PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT The contents of the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-60725), including the portions of Registration Statement No. 33-27866 incorporated therein by reference, are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. The following additional information supplements and/or supersedes the information appearing in Registration No. 33-60725: Item 4. Description of Securities Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") permits a Delaware corporation to include a provision in its Certificate of Incorporation, and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation so provides, eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any such 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 Delaware Law which makes directors personally liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Under Delaware Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, directors and officers may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation (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 interest of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In derivative actions, indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such an action and, in the event such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, only to the extent that a proper court shall have determined that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. The Company's officers and directors are also insured against claims arising out of the performance of their duties in the aforementioned capacities. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed Not applicable. SIGNATURES THE REGISTRANT.
