SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This resale prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which Sections were adopted as part of Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). While management has based any forward-looking
statements contained herein on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations
were based may change. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning
future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which
are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to materially differ from such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, but are not necessarily limited
to, those set forth under the caption Risk Factors. In addition, we operate in a highly
competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may arise. Accordingly, investors
should not place any reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We
disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking
statement.
RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the following information about risks, together with other information contained in this
resale prospectus, before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not
known to us or that we now believe to be immaterial could also impair our business. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and
liquidity could be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of the Class A common stock
could decline, and you may lose all or a part of your investment in the Class A common stock. Some
of the risks that could cause our results to vary are discussed below.
Loss of, or reduction of business from, significant clients
Our revenues, profitability and cash flow could be materially adversely affected by the loss of
significant clients and/or the reduction of volumes and services provided to our significant
clients as a result of, among other things, their merger or acquisition, divestiture of assets or
businesses, contract expiration or non-renewal, or business failure or deterioration. In addition,
we incur fixed costs related to our information technology outsourcing and business process
outsourcing clients. Therefore the loss of any one of our significant clients could leave us with a
significantly higher level of fixed costs than is necessary to serve our remaining clients, thereby
reducing our profitability and cash flow.
Impairment of investments made to attract clients
In order to attract and retain large outsourcing contracts we sometimes make significant capital
investments to perform the agreement, such as purchases of information technology equipment and
costs incurred to develop and implement software. The net book value of such assets recorded,
including a portion of our intangible assets, could be impaired, and our earnings and cash flow
could be materially adversely affected in the event of the early termination of all or a part of
such a contract or the reduction in volumes and services thereunder for reasons such as, among
other things, the clients merger or acquisition, divestiture of assets or businesses, business
failure or deterioration, or a clients exercise of contract termination rights.
6
Competition
We expect to encounter additional competition as we address new markets and new competitors enter
our existing markets. If we are forced to lower our pricing or if demand for our services
decreases, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow may be
materially and adversely affected. Some of our competitors have substantially greater resources,
and they may be able to use their resources to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies,
to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and services, or to obtain
client contracts where sizable asset purchases, investments or financing support are required. In
addition, we must frequently compete with a clients own internal business process and information
technology capabilities, which may constitute a fixed cost for the client.
In the future, competition could continue to emerge from large computer hardware or software
providers as they shift their business strategy to include services. Competition has also emerged
from European and Indian offshore service providers seeking to expand into our markets and from
large consulting companies seeking operational outsourcing opportunities.
Difficulties in executing our acquisition strategy
We intend to continue to expand our business through the acquisition of complementary companies.
We cannot, however, make any assurances that we will be able to identify any potential acquisition
candidates or consummate any additional acquisitions or that any future acquisitions will be
successfully integrated or will be advantageous to us. Without additional acquisitions, we are
unlikely to maintain historical total growth rates.
Failure to properly manage our operations and our growth
We have rapidly expanded our operations in recent years. We intend to continue expansion in the
foreseeable future to pursue existing and potential market opportunities. This rapid growth places
a significant demand on our management and operational resources. In order to manage growth
effectively, we must implement and improve our operational systems, procedures, and controls on a
timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis, we
may not be able to service our clients needs, hire and retain new employees, pursue new business,
complete future acquisitions or operate our businesses effectively. We could also trigger
contractual credits to clients. Failure to properly transition new clients to our systems, properly
budget transition costs or accurately estimate new contract operational costs could result in
delays in our contract performance, trigger service level penalties or result in contracts whose
profit margins did not meet our expectations or our historical profit margins. Failure to
properly integrate acquired operations could result in increased cost. As a result of any of these
problems associated with expansion, our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.
