(excluding any portions thereof which are deemed "furnished"
rather than filed with the Commission).
All reports or other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold hereunder, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of filing such reports and documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein (or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed incorporated herein) modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof, except as so modified or superseded.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the deferred compensation obligation will be passed upon for the Registrant by Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, San
Francisco, California. As of the date of this Registration Statement, certain attorneys of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP beneficially own an aggregate of less than 1% of the Registrant's common stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation (or a person who 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 the person 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
- 1 -
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation (or a person who 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 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, except that no indemnification may 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 a court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. The indemnification provisions of the DGCL require indemnification of a director or officer who has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he
was a party to by virtue of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation.
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 the person, and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to
indemnify him under Section 145.
Article 8 of Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, none of the
Registrant's directors shall be personally liable to the Registrant or the Registrant's stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with specific exceptions. The exceptions relate to (1) any breach of
a director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or Registrant's stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) approval by a director of certain
unlawful dividend payments, distributions or stock redemptions or repurchases or (4) engaging in a transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Among the types of breaches for which directors will not be liable are
those resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior.
The Registrant's bylaws also provide for the indemnification of both
the Registrant's directors and officers within the limitations permitted by Delaware law and the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with the Registrant's directors which provide that the Registrant will indemnify the
directors to the fullest extent authorized by law.
The Registrant has obtained directors' and officers' liability and corporate
reimbursement insurance covering all of the Registrant's officers and directors and those of the Registrant's subsidiaries and providing for the reimbursement of amounts paid by the Registrant or the Registrant's subsidiaries to
directors and officers pursuant to indemnification arrangements, subject to certain deductibles and coinsurance provisions.
The foregoing
summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, the registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended to date, and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference
thereto.
