the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings,
in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;722(c) of the
NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made, or
threatened to be made, a party in a derivative action, against amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, actually and
necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, or in connection with an appeal therein if such director or
officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
will be available under Section&nbsp;722(c) of the NYBCL in respect of
(1)&nbsp;a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed
of, or (2)&nbsp;any claim as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the
court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court
of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application, that, in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as
the court deems proper.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;723 of the NYBCL
specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under Section&nbsp;722
of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted under Section&nbsp;721 of the NYBCL
may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that indemnification by a
corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been
successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the
event that the director or officer has not been successful or the action is
settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate action
as set forth in Section&nbsp;723.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;724 of the NYBCL
provides that, upon application by a director or officer, indemnification may
be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Section&nbsp;722 and
Section&nbsp;723 of the NYBCL. Section&nbsp;725 of the NYBCL contains certain
other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Section&nbsp;726 of the NYBCL
authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify
(1)&nbsp;a corporation for any obligation that it incurs as a result of the
indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of Article 7 of
the NYBCL, (2)&nbsp;directors and officers in instances in which they may be
indemnified by a corporation under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL,
and (3)&nbsp;directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise
be indemnified by a corporation under such section, provided the contract of
insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable
to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.</FONT></P>

or officer of the Company, is or was serving or has agreed to serve such
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise in any capacity, against (i)&nbsp;judgments, fines,

(ii)&nbsp;costs, charges and expenses, including attorney&#146;s fees, incurred in
connection with such proceeding,<I> provided</I>,<I> however</I>, that no
indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer and from which there is
no further right to appeal establishes that (i)&nbsp;his or her acts were
committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or
(ii)&nbsp;he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as provided in Paragraph E with respect to a suit to
enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this
Article XI, the Company shall be required to indemnify a director or officer
under this Paragraph A in connection with any suit (or part thereof)
initiated by such person only if such suit (or part thereof) was authorized

under Paragraph A, a director or officer of the Company shall submit to the

indemnification and that is reasonably available to such person. Upon receipt
by the Company of a written request for indemnification, if required by the

request shall be made (i)&nbsp;by the Board of Directors, acting by a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding upon a finding
that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the New York Business Corporation Law, or (ii)&nbsp;if a quorum of
such disinterested directors is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by the Board of Directors upon
the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the New York Business Corporation
Law or by the shareholders upon a finding that such person has met such
standard of conduct. The determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall be made, and such indemnification shall be paid in full, within 90 days
after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company.
Upon making a request for indemnification, a director or officer shall be
presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the burden of establishing
that a director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under this
Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.</FONT></P>

