Item 4. Description of Securities. Not Applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification of directors, officers and employees of a corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law as set forth in Section 102(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including full or partial indemnification for any judgment, settlement or related expense. In addition, advances of expenses to officers and directors are permitted upon an undertaking by the person to be indemnified to repay all such expenses if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification. The indemnification provision in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation applies to all actions and proceedings including those brought by or in the right of the Company. Directors and officers remain liable (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. In November 2001 the Company purchased an aggregate of $5,000,000 of insurance from National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh for indemnification of all of its directors and officers at a cost of $43,750. II-1 Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. Not Applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. Exhibit Number Description ------- ----------- 10.1 2001 Stock Option Plan -- incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on May 31, 2001. 23 Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP. Item 9. Undertakings. (1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (a) 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; 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)(i)(ii) do not apply to information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs which are contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (b) 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; (c) 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. (2) 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 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. 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 II-2 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 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 New York, State of New York, on this 2nd day of April, 2002.
