1. SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY AND THIS OFFERING

1.1 The Company

National Health & Safety Corporation ("NHLT" or the "Company") since 1993 has provided health care products and services to the general public on a discount basis. We have developed a medical benefits network Medical Benefits Network ("POWERx"), which offersed discounts on a wide array of medical and supplemental benefits for consumers. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, MedSmart Healthcare Network, Inc. ("MedSmart") and its outsourced partner, New Benefits, Inc., we recently introduced a comprehensive healthcare benefits discount program called "Health VIP" for marketing and distribution to employers, groups and associations. See Section 1.4, Recent Developments- Agreement with New Benefits, page 6.

1.3 Historical Developments

Bankruptcy Proceedings

We spent the period from 1993 through June 1999 primarily trying to develop a medical benefits network, called POWERx. POWERx was a predecessor of our current Health VIP program. NHLT attempted to use its internal staff and resources to develop and market this first benefits network. This effort proved unsuccessful, and on July 1, 1999, NHLT voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Untied States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (file no. 99-18339). In 1999, with approval of the Bankruptcy Court, we sold POWERx to MedSmart Healthcare Network, Inc., ("MedSmart") for $150,000 cash, paid in five installments in 1999 and 2000, plus an insignificant amount of royalty payments.

3

Prior to the sale of POWERx to MedSmart, POWERx had not been a marketing success. Total membership never exceeded 25,000. NHLT had marketed POWERx to corporations, unions, associations, chambers of commerce, insurance companies and other organizations. Prior to the reorganization, NHLT did not succeed in attracting the necessary financial and personnel resources to capture enough market share for a critical mass.

Effective October 1, 1999, MedSmart acquired all rights to POWERx from NHLT. After reviewing the POWERx program, MedSmart determined that barriers to sale that were inherent in the POWERx business model caused its lack of success. Prospective members had been asked to make a relatively large annual fee commitment (up to $199) before experiencing the benefits and cost savings of POWERx membership. Prospective members were provided no incremental means for financing these membership fees.

MedSmart revised the POWERx business model to provide for two forms of membership. In the new business plan, MedSmart developed a transaction fee membership concept with a relatively low $25 annual fee, in return for which MedSmart would receive a potion of the discounted member savings as the savings were incurred. Medsmart would continue to offer an annual fee card, where the consumer would receive all of the available discounts in return for payment of a higher ($69 to $199) annual fee.

MedSmart also developed new strategies to market the POWERx program to individuals and groups using direct corporate marketing to large, self-insured organizations, through Internet distribution, and through affinity group marketing with associations such as credit unions. Prior to the reorganization, NHLT had primarily relied on direct mail marketing and a small independent broker network, due to its lack of resources to pursue more aggressive marketing tactics.

After MedSmart acquired POWERx, MedSmart concentrated its efforts in 1999 and 2000 on redeveloping the POWERx business model. Prior to NHLT's acquisition of MedSmart as part of the bankruptcy reorganization, MedSmart developed an internet and relational database technology system to market and manage POWERx, developed an Internet website to assist in marketing, and established a new customer service facility in Dallas, Texas. During 2000, while MedSmart redesigned the business plan, new marketing efforts virtually ceased. MedSmart received minimal revenue from servicing the small base of existing POWERx customers.

MedSmart also expressed interest in formulating a Plan of Reorganization for NHLT to emerge from bankruptcy.

Our discussions with MedSmart resulted in a Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization that the Bankruptcy Court confirmed in November 2000 and that we implemented in January 2001. As part of the plan, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of MedSmart for 130,000,000 shares of our common stock. MedSmart now operates as our wholly owned subsidiary. Also as part of the plan, five investors, who were affiliated with MedSmart, purchased 45,000,000 shares of our common stock for $600,000 cash in January 2001. We used $300,000 of this money to pay allowed administrative claims from the bankruptcy and the remaining $300,000 for working capital to commence the restructuring of our business strategy.for working capital. The former MedSmart shareholders now own a majority of our common stock. These shareholders now wish to register and sell some of their NHLT shares.

The reorganization resulted in a restructuring of our Balance Sheet and eliminated approximately $4.223 million of debt, as of March 31, 2001. Our MedSmart subsidiary has commenced a new wholesale business strategy with its strategic alliance with New Benefits, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. The reorganization allowed us to restart our sales and development efforts with a limited amount of new operating capital, but we need additional operating capital to fully implement our business plan, and we do not yet know whether our reorganized company will ultimately succeed.

