BUSINESS OF HARKEN
General
Harken is engaged in oil and gas exploration, development and
production operations both domestically and internationally through its various
wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint venture investments. Harken's domestic
operations primarily consist of the oil and gas exploration and production
operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chuska Resources Corporation.
Harken's international operations include two exclusive Colombian Association
Contracts between Harken's wholly-owned subsidiary, Harken de Colombia, Ltd.,
and Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos, as well as a production sharing agreement
between Harken's wholly-owned subsidiary, Harken Bahrain Oil Company, and the
Bahrain National Oil Company. Harken's international operations currently
consist solely of exploration activities, however, management is continuing to
pursue international opportunities in all areas of Harken's operations,
including oilfield services and oil and gas exploration and development.
Harken considers that the opportunities to profitably deploy Harken's expertise
and assets internationally are generally greater than those available
domestically.
Harken was incorporated in 1973 in the State of California and
reincorporated in 1979 in the State of Delaware. Harken's principal offices
are located at 5605 North MacArthur, Suite 400, Irving, Texas 75038 and its
telephone number is (214) 753-6900.
Recent Developments
On November 8, 1994, Harken and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Search
Acquisition Corp. ("Acq. Sub."), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") with Search Exploration, Inc. ("Search"), a publicly
held Delaware corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, certain
contingencies must be satisfied by Search, unless waived by Harken, prior to
the consummation of the proposed merger. Such contingencies include the
requirement that Search shall have terminated three private limited
partnerships of which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Search, McCullough Energy
Corp ("McCullough"), serves as the managing general partner. The plan proposed
by Search and McCullough to terminate these partnerships must receive 100%
approval by all of the other limited and general partners of each of these
partnerships. Assuming the successful termination of these limited
partnerships, Search must then submit the proposed merger to its stockholders
for their approval and receive the affirmative vote of a majority of such
stockholders. Unless the merger is completed by March 31, 1995, or unless such
date is extended by the mutual agreement of the parties, either Harken or
Search may terminate the Merger Agreement.
5
<PAGE> 8
In the event that the contemplated merger is completed then, upon
closing, Search will merge into Acq. Sub. with Acq. Sub. being the surviving
entity. Each share of Search common stock, $.05 par value (the "Search Common
Stock") then outstanding will be exchanged for shares of Harken's Common Stock
based upon the Exchange Ratio (as defined below). Each share of Search
preferred stock, $.001 par value (the "Search Preferred Stock") then
outstanding will be exchanged for shares of Harken's Common Stock based upon
the Preferred Exchange Ratio (as defined below). In addition, certain
outstanding notes issued by Search to third parties will be exchanged in the
merger for the number of shares of Harken's Common Stock equal to the face
amount of such notes divided by the Strike Price (as defined below).
In addition, certain parties, including the holders of Search Common
Stock, the note holders and the holders of certain overriding royalty interests
who agree to reassign these interests to Search, may be entitled to
subsequently receive additional shares of Harken's Common Stock based upon the
subsequently determined value of certain undeveloped properties of Search.
Under the Merger Agreement, certain identified undeveloped properties of Search
will be valued by an independent petroleum engineer as of June 30, 1996 (the
"Valuation Date"). These parties may be entitled to receive such additional
shares of Harken's Common Stock based upon an increase in the value of these
undeveloped properties as of such Valuation Date.
The Merger Agreement provides, however, that Harken is not required in
any event to issue more than a maximum of eleven million shares of its Common
Stock, which will constitute less than 20% of its outstanding Common Stock, in
connection with all exchanges and transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. The Merger Agreement does provide that in the event the undeveloped
properties of Search are valued as of the Valuation Date at an amount which
would provide for greater than eleven million shares of Harken's Common Stock
being issued in such transactions in the aggregate, then Harken may at its
option either pay such excess valuation in cash or obtain the approval of the
holders of Harken's Common Stock to issue additional shares of Common Stock in
excess of 20% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.
As of the execution date of the Merger Agreement, Search had
outstanding 3,690,632 shares of Search Common Stock and 575,000 shares of
Search Preferred Stock. The "Exchange Ratio" as provided in the Merger
Agreement is determined by dividing $.8099 by the Strike Price and the
"Preferred Exchange Ratio" is determined by dividing $1.00 by the Strike Price.
The "Strike Price" is defined as the average of the closing prices of a share
of Harken's Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange (as reported by the
Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, by another authoritative
source) over the 30 days immediately preceding the date that is five trading
days prior to the closing of the proposed merger; provided, however,
6
<PAGE> 9
that in no event shall the Strike Price be an amount which is (i) greater than
$2.366 or (ii) less than $1.274.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The following matters should be considered with all other information
contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus in evaluating an
investment in the Common Stock.
