Item 4. | Description of Securities. |
Not applicable.
Item 5. | Interest of Named Experts and Counsel. |
Not applicable.
Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The Registrants Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the Delaware Law), its directors shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as directors of the Registrant. The Registrants Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware Law. Under Delaware law, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant which is not eliminated by this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non monetary relief will remain available. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under Delaware law for breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the company, for acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by Delaware law. This provision also does not affect the directors responsibilities under any other laws, such as the Federal securities laws or state or Federal environmental laws. The Registrant has obtained liability insurance for its officers and directors. Section 145 of the Delaware Law empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) arising under Section 174 of the Delaware Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Delaware Law provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporations bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. The Registrants Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall fully 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) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

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 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 not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in 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 the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
4
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 thereof.
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, 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.

Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-8 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Globecomm Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares (the 2006 Shares) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Common Stock), of the Company, subject to the Companys Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (as the same may be further amended from time to time, the Plan).
In connection with the registration of the 2006 Shares, we have reviewed copies of the Registration Statement, the Plan, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company (collectively, the Transaction Documents).
We have also reviewed such other documents and made such other investigations as we have deemed appropriate. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents and upon the statements, representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Company, public officials and others. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the 2006 Shares have been duly authorized and, upon the issuance thereof and payment therefor in accordance with the terms stated in the Plan or in the award agreements entered into pursuant thereto, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the Relevant Laws).
The opinion expressed herein is based upon the Relevant Laws and interpretations thereof in effect on the date hereof, and the facts and circumstances in existence on the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
/s/ Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP |
