PART II

 

Item 3.             Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

 

The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:

 

(a)           The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2010 filed on February 17, 2011 which contains audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year for which such statements have been filed;

 

(b)           All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant document referred to in (a) above; and

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15 (d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters the securities covered hereby then remamaining unsold, shall also be deemed incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the respective dates on which such documents are filed.

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.             Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.             Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2



 

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

·      for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;

 

·      for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

·      under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

 

·      for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s bylaws provide that:

 

·      the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions where indemnification is not permitted by applicable law;

 

·      the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to certain limited exceptions; and

 

·      the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.

 

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers.  The indemnification agreements provide indemnification to such directors and officers under certain circumstances for expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with actions or proceedings brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the Registrant.

 

The Registrant has obtained directors’ and officers’ insurance to cover its directors and officers for certain liabilities.

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 therein any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)           to reflect in such prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 herein; and

 

(iii)          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;

 

provided, however, that clauses (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic 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 into this Registration Statement;

 

(2)           that, for purposes 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 Plan.

 

(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 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 into this 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 the indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for 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 a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, 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 of 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.
