On December 5, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to increase the number of shares available for grant under the Company's New Employee Stock Option Plan.

The Company's prior registration statement is incorporated by reference. PART II ITEM 3.

The description of the Company's common stock as set forth in the Registration Statement filed by the Company for such stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including all amendments to such description as set forth in all amendments filed to such Registration Statement or in any periodic report filed with the Commission pursuant to the provisions of such Act. All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Not applicable. 2 ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS Article VI of the By-Laws of the Company provides for the indemnification of each officer and director of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all liability and loss, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans. The Company, however, shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company also has entered into Indemnity Agreements with the officers and directors of the Company pursuant to which an officer or director is entitled to indemnification if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Article 10 of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that a director shall have no personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case of: (a) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (b) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation; (c) unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption pursuant to Section 174 of Delaware's General Corporation Law; or (d) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are 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. 4 (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.

As counsel to the Corporation, I have reviewed the Registration Statement and the Exhibits thereto, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation, as amended to date, and the minutes of the proceedings of the Corporation's Board of Directors, and have also examined such other records, documents, instruments and certificates of certain officers of the Corporation, made such inquiries of officers of the Corporation, and considered such questions of law as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth herein. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is my opinion that the Common Stock has been duly authorized for issuance and will, when sold, be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The opinions the undersigned expresses herein are limited to matters involving New York law, the federal laws of the United States, and, as to limited matters, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. E-2 This opinion is being furnished to you solely in connection with the Registration Statement. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion, or any copies thereof, as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the use of my name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