Jimmy E. Nix, Sr., played a key role in the creating MedSmart and in developing our Plan of Reorganization. Mr. Nix had controlled a majority of the shares of MedSmart, had expected to provide much of the $600,000 cash investment in NHLT to implement the Plan and had expected to become the chief executive of NHLT after Plan implementation. After the Bankruptcy Court confirmed our Plan, but before it was implemented, Mr. Nix passed away in December 2000. After his death, we had to locate new management and capital resources to implement the Plan. Mr. Gary Davis, who became our chief executive officer after the reorganization, agreed to provide financing and management. The Nix family, including Mr. Nix, Sr.'s son, Jimmy E. Nix II, provided additional financing, and Mr. Nix, II, joined the MedSmart's management and our board of directors. In connection with the reorganization, we expanded the board of directors to five members and the existing directors appointed three new directors. All of

4

the new directors were affiliated with the investors who purchased stock for cash in implementing the plan of reorganization. See Section 1.42, Recent Developments, page 53.

We discussed our plan of reorganization and the combination of MedSmart and NHLT in detail in our report on Form 8-K dated January 22, 2001, filed with the SEC, and in the most recent amendment umber 3 to that 8-K, filed on September 25, 2001.

Currently, we have approximately 150 contracts with various organizations to provide access to POWERx benefits. Approximately 1,200 POWERx cards are presently in use. Current POWERx cardholders will be asked to convert their membership to Health VIP, if they refuse, we intend to refund the unexpired portion of their membership premium. Existing POWERx Cardholders that have memberships expiring in the next 60 days will receive a letter inviting them to purchase a Health VIP card instead of renewing their POWERx card. POWERx Cardholders with more than 60 days left of their membership will be invited to convert their membership to Health VIP. The members will be given full credit for the months remaining on their current POWERx card towards the purchase of a Health VIP card. We intend to send a refund check to any cardholders that do not convert their membership, for the pro rata portion of their remaining membership term on October 1.

1.4 Recent Developments

Since implementing our plan of reorganization in January 2001, we have changed the Company's management, instituted cost cutting measures, and formed an alliance to enable us to provide a broader range of services. We decided to outsource the development and provision of benefits services, to refocus on marketing efforts on becoming a wholesaler of benefits programs, and to implement a new brand "the Health VIP program" to replace the POWERx brand.

Management - Agreement with First Advisors, Inc.

Gary J. Davis became president of NHLT in January 2001, after the plan of reorganization was implemented. Mr. Davis is an officer of the general partner of the IPA Investors, LP, which purchased 15,000,000 of our common shares for $200,000 as part of the reorganization. Mr. Davis also acquired shares of NHLT stock individually as a result of the exchange offer by NHLT for shares of MedSmart. Mr. Davis has chosen to provide services to NHLT and to be compensated by NHLT through First Advisors, Inc., a personal consulting company wholly owned by Mr. Davis.

On May 7, 2001, we entered into a management services agreement with First Advisors, Inc., in which Mr. Davis, through First Advisors, will analyze the current status of and recommend improvements for the Company and MedSmart in regard to the Company's business plan, financial condition, management and personnel and strategic and professional relationships. The agreement was negotiated between First Advisors and the directors of NHLT other than Mr. Davis. The board approved the Agreement, but Mr. Davis, who is a director of NHLT and also the President of First Advisors, abstained from the vote.

Founded in 1996, First Advisors, Inc. is a privately held corporation owned by Mr. Davis. First Advisors also sponsors investment limited partnerships that invest in start-up and early stage business ventures, primarily in the software, Internet and financial services industries. An investment partnership affiliated with Mr. Davis provided capital to us in January to facilitate our reorganization plan. First Advisors also provides business consultation services, such as marketing, sales, technology and strategic thinking, to its portfolio companies and other third party clients. The consulting relationship will last one year, unless either party gives 30 days notice of canceling the relationship.

The Company will pay First Advisors between 750,000 and 1,250,000 shares of NHLT each month for services, as well as reimbursement for expenses.

The Company will pay First Advisors 1,250,000 shares of NHLT each month for services, as well as reimbursement for expenses. Mr. Davis is personally providing services under the Management Services Agreement with NHLT and thus is being compensated 1,250,000 shares each month through First Advisors. He has not received a salary for his role as President and CEO of NHLT since March 14, 2001.

Provision of Benefits - Agreement with New Benefits, Inc.

