Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 204 of the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the “California Law”) permits the limitation of the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation for breach of a director’s duties to the corporation and its shareholders under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations.

 

Section 317 of the California Law (i) permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and other agents of the corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations and (ii) provides that the corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and other agents against any liability asserted against or incurred by them in such capacity or arising out of their status as such.

 

Article Seven of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant provides as follows:

 

SEVEN: The liability of the directors of this corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the California Law) through bylaw provisions, agreements with agents, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the California Law, subject only to the applicable limits set forth in Section 204 of the California Law with respect to actions for breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This corporation is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its agents against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent’s status as such from a company, the shares of which are owned in whole or in part by this corporation, provided that any policy issued by such company is limited to the extent required by applicable law. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Seven by the shareholders of this corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an agent of this corporation existing at the time of that repeal or modification.

 

Section 3.16 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Registrant provides as follows:

 

SECTION 3.16 Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees, and Other Agents.

 

(a) The corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the California Corporations Code (“Code”), indemnify each of its directors against expenses (as defined in Section 317(a) of the Code), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually

 

II-3


and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding (as defined in Section 317(a) of the Code), arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 3.16, a “director” of the corporation includes any person (i) who is or was a director of the corporation, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was a director of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

 

(b) The corporation shall have the power, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the Code, to indemnify each of its officers, employees and agents against expenses (as defined in Section 317(a) of the Code), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding (as defined in Section 317(a) of the Code), arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, employee or agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 3.16, an “officer,” “employee” or “agent” of the corporation includes any person (i) who is or was an officer, employee or agent of the corporation, (ii) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was an officer, employee or agent of the corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

 

(c) Expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 3.16(a) shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 3.16.

 

Expenses incurred in defending any civil or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 3.16(b) may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 3.16.

 

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 3.16 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Articles of Incorporation.

 

(e) The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 3.16.

 

(f) No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Section 3.16, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

 

(1) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution of the shareholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

 

(2) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in

 

II-4


approving a settlement.

 

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and executive officers which require the Registrant to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

The Registrant maintains an insurance policy pursuant to which the directors and officers of the Registrant are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of their being or having been such directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

A. 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 this

 

II-5


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. 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 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall 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 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this 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; and (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, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into 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 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 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 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.
