OUR BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

AccessIT was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We provide fully managed storage, electronic delivery and software services and technology solutions for owners and distributors of digital content to movie theaters and other venues. We have generated revenues from two primary businesses, media services (“Media Services”) and internet data center ("IDC" or "data center") services (“Data Center Services”). Our Media Services business provides software, services and technology solutions to the motion picture and television industries, primarily to facilitate the transition from analog (film) to digital cinema and has positioned us at what we believe to be the forefront of an emerging industry opportunity relating to the delivery and management of digital cinema and other content to entertainment and other remote venues worldwide. This is currently our primary strategic focus. Our Data Center Services are comprised of three leased IDCs that provide corporate customers with secure and fail-safe off-site locations to house their computer and telecommunications equipment, as well as related services such as equipment monitoring and back-up and protection of customers' data. We have decided to realign our resources and to dispose of our Data Center Services.  We will continue to support the Data Center Services while making a determination with respect to the disposition thereof. The discontinuation of our Data Center Services represents a strategic realignment of our technical and financial resources, thus enabling us to focus on what we believe are more profitable business opportunities for the Company.

 

Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (“DCI”) was created in March 2002 as a joint venture of seven motion picture studios: Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (Disney), Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (Fox), Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros. Studios. The primary purpose of DCI was to recommend uniform industry-wide specifications for digital cinema, in order to provide real benefits to theater audiences, theater owners, filmmakers and distributors. In June 2005, DCI announced recommendations regarding the final overall system requirements and specifications for digital cinema (the “DCI Recommendations”). The DCI Recommendations define technical specifications and requirements recommended for the mastering of, distribution of, and theatrical playback of digital cinema content. AccessIT’s processes and Systems (as defined below) operate in accordance with the DCI Recommendations.

 

In June 2005, in anticipation of the DCI Recommendations, we entered into a digital cinema framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. (“Christie”) through our then-newly formed indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Christie/AIX, Inc. (“Christie/AIX”) to purchase Christie's digital cinema projection systems (the "Systems") at agreed-upon prices to be installed nationwide (the “Digital Cinema Roll-Out”).

 

Distributors can send us digital cinema movie content or alternative digital content as a digital cinema distribution master (“DCDM”), which the distributors developed under the DCI Recommendations and are encrypted and transported to exhibitors.

 

We believe Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out requires four key components:

 

Each of these four key components are provided within our Media Services.

 

MEDIA SERVICES

 

The Media Services segment of our business consists of two units: the Digital Media Delivery Services and Entertainment Software Services. Digital Media Delivery Services is comprised of FiberSat Global Services, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Satellite and Support Services, (“AccessIT Satellite”), Access Digital Media, Inc. (“AccessDM” and, together with AccessIT Satellite, “DMS”), ADM Cinema Corporation (“ADM Cinema”) d/b/a the Pavilion Theatre (the “Pavilion Theatre”), Christie/AIX, UniqueScreen Media, Inc. (“USM”) and Vistachiara Productions, Inc. d/b/a The Bigger Picture (“The Bigger Picture”).

Entertainment Software Services is comprised of Hollywood Software, Inc. d/b/a AccessIT Software (“AccessIT SW”) and DMS.

 

Digital Media Delivery Services

 

 

In March 2004, AccessDM acquired certain digital cinema related assets of the Boeing Company (the “Boeing Digital Asset Acquisition”).

 

In November 2004, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of FiberSat Global Services, LLC (the “FiberSat Acquisition”).

 

In February 2005, through ADM Cinema, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Pavilion Theatre located in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, New York from Pritchard Square Cinema, LLC (the “Pavilion Theatre Acquisition”).

 

In June 2005, we formed Christie/AIX to purchase Systems for Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, under the Framework Agreement with Christie. In September 2005, pursuant to a second amendment to the Framework Agreement, Christie and Christie/AIX agreed to extend the number of Systems which may be ordered to 4,000 Systems.

 

In July 2006, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of USM from USM’s stockholders.

 

In January 2007, through our wholly owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture, we purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF.

 

Each System, purchased from Christie, consists of a Digital Light Processor (or DLP) Cinema™ 2K projector, capable of both 2-D and 3-D display, a digital cinema server, and such other components and software and any applicable upgrades along with a central library server, with the exhibitor’s copy of our Theatre Command Center software installed, connecting all Systems within a theatre complex, together with a storage array, computer rack, uninterrupted power source, main switch and patch panel.

