ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Business Corporation Law of the State of New York ("BCL") provides
that if a derivative action is brought against a director or officer, the
Registrant may indemnify him or her against amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, if such director or
officer acted on good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to
be in the best interests of the Registrant, except that no indemnification shall
be made without court approval in respect of a threatened action, or a pending
action settled or otherwise disposed of, or in respect of any matter as to which
such director or officer has been found liable to the Registrant. In a
nonderivative action or threatened action, the BCL provides that the Registrant
may indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred by him or
her in defending such action if such director or officer acted in good faith for
a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Registrant.
Under the BCL, a director or officer who is successful, either in a
derivative or nonderivative action, is entitled to indemnification as outlined
above. Under any other circumstances, such director or officer may be
indemnified only if certain conditions specified in the BCL are met. The
indemnification provisions of the BCL are not exclusive of any other rights to
which a director or officer seeking indemnification may be entitled pursuant to
the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of a
corporation or, when authorized by such certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
pursuant to a shareholders' resolution, a directors' resolution or an agreement
providing for such indemnification.
The above is a general summary of certain indemnity provisions of the
BCL and is subject, in all cases, to the specific and detailed provisions of
Sections 721-725 of the BCL.
Article IX, Section 1 of the Registrant's By-laws provide that the
Registrant shall indemnify any present or future director or officer from and
against any and all liabilities and expenses to the maximum extent permitted by
the BCL as the same presently exists or to the greater extent permitted by any
amendment hereafter adopted.
Section 726 of the BCL also contains provisions authorizing the
Registrant to obtain insurance on behalf of any such director and officer
against liabilities, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to
indemnify against such liabilities. As permitted by law, the Registrant
maintains and pays premiums for directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) Rule 415 offering. 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 of 1933 (the "Act");
3
5
(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;
(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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this
section 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 section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
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) Subsequent Exchange Act Documents. That, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 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 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.
(c) Indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
