Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides for the indemnification of
the officers, directors and corporate employees and agents under certain
circumstances as follows:
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS; INSURANCE.
(a) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstance of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such court
shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
<PAGE>
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because
he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a)
and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board
of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(3) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be
paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he
is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this
section. Such expenses including attorneys' fees incurred by other
employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any,
as the board of directors deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this Section, references to "the corporation" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and
employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section
with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have
with respect to such constituent corporation as he would have with respect
to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
<PAGE>
(i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan;
and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include
any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants
and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted
in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as
referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized
or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, and administrators of such person.
Articles Ninth and Tenth of the Registrant's certificate of incorporate
provide as follows:
NINTH:
The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation is hereby
eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of paragraph (7) of
subsection (b) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the
same may be amended and supplemented.
TENTH:
The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended
and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to
indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the
indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
<PAGE>
Article XII of the Registrant's by-laws provides as follows:
ARTICLE XII - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
1. INDEMNIFICATION. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that such person's conduct was lawful.
2. DERIVATIVE ACTION. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in the corporation's favor by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such person's duty
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation.
<PAGE>
3. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a director, trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation has been successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in whole or in part, in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection therewith.
4. AUTHORIZATION. Any indemnification under paragraph 1 and 2 above (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in paragraph 1 and 2 above. Such determination shall be
made (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, (b) by independent legal counsel (selected by one or more of
the directors, whether or not a quorum and whether or not disinterested) in
a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders. Anyone making such a
determination under this paragraph 4 may determine that a person has met
the standards therein set forth as to some claims, issues or matters but
not as to others, and may reasonably prorate amounts to be paid as
indemnification.
5. ADVANCES. Expenses incurred in defending civil or criminal actions, suits
or proceedings shall be paid by the corporation, at any time or from time
to time in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in paragraph 4 above upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately
be determined by the corporation that the payment of expenses is authorized
in this Section.
6. NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided in this Section shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any law, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested director or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
trustee, officer, employee or agent and shall insure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
7. INSURANCE. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or
agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability assessed against such person in any such
capacity or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability.
<PAGE>
8. "CORPORATION" DEFINED. For purpose of this action, references to the
"corporation" shall include, in addition to the corporation, any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its
directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who
is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of such of
constituent corporation will be considered as if such person was a
director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the corporation.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index on Page E-1.
Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
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 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
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 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned 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;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
<PAGE>
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post effective amendment by these
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(b) that, for the purposes 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;
(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;
(d) 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
15(d) of the Exchange Act(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefits 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
