Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who is, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is, 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 by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.</FONT></DIV>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
The following description of the Obligations of the Registrant under the Plan is qualified by reference to the Plan, which is included as Exhibit 4.1 to this Registration Statement.
The Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries ("Participating Subsidiaries") to pay certain deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Plan from their general assets, and rank pari passu with other unsecured indebtedness of the Registrant and the Participating Subsidiaries from time to time outstanding.
Management and highly compensated employees of the Registrant and the Participating Subsidiaries who are selected by the Plan administrator are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants may elect to defer up to 100% of base salary, bonus, and/or commissions. The Registrant, or any of its Participating Subsidiaries which have adopted the Plan, may, in the sole discretion of the Plan administrator, make discretionary contributions intended to restore any lost Registrant match to a participant's 401(k) plan ("Company Make-Up Contributions") or other discretionary contributions ("Company Discretionary Contributions") to certain participant accounts.
Participant deferrals are always 100% vested. Company Make-Up Contributions, if any, will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to matching contributions in the Registrant's 401(k) plan. Company Discretionary Contributions, if any, will be subject to any vesting schedule communicated in writing to the participants receiving such contributions and in the absence of such communication will vest at the end of the Plan year following the Plan year in which Company Discretionary Contributions are made.
The amount of deferred compensation owed to participants pursuant to the Plan equals the amount of compensation deferred by each participant in accordance with his/her deferral election plus any Company Make-Up Contributions or Company Discretionary Contributions, adjusted to reflect any deemed investment appreciation or depreciation
in accordance with participant investment elections.
Distributions are made under the terms of the Plan only under the following circumstances:
At the time of the deferral election, a participant may elect to receive some or all of the deferred amounts and investment returns attributable thereto in (or beginning in) a specified month prior to retirement or termination of employment. All other deferrals, Company Make-Up Contributions or Company Discretionary Contributions, if any, and investment returns attributable thereto, constitute the participant's retirement account. Participants may establish up to five in-service accounts in addition to the retirement account. Separate investment option allocation elections may be made for each in-service account and for the retirement account. Distributions from in-service accounts can be made in a lump-sum or, if elected at the time of deferral and the balance is at least $10,000, in up to five annual installments.
Participants who retire after age 50, terminate employment after five years of service (other than for cause) or termininate employment due to disability will receive the vested portion of their retirement account balance and all undistributed in-service account balances based on a participant's payment election.
Upon a termination of employment that does not qualify as a retirement or other qualifying termination (as described in the preceding paragraph), a participant will receive the vested portion of his or her retirement account balance, and all undistributed in-service account balances, in a single lump-sum payment.
Upon death, a participant's designated beneficiary will receive the participant's retirement account balance and all undistributed in-service account balances in a single lump-sum payment
In the event of an unforeseen financial emergency, as defined in the Plan, a participant may request a withdrawal from his or her account(s) to satisfy the emergency. Such a withdrawal must be approved by the Plan administrator.
Amounts deferred, if any, and Company Make-Up Contributions or Company Discretionary Contributions, if any, will be deemed invested in the investment options selected by each participant. The value of each participant's account directly reflects the investment return (positive or negative) of those investment options on a daily basis. The available investment options include mutual funds that invest primarily in equity instruments (stocks), which are subject to the fluctuations of the stock market, the economy as a whole and the profitability of the companies in which the funds are invested. They also include mutual funds that invest primarily in debt securities (bonds), which are subject to fluctuations in the economy, prevailing interest rates and the credit risk of issuers of such debt securities. To defer or eliminate the income tax on investment earnings on assets held with respect to the Plan, insurance may be purchased on each participant, subject to the consent of such participant.
Elections of investment options do not represent actual ownership of, nor ownership rights in or to, the securities or other investments to which the investment options refer, nor is the Registrant in any way bound or directed to make actual investments corresponding to the deemed investments selected by participants.
A participant's Obligations cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered and pass only to a survivor beneficiary designated under the Plan or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as described above, the Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to the termination, retirement, disability or death of the participant. However, the Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, except that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect a participant's right to Obligations in the amount of the participant's accounts as of the date of such amendment or termination. The Obligations are not convertible into another security of the Registrant. The Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other affirmative or negative covenant on the part of the Registrant.
Obligations in an aggregate principal amount of $20 million are being registered under the Plan. Further amounts may be registered and issued as new or existing plan participants elect to defer portions of their compensation in subsequent years.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following paragraphs summarize certain indemnification provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation, By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL").
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who is, 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include 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, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is, 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 by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.
Section 145 further provides that the indemnification provisions of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, Ventiv's certificate of incorporation also limits the liability of directors of Ventiv for damages in derivative and third party lawsuits for breach of a director's fiduciary duty except for liability: for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Ventiv or its stockholders; for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or for any transaction for which the director derived improper personal benefit.
The limitation of liability applies only to monetary damages and, presumably, would not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The limitation of liability applies only to the acts or omission of directors as directors and does not apply to any such act or omission as an officer of Ventiv or to any liabilities imposed under federal securities law.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation 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 or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings.
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 of 1933;
(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;
(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) will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 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 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.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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.
