<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 45px" align=justify><FONT face="TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif" size=2>Article XI of the Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also provides that the Company shall indemnify directors and officers of the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and certain other related entities generally in the same manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors and officers, as well as other employees or persons, may be indemnified against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation - a &#147;derivative action&#148;), and against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) in any action (including a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they 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 no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of a derivative action, a person cannot be indemnified for expenses in respect of any matter as to which the person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and to the extent a court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.</FONT></P>
