of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, eliminates the personal liability for monetary damages of directors under certain
circumstances and provides indemnification to directors, officers and other employees of the Company to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL. The Company has also executed indemnification agreements with the directors, officers and certain other employees
of the Company. Such indemnification agreements contain provisions which purport to provide indemnification, where not limited
by applicable law, for amounts paid by such individuals in settlement of shareholder derivative actions. Additionally, the Company
maintains customary directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance.</P>

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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

PART I
INCORPORATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION
10(a) PROSPECTUS
As permitted by the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), this Registration Statement omits the information specified in Part I of
Form S-8. The documents containing the information specified in Part I will be delivered to the participants in the plan as required
by Rule 428(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Such documents are not being
filed with the Commission as part of this Registration Statement or as a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424.
These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof,
taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents or designated portions
thereof are incorporated herein by reference in this Registration Statement:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012;
(b) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013;
(c) The Company's Current Reports on Form
8-K filed on March 7
, 2013
and April 25, 2013 (except that any portions thereof which are furnished
and not filed shall not be deemed incorporated); and
(d) The Company's description of Common Stock
contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 17, 1991, as modified by the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated March 10, 2005.
All documents subsequently filed by the
registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or which
deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and
to be a 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
Reference is made to Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), which provides for indemnification of directors, officers and
other employees in certain circumstances, and to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which provides for the elimination or limitation
of the personal liability for monetary damages of directors under certain circumstances. Article Tenth of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, eliminates the personal liability for monetary damages of directors under certain
circumstances and provides indemnification to directors, officers and other employees of the Company to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL. The Company has also executed indemnification agreements with the directors, officers and certain other employees
of the Company. Such indemnification agreements contain provisions which purport to provide indemnification, where not limited
by applicable law, for amounts paid by such individuals in settlement of shareholder derivative actions. Additionally, the Company
maintains customary directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index.
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 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; 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
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 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 herein, 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 further
undertakes that, for the 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 that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
