INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

 

The following documents have been filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and are incorporated herein by reference:

·                  the description of the Registrant’s common stock set forth in its registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the Commission on January 13, 2004, including any further amendments thereto or reports filed for the purposes of updating this description.

 

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than current reports furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and exhibits furnished on such form that relate to such items, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all of the shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or which deregisters all of such shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.

 

For purposes of this Registration Statement, any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”), the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the directors and officers of the Registrant. This description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate, the Bylaws and the DGCL.

 

The Registrant’s Certificate provides that, to the fullest extent provided by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant may be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:

 

·                  any breach of duty of loyalty to the corporation or to its stockholders;

 

·                  acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

3



 

·                  unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the DGCL; or

 

·                  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

The Registrant’s Certificate and Bylaws further provide that the Registrant shall indemnify all officers and directors of the Registrant who are or were parties to, or are threatened to be made parties to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, from and against all expense, liability and loss incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.  Except with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Registrant is not required to indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Registrant’s board of directors.  The Registrant’s Bylaws further provide that the Registrant may, in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Registrant deems appropriate, advance expenses to its directors and officers incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified.

 

The rights conferred in the Bylaws and Certificate are not exclusive and the Registrant may expand the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the registrant’s directors and executive officers. The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its current directors and its executive officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Certificate and Bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrant’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, nor is the registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

 

The Registrant has a directors’ and officers’ insurance and Registrant reimbursement policy. The policy insures the Registrant’s directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses the Registrant for those losses for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

1.              The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)         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 of 1933;

 

(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. 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 prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference herein.

 

(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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(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.              The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 herein, 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
