Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Under the New York Business Corporation Law ("NYBCL"), a corporation may
indemnify its directors and officers made, or threatened to be made, a party to
any action or proceeding, except for stockholder derivative suits, if such
director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation
or enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in
criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. In the case of stockholder derivative suits, the corporation may
indemnify a director or officer if he or she acted in good faith for a purpose
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service to
another corporation or enterprise, not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i) a
threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed
of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of
competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court
deems proper.
Any person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding will be entitled to
indemnification. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, unless ordered by
a court pursuant to the NYBCL, any indemnification under the NYBCL pursuant to
the above paragraph may be made only if authorized in the specific case and
after a finding that the director or officer met the requisite standard of
conduct by (i) the disinterested directors if a quorum is available, (ii) the
board upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel or (iii) the
stockholders.
The indemnification described above under the NYBCL is not exclusive of
other indemnification rights to which a director or officer may be entitled,
whether contained in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or when
authorized by (i) such certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) a resolution
of stockholders, (iii) a resolution of directors or (iv) an agreement providing
for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on
behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were
committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or
she was not legally entitled.
The foregoing statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Sections 715, 717, 721 through 725 of the NYBCL.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify any
officer or director who is made or is threatened to be made a party to an action
by or in right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of
the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or
officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
Page 3 of 6
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him, in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with
an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose
which he reasonably expected to be in or, in the case of service for any other
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect to (1) a threatened action, or a
pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim,
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
the Company; unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action
was brought, or if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction,
determines upon application that, in view of the circumstances of the case, the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the
settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
5.1 Opinion of Bond, Schoeneck & King, LLP as to the validity of certain
shares being registered.
23.1 Consent of KPMG LLP
23.2 Consent of Bond, Schoeneck & King, LLP (included in Exhibit 5.1).
24.1 Power of Attorney (included at page 6 of this Registration
Statement).
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement 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.
(b) 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.
Page 4 of 6
(c) 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.
2. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities 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.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 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.