On May 7, 2001, we retained the services of New Benefits, Inc. to facilitate the day to day operations of Health VIP, our the medical benefits discount program. We entered into the agreement with New Benefits in order to reduce the costs of developing and maintaining the technology, systems and personnel required to run and support the network. The services developed by New Benefits are essentially the same as those that had been developed by NHLT and MedSmart. However, the expense of maintaining network contracts and the critical mass of membership required to receive favorable pricing was a determining factor in NHLT deciding to utilize New Benefits and its network in lieu of the network that NHLT and MedSmart tried to develop internally. Additionally, New Benefits has the capacity to process significant volumes of new memberships that NHLT anticipates it can generate through its new marketing initiatives.

This relationship with New Benefits provides MedSmart us with the capability to sell and distribute a large volume of membership discount cards quickly and efficiently, enabling prompt fulfillment of the company's contracts with existing and future customers.

Founded in 1989, New Benefits is a privately held company in Dallas Texas and an established leader in designing, manufacturing and packaging healthcare related products and services on a national basis. New Benefits has pioneered a membership fulfillment process that can be customized to meet each company's needsfor each company. All of the benefits programs are supported by innovative technology, which is fully automated. For example, New Benefits can generate up to 4,000 membership cards per hour - an amount that significantly exceeds our current needs. New Benefits' subsidiaries include Coast to Coast Vision, UHS Chiropractic, and Mail Order Pharmacy. Its chairman and CEO, Joel Ray, has more than 20 years experience in the ancillary healthcare benefits industry. Currently, New Benefits services a membership base of more than 8 million cardholders.

Under the terms of the new agreement, MedSmart will outsource certain administrative functions to New Benefits, including enrollment and processing of new members, fulfillment of membership kits, renewal notification, and member support through live representatives, a toll-free automated referral system and the Internet. New Benefits will furnish the provider network and processes enrollment of members for MedSmart and NHLT. It will provide fulfillment kits containing information for new members and provides customer service for members recruited to its benefit network by NHLT and MedSmart.

The services offered by New Benefits are being marketed by NHLT and MedSmart under the Health VIP brand. We also plan to offer other private label brands as determined by future customer needs and desires. New Benefits sells the same services under the Sterling card brand and other private label brands as well. Under the terms of the contract between NHLT and New Benefits, NHLT has non-circumvention protection for any prospective or actual customer it registers with New Benefits. This protection allows NHLT to offer the New Benefits program under its own Health VIP or other private label brand and be paid by New Benefits, Inc. for its training, marketing and sales efforts.

We believe that working with New Benefits will allow MedSmart us to concentrate its our resources on marketing and business development efforts that it we anticipates will significantly increase its our membership base and revenues.

Marketing - Agreement with

DM Benefit Group

During June 2001, we decided to change our focus by becoming a wholesaler of benefits programs to distributors and direct marketing firms that have experience in selling to target consumer groups and business employer groups. We redirected our efforts from seeking new card holders among consumer and employer groups, to seeking other sales organizations to make those contacts for us. On June 28, 2001, we signed a marketing agreement with DM Benefit Group, LLC, of Austin, Texas. We hired DM Benefit Group to launch a marketing program targeted at selected credit unions throughout the United States. We chose DM Benefit Group because we believe that its principal, John Flynn, can successfully direct a marketing effort to credit unions because of his previous management experience with various credit unions for over 22 years.

When we concluded the DM Benefit Group agreement, we commenced efforts to sign new independent contractor agreements with the 60 sales agents who had been selling POWERx for MedSmart, on approximately the same terms as for DM Benefit Group. Our goal is to become a wholesaler of our benefits program to distribution organizations such as DM Benefit Group, who will market our program to targeted audiences based on their existing contacts with those audiences.

6

Launching the Health VIP Program

Also in June 2001, we decided to roll out a new health benefits program, called the Health VIP program. The benefits program operates in the same fashion as MedSmart's original POWERx benefits program, but it relies exclusively relies on our relationship with New Benefits to provide health benefits, customer enrollment and customer services. We intend to market the Health VIP program using independent contractor agreements such as our arrangement with DM Benefit Group. Our role will be to attract independent marketers to sell the Health VIP program and to monitor the benefits and customer services provided by New Benefits.

We decided to phase out the POWERx program, which had never enrolled enough subscribers to be a commercial success. Current POWERx cardholders will be asked to convert their membership to Health VIP, if they refuse, the unexpired portion of their membership premium will be refunded. Existing POWERx Cardholders that have memberships expiring in the next 60 days will receive a letter inviting them to purchase a Health VIP card instead of renewing their POWERx card. POWERx Cardholders with more than 60 days left of their membership will be invited to convert their membership to Health VIP. The members will be given full credit for the months remaining on their current POWERx card towards the purchase of a Health VIP card. Any cardholders that do not convert their membership will be sent a refund check for the pro rata portion of there remaining membership term on October 1.

