Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
"shall be empowered to indemnify" to the full extent of its power to do so,
all directors and officers, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. We anticipate that the Company will
indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides in
relevant part as follows:
(1) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to 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) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he 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 his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
(2) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as
a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine on application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem
proper.
(3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in 1) or (2) of this
subsection, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
-2-
(4) The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
Insofar as indemnification by the Company for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are aware
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the index to
Exhibits on page 5.
Item 9. Undertakings
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 1933:
(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 paragraph (1)(i) and
(I)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraph is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Company 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 of 1933, each such post-effective amendments 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-
(3) To remove from registration by mean of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) The undersigned 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 and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
(5) 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 above-described
provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