Government clients termination rights, audits and investigations
Approximately 42% of our revenues are derived from contracts with state and local governments and
from a contract with the Department of Education. Governments and their agencies may terminate most
of these contracts at any time, without cause. Also, our Department of Education contract is
subject to the approval of appropriations being made by the United States Congress to fund the
expenditures to be made by the Federal government under this contract. Additionally, government
contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations by government agencies. If the
government finds that we improperly charged any costs to a contract, the costs are not reimbursable
or, if already reimbursed, the cost must be refunded to the government. If the government
discovers improper or illegal activities in the course of audits or investigations, the contractor
may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may
include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and
suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Any resulting penalties or
sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow. Further, the negative publicity that arises from findings in such audits,
investigations or the penalties or sanctions therefore could have an adverse effect on our
reputation in the industry and reduce our
7
ability to compete for new contracts and may also have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Government
clients protests of contract awards
After an award of a government contract, a competing bidder may protest the award. If we are
awarded the contract and it is protested, it will be necessary to incur costs to defend the award
of the contract, which costs may be significant and could include hiring experts to defend the
basis for the contract award. Some contract protests may take years to resolve. In some instances
where we are awarded a contract, the contracting government entity may request that we sign a
contract and commence services, even though the contract award has been protested. If the protest
is upheld, then our contract would be terminated and the amounts due to us for services that have
been performed to date would be subject to payment pursuant to the terms of the terminated
contract. Such terms may not provide for full recovery of our incurred costs. In addition, if the
government agency requests that we make changes to our contractual agreement during a protest
period, but the government agency is unable or unwilling to modify the contract at the end of the
protest period (whether or not we are successful in defending the protest), then we may be unable
to recover the full costs incurred in making such changes. In addition, we may suffer negative
publicity as the result of any contract protest being upheld and our contract being terminated.
Further, if there is a re-bid of the contract, we would incur additional costs associated with the
re-bid process and be subject to a potential protest if we are awarded a subsequent contract.
Exercise of contract termination provisions and service level penalties
Most of our contracts with our clients permit termination in the event our performance is not
consistent with service levels specified in those contracts, or provide for credits to our clients
for failure to meet service levels. In addition, if clients are not satisfied with our level of
performance, our clients may seek damages as permitted under the contract and/or our reputation in
the industry may suffer, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
Pricing risks
Many of our contracts contain provisions requiring that our services be priced based on a
pre-established standard or benchmark regardless of the costs we incur in performing these
services. Many of our contracts contain pricing provisions that require the client to pay a set fee
for our services regardless of whether our costs to perform these services exceed the amount of the
set fee. Some of our contracts contain re-pricing provisions which can result in reductions of our
fees for performing our services. In such situations, we are exposed to the risk that we may be
unable to price our services to levels that will permit recovery of our costs, and may adversely
affect our operating results and cash flow.
Actuarial
consulting services and benefit plan management potential claims
In May 2005, we acquired the human resources consulting business of Mellon Financial Corporation,
which includes actuarial consulting services related to commercial, governmental and Taft-Hartley
pension plans. Providers of these types of consulting services have experienced frequent claims,
some of which have resulted in litigation and significant settlements or judgments, particularly
when investment markets have performed poorly and pension funding levels have been adversely
impacted. In addition, our total benefits outsourcing business unit manages and administers
benefit plans on behalf of its clients and is responsible for processing numerous plan transactions
for current and former employees of those clients. We are subject to claims from the client and
its current and former employees if transactions are not properly processed. If any claim is made
against us in the future related to our actuarial consulting services or benefit plan management
services, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be
materially adversely affected as a result of the time and cost required to defend such a claim, the
cost of settling such a claim or paying any judgments resulting therefrom, or the damage to our
reputation in the industry that could result from the negative publicity surrounding such a claim.
8
Loss of significant software vendor relationships
Our ability to service our clients depends to a large extent on our use of various software
programs that we license from a small number of primary software vendors. If our significant
software vendors were to terminate, refuse to renew our contracts with them or offer to renew our
contracts with them on less advantageous terms than previously contracted, we might not be able to
replace the related software programs and would be unable to serve our clients or we would
recognize reduced margins from the contracts with our clients, either of which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, revenues, profitability and cash flow.
Intellectual property infringement claims
We rely heavily on the use of intellectual property. We do not own the majority of the software
that we use to run our business; instead we license this software from a small number of primary
vendors. If these vendors assert claims that we or our clients are infringing on their software or
related intellectual property, we could incur substantial costs to defend these claims, which could
have a material effect on our profitability and cash flow. In addition, if any of our vendors
infringement claims are ultimately successful, our vendors could require us (1) to cease selling or
using products or services that incorporate the challenged software or technology, (2) to obtain a
license or additional licenses from our vendors, or (3) to redesign our products and services which
rely on the challenged software or technology. If we are unsuccessful in the defense of an
infringement claim and our vendors require us to initiate any of the above actions, then such
actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow.