2. RISK FACTORS

In this section we highlight the risks associated with our business and operations. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors when evaluating an investment in the common stock offered by this Prospectus.

2.1 We have a history of losses and expect more losses in the foreseeable future.

We filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in 1999 because we could not operate profitably. In 2000, we virtually ceased operations, as we had sold POWERx to MedSmart and had no business except income from minimal sales. After emerging from bankruptcy in January 2001, we have continued to have losses from operations, although we realized positive total income in the first quarter due to forgiveness of debt and other accounting transactions associated with the bankruptcy organization. We cannot predict when, if ever, we will begin to operate at a profit. Our auditors have included a going concern qualification in their report on our financial statements for the years 1999 and 2000.

2.2 We will need additional capital to continue and expand operations.

We have depended on capital provided by financing during the bankruptcy proceedings as well as on equity provided by the investment of $600,000 in our stock by new investors when we emerged from bankruptcy. This investment has proved insufficient for us to achieve profitable operations without additional investments. We likely must find additional capital of approximately $300,000 to $500,000, either in the form of loans or sale of more equity, to provide operating capital until the MedSmart business generates positive cash flow.fully implement its new wholesale business strategy. We will need the additional capital during the third and fourth quarters of 2001. The absence of additional capital will require us to scale back the implementation of our new business strategy and potentially cease active business operations until we can negotiate an alternative capital strategy. Given our history of losses, we cannot be sure that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to continue in business until we become profitable.

2.3 We recently changed our business model and don't know if it will succeed.

In May 2001, we retained the services of New Benefits, Inc. to facilitate the day to day operations of our Health VIPPOWERx medical benefits discount program. New Benefits will provide MedSmart with the capability to sell and distribute a large volume of membership discount cards quickly and efficiently, enabling prompt fulfillment of the company's contracts with existing and future customers. Under the terms of the new agreement, MedSmart will outsource certain administrative functions to New Benefits, including enrollment and processing of new members, fulfillment of

7

membership kits, renewal notification, and member support through live representatives, a toll-free automated referral system and the Internet. We chose to outsource these services to reduce our costs, increase our services to customers and allow MedSmart to concentrate its resources on marketing and business development efforts. We do not know, however, whether our use of New Benefits will prove successful or let us operate profitably. We are unable to control the quality of service that New Benefits provides. New Benefits could misappropriate confidential client information.

2.4 New Benefits could market its established brand direct to our own customers.

New Benefits is an established provider of discount health care services through its own discount medical card and other discounting arrangements with other providers. New Benefits sells the same services which we provide through the Health VIP program under the Sterling card brand and other private label brands as well. Customers could purchase much the same services that we sell directly from New Benefits instead of from us, and they could harm our sales if they compete directly with us for customers.

We are phasing out oOur POWERx program and implementing the Health VIP program with the assistance of New Benefits, but will be a competing product, and New Benefits will be able to use its established relationships and its internal organization to compete with us. We believe that our marketing and sales approach will be able to capture a share of the markets, and that we will profit from our relationship with New Benefits. However, we will not be offering services on terms better than New Benefits can already provide, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully compete with them or with other discount health service providers for business.

We have a non-circumvention provision in our agreement with New Benefits to keep New Benefits from marketing its products independently to any prospective or actual customer that we register with New Benefits. This provision allows us to offer the New Benefits program under our own Health VIP or other private label brand.

2.5 We depend on New Benefits as the sole source of the services we sell.

The relationship with New Benefits is strategic. We depend upon New Benefits for implementing our new wholesale business strategy. At present, they are our sole provider for the benefits programs we sell. Should the New Benefits relationship be terminated for any reason, or should New Benefits no longer remain in business, we would need to replace them with a comparable company capable of providing the same level of benefits, membership processing and customer support to enable us to continue with our wholesale strategy. We believe other companies capable and willing of providing a competitive service currently exist in the marketplace and will continue to exist in the foreseeable future, but we cannot be sure that we could find a satisfactory replacement on a timely basis, without materially hurting the Health VIP sales and service.

