ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Article VII of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in substance, that Delaware corporations shall have the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits and proceedings brought against them by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against expenses incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding. The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that Delaware corporations may purchase insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent. Bombardier Inc. has agreed to guarantee the indemnification obligations of the Registrant with respect to each of its independent directors, subject, however, to any conditions, limitations, or defenses which the Registrant itself might have with respect to such indemnified obligations. ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. A. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to provisions described under Item 14 above, 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 of 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. B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (2) for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