Rapid technological changes
The markets for our business process and information technology services are subject to rapid
technological changes and rapid changes in client requirements. We may be unable to timely and
successfully customize products and services that incorporate new technology or to deliver the
services and products demanded by the marketplace.
United States and Foreign Jurisdiction laws relating to individually identifiable information
We process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals, both in our role
as a service provider and as an employer. As a result, we are subject to numerous United States
(both federal and state) and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations designed to protect
individually identifiable information, including social security numbers, financial and health
information. For example, in 1996, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act and as required therein, the Department of Health and Human Services established
regulations governing, among other things, the privacy, security and electronic transmission of
individually identifiable health information. We have taken measures to comply with each of those
regulations on or before the required dates. Another example is the European Union Directive on
Data Protection, entitled Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24
October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on
the free movement of such data. We have also taken steps to address the requirements of that
Directive. Other United States (both federal and state) and foreign jurisdiction laws apply to the
processing of individually identifiable information as well, and additional legislation may be
enacted at any time. Failure to comply with these types of laws may subject us to, among other
things, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity,
restrictions on our ability to process information and allegations by our clients that we have not
performed our contractual obligations, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our
profitability and cash flow.
Security
Security systems have been implemented with the intent of maintaining the physical security of our
facilities and to protect confidential information and information related to identifiable
individuals from unauthorized access through our information systems, but we are subject to breach
of security systems at the facilities at which we maintain such confidential customer information
and information relating to identifiable individuals. If unauthorized users gain physical access
to the facility or electronic access to our information
9
systems, such information may be subject to theft and misuse. Any theft or misuse of such
information could result in, among other things, unfavorable publicity, difficulty in marketing our
services, allegations by our clients that we have not performed our contractual obligations and
possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information, any
of which may have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flow. We anticipate that
breaches of security will occur from time to time, but the magnitude and impact on our business of
any future breach cannot be ascertained.
Budget deficits at, or fluctuations in the number of requests for proposals issued by, state and
local governments and their agencies
Approximately 42% of our revenues are derived from contracts with state and local governments and
their agencies. Currently, many state and local governments that we have contracts with are facing
potential budget deficits. Also, the number of requests for proposals issued by state and local
government agencies is subject to fluctuation. It is unclear what impact, if any, these deficits
may have on our future business, revenues, results of operations and cash flow.
International risks
Recently we have expanded our international operations and also continually contemplate the
acquisition of companies formed and operating in foreign countries. We have approximately 14,000
employees in Mexico, Guatemala, India, Ghana, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Spain, Malaysia,
Ireland, Germany, China, United Kingdom and Canada, as well as a number of other countries, that
primarily support our commercial business process and information technology outsourcing services.
Our international operations and acquisitions are subject to a number of risks. These risks include
the possible impact on our operations of the laws of foreign countries where we may do business
including, among others, data privacy, laws regarding licensing and labor council requirements. In
addition, we may experience difficulty integrating the management and operations of businesses we
acquire internationally, and we may have difficulty attracting, retaining and motivating highly
skilled and qualified personnel to staff key managerial positions in our ongoing international
operations. Further, our international operations and acquisitions are subject to a number of
risks related to general economic and political conditions in foreign countries where we operate,
including, among others, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, cultural differences,
political instability and additional expenses and risks inherent in conducting operations in
geographically distant locations. Our international operations and acquisitions may also be
impacted by trade restrictions, such as tariffs and duties or other trade controls imposed by the
United States or other jurisdictions, as well as other factors that may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and operating results. Because of these foreign operations we are
subject to regulations, such as those administered by the Department of Treasurys Office of
Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) and export control regulations administered by the Department of
Commerce. Violation of these regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against our
officers, and prohibitions against exporting, as well as damage to our reputation, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Armed hostilities and terrorist attacks
Terrorist attacks and further acts of violence or war may cause major instability in the U.S. and
other financial markets in which we operate. In addition, armed hostilities and acts of terrorism
may directly impact our physical facilities and operations, which are located in North America,
Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia and the Middle East, or those of
our clients. These developments subject our worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending
on their magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Failure to attract and retain necessary technical personnel, skilled management and qualified
subcontractors
Our success depends to a significant extent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly
skilled and qualified personnel and to subcontract with qualified, competent subcontractors. If we
fail to attract, train, and retain, sufficient numbers of these technically-skilled people or are
unable to contract with qualified,
10
competent subcontractors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be
materially and adversely affected. Experienced and capable personnel in the technology industry
remain in high demand, and there is continual competition for their talents. Our success also
depends on the skills, experience, and performance of key members of our management team and on
qualified, competent subcontractors. The loss of any key employee or the loss of a key subcontract
relationship could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow, results
of operations and prospects.
