(1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock that become issuable under the plans by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of Registrant’s Common Stock.

 

(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act. The price per share and aggregate offering price are based upon the weighted average exercise price for outstanding options granted pursuant to the respective plan.

Item 4. Description of Securities

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

Aimee S. Weisner, who is issuing the opinion of AMO’s Legal Department on the legality of AMO’s Common Stock offered hereby, is the Corporate Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of AMO.

 

AMO has agreed to indemnify and hold KPMG LLP harmless against and from any and all legal costs and expenses incurred by KPMG LLP in successful defense of any legal action or proceeding that arises as a result of KPMG LLP’s consent to the incorporation by reference of its audit report on AMO’s past financial statements incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) empowers AMO to indemnify, subject to the standards set

 


forth therein, any person who is a party in any action in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of such company, or is or was serving as such with respect to another entity at the request of such company. The DGCL also provides that AMO may purchase insurance on behalf of any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents.

 

Article Eight of AMO’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of the officers and directors of AMO to the full extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

AMO has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, executive officers and certain other officers. Generally, the indemnification agreements provide that AMO will indemnify and hold harmless such persons against any and all “Payments,” except to the extent AMO shall have indemnified and held harmless such persons otherwise than pursuant to the indemnification agreement, such person shall have received payment on account of such Payments pursuant to one or more valid and collectible insurance policies or such indemnification by AMO is prohibited by applicable law. “Payment” is defined as any and all amounts which the indemnitee is or becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with a “Covered Claim,” including, without limitation, damages, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation, attorneys’ fees, costs of investigative, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals, and costs of attachment or similar bonds. “Covered Claim” is defined as any claim against the indemnitee based upon or arising out of any past, present or future act, omission, neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error, misstatement or misleading statement, which indemnitee may commit, omit or suffer while acting in his or her capacity as a director or officer of AMO and solely because of being a director or officer of AMO, as the case may be; provided, however, that a “Covered Claim” does not include any amounts paid or payable by the indemnitee with respect to any claim that is based upon and arises out of (i) the indemnitee gaining in fact any personal profit or advantage to which the indemnitee is not legally entitled, (ii) for an accounting of profits in fact made from the purchase or sale by the indemnitee of securities of AMO within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any state law, or (iii) the indemnitee’s knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. “Covered Claim” includes any claim made against the lawful spouse of the indemnitee for claims arising solely out of the indemnitee’s capacity as the spouse of the indemnitee.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no provision can eliminate or limit a director’s liability:

 

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

 

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

 

    under Section 174 of the DGCL, which imposes liability on directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or

 

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

 

Article Eight of AMO’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of AMO to AMO or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full extent permitted by the DGCL.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(A) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(i) and (A)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

 

(B) 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(C) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 


(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of AMO’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference 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 hereof.

 

(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions hereof, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in 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.