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section 721 of the New
York Business Corporation Law – hereinafter referred to as the "NYBCL" –
provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article 7 of the
NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision
contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or by a duly
authorized resolution of its shareowners or directors or by agreement,
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 such director or officer personally gained in
fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
entitled.
Section 722(a) of the
NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made, or
threatened to be made, a party to any action other than a derivative action,
whether civil or criminal, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement
and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily
incurred as a result of such action, if such director or officer acted in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings,
in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 722(c) of the
NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made, or
threatened to be made, a party in a derivative action, against amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action, or in connection with an appeal therein if such director or
officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
will be available under Section 722(c) of the NYBCL in respect of
(1) a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed
of, or (2) any claim as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the
court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court
of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application, that, in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as
the court deems proper.
2
Section 723 of the NYBCL
specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under Section 722
of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted under Section 721 of the NYBCL
may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that indemnification by a
corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been
successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the
event that the director or officer has not been successful or the action is
settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate action
as set forth in Section 723.
Section 724 of the NYBCL
provides that, upon application by a director or officer, indemnification may
be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Section 722 and
Section 723 of the NYBCL. Section 725 of the NYBCL contains certain
other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers.
Section 726 of the NYBCL
authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify
(1) a corporation for any obligation that it incurs as a result of the
indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of Article 7 of
the NYBCL, (2) directors and officers in instances in which they may be
indemnified by a corporation under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL,
and (3) directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise
be indemnified by a corporation under such section, provided the contract of
insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable
to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and
for co-insurance.
Section 6 of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides in part as
follows:
A person who is or was a
director of the corporation shall have no personal liability to the
corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such
capacity except that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit liability
where such liability is imposed under the Business Corporation Law of the
State of New York.
Article XI of the Company's
By-Laws, as amended, provides, in part, as follows:
A.
The Company shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may
hereafter be in effect, indemnify any person who is or was or has agreed to
become a director or officer of the Company and who is or was made or threatened
to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry,
investigation, hearing or other proceeding (including any appeal therein),
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, legislative or
otherwise including an action by or in the right of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor and an action by or in the right of any other
corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which such
person is serving, has served or has agreed to serve in any capacity at the
request of the Company, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has
agreed to become a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director
or officer of the Company, is or was serving or has agreed to serve such
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise in any capacity, against (i) judgments, fines,
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, taxes or penalties, and
(ii) costs, charges and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in
connection with such proceeding,
provided
,
however
, that no
indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer and from which there is
no further right to appeal establishes that (i) his or her acts were
committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or
(ii) he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as provided in Paragraph E with respect to a suit to
enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this
Article XI, the Company shall be required to indemnify a director or officer
under this Paragraph A in connection with any suit (or part thereof)
initiated by such person only if such suit (or part thereof) was authorized
by the Board of Directors.
B.
In addition to the right to
indemnification conferred by Paragraph A, a director or officer of the
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same
exists or may hereafter be in effect, also have the right to be paid by the
Company the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of the
final disposition of such proceeding upon delivery to the Company of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any amounts so advanced
if (i) such person is ultimately found, under the procedure set forth in
Paragraph C or by a court of competent jurisdiction, not to be entitled to
indemnification under this Article XI or otherwise, or (ii) where
indemnification is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced by the
Company exceed the indemnification to which such person is entitled.
3
C.
To receive indemnification
under Paragraph A, a director or officer of the Company shall submit to the
Company a written request, which shall include documentation or information
that is necessary to determine the entitlement of such person to
indemnification and that is reasonably available to such person. Upon receipt
by the Company of a written request for indemnification, if required by the
New York Business Corporation Law, a determination with respect to the
request shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors, acting by a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding upon a finding
that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in the New York Business Corporation Law, or (ii) if a quorum of
such disinterested directors is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by the Board of Directors upon
the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because the director or officer has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the New York Business Corporation
Law or by the shareholders upon a finding that such person has met such
standard of conduct. The determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall be made, and such indemnification shall be paid in full, within 90 days
after a written request for indemnification has been received by the Company.
Upon making a request for indemnification, a director or officer shall be
presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the burden of establishing
that a director or officer is not entitled to indemnification under this
Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.
D.
To receive an advancement
of expenses under Paragraph B, a director or officer shall submit to the
Company a written request, which shall reasonably evidence the expenses
incurred by such person and shall include the undertaking required by
Paragraph B. Expenses shall be paid in full within 30 days after a written
request for advancement has been received by the Company.
E.
If a claim for
indemnification or advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Company
or on its behalf within the time frames specified in Paragraph C or D, as
applicable, a director or officer of the Company may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Company in a court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in
any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement
of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, such person shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.
In any suit brought by a director or officer of the Company to enforce a
right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article XI, or
brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this
Article XI or otherwise shall be on the Company.
F.
The rights conferred by
this Article XI shall be contract rights and shall vest at the time a person
agrees to become a director or officer of the Company. Such rights shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the
Company and shall extend to the heirs and legal representatives of such
person. Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article XI shall
not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any director or officer
in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal
or modification.
The Registrant has purchased
certain liability insurance for its officers and directors as permitted by
Section 726 of the NYBCL.