Current licensed software of Christie/AIX consists of the following:

 

 

In February 2006, Christie/AIX entered into an agreement with Philips Electronics Nederland B.V. (“Philips”) for a non-exclusive, worldwide right to use software license for Philips’ software Cinefence (the “Cinefence License”). The Cinefence License is for an initial period of twelve years and renews automatically each year unless terminated by either party upon written notice. Cinefence is a watermarking detector for the detection of audio and video watermarks in content distributed through digital cinema. Christie/AIX incorporates Cinefence into the Systems deployed with motion picture exhibitors participating in Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out.

 

Market Opportunity

 

According to the Motion Picture Association, on average, there were approximately 530 new movie releases for each of the past two years. The average major movie is released to approximately 4,000 screens in the United States and 8,000 screens worldwide. According to the National Association of Theatre Owners, there are approximately 105,000 screens worldwide that play major movie releases, with approximately 36,000 screens located in the United States.

 

We believe that:

 

 

To date, in connection with Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, Christie/AIX has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with six motion picture studios and a digital cinema agreement with one alternative content provider for the distribution of digital movie releases and alternate content to motion picture exhibitors equipped with Systems, and providing for payment of virtual print fees to Christie/AIX. As of December 31, 2006, Christie/AIX has entered into master license agreements

with eight motion picture exhibitors for the placement of Systems in movie theatres covering a total of 3,040 screens (includes screens at AccessIT’s Pavilion Theatre) and has installed 1,693 Systems. As of March 31, 2007, we completed the first 2,275 System installations and it is our intention to complete all 4,000 System installations by October 31, 2007.

 

Entertainment Software Services

 

 

In November 2003, we acquired all of the capital stock of AccessIT SW, a leading provider of proprietary transactional support software and consulting services for distributors and exhibitors of filmed entertainment in the United States and Canada (the “AccessIT SW Acquisition”).

 

In June 2006, the Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, PLX Acquisition Corp. (“PLX Acquisition”), purchased substantially all the assets of PLX Systems Inc. (“PLX”) and Right Track Solutions Incorporated (“Right Track”). PLX Acquisition provides technology, expertise and core competencies in IP rights and royalty management, expanding the Company’s ability to bring alternative forms of content, such as non-traditional feature films. PLX’s and Right Track’s assets have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT SW.

 

Products

 

AccessIT SW provides proprietary software applications and services to support customers of varying sizes, through software licenses, its ASP Service in which it hosts the application in one of our IDCs and client access via the Internet, provides outsourced film distribution services, called IndieDirect, and IP rights and royalty management. Current proprietary software of AccessIT SW consists of the following:

Current proprietary software of DMS for exhibition management consists of the following:

 

 

Exhibition Management

 

We believe that our EMS™ system is one of the most powerful and comprehensive systems available to manage all key elements of motion picture exhibition. This fully supported solution can exchange information with every financial, ticketing, point-of-sale, distributor and data system to eliminate manual processes. Also, EMS™ is designed to create innovative revenue opportunities for motion picture exhibitors from the presentation of new and/or additional advertising and alternative entertainment in their movie theaters due to the expanding use of digital content delivery.

 

Our TCC system, provides in-theatre management for digitally–equipped movie theaters, enabling one to control all the screens in a movie theatre, manage content and version review, show building, program scheduling and encryption security key management from a central terminal, whether located in the projection booth, the theatre manager’s office or both.

 

Domestic Theatrical Distribution Management

 

AccessIT SW’s TDS product is currently licensed to several motion picture studios, including 20th Century Fox, the Weinstein Company, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios. These studios comprised approximately 33.4%, 11.5%, 8.0% and 5.2%, respectively, of AccessIT SW’s revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Several distributors utilize AccessIT SW’s products through its ASP Service, including IFC Films, Newmarket Films, Magnolia Pictures, Gold Circle Films, Maple Pictures and IFS. In addition, AccessIT SW licenses to customers other distribution-related software, including MPPS and MMS, which further automate and manage related aspects of movie distribution, including advertising, strategic theater selection and competitive release planning.

 

AccessIT SW also provides outsourced movie distribution services, specifically for independent film distributors and producers, through IndieDirect. The IndieDirect staff uses the TDS distribution software to provide back office movie booking, tracking, reporting, settlement, and receivables management services.