Losses From Continuing Operations
Harken reported losses from continuing operations for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1991 and 1993, and the first nine months of 1994, in the
amounts of $12,606,000, $5,500,000 and $1,650,000, respectively. While the
reasons for most of these losses, as explained below, are nonrecurring, there
can be no assurance that Harken will not continue to report losses.
During 1991, Harken's contract drilling and well servicing operations
contributed losses of $8,193,000. Harken included in these results for the
quarter ended December 31, 1991, a one-time, non-cash charge against earnings
of $7.1 million in order to decrease the carrying value of certain of its
drilling rigs and related domestic assets, pursuant to the decision to attempt
to sell certain of these assets which are not suitable for the pursuit of
international drilling opportunities. The above mentioned charge resulted in a
carrying value equal to the estimated selling price, or salvage value of these
assets.
The net loss for 1993 was primarily a result of certain non-cash
charges relating to non-recurring asset valuation write- downs. Such unusual
non-cash charges totalled $3.8 million. In January 1994, Harken made the
decision to liquidate its remaining drilling rigs and related assets and apply
the proceeds primarily to its international exploration efforts. As a result
of this decision, Harken recognized a non-cash charge of $3.1 million during
the fourth quarter of 1993 in order to write-down the carrying value of the
drilling rigs and related assets to estimated liquidation value. Additionally,
during 1993, Harken's depreciation and amortization expenses increased by
approximately $1.8 million due primarily to the acquisition of Chuska in
February 1993. Chuska's oil and gas properties accounted for approximately
$1.4 million of this increase.
The net losses experienced by Harken during the first nine months of
1994 are primarily related to decreases in revenues due to reductions in
product price and volume and certain shut-down costs associated with the
discontinuation of its well
7
<PAGE> 10
service activities previously conducted by Supreme Well Service Company, a
Harken wholly-owned subsidiary.
Effect of Sales of Common Stock and Other Events on Market Price
As of November 1, 1994, there were 60,442,853 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Harken, on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, is registering for
sale 960,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part. Harken has no knowledge of the proposed plan
of distribution of the Shares other than as described in this Prospectus. See
"PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." There can be no assurance that the sale of the Shares
by the Selling Stockholders or the shares of Common Stock to be issued in
connection with the proposed Search merger transaction will not have a material
adverse effect on the then prevailing market price of the Common Stock. The
closing price of a share of Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange on
December 9, 1994, was $1-15/16.
Preferred Stock Authorized for Issuance
Harken has available for issuance 10 million shares of preferred
stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to
provide for the issuance of such preferred stock in one or more series and to
set the designations, preferences, powers and relative participating, optional
or other rights and restrictions thereof. Presently, Harken has three series
of preferred stock authorized, of which only one has any shares currently
outstanding. Such shares have certain preferences over the shares of Common
Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation,
dissolution, winding-up and in certain instances, voting. The Board of
Directors of Harken also may authorize other series of preferred stock in the
future that have similar as well as other preferences over the shares of Common
Stock.
Factors Related to International Operations
Harken conducts international operations presently and anticipates
that it will conduct significant international operations in the future.
Foreign properties, operations or investments may be adversely affected by
local political and economic developments, exchange controls, currency
fluctuations, royalty and tax increases, retroactive tax claims, renegotiation
of contracts with governmental entities, expropriation, import and export
regulations and other foreign laws or policies governing operations of
foreign-based companies, as well as by laws and policies of the United States
affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. In addition, as certain of
Harken's operations are governed by foreign laws, in the event of a dispute,
Harken may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may
not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts
in the United
8
<PAGE> 11
States. Harken may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights
with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of
sovereign immunity. Exploration and production activities in areas outside the
United States are also subject to the risks inherent in foreign operations,
including loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of hazards such
as expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection and other political risks.
Regarding Harken's activities in Colombia, management anticipates that
full development of reserves in the Alcaravan area of the Llanos Basin and the
Bocachico area of the Middle Magdelena Valley may take several years and may
require extensive production facilities which could require significant
additional capital expenditures. The ultimate amount of such expenditures
cannot be presently predicted. While pipelines presently connect the major
producing fields in Colombia to export facilities and various refineries,
Harken anticipates that additional pipeline capacity will likely be needed in
the future. Guerilla activity in Colombia has in the past disrupted the
operation of certain oil and gas projects of some foreign-based companies.
Harken does not anticipate that future guerilla activity will have a material
impact on Harken's eventual exploration and development of the Alcaravan or
Bocachico area. However, there can be no assurance that such activity will not
occur or have such an impact.
Price Volatility
The revenues generated by Harken are highly dependent upon the prices
of oil and gas. Fluctuations in the energy market make it difficult to
estimate future prices of oil and natural gas. Fluctuations in energy prices
are caused by a number of factors, including regional, domestic and
international demand, energy legislation, federal or state taxes (if any) on
sales of crude oil and natural gas, production guidelines established by the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and the relative abundance of
supplies of alternative fuel such as coal. Additionally, changing
international economic and political conditions may have a dramatic impact upon
crude oil and natural gas prices. Many of these factors are beyond the control
of Harken.
