act").
(b)
The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2012.
(c) The description
of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission
on April 11, 1995 and as amended on Form 8-A/A filed with the Commission on June 15, 1995, registering such shares pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report updating such descriptions.
All documents filed
by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration
Statement, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or
which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's
Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Article VII of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Article VI
of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers and authorize indemnification
of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification
by Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to its directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the provisions referenced above 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by one of Registrant's directors, officers, or controlling persons 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 hereunder,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of Registrant's 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.

Not applicable.

(1) Incorporated by reference to the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement filed on April 1, 2010.
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;
(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 a 20 percent 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 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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with
or furnished to the Securities and Exchange 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 an 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 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 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.