 

International Theatrical Distribution Management

 

In 2004, AccessIT SW began developing TDSg, an international version of our successful TDS application, to support worldwide movie distribution and has the capability to run either from a single central location or multiple locations. In December 2004, AccessIT SW signed an agreement to license TDSg to 20th Century Fox, who will implement the software in fourteen overseas territories, encompassing eighteen foreign offices, over approximately eighteen months. As with our North American TDS solution, the TDSg system seamlessly integrates with AccessIT’s digital content delivery services, significantly enhancing our international market opportunities.

 

IP Rights and Royalty Management

 

AccessIT SW also provides software for the management of IP rights and royalties, called Right Track, which was acquired in the acquisition of PLX.

 

Distributed Software

 

AccessIT SW also distributes Vista, a theatre ticketing solution, developed by Vista Entertainment Solutions Limited (“Vista Entertainment”) which is based in New Zealand. AccessIT SW is currently the only United States-based distributor of Vista

to the United States theatre market. Under our distribution agreement with Vista Entertainment, AccessIT SW earns a percentage of license fees, maintenance fees and consulting fees generated from each Vista product we sell.

 

Market Opportunity

 

The customers for AccessIT SW’s existing software and consulting services consist principally of worldwide motion picture studios and North American motion picture exhibitor chains. Upon the completion of TDSg, our international version of TDS, we will have the ability to support worldwide movie distribution.

 

We believe that:

 

 

DATA CENTER OPERATIONS

 

We have decided to realign our resources and dispose of our Data Center Services other than the businesses operated by Core Technology Services, Inc. (“Core”) and by AccessIT through its Access Digital Server Assets (as defined below). The disposition of our Data Center Services represents a strategic realignment of our technical and financial resources, thus enabling us to focus on what we believe are more profitable business opportunities for the Company.

 

The Data Center Services segment of our business consists of two units: our IDCs or Data Centers, comprised of assets owned by the Company, and Managed Services, comprised of Core and the Access Digital Server Assets.

 

 

In January 2004, we acquired Core, a managed service provider of information technologies (the “Managed Services Acquisition”) which operates a 24x7 GNCC, capable of running the networks and systems of large corporate clients. The four largest customers of Core accounted for approximately 64% of its revenues. The service capabilities of Core have been integrated with our IDCs.

 

In January 2006, we purchased certain web hosting assets which have been integrated into the operations of Managed Services (the “Access Digital Server Assets”).

 

Data Centers

 

We currently operate three IDCs, one in New Jersey and two in New York City. In addition, we maintain an IDC in Chatsworth, California that is dedicated to AccessIT’s delivery of movies and other digital content to motion picture exhibitors worldwide. Our IDCs are leased facilities through which we, for monthly and variable fees, provide our customers with:

Managed Services

 

We have developed two distinct Managed Services offerings, Network and Systems Management and Managed Storage Services.

 

Network and Systems Management

 

We offer our customers the economies of scale of the GNCC with an advanced engineering staff. Our network and systems management services include:

 

 

Managed Storage Services

 

Our managed storage services, known as AccessStorage-on-Demand, include:

 

 

All managed storage services are available separately or may be bundled together with other services. Monthly pricing is based on the type of storage (tape or disk), the capacity used and the level of accessibility required.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below and in any prospectus supplement before deciding to invest in our securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part or your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our company included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Risks relating to our business

 

An inability to obtain necessary financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects if unanticipated capital needs arise.

 

Our capital requirements may vary significantly from what we currently project and be affected by unforeseen delays and expenses. We may experience problems, delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly-situated companies, as well as difficulties as a result of changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions. If we encounter any of these problems or difficulties or have underestimated our operating losses or capital requirements, we may require significantly more financing than we currently anticipate. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any required additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We will be restricted in the type and amount of additional indebtedness that we may incur as a result of our acquisition of AccessIT SW. In connection with the acquisition of AccessIT SW, we issued secured promissory notes to the sellers that will be senior to all indebtedness during the term of those notes other than any debt provided by a bank or institutional lender, which is less than $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount, unsecured or secured by the assets of AccessIT SW and its subsidiaries. Certain of the assets acquired by The Bigger Picture from BP/KTF are subject to liens and the security interests of a third party, Screenvision Exhibition, Inc. An inability to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations and prospects. In connection with the Framework Agreement, we have agreed, through Christie/AIX, to seek to raise financing for purchases of digital cinema projection systems. Although we have entered into a Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), pursuant to which GECC and certain other lenders agreed to provide Christie/AIX a $217 million Senior Secured Multi Draw Term Loan, if we are unable to draw down loans from the Credit Facility or raise additional funds, we may not be able to fulfill our obligations under the Framework Agreement. The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants that restrict Christie/AIX and its subsidiaries from making certain capital expenditures, incurring other indebtedness, engaging in a new line of business, selling certain assets, acquiring, consolidating with, or merging with or into other companies and entering into transactions with affiliates. In October 2006, we issued certain promissory notes which restrict the Company and its subsidiaries (other than USM and Christie/AIX) from incurring other indebtedness, creating or acquiring subsidiaries which do not guarantee such notes, making certain investments and modifying authorized capital.