Servicing Risks
We service (for various lenders and under various service agreements) a portfolio of approximately
$23 billion of loans, as of September 30, 2005, made under the Federal Family Education Loan
Program, which loans are guaranteed by a Federal government agency. If a loan is in default, then
a claim is made upon the guarantor. If the guarantor denies the claim because of a servicing
error, then under certain of the servicing agreements we may be required to purchase the loan from
the lender. Upon purchase of the loan, we attempt to cure the servicing errors and either sell the
loan back to the guarantor (which must occur within a specified period of time) or sell the loan on
the open market to a third party. We are subject to the risk that we may be unable to cure the
servicing errors or sell the loan on the open market. Our reserves, which are based on historical
information, may be inadequate if our servicing performance results in the requirement that we
repurchase a substantial number of loans, which repurchase could have a material adverse impact on
our cash flow and profitability.
Disruption in Utility or Network Services
Our services are dependent on the companies providing electricity and other utilities to our
operating facilities, as well as network companies providing connectivity to our facilities and
clients. While there are backup systems in many of our operating facilities, an extended outage of
utility or network services may have a material adverse effect on our operations, revenues, cash
flow and profitability.
Indemnification Risk
Our contracts, including our agreements with respect to divestitures, include various
indemnification obligations. If we are required to satisfy an indemnification obligation, that may
have a material adverse effect on our business, profitability and cash flow.
Darwin Deason has Substantial Control over our Company and can Affect Virtually all Decisions Made
by our Stockholders
Darwin Deason beneficially owns 6,599,372 shares of Class B common stock and 2,349,030 shares of
the Class A common stock as of November 4, 2005. Mr. Deason controls approximately 37.13% of our
total voting power (based on total shares of common stock outstanding as of November 4, 2005). As
a result, Mr. Deason has the requisite voting power to significantly affect virtually all of our
decisions, including the power to block corporate actions such as an amendment to most provisions
of our certificate of incorporation. In addition, Mr. Deason may significantly influence the
election of directors and any other action requiring stockholder approval. Recommendations of our
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors regarding director nominees are
subject to the approval of Mr. Deason pursuant to his employment agreement with us. Mr. Deason has
an employment agreement, with a term that currently ends on May 18, 2010, provided that such term
shall automatically be extended for an additional year on May 18 of each year, unless thirty days
prior to May 18 of any year, Mr. Deason gives notice to us that he does not wish to extend the term
or our Board of Directors (upon a unanimous vote of the directors, except for Mr. Deason) gives
notice to Mr. Deason that it does not wish to extend the term.
Certain Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law Could Deter
Takeover Attempts
Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay, defer, prevent or make
more difficult a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest involving our capital stock. Our
stockholders might view transactions
11
such as these as being in their best interests because, for example, a change of control might
result in a price higher than the market price for shares of the Class A common stock. Among other
things, these provisions:
|
|
|
require an 80% vote of the stockholders to amend some provisions of our certificate
of incorporation; |
|
|
|
|
require an 80% vote of the stockholders to amend some provisions of our bylaws; |
|
|
|
|
permit only our Chairman, President or a majority of the Board of Directors to call
stockholder meetings; |
|
|
|
|
authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in series with the terms of each series to be fixed by our Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
|
authorize our Board of Directors to issue Class B Common Stock, which shares are
entitled to ten votes per share; |
|
|
|
|
permit directors to be removed, with or without cause, only by a vote of at least
80% of the combined voting power; and |
|
|
|
|
specify advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director
nominations to be considered at a meeting of stockholders. |
In addition, with some exceptions, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law restricts
mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our voting
stock.
