Item 4. Description of Securities. ------------------------- Not Applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. -------------------------------------- Not Applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. ----------------------------------------- The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that a director or officer of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with his activities as a director or officer or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, if the director, officer, employee or agent held such position at the request of the Company. Delaware law requires that such director, officer, employee or agent, in order to be indemnified, must have acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, either had reasonable cause to believe such conduct was lawful or did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law also provide that the indemnification provisions of such Certificate and the statute are not exclusive of any other right which a person seeking indemnification may have or later acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws of the Company, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. These provisions may have the effect of deterring shareholder derivative actions, since the Company may ultimately be responsible for expenses for both parties to the action. A similar effect would not be expected for third-party claims. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law also provide that the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company has such insurance. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. ----------------------------------- Not Applicable. II-3 Item 8. Exhibits. -------- See the Index to Exhibits to this Registration Statement. Item 9. Undertakings. ------------ (a) The Company 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; (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, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (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) above 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 SEC by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