 

We have limited experience in our newer business operations, which may negatively affect our ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.

 

We were incorporated on March 31, 2000. Our first IDC, a part of our initial business, became operational in December 2000. Subsequent thereto, we added additional IDCs and expanded into the following new business areas which are currently our primary focus: (a) providing satellite delivery services, through our wholly-owned subsidiary AccessIT Satellite; (b) operating a movie theater, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ADM Cinema; (c) placing digital cinema projection systems into movie theaters and collecting virtual print fees in connection with such placements, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Christie/AIX; (d) providing pre-show on-screen advertising and entertainment, through our wholly-owned subsidiary USM and (e) operating an alternate content distribution company, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture. Although we have retained the senior management of the acquired businesses and have hired other experienced personnel, we have little experience in these new areas of business and cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market the services provided thereby. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully operate these businesses. Our efforts to expand into these five new business areas may prove costly and time-consuming and have become our primary business focus, causing us to decide to dispose of our Data Center Services segment.

 

Our lack of operating experience in the digital cinema industry and providing transactional software for movie distributors and exhibitors could result in:

 

 

12

 

---

 

 

We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability through the operation of our digital cinema business or our entertainment software business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in marketing and operating these new businesses or, even if we are successful in doing so, that we will not experience additional losses.

 

We face the risks of an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market and may not be able successfully to address such risks and ever be successful or profitable.

 

We have encountered and will continue to encounter the challenges, uncertainties and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including:

 

 

This is particularly the case with respect to our newly acquired businesses. We cannot assure you that we will ever be successful or profitable.

 

Because the use of DMS’ services largely depends on the expanded use of digital presentations requiring electronic delivery, if such expanded use does not occur, no viable market for DMS’ services may develop.

 

Even though we are among the first to develop software and systems for the delivery of digital content to movie theaters and other venues, the demand for them is largely dependent on a concurrent expansion of digital presentations at theaters, which may not occur for several years. There can be no assurance that major movie studios or providers of alternative digital content that currently rely on traditional distribution networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theaters or other venues. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not occur, there may be no viable market for DMS’ delivery systems and software.

 

If we do not respond to future advances in technology and changes in customer demands, our financial position, prospects and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

The demand for our Digital Media Delivery Services, entertainment software and IDCs will be affected, in large part, by future advances in technology and changes in customer demands. Our success will also depend on our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our existing and prospective customers.

 

We cannot assure you that there will be a demand for the digital cinema software and delivery services provided by DMS. DMS’ profitability depends largely upon the general expansion of digital presentations at theaters, which may not occur for several

 

13

 

---

years. Although Christie/AIX has entered into digital cinema deployment agreements with six motion picture studios, there can be no assurance that these and other major movie studios relying on traditional distribution networks to provide physical delivery of digital files will adopt a different method, particularly electronic delivery, of distributing digital content to movie theaters or that they will release all, some or any of their motion pictures via digital cinema. If the development of digital presentations and changes in the way digital files are delivered does not occur, there may be no viable market for DMS’ software and systems.

 

We expect competition to be intense: if we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

 

The markets for the managed services business, the digital cinema business and the entertainment software business, although relatively new, are competitive, evolving and subject to rapid technological and other changes. We expect the intensity of competition in each of these areas to increase in the future. Companies willing to expend the necessary capital to create facilities and/or software similar to ours may compete with our business. Increased competition may result in reduced revenues and/or margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business. In order to compete effectively in each of these fields, we must differentiate ourselves from competitors.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, which may permit them to adopt aggressive pricing policies. As a result, we may suffer from pricing pressures that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and our results of operations. Many of our competitors also have significantly greater name and brand recognition and a larger customer base than us. We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business and results of operations will be seriously harmed.

 

Our plan to acquire additional businesses involves risks, including our inability successfully to complete an acquisition, our assumption of liabilities, dilution of your investment and significant costs.

