Indemnification of Directors and Officers
|
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company has the power to furnish indemnification to directors and officers in the capacities defined and prescribed in the New York Business Corporation Law (the “BCL”) and the defined and prescribed rights of said persons to indemnification as the same are conferred by the BCL.
Our By-Laws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as in effect at any time, indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding whether civil or criminal (including an action or proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was (i) an officer or director of the Company or (ii) an officer or director of the Company who is asked to serve in any capacity at the request of the Company in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against, in each case, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein.
Indemnification shall be deemed to be “permitted” if it is not expressly prohibited by applicable law as in effect at the time. The indemnification rights set forth hereinabove shall continue as to any such person who has ceased to be an officer or director of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person. The right to indemnification set forth herein above is a contract right that vests upon the occurrence or alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act that forms the basis for or it related to the claim for which indemnification is sought, and shall include the right to be paid advances of expenses incurred by such person in connection with such suit, action or proceeding, and the right to be indemnified for expenses incurred by such person in connection with successfully establishing a right to indemnification, in each case consistent with the provisions of applicable law in effect at any time.
If the right to indemnification set forth herein above is amended or repealed, such amendment or repeal will not limit the indemnification provided for herein above with respect to any acts or omissions to act occurring prior to any such amendment or appeal.
We also maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which insures our directors and officers for losses, subject to certain deductibles and exclusions, resulting from claims against our directors and officers in their capacity as such and also reimburses the Company for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under our By-Laws and the BCL.

Item 7.
|
Exemption from Registration Claimed
|
Not Applicable.
(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 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.
(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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 is against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
