ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.

The validity of the securities has been passed
upon by Margaret M. Foran, Esq., Senior Vice President - Corporate Governance,
Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for the Company. Ms. Foran
beneficially owns Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock granted

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware permits a corporation to indemnify any person who is or has been a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or who is or has been
serving as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, organization
or enterprise at the request of the corporation, against all liability and expenses
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements and amounts
paid in settlement or in satisfaction of judgments or as fines or penalties)
incurred or paid in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, in which he/she
may be involved by reason of the fact that he/she served or is serving in these
capacities, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his/her
conduct was unlawful. In the case of a claim, action, suit or proceeding made
or brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure a recovery or judgment
in its favor, the corporation shall not indemnify such person in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his/her
duty to the corporation, except for such expenses as the court may allow. Any
such person who has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise with respect
to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding or with respect to any claim,
issue or matter therein, shall be indemnified as of right against all expenses
in connection therewith or resulting therefrom.
Pursuant to Article V, Section 1 of our By-Laws,
we will indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law as it presently exists or is amended. We are insured against
actions taken under our By-Laws and the directors and officers are insured directly
at our expense against such liabilities for which indemnification is not made.
We have entered into agreements with our directors and certain of our officers
requiring us to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by our
By-Laws. The Company has a directors and officers liability insurance
policy that will reimburse the Company for any payments that it shall make to
directors and officers pursuant to law or the indemnification provisions of
its Restated Certificate of Incorporation and that will, subject to certain
exclusions contained in the policy, further pay any other costs, charges and
expenses and settlements and judgments arising from any proceeding involving
any director or officer of the Company in his or her past or present capacity
as such, and for which he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising
from acts that are deemed to be uninsurable.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:
(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, except to the extent that 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 is reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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; 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply to this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to the extent that 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 Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) that, for purposes 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 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.
(5) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and each filing of the 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.
(6) 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 Registrants have 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 Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants 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 Registrants 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.
(7) The Registrant undertakes that it will submit the Plan and any amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
