Item 4. Description of Securities

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

UCN’s Charter provides that, to the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), no director or officer of UCN shall have any liability to UCN or its stockholders for monetary damages. The DGCL provides that

 

2


a corporation’s charter may include a provision which restricts or limits the liability of its directors or officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1) to the extent that it is provided that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (2) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. UCN’s Charter and Bylaws provide that UCN shall indemnify and advance expenses to its currently acting and its former directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and that UCN shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law.

 

The Charter and Bylaws provide that UCN will indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify employees or agents of UCN to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with UCN. However, nothing in the Charter or Bylaws of UCN protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director or officer has been successful in defense of any proceeding, our Bylaws provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

 

UCN maintains an officer’s and director’s liability insurance policy insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as such, and insuring the UCN under certain circumstances, in the event that indemnification payments are made to such officers and directors.

 

UCN has also entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with certain of its directors and officers (individually, the “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The Indemnification Agreements provide for the prompt advancement of all expenses to the Indemnitee and for reimbursement to UCN if it is found that such Indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law. The Indemnification Agreements also provide that after a change in control (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements) of UCN, all determinations regarding a right to indemnity and the right to advancement of expenses shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee.

 

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

A. SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURE.

 

The Company hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, 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 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 in this Registration Statement;

 

(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 herein, 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. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE.

 

The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of

 

4


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 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. TRANSMIT CERTAIN MATERIAL.

 

The Company hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or given a copy of the Company’s annual report to stockholders for its last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report in which case the Company shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the employee. If the last fiscal year of the Company has ended within 120 days prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual report for the preceding year may be so delivered, but within such 120 day period the annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.

 

D. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

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 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 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.
