Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants corporations the power to indemnify officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Article XIV of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated By-Laws provides for indemnification of its directors, officers and employees to the maximum extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 2.6 of the Plan and Section 2.6 of the PR Plan provide that the Registrant will indemnify each member of the Administrative Committee of the plan, subject to applicable law, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities, arising from any action or failure to act, except when the same is judicially determined to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such member. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the foregoing by-law provision, the Plan, the PR Plan, the indemnification agreements or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
3
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.
The Registrant carries directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies under which all of the directors and executive officers of the Registrant are insured against loss imposed upon them with respect to their legal liability for breach of their duty to the Registrant. Excluded from coverage under these policies are fines and penalties imposed by law upon such directors and officers or other matters that may be deemed uninsurable, such as material acts of active and deliberate dishonesty committed by the insureds with actual dishonest purpose and intent.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits listed in the accompanying Index to Exhibits are furnished as part of this registration statement.
The Registrant has submitted or will submit the Plan, and all amendments thereto, to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in a timely manner and has or will make all changes required by the IRS in order to maintain qualification of the Plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). The Registrant has submitted or will submit the PR Plan, and all amendments thereto, to the Departments de Hacienda of Puerto Rico (the “Hacienda”) in a timely manner and has or will make all changes required by the Hacienda in order to qualify the PR Plan under Section 1165 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended. The PR Plan is not required to be qualified under Section 401 of the IRC.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)(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 Act;
(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; and
(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) 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.
4
(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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(d) The undertaking regarding indemnification of officers and directors is included as part of Item 6, which is incorporated into Item 9 by reference.
The Registrant. Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Fort Worth, State of Texas, on the 2nd day of November, 2009.
