Interests of Legal Counsel

A member of the firm of Abrahams Kaslow & Cassman LLP, legal counsel to the registrant with respect to this registration statement, is the general partner of a limited partnership which owns 30,504 shares of the registrant’s Common Stock.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification by a corporation of certain officers, directors, employees, and agents. Consistent therewith, the registrant’s By-Laws require the registrant, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to indemnify each of its directors and officers against expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding to which such director or officer was, is, or may be a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the registrant. For purposes of this provision, a “director” or “officer” of the registrant includes any person (i) who is or was a director or officer of the registrant, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or (iii) who was a director or officer of a corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the registrant or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation. The registrant may, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in

settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding to which such person was, is, or may be a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or agent of the registrant. For purposes of this provision, an “employee” or “agent” of the registrant (other than a director or officer) includes any person (i) who is or was an employee or agent of the registrant, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or (iii) who was an employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the registrant or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

The registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.

The registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of the directors (certain of whom are executive officers of the registrant) and executive officers of the registrant and with certain other officers of the registrant pursuant to which the registrant has agreed, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions (i) to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law against any claims and expenses incurred in connection therewith arising out of any event or occurrence relating to their status as director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of the Company or of any other entity as to which they served at the request of the registrant or by reason of any action or inaction while serving in such capacity and (ii) to advance any such expenses no later than five days after demand.

Undertakings

(a) 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, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

2. That, for the purpose 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 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 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 this 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) 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.
