PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (8 Delaware Code §145), the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors and officers.

     Article Eight of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that anyone who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law. This includes indemnity against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     Pursuant to Delaware law, this includes elimination of liability for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. The provision does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws, or state or federal environmental laws.

     Article Nine of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that its directors shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any 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 (relating to certain unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit.

     Policies of insurance are maintained by the Registrant under which the directors and officers of the Registrant are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceeding, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers.

     In addition, the Registrant has entered into various agreements whereby it has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for specific liabilities that they may incur in such capacities, including liability that may arise in the management of the Registrant’s employee benefit plans.
