Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
.
The
Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to indemnify
officers, directors, employees and agents for actions taken in good faith and
in
a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, which
they had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. The DGCL provides that
a
corporation may advance expenses of defense (upon receipt of a written
undertaking to reimburse the corporation if indemnification is not appropriate)
and must reimburse a successful defendant for expenses, including attorney's
fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and permits a corporation to purchase
and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers. The DGCL
provides that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matters
as
to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after
exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation, unless
and
only to the extent a court determines that the person is entitled to indemnity
for such expenses as the court deems proper.
The
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Certificate”),
provides that each person who is involved in any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of
the
Company will be indemnified by the Company, and that each person who is so
involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer, employee
or
agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company in
any
other capacity for or on behalf of the Company, may be indemnified by the
Company, against any liability or expense actually and reasonably incurred
by
such person in respect of such threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or
proceeding. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any such person:
(i)
with respect to proceedings, claims or actions initiated or brought voluntarily
by such person and not by way of defense; or (ii) for any amounts paid in
settlement of an action effected without the prior written consent of the
Company to such settlement. The indemnification rights conferred by the
Certificate are not exclusive of any other right to which persons seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any law, agreement or otherwise.
The
bylaws of the Company, as amended (the “Bylaws”), provide that each person who
is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the
fact
that he or she is or was a director of the Company will be indemnified by the
Company, and that each person who is so involved by reason of the fact that
he
or she is or was an officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request of the Company in any other capacity for or on behalf
of
the Company, may be indemnified by the Company, against any liability or expense
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of such threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding. Expenses may be paid in advance
by the Company upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person
seeking indemnification to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.
The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any such person: (i) with
respect to proceedings, claims or actions initiated or brought voluntarily
by
such person and not by way of defense; or (ii) for any amounts paid in
settlement of an action effected without the prior written consent of the
Company to such settlement. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by the Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which persons
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
law, agreement or otherwise. The Company has purchased and maintains insurance
on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents.

Undertakings
.
(a)
We
hereby undertake:
|
|
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. 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% 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 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) of this section 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 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.
|
|
|
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)
We
hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of our 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.
(c)
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Chatsworth, State of California, on June 16th,
