<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Item&nbsp;6. <U>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). The
Company&#146;s Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and executive officers and may
indemnify its other officers to the full extent permitted by law. The Company believes that
indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by officers and
directors, and requires the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder
derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the officer or director to repay
such advances if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification. The Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be
deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under any statute,
provision of any Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders,
disinterested directors or otherwise.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware
law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors&#146; fiduciary
duty of care to the Company and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the 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. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of
the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company, or acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal
benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s
responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company currently has a policy providing directors and officers&#146; liability insurance with
insured directors and officers of the Company in certain circumstances. The policy also insures
the Company against losses as to which its directors and officers are entitled to indemnification.

or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan&#146;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

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Securities
and Exchange 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.

incorporate such other terms and conditions as the Board, acting in its absolute discretion,
deems consistent with the terms of this Plan, including (without limitation) a restriction
on the number of Shares subject to the Option that first become exercisable during any

officers, the duties of the Eligible Recipient, the present and potential contributions of
the Eligible Recipient to the success of the Company, and other factors deemed relevant by

price required by applicable state law, or (2)&nbsp;the minimum price required by the Company&#146;s
governing instrument, or (3) $0.01, whichever price is greater. Any Option intended to meet
the FLSA Exclusion must be granted with an Exercise Price equivalent to or greater than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market value of the Shares subject thereto on the date
granted determined as of the date of such grant. Any Option that is intended to avoid
taxation under Code &#167;409A as a &#147;nonqualified deferred compensation plan&#148; must be carefully
restricted in accordance with Code &#167;409A requirements. No Option should be granted under

is to be exercised accompanied by full payment for the Shares. Payment for Shares purchased
pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or, unless the Share Incentive
Agreement provides otherwise, by delivery to the Company of a number of Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be tendered, or a combination thereof. In
addition, unless the Share Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the Option may be
exercised through a brokerage transaction following registration of the Company&#146;s equity
securities under Section&nbsp;12 of the Exchange Act as permitted under the provisions of
Regulation&nbsp;T applicable to cashless exercises promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board,
unless prohibited by Section&nbsp;402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Option recipient who is an Insider, a tender of Shares or
a cashless exercise must (1)&nbsp;have met the requirements of an exemption under Rule&nbsp;16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2)&nbsp;be a subsequent transaction the terms of which
were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under
Rule&nbsp;16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless the Share Incentive Agreement
provides otherwise, the foregoing exercise payment methods shall be subsequent transactions
approved by the original grant of an Option. Except as provided in subparagraph (f)&nbsp;below,
payment shall be made at the time that the Option or any part thereof is exercised, and no
Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been
made by the Participant. The holder of an Option, as such, shall have none of the rights of
a Share holder. Notwithstanding the above and unless prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, in the sole discretion of the Board, an Option may be exercised as to a portion or all
(as determined by the Board) of the number of Shares specified in the Share Incentive
Agreement by delivery to the Company of a promissory note, such promissory note to be
executed by the Participant and that shall include, with such other terms and conditions as
the Board shall determine, provisions in a form approved by the Board under which: (i)&nbsp;the
balance of the aggregate purchase price shall be payable in equal installments over such
period and shall bear interest at such rate (that shall not be less than the prime bank loan
rate as determined by the Board, that shall be established at the time of exercise, and that
must be a market rate based on the rate environment at the date of exercise) as the Board
shall approve, and (ii)&nbsp;the Participant shall be personally liable for payment of the unpaid
principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest. Other methods of payment may also be
used if approved by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion and provided for under the
Share Incentive Agreement.

and shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or
events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Share Incentive Agreement;
provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an Option, the Board, at any time before
complete termination of such Option, may accelerate the time or times at which such Option
may vest or be exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option
intended to meet the FLSA Exclusion shall not be exercisable for at least six (6)&nbsp;months
following the date it is granted, except by reason of death, disability, retirement, a
change in corporate ownership or other circumstances permitted under regulations promulgated
under the FLSA Exclusion. Furthermore, if the recipient of an Option receives a hardship
distribution from a Code &#167;401(k)&nbsp;plan of the Company, or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
Option may not be exercised during the six (6)&nbsp;month period following the hardship
distribution, unless the Company determines that such exercise would not jeopardize the
tax-qualification of the Code &#167;401(k)&nbsp;plan. The Board may impose such restrictions on any
Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including,
without limitation, vesting or performance-based restrictions, rights of the Company to
re-purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option, voting restrictions,
investment intent restrictions, restrictions on transfer, &#147;first refusal&#148; rights of the

the Participant&#146;s lifetime, only by the Participant; provided, however, that in the event
the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Option, such Option may
be exercised by such Participant&#146;s legal guardian, legal representative, or other
representative whom the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances.
The Board in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine the determination of
incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the
Participant who shall be able to exercise the Option if the Participant is incapacitated.

Agreement, a NQSO may also be transferred by a Participant as a bona fide gift (i)&nbsp;to his
spouse, lineal descendant or lineal ascendant, siblings and children by adoption, (ii)&nbsp;to a

Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. In such case, the
Company shall issue the net number of Shares to Optionee by deducting the Shares retained from the

Optionee must pay, or make adequate provision for, any applicable federal or state withholding
obligations. Optionee may, in Optionee&#146;s sole discretion, elect to pay cash for such withholding
or may provide for payment of withholding taxes upon exercise of the Option by directing that the
Company retain Shares with a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be
withheld. In such case, the Company shall issue the net number of Shares to Optionee by deducting
the Shares retained from the Shares exercised.

conditions to vesting set forth herein have not been met (and therefore that the Option should be
cancelled), then Parent shall deliver a written notice (a &#147;<U>Notice</U>&#148;) to Executive pursuant
to the notice provisions set forth in Section&nbsp;15 of the Retention Agreement. The Notice shall
specify in reasonable detail all reasons for which Parent contends the Option should not vest and
should be cancelled.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;If Optionee wishes to object to a Notice and/or the instructions in or reasons contained
in the Notice, Optionee must deliver a written objection (&#147;<U>Objection</U>&#148;) to Parent within
fifteen (15)&nbsp;calendar days after receipt of such Notice by Optionee, expressing such objection and
explaining in reasonable detail the basis therefor. The Objection shall be delivered pursuant to
the notice provisions set forth in Section&nbsp;15. If Optionee fails to deliver to Parent an Objection
to a Notice within the fifteen (15)&nbsp;calendar day period provided for in the first sentence of this
paragraph, then that failure shall conclusively be deemed agreement with the Notice.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Following receipt by Parent of the written objection, if any, Parent and Optionee shall
promptly meet to agree on their respective rights with respect to each of such claims. If there is
no agreement, either party may make a written demand for formal dispute resolution and specify
therein the scope of the dispute. The Option, to the extent there is an unresolved dispute between
Parent and Optionee regarding its vesting or cancellation, shall continue to be held by Optionee
and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Retention Agreement, shall
not vest until a final settlement, adjudication by a trier of fact or other resolution of such
claim has been reached.