 

2.6 We have new management without experience in our business.

As part of our reorganization, Gary Davis became our president and a director in January 2001. In May 2001, we executed a management contract with First Advisors, Inc., a company wholly owned by Mr. Davis, of Austin, Texas, to provide business consultation services to us and to MedSmart. First Advisors has experience in investing and in investment management but not in the management of a business such as ours.

Under the terms of the agreement, First Advisors will assist and advise MedSmart, with the specific goal of facilitating thea high volume implementation of its medical benefits discount program. In addition, First Advisors will assist National Health & Safety with attracting additional investment capital, refining the company's marketing and sales plans to grow revenues, and establishing strategic relationships with prospective suppliers, customers, and distribution partners. We cannot be sure if First Advisors will succeed in raising capital or in improving our operations.

2.7 Our stock price is low and may be volatile.

We have more than 250,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Since we emerged from bankruptcy in January 2001, our stock has traded in the over the counter market at prices less than $0.10 per share. In July 2001 the price remained below $0.05 per share Volume has also been low. On many days no trades are recorded, and

8

volume seldom rises above 300,000 shares daily. While the price has not been volatile recently, at our historic volume and price over the last few months only a few trades, involving very little money invested, would be sufficient to dramatically change the price of our stock. Like other companies with low prices and volume, it would be possible for someone to attempt to manipulate the price of our stock with an investment of only a few thousand dollars.

2.8 When currently restricted shares become eligible for sale, our stock price may drop.

If investors who now have restricted shares decide to sell their shares when they become eligible for sale, the large number of sellers could depress the price of our stock, or at least keep the price from rising. Most of the new common shares that we issued in the bankruptcy reorganization was were issued in the MedSmart acquisition (130,000,000 shares) or the new capital investment (45,000,000 shares) and constitute restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933, so those shares may not be sold without registration under that Act, unless some exemption from registration is available. Some of this stock may become eligible for resale under the provisions of the SEC's Rule 144 in one year from its issuance, in January 2002, although much of it is held by our affiliates and will not become eligible for resale for two years.

The stock that we issued to creditors and claimants in the bankruptcy reorganization is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, those investors are free to sell their stock in the open markets without restrictions imposed by the registration requirements of federal securities laws. The total amount of outstanding unrestricted common stock currently eligible for resale is approximately 75,000,000 shares, plus the shares being registered in this offering. If a significant number of shareholders decide to sell their shares at about the same time, it could have a further depressing effect on our stock price, or at least could keep our stock price from rising significantly.

2.9 You may not be able to sell your shares because of the penny stock rules.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions. Our stock is subject to these regulations, which require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. The existence of these rules may make it more difficult to sell NHLT stock than for other, more established companies.

The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or through brokers-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent (which compensation may be less than or in excess of customary commissions).

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the 1933 Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the Shares sold by them may be deemed be underwriting discounts and commissions under the 1933 Act. All selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders will be borne by the Selling Shareholders. In addition to any Shares sold hereunder, the Selling Shareholders may, at the same time, sell any shares of common stock, including the Shares, owned by him or her in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this Reoffer Prospectus.

10. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

Under Article VIII of our Articles of Incorporation, we have eliminated the potential liability of Directors, Officers and employees to us, and are required to indemnify our Directors, Officers, and employees against any liability for monetary damages, to the extent allowed by Utah law. The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act ("URBCA") allows corporations, including our Company, to eliminate or limit the liability of directors for monetary damages except liability for financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled, intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, for unlawful distributions, or intentional violation of criminal law. The URBCA provisions do not affect the availability of equitable remedies against directors nor change the standard of duty to which directors are held.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that, in its opinion, indemnification of officers and directors for violations of federal securities laws is unenforceable and void as a matter of public policy.

Item 15 Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Article VIII of our Articles of Incorporation, we have eliminated the potential liability of Directors, Officers and employees to us, and are required to indemnify our Directors, Officers, and employees against any liability for monetary damages, to the extent allowed by Utah law. The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act ("URBCA") allows corporations, including our Company, to eliminate or limit the liability of directors for monetary damages except liability for financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled, intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, for unlawful distributions, or intentional violation of criminal law. The URBCA provisions do not affect the availability of equitable remedies against directors nor change the standard of duty to which directors are held.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that, in its opinion, indemnification of officers and directors for violations of federal securities laws is unenforceable and void as a matter of public policy.

Item 16 Exhibits and Financial Statements

See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17 Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(1) To include any additional material information on the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(b) That, for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant will treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

 

13

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the 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 shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Even though 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 provisions set forth or described in Item 15 of this Registration Statement, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
