INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article Six of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES. (a) EXHIBITS. A list of exhibits is set forth in the Exhibit Index appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. (b) FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES* PAGE ---- Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. Report of Independent Accountants...................................... S-1 - -------- *Schedules other than those listed above have been omitted because of the absence of the conditions under which they are required or because the required information is presented in the financial statements or the notes thereto. ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") 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. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. II-1 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Clayton, State of Missouri on December 17, 1997.