Business Risks
Harken must continually acquire or explore for and develop new oil and
gas reserves to replace those being depleted by production. Without successful
drilling or acquisition ventures, Harken's assets, properties and revenues will
decline over time. To the extent Harken engages in drilling activities, such
activities carry the risk that no commercially viable oil or gas production
will be obtained. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is
often uncertain. Moreover, drilling may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a
result of many factors, including title problems,
9
<PAGE> 12
weather conditions, shortages of or delays in delivery of equipment, as well as
the financial instability of well operators, major working interest owners and
drilling and well servicing companies. The availability of a ready market for
Harken's oil and gas depends on numerous factors beyond its control, including
the demand for and supply of oil and gas, the proximity of Harken's natural gas
reserves to pipelines, the capacity of such pipelines, fluctuation in seasonal
demand, the effects of inclement weather, and government regulation. New gas
wells may be shut-in for lack of a market until a gas pipeline or gathering
system with available capacity is extended into the area.
In February 1994, the Navajo Nation issued a moratorium on future oil
and gas development agreements and exploration on lands situated within the
Aneth Chapter of the Navajo Reservation, which is an area that includes much of
Chuska's undeveloped acreage. It is unknown what effect, if any, this
moratorium will have on Chuska's operations.
Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks
The operations of Harken are subject to the inherent risks normally
associated with exploration for and production of oil and gas, including
blowouts, cratering, pollution and fires, each of which could result in damage
to or destruction of oil and gas wells or production facilities or damage to
persons and property. As is common in the oil and gas industry, Harken is not
fully insured against certain of these risks, either because insurance is not
available or because Harken has elected to self-insure due to high premium
costs. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against could
have a material adverse effect on Harken's financial condition.
Environmental Regulation
The activities of Harken are subject to various Navajo, federal,
state, and local laws and regulations covering the discharge of material into
the environment or otherwise relating to protection of the environment. In
particular, Harken's oil and gas exploration, development, production, its
activities in connection with storage and transportation of liquid hydrocarbons
and its use of facilities for treating, processing, recovering, or otherwise
handling hydrocarbons and wastes therefrom are subject to stringent
environmental regulation by governmental authorities. In addition to these
domestic laws and regulations, Harken's international operations are subject to
the laws, regulations and governmental approvals of each foreign country in
which it conducts activities including, but not limited to, environmental laws
and regulations governing oil and gas operations. Such domestic and foreign
laws and regulations have increased the costs of planning, designing, drilling,
installing, operating and abandoning Harken's oil and gas wells and other
facilities.
10
<PAGE> 13
The Aneth Gas Plant facility, of which Chuska is a co-owner, was in
operation for many years prior to Chuska's becoming an owner. The operations
at the Aneth Gas Plant previously used open, unlined drip pits for storage of
various waste products. The plant owners have replaced all of the open ground
pits currently being used with steel tanks. The plant owners are currently in
the process of closing the open ground pits.
Texaco, the plant's operator, received a letter from the EPA dated
July 2, 1991 and a subsequent letter dated June 8, 1992, in which the EPA
requested certain information in order to determine if there had been at the
Aneth Gas Plant the release of hazardous substances to the environment. Texaco
has advised Chuska that certain information was supplied to the EPA pursuant to
this request. Subsequently, core samples in and around certain pit areas were
taken by the EPA and Texaco jointly. The EPA has responded to the initial
sampling of the drip pits and Texaco is now planning the next phase of required
evaluation.
Texaco had indicated to Chuska that it believes that some of these
pits may require reclamation or remediation. In the event such action should
or must be taken, the plant owners, including Chuska, will seek contractual
indemnification from the previous owner of the Aneth Gas Plant for the costs
incurred in the reclamation and remediation process. At this time, however, it
is impossible for Chuska to determine or estimate the costs of the cleanup at
the Aneth Gas Plant or if the prior owner will indemnify the present owners,
including Chuska, for such costs.
Harken has expended significant resources, both financial and
managerial, to comply with environmental regulations and permitting
requirements and anticipates that it will continue to do so in the future.
Although Harken believes that its respective operations and facilities are in
general compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of
substantial costs and liabilities are inherent in oil and gas operations, and
there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be
incurred in the future. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such
as increasingly strict environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies
thereunder, and claims for damages to property, employees, other persons and
the environment resulting from Harken's operations, could result in substantial
costs and liabilities in the future.
Imprecise Nature of Reserve Estimates
Reserve estimates are imprecise and may be expected to change as
additional information becomes available. Furthermore, estimates of oil and
gas reserves, of necessity, are projections based on engineering data, and
there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as
the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. Reserve engineering is
11
<PAGE> 14
a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas
that cannot be measured in an exact way, and the accuracy of any reserve
estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and
geological interpretation and judgment.
