Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
The shares being registered herein are being issued to the
Registrant's attorneys for services provided to the Registrant.
Neither the Registrant's Accountants nor any other experts named
in the registration statement has any equity or other interest in
the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company and its affiliates may not be liable to its
shareholders for errors in judgment or other acts or omissions
not amounting to intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing
violation of the law, since provisions have been made in the
Articles of Incorporation and By-laws limiting such liability.
The Articles of Incorporation and By-laws also provide for
indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company in
most cases for any liability suffered by them or arising from
their activities as officers and directors of the Company if they
were not engaged in intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing
violation of the law. Therefore, purchasers of these securities
may have a more limited right of action than they would have
except for this limitation in the Articles of Incorporation and
By-laws.
The officers and directors of the Company are accountable to the
Company as fiduciaries, which means such officers and directors
are required to exercise good faith and integrity in handling the
Company's affairs. A shareholder may be able to institute legal
action on behalf of himself and all others similarly stated
shareholders to recover damages where the Company has failed or
refused to observe the law.
Shareholders may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure,
be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce
their rights, including rights under certain federal and state
securities laws and regulations. Shareholders who have suffered
losses in connection with the purchase or sale of their interest
in the Company in connection with such sale or purchase,
including the misapplication by any such officer or director of
the proceeds from the sale of these securities, may be able to
recover such losses from the Company.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The rights of common shareholders are defined in the Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation which have been incorporated into this
Registration Statement by reference (see Item 3, Part II). The
Registrant does not intend for this Plan to be qualified under
ERISA, and does not, therefore, intend to comply with the terms
of ERISA.
Item 9. Undertaking.
The registrant makes the following undertakings:
(a) 1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this 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;
2) 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.
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 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 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 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 indemnification is permitted to directors, officers
and controlling personas 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 the 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 of such corporation it
is the opinion of the SEC that any such indemnification is
against public policy.