 

Although there are no acquisitions identified by us as probable at this time, we may make further acquisitions of similar or complementary businesses or assets. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition candidates, we may be unable to negotiate successfully the terms of the acquisitions, finance them, integrate the acquired business into our then existing business and/or attract and retain customers. Completing an acquisition and integrating an acquired business, including our recently acquired businesses, may require a significant diversion of management time and resources and involves assuming new liabilities. Any acquisition also involves the risks that the assets acquired may prove less valuable than expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. If we make one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration consists of our capital stock, your equity interest in our company could be diluted, perhaps significantly. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash, or obtain additional financing to consummate them.

 

Our recent acquisitions involve risks, including our inability to integrate successfully the new businesses and our assumption of certain liabilities.

 

We have made several meaningful acquisitions to expand into new business areas. However, we may experience costs and hardships in integrating the new acquisitions into our current business structure. In November 2004, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of FiberSat Global Services, LLC which have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT Satellite. In February 2005, we acquired the Pavilion Theatre through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM Cinema. In June 2005, we created Christie/AIX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccessDM, to purchase Systems for Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, under the Framework Agreement with Christie. In January 2006, we purchased certain web hosting assets which have been integrated into the operations of Managed Services. In June 2006, the Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, PLX Acquisition, purchased substantially all the assets of PLX which have been integrated into the operations of AccessIT SW and in July 2006, we acquired all of the capital stock of USM. Most recently, in January 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bigger Picture, purchased substantially all of the assets of BP/KTF, which we intend to integrate into the Company’s operations. We may not be able to integrate successfully the acquired businesses and assets into our existing business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively market the services provided by AccessIT Satellite, the Pavilion Theatre, Christie/AIX, USM and The Bigger Picture. Further, these new businesses and assets may involve a significant diversion of our management time and resources and be costly. Our acquisition of these businesses and assets also involves the risks that the businesses and assets acquired may prove to be less valuable than we expected and/or that we may assume unknown or unexpected liabilities, costs and problems. In addition, we assumed certain liabilities in connection with these acquisitions and we cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy adequately such assumed liabilities. Other companies that offer similar products and services may be able to market and sell their products and services more cost-effectively than we can.

If we do not manage our growth, our business will be harmed.

 

We may not be successful in managing our rapid growth. Since November 2004, we have acquired the businesses discussed above and in connection with those acquisitions, we have formed additional subsidiaries. These subsidiaries operate in business areas different from our IDC operations business. The number of our employees has grown from 11 in March 2003 to over 330 in December 2006. Past growth has placed, and future growth will continue to place, significant challenges on our management and resources, related to the successful integration of the newly acquired businesses. To manage the expected growth of our operations, we will need to improve our existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. We may also need to expand our finance, administrative, client services and operations staffs and train and manage our growing employee base effectively. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations. Our business, results of operations and financial position will suffer if we do not effectively manage our growth.

 

If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property, our business will suffer.

 

We depend heavily on technology to operate our business. Our success depends on protecting our intellectual property, which is one of our most important assets. Although we do not currently hold any copyrights, patents or registered trademarks, we do have intellectual property consisting of:

 

 

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business, financial position and results of operations would be harmed. Our means of protecting our intellectual property may not be adequate. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our intellectual property or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, competitors may be able to devise methods of competing with our business that are not covered by our intellectual property. Our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our technology or design around any intellectual property that we may obtain.

 

The success of some of our business operations depends on the proprietary nature of certain software. We do not, however, have any patents with respect to such software. Because there is no patent protection in respect of our software, other companies are not prevented from developing and marketing similar software. We cannot assure you, therefore, that we will not face more competitors or that we can compete effectively against any companies that develop similar software. We also cannot assure you that we can compete effectively or not suffer from pricing pressure with respect to our existing and developing products that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

 

Although we hold rights to various web domain names, regulatory bodies in the United States and abroad could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. The relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our proprietary rights.

 

We may have difficulty collecting payments from some of our customers and incur costs as a result.

 

A number of our IDC customers are early stage companies. In addition, some of our IDC customers are telecommunications companies, and many telecommunications companies have been experiencing significant financial difficulties. There is a risk that these companies will experience difficulty paying amounts owed to us, and we might not be able to collect on a timely basis all monies owed to us by some of them. Although we intend to remove customers that do not pay us in a timely manner, we may experience difficulties and costs in collecting from or removing these customers.