Competitive Factors in Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry is competitive in all its phases.
Competition is particularly intense respecting the acquisition of desirable
producing properties and the sale of oil and natural gas production. Harken's
competitors in oil and gas exploration, development and production, include
major oil companies and numerous independent oil and gas companies, and
individual producers and operators. Many of Harken's competitors possess and
employ financial and personnel resources substantially greater than those which
are available to Harken, and may, therefore, be able to pay greater amounts for
desirable leases and to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number
of producing prospects than the financial or personnel resources of Harken will
permit.
Regulatory Items
The production of oil and gas is subject to extensive Navajo, federal
and state laws, rules, orders and regulations governing a wide variety of
matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates of
production, prevention of waste and pollution and protection of the
environment. In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such
regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain
regulations limit oil and gas production to below economic levels. Although
the particular regulations applicable in each state in which operations are
conducted vary, such regulations are generally designed to ensure that oil and
gas operations are carried out in a safe and efficient manner and to ensure
that similarly-situated operators are provided with reasonable opportunities to
produce their respective fair shares of available oil and gas reserves.
However, since these regulations generally apply to all oil and gas producers,
management of Harken believes that these regulations should not put Harken at a
material disadvantage to other oil and gas producers.
Certain sales, transportation, and resales of natural gas by Harken
are subject to Navajo, federal and state laws and regulations, including, but
not limited to, The Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended ("NGA"), the Natural
Gas Policy Act of 1978, as amended ("NGPA") and regulations promulgated by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") under the NGA, the NGPA and other
statutes. The provisions of the NGA and NGPA, as well as the regulations
thereunder, are complex, and can affect all who produce, resell, transport,
purchase or consume natural gas.

<PAGE> 15
Although recent FERC transportation regulations do not directly apply
to Harken because they are not engaged in rendering jurisdictional
transportation services, these regulations do affect the operations of Harken
by virtue of the need to deliver its gas production to markets served by
interstate or intrastate pipelines. In most instances, interstate pipelines
represent the only available method of accomplishing such transportation.
In addition to these domestic laws and regulations, Harken's
international operations are subject to the laws, regulations and governmental
approvals of each foreign country in which it conducts activities including,
but not limited to, environmental laws and regulations governing oil and gas
operations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Harken will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale of
Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

Shares included herein are sold.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any or all of the Shares may be sold from time to time to purchasers
directly by the Selling Stockholders in one or more open market transactions,
including block trades on the American Stock Exchange, in negotiated
transactions or in a combination of any such methods of sale. Alternatively,
the Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer the Shares through
underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agent.
The Selling Stockholders and any such underwriters, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters,
and any profit on the sale of the Shares by them and any discounts, commissions
or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents might be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of the Shares is made, to the extent required, a
Prospectus Supplement will be distributed that will set forth the aggregate
amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the
name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts,
commissions and other items constituting compensation from the Selling
Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed
or paid to dealers, including the proposed selling price to the public. Harken
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders
of the Shares offered hereby. All of the registration expenses of the offering
will be paid by Harken.
The Shares may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions
at a fixed offering price, which may be changed, or at varying prices
determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

<PAGE> 17
Harken has agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the Selling
Stockholders and any underwriter, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar
persons who participate in the distribution of the Shares, if any, and certain
persons related to the foregoing persons, against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have
agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances Harken and certain persons related
to Harken against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if
applicable, the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the
Shares may not be sold unless the Shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is
available and is complied with.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Shares will be passed upon for Harken by Larry E.
Cummings, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Harken.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides generally and in pertinent part that a Delaware corporation may
indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative suit or action except actions
by or in the right of the corporation if, in connection with the matters in
issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in connection
with any criminal suit or proceeding, if in connection with the matters in
issue, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 further provides that in connection with the defense or settlement
of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may
indemnify its directors and officers against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in
good faith, in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made
with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been
adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct unless the Court of Chancery or
the court in which such action or suit is brought approves such
indemnification. Section 145 further permits
II-1
<PAGE> 20
a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of
indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise, and to purchase
indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
Article Ten of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and
Article VII of the Registrant's bylaws provide, in general, that the Registrant
shall indemnify its directors and officers under certain of the circumstances
defined in Section 145. The Registrant has entered into agreements with each
member of its Board of Directors pursuant to which it will advance to each
director costs of litigation in accordance with the indemnification provisions
of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to
directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of
the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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.
II-3
<PAGE> 22
(b) The undersigned Registrant 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 thereto) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in
the 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 (i) and (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 by the Registrant 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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
II-4
<PAGE> 23
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 and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this
