(b)
The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2009, filed with the Commission on April 29, 2009, as amended, and June 30, 2009, filed with the Commission on August 6, 2009 (each, Commission File No. 001-12040);

Item 4.          Description of Securities
The Company's Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.  Therefore, the description of securities is omitted.
Item 5.          Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the issuance of the Common Stock registered hereby is passed on for the Company by Michael Newman.  Mr. Newman is the Company's Executive Vice President and General Counsel and is compensated by the Company as an employee. Mr. Newman beneficially owns 33,545 shares of Common Stock, 55,682 restricted stock
units that are payable in an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, and Company stock options to acquire up to an additional 108,144 shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Newman is eligible to receive stock awards by the Company under the Plan.
Item 6.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers
As authorized by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") provides that a director of the Company will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption for liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that the liability of a director may not be limited (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for liability for payments of dividends of stock purchased or redemptions in violation of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
While the Certificate provides directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, it does not eliminate such duty. Accordingly, the Certificate will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission
based on a director's breach of such director's duty of care.
In addition, the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person") who was or is made or is threatened
to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director of the Company or an officer of the Company elected by the Board of Directors or, while a director of the Company or an officer of the Company elected by the Board of Directors, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, the Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only
if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
4
The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance policies insuring directors and officers of the Company for certain covered losses as defined in the policies.
The above discussion of the Company's corporate documents is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Company's corporate documents.
Item 7.          Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See the attached Exhibit Index at page 9, which is incorporated herein by reference.
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; and
(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 Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 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 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
5
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 the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, 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.