 

15

 

---

We may continue to have customer concentration in our business, and the loss of one or more of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We expect that we will rely, at least in the near future, upon a limited number of customers for a substantial percentage of our revenues and may continue to have customer concentration company-wide. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Pavilion Theatre’s customers (the general public) and DMS comprised of 74% and 24% of the Media Service revenues, respectively. Three customers, Globecomm Network Services Corporation, LATV, LLC. and McKibben Consulting, each represented 10% or more of DMS’ revenues and together generated 58% of DMS revenues. These three customer contracts are due to expire in fiscal year 2007 and only Globecomm’s contract was renewed. The LATV contract was not renewed, however, we are currently bidding for new business with them. Twentieth Century Fox, the Weinstein Company, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios comprised approximately 33.4%, 11.5%, 8.0% and 5.2%, respectively, of AccessIT SW’s revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, two customers, Twentieth Century Fox and the Weinstein Company, each represented 10% or more of Entertainment Software Service revenues and together generated 45% of AccessIT SW’s revenues.

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, two customers each represented 10% or more of Data Center Service revenues, KMC and AT&T, which together generated 44% of our Data Center Service revenues. KMC did not renew its contracts, which expired on December 31, 2005, and AT&T did not renew its contracts, which expired on July 31, 2006.

 

Our substantial debt and lease obligations could impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

 

We now have, and will continue to have, significant debt obligations. We have notes payable to third parties with principal amounts aggregating $136.9 million as of December 31, 2006. We also have capital lease obligations covering facilities and equipment with principal amounts aggregating $6.0 million as of December 31, 2006.

 

Additionally, Christie/AIX, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has recently entered into the Credit Facility, which permits us to borrow up to $217 million of which $106.9 million has been drawn down as of December 31, 2006. The obligations and restrictions under the Credit Facility and our other debt obligations could have important consequences for us, including:

 

 

If we are unable to meet our lease and debt obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, to seek additional equity financing or to sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. As a result, we could default on those obligations and in the event of such default, our lenders could accelerate our debt or take other actions that could restrict our operations.

 

The foregoing risks would be intensified to the extent we borrow additional money or incur additional debt.

 

The agreements governing our Credit Facility and our issuance of notes in October 2006 imposes certain limitations on us.

 

The agreement governing our Credit Facility restricts the ability of Christie/AIX and its existing and future subsidiaries to:

The agreements governing our issuance of notes in October 2006 restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from:

 

 

We may not be able to generate the amount of cash needed to fund our future operations.

 

Our ability either to make payments on or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash is in part subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

 

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available cash financed through the issuance of securities and our Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least one year from the date of this prospectus. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as:

 

 

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that we will be able to make future borrowings in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay the principal and interest on our current indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception.

 

We have incurred losses since our inception in March 2000 and have financed our operations principally through equity investments and borrowings. As of December 31, 2006, we had working capital of $35.3 million and cash, cash equivalents and investments of $55.4 million; we had an accumulated deficit of $53.3 million; and, from inception through such date, we had used $53.0 million in cash for operating activities. Our net losses are likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

Our ability to become profitable is dependent upon us achieving a sufficient volume of business from our customers. If we cannot achieve a high enough volume, we likely will incur additional net and operating losses. We may be unable to continue our business as presently conducted unless we obtain funds from additional financings.

 

Our net losses and cash outflows may increase as and to the extent that we increase the size of our business operations, increase the purchases of Systems for Christie/AIX’s Digital Cinema Roll-Out, increase our sales and marketing activities, enlarge our

 

17

 

---

customer support and professional services and acquire additional businesses. These efforts may prove to be more expensive than we currently anticipate which could further increase our losses. We must significantly increase our revenues in order to become profitable. We cannot reliably predict when, or if, we will become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. If we cannot generate operating income or positive cash flows in the future, we will be unable to meet our working capital requirements.

 

Many of our corporate actions may be controlled by our officers, directors and principal stockholders; these actions may benefit these principal stockholders more than our other stockholders.

 

As of April 24, 2007, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, approximately 20.2% of our outstanding common stock. In particular, A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive Officer beneficially holds all 763,811 shares of Class B common stock, and 133,127 shares of Class A common stock which collectively represent approximately 5.2% of our outstanding common stock, and includes 100,000 shares of Class A common stock held by Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which Mr. Mayo disclaims beneficial ownership, and 12,000 shares of Class A common stock held for the account of Mr. Mayo’s grandchildren, the custodian of which accounts is Mr. Mayo’s spouse, of which Mr. Mayo also disclaims beneficial ownership. Our Class B common stock entitles the holder to ten votes per share. The shares of Class A common stock have one vote per share. Due to the supervoting Class B common stock, Mr. Mayo has approximately 24.6% of our voting power. These stockholders, and Mr. Mayo himself, will have significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control matters requiring approval by our security holders, including elections of directors and approvals of mergers or other business combinations. Also, certain corporate actions directed by our officers may not necessarily inure to the proportional benefit of other stockholders of our company; under his employment agreement, for example, Mr. Mayo is entitled to receive a guaranteed annual cash bonus.

