REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
By a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on January 27,
2004, File No. 333-112238 (the "Original Registration Statement"), we registered 600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), issuable under the Plan. By a registration statement on Form
S-8 filed with the Commission on June 13, 2008, File No. 333-151659 (the "2008 Registration Statement"), we registered an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. By a registration statement on Form
S-8 filed with the Commission on July 26, 2013, File No. 333-190138 (the "2013 Registration Statement"), we registered an additional 400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. We are hereby registering an additional
500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, which shares became available for issuance pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by our stockholders on May 7, 2014.
Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Original Registration Statement, the 2008 Registration Statement and the 2013
Registration Statement are incorporated by reference in this registration statement on Form S-8.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The information called for in Part I of Form S-8 is not being filed with or included in this Form S-8 (by incorporation by reference or otherwise) in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Commission allows us to incorporate by
reference the information we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this Registration Statement, and information
that we file later with the Commission will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the following documents we have filed, or may file, with the Commission:
(1)
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed by us with the Commission on March 3, 2014 (File No. 000-50460), including the information specifically incorporated by
reference therein from our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on March 24, 2014;
(2)
Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed by us with the Commission on May 6, 2014 (File No. 000-50460);
(3)
Our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us with the Commission on January 3, 2014, January 16, 2014, April 23, 2014 and May 12, 2014 (File No. 000-50460), in each case solely to the extent
filed and not furnished;
(4)
The description of our common stock contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by us with the Commission on November 7, 2003, as amended (File No. 000-50460).
All documents filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities covered hereby then remaining unsold are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and are a
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein, or in any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute part of this Registration Statement. Under no circumstances will any information filed under Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K
expressly provides to the contrary.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain
circumstances and subject to certain limitations.
Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and
agents to the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into separate
indemnification agreements with our directors, officers and certain employees which require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors, officers or certain other
employees. We also intend to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.
These indemnification
provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between us and our officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred)
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Item 7.
Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
A list of exhibits filed with this Registration Statement is set forth on the
Index to Exhibits included with this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
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;
2
(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 thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 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; and
(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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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.
(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 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.
(h) 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 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.
