ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Tennessee law provides that a corporation's charter may contain a
provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (A) for any breach of the directory's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (B) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; or (C) under ss. 48-18-304, Tennessee Code Annotated, for unlawful
distributions.
The By-Laws of the Company contain the following liability and
indemnification provisions:
LIABILITY OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. No person shall be liable to the
Corporation for any loss or damage suffered by it on account of any action taken
or omitted to be taken by him as a director or officer of the Corporation in
good faith, if such person exercised or used the same degree of care and skill
as a prudent man would have exercised or used in the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. The Corporation shall
indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all persons who may
serve or who have served at any time as directors or officers, or who, at the
request of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may serve or, at any time
have served, as directors or officers of another corporation in which the
Corporation, at such time, owned or may own shares of stock or of which it was
or may be a creditor, and their respective heirs, administrators, successors and
assigns, against any and all expenses, including amounts paid upon judgments,
counsel fees and amounts paid in settlement (before or after suit is commenced),
actually and necessarily incurred by such persons in connection with the defense
or settlement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of
them, are made parties, or a party, or which may be asserted against them or any
of them, by reason of being or having been directors or officers or a director
or officer of the Corporation, or of such other corporation, except in
relationship to matters as to which any such
2
<PAGE> 4
director or officer or former director or officer or person shall be adjudged in
any action, suit or proceeding to be liable for his own negligence or misconduct
in the performance of his duty. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any
other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any law, by-law,
agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise.
The Charter of the Company contains the following liability and
indemnification provisions:
(a) To the fullest extent that the law of the State of Tennessee, as it
exists on the date hereof or as it may hereafter be amended, permits
the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no
director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director.
(b) The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify any director,
officer, employee, agent of the Corporation or any other person who is
serving at the request of the Corporation in any such capacity with
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprises to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of
Tennessee as it exists on the date hereof or as it may hereafter be
amended, and any such indemnification may continue as to any person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and may inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.
(c) If the Tennessee Business Corporation Act is amended after approval of
the Article to authorize corporate action, further eliminating or
limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, as
so amended.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
See the Exhibit Index which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The Company 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 of
1933;
3
<PAGE> 5
(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 the Registration
Statement;
(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;
Provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form
S-8 or Form F-3 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in this
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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the Company'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 this 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 Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company 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
4
<PAGE> 6
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling persons
of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling persons in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company 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.