 

Our success will significantly depend on our ability to hire and retain key personnel.

 

Our success will depend in significant part upon the continued services of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel. If we lose one or more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement(s) and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In particular, our performance depends significantly upon the continued service of A. Dale Mayo, our President and Chief Executive Officer, whose experience and relationships in the movie theater industry are integral to our business, particularly in the business areas of AccessIT SW, DMS and Christie/AIX. Although we have obtained two $5.0 million key-man life insurance policies in respect of Mr. Mayo, the loss of his services would have a material and adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects. Each policy carries a death benefit of $5.0 million, and while we are the beneficiary of each policy, under one of the policies the proceeds are to be used to repurchase, after reimbursement of all premiums paid by us, shares of our capital stock held by Mr. Mayo’s estate at the then-determined fair market value. We also rely on the experience and expertise of certain officers of our subsidiaries. In addition, our future success will depend upon our ability to hire, train, integrate and retain qualified new employees.

 

We may be subject to environmental risks relating to the on-site storage of diesel fuel and batteries.

 

Our IDCs contain tanks for the storage of diesel fuel for our generators and significant quantities of lead acid batteries used to provide back-up power generation for uninterrupted operation of our customers’ equipment. We cannot assure you that our systems will be free from leaks or that use of our systems will not result in spills. Any leak or spill, depending on such factors as the nature and quantity of the materials involved and the environmental setting, could result in interruptions to our operations and the incurrence of significant costs; particularly to the extent we incur liability under applicable environmental laws. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

We may not be successful in the disposal of our Data Center Services.

 

In connection with the disposal of our Data Center Services we may pursue the disposition of the related assets and liabilities. Among such items are certain operating leases which expire between June 2009 through January 2016. As of December 31, 2006, obligations under these operating leases totaled $11.2 million. We cannot assure you that the existing landlords would consent to the assignment of these leases to a buyer of our data centers. As a result, we may have continuing obligations under these leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

Service and other interruptions could potentially reduce our revenues and harm our reputation and financial results.

 

For as long as we operate our Data Centers, our Data Centers and our customers’ equipment, located within our Data Centers, are vulnerable to damage from human error, physical or electronic security breaches, power loss, other facility failures, fire, earthquake, water damage, sabotage, vandalism and similar events. In addition, our customers would be adversely affected by the failure of carriers to provide network access to our facilities as a result of any of these events. Any of these events or other unanticipated problems could interrupt our customers’ ability to provide services from our Data Centers. This could damage our reputation, make it difficult to attract new, and retain existing, customers and cause our customers to terminate their contracts

with us and to seek damages. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and prospects.

 

We depend on relationships with third parties, which, if not maintained, may adversely affect our ability to provide services to our customers.

 

We are not a communications carrier and, therefore, for as long as we operate our Data Centers, we rely substantially on third parties to provide our customers with access to voice, data and Internet networks. We must maintain relationships with third-party network providers in order to offer our IDC customers access to a choice of networks. Many carriers have their own data center facilities and may be reluctant to provide network services at our IDCs. As a result, some carriers may choose not to connect their services to our IDCs.

 

For as long as we operate our Data Centers, the availability of an adequate supply of electrical power and the infrastructure to deliver that power is critical to our ability to attract and retain customers and achieve profitability. We rely on third parties to provide electrical power to our IDCs and cannot be certain that these parties will provide adequate electrical power or that we will have the necessary infrastructure to deliver such power to our customers. If the electrical power delivered to our IDCs is inadequate to support our customers’ requirements or if delivery is not timely, our results of operations and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Risks relating to the offering

The liquidity of the Common Stock is uncertain; the limited trading volume of the Common Stock may depress the price of such stock or cause it to fluctuate significantly.

 

Although shares of the Common Stock are listed on NASDAQ, there has been a limited public market for the Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Common Stock will develop. As a result, you may not be able to sell your shares of Common Stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. The absence of an active trading market may cause the price per share of the Common Stock to fluctuate significantly.

 

Substantial resales or future issuances of the Common Stock could depress our stock price.