We also have a stockholder rights plan. Under this plan, after the occurrence of specified events,
our stockholders will be able to buy stock from us or our successor at reduced prices. These rights
will not extend, however, to persons participating in takeover attempts without the consent of our
Board of Directors. Accordingly, this plan could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our
company.
Further, we have entered into severance agreements with certain of our executive officers, which
may have the effect of discouraging an unsolicited takeover proposal.
Availability of Significant Amounts of our Class A Common Stock for Sale Could Cause the Market
Price of the Class A Common Stock to Decline
There are a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock that may be issued and
subsequently sold under various employee benefit plans upon exercise of employee stock options, and
upon conversion of our Class B common stock. In addition we have 500,000,000 authorized shares of
Class A common stock. The sale or issuance of additional shares of our Class A common stock could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Class A common stock.
The Price of our Class A Common Stock may Fluctuate Significantly, which may Result in Losses for
Investors
The market price for the Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile. For example, during
the 52-week period ended November 11, 2005, the closing prices of the Class A common stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange ranged from a high of $61.23 per share to a low of $45.81
per share. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of
factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include and are not necessarily
limited to:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated variations in operating results from guidance provided by us; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our
competitors; |
|
|
|
|
announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions; |
12
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates or other statements by securities analysts or research firms; |
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
conditions or trends affecting the outsourcing industry; and |
|
|
|
|
changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other information
technology companies. |
Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of
securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock price could decline as a result.
In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have
particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many high technology companies.
These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the operating
performance of these companies. Any negative change in the publics perception of information
technology companies could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results.
Other Risks
We have attempted to identify material risk factors currently affecting our business and company.
However, additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial,
may occur or become material. These risks could impair our business operations or adversely affect
revenues, cash flow or profitability.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock by the
selling stockholders to the public pursuant to this resale prospectus. All proceeds from the sale
of the Class A common stock by the selling stockholders will be for the account of such selling
stockholder. We will, however, receive the exercise price of options at the time of their
exercise. Such proceeds will be contributed to working capital and be used for general corporate
purposes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Class A common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholder,
or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one
or more
15
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and at terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions.
The shares of Class A common stock may be sold by one or more of the following, without limitation:
|
(a) |
|
a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
(b) |
|
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or
dealer or for its account pursuant to the resale prospectus, as supplemented; |
|
|
(c) |
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and |
|
|
(d) |
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers. |
The selling stockholder and sales to and through other broker-dealers or agents that
participate with the selling stockholder in the sale of the shares of Class A common stock may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with
these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares of Class A common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.
In addition, any securities covered by this resale prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this resale prospectus, as
supplemented. From time to time, the selling stockholder may engage in short sales, short sales
against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives thereof,
and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith. Sales may also take place from time to
time through brokers pursuant to pre-arranged sales plans intended to qualify under Commission Rule
10b5-1.
There is no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares
of the Class A common stock covered by this resale prospectus.
All expenses of registration of the Class A common stock, other than commissions and discounts
of underwriters, dealers or agents, shall be borne by us. As and when we are required to update
this resale prospectus, we may incur additional expenses.

respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.
The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as
well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a
judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no
indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of liability unless the court, in
its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.
Our bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors, officers and certain non-officer
employees under certain circumstances against expenses (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
any threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding in which any such person is involved by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or employee of our company if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of our company and, with respect to criminal actions or proceedings, if such person had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Our Second Amended and restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, no director shall be personally liable to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors.
We may advance expenses for the defense of any action for which indemnification may be
available under certain circumstances. The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to
reduce the circumstances under which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic
burden of the foregoing liabilities and expenses. Directors and officers will be covered by
liability insurance indemnifying them against damages arising out of certain kinds of claims which
might be made against them based on their negligent acts or omissions while acting in their
capacity as such.
We have directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and
officers. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and
executive officers, consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws.

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; |
|
|
|
|
(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 and of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC 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
Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(g) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference to the Registration
Statement. |
19
|
(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; and |
|
|
(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 registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plans 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 SEC 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. |
