provided they act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful, although in the case of proceedings brought by or on behalf of the
corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses and is not permitted if
the individual is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless the Delaware Court
of Chancery or the court in which such proceeding was brought determines
otherwise in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware). Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes a corporation to limit or eliminate its directors' liability to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duties, other than for (i) breaches of the duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violations of law, (iii) unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or
redemptions, or (iv) transactions from which a director derives an improper
personal benefit. In addition, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person
in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such.
Article
Fifth, Sections 3 and 4 of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provide as follows:
"The
Corporation shall indemnify all directors and officers of the Corporation to the
full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(and in particular Paragraph 145 thereof), as from time to time amended, and may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of such directors and officers. In
addition, the Corporation shall, in the manner and to the extent as the By-laws
of the Corporation shall provide, indemnify to the full extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (and in particular Paragraph
145 thereof), as from time to time amended, such other persons as the By-laws
shall provide, and may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of such other
persons."
"A
director of the Corporation shall not be held personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director; except for liability (i) for breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph by the
stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of any director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or for or
with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to, such repeal or
modification."
Article
6, Section 6.01 of the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws provides as
follows:
"Nature
of Indemnity. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to
become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has
agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity,
and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is
or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or
on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any
appeal therefrom, if he or she (x) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation and, in the case of any such employee or agent, in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be not in violation of any policies or directives of
the Corporation, and (y) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in
the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor (i) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (ii) no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication
of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The indemnification
under this Section 6.01 shall apply to all directors and officers of
the
Corporation
who sit on the boards of directors of non-profit corporations in keeping with
the Corporation's philosophy."
"The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful."
As
permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
and the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended
and Restated By-Laws, the Company also maintains a directors and officers
liability insurance policy which insures, subject to certain exclusions,
deductibles and maximum amounts, directors and officers of the Company against
damages, judgments, settlements and costs incurred by reason of certain acts
committed by such persons in their capacities as directors and
officers.

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 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 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 the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs
(1)(i) and (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 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.
(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 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 the
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 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.