 

The market price for the Common Stock could decline, perhaps significantly, as a result of resales or issuances of a large number of shares of the Common Stock in the public market or even the perception that such resales or issuances could occur, including resales of the shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, we have outstanding a substantial number of options, warrants and other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock that may be exercised in the future. Certain holders of these warrants and other securities, as well as holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, have piggy-back registration rights and the holders of shares of Common Stock issuable in exchange for its shares of certain warrants have demand and piggy-back registration rights. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our equity securities.

 

You will incur substantial dilution as a result of certain future equity issuances.

 

We have a substantial number of options, warrants and other securities currently outstanding which may be immediately converted into shares of Common Stock. To the extent that these options, warrants or similar securities are exercised or converted, or to the extent we issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future, as the case may be, there will be further dilution to holders of shares of the Common Stock.

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as well as of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The terms of our preferred stock may be fixed by the company’s board of directors without further stockholder action. The terms of any outstanding series or class of preferred stock may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights, which could adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. Any future issuance(s) of preferred stock could make the takeover of the company more difficult, discourage unsolicited bids for control of the company in which our stockholders could receive premiums for their shares, dilute or subordinate the rights of holders of Common Stock and adversely affect the trading price of the Common Stock.

 

Under Section 203 of the DGCL, Delaware corporations whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, like NASDAQ, may not engage in business combinations such as mergers or acquisitions with any interested stockholders, defined as

 

19

 

---

an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding common stock without obtaining certain prior approvals. As a result of the application of Section 203, potential acquirers of the company may be discouraged from attempting to effect an acquisition transaction with the company, thereby depriving holders of the company’s securities of opportunities to sell or otherwise dispose of the securities at prices above prevailing market prices.

 

We may not be able to maintain listing on NASDAQ, which may adversely affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to resell their securities in the secondary market.

 

The Common Stock is presently listed on NASDAQ. However, we cannot assure you that the company will meet the criteria for continued listing on NASDAQ. If the company were unable to meet the continued listing criteria of NASDAQ and the Common Stock became delisted, trading of the Common Stock could thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the so-called “pink sheets” or, if available, on the NASD’s Electronic Bulletin Board. In such case, an investor would likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate market quotations for, the company’s securities.

 

If the shares of Common Stock were to be delisted from NASDAQ, they may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” Application of this Rule could adversely affect the ability and/or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the company’s securities and may adversely affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to resell their securities in the secondary market.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will receive no proceeds from the sale of any of or all of the shares being offered by the selling security holders under this prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth as of April 24, 2007, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as to each selling stockholder.

corporation. The equity interests of Pacific are owned by Messrs. Roger Richter, Jonathan M. Glaser and Daniel A. David. Messrs. Glaser and Richter have sole investment discretion over the Fund’s portfolio holdings.

 

Except as disclosed above, no selling stockholder has held a position as a director or officer nor has had a material relationship with us or any of our affiliates, or our or their predecessors, within the past three years.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder of the Common Stock and any of their pledgees, assignees, donees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

 

 

22

 

---

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

 

We have agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST LIABILITY UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

 

We are permitted to indemnify to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, each director, officer or other authorized representative of the Company who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was an authorized representative of the Company, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

 

A director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent that such elimination or liability is expressly prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law as in effect at the time of the alleged breach of duty by such director.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to any arrangement, provision or otherwise, we have 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 us of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We are permitted to indemnify to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, each director, officer or other authorized representative of the Company who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was an authorized representative of the Company, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

 

A director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent that such elimination or limitation of liability is expressly prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) as in effect at the time of the alleged breach of duty by such director.

 

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the registrant provide that the registrant shall indemnify its officers, directors and certain others to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL, provides in pertinent part as follows:

 

(a)            A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)            A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(c)            To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

---

 

(d)            Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. Such determination shall be made with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination (1) by a majority vote of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (4) by the stockholders.

 

(e)            Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

 

(f)            The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

(g)            A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person, who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Section.

 

(h)            For purposes of this Section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

(i)            For purposes of this Section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section.

 

(j)            The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the registrant’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of each of the registrant’s directors to the registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of his or her fiduciary duties as a director except that the fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent that such elimination or limitation of liability is expressly prohibited by the DGCL as in effect at the time of the alleged breach of duty by such director.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

Undertakings Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(a).

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

 

 

 

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

 

 

Undertakings Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(b).

 

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 Section 15(d) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 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.

 

Undertaking Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(e).

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any arrangement, provision 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.

 

Undertakings Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(g).

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(1)           Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(2)           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
