Item 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Delaware Corporations
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., Alpha Appalachia Holdings, Inc., Alpha Coal West, Inc., Alpha Midwest Holding Company, Barbara Holdings Inc., Castle Gate Holding Company, Delta Mine Holding Company, DRIH Corporation, Dry Systems Technologies, Inc., Foundation Royalty Company, Laurel Creek Co, Inc., Maple Meadow Mining Company, Pennsylvania Services Corporation, Plateau Mining Corporation, River Processing Corporation, Riverton Coal Production Inc., Rockspring Development, Inc., SC Coal Corporation, Wabash Mine Holding Company, and Warrick Holding Company (the “Delaware Corporation Registrants”) are incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation in effect as of the date of this registration statement of each of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. and Riverton Coal Production Inc., includes a provision eliminating the personal liability of the corporation’s directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (certain illegal distributions) or (iv) for transactions from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
Pursuant to Section 145(a) of the DGCL, Delaware corporations may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable pursuant to Section 145(b) of the DGCL in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
II-1
Additionally, the corporation must indemnify current or former officers or directors of the corporation if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 145(a) or (b) of the DGCL.
Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and/or the bylaws in effect as of the date of this registration statement of each Delaware Corporation Registrant other than DRIH Corporation and Plateau Mining Corporation, the corporation must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Additionally, the certificate of incorporation and/or the bylaws in effect as of the date of this registration statement of each of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., Alpha Appalachia Holdings, Inc., Maple Meadow Mining Company and Riverton Coal Production Inc., provides that the corporation must advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. The bylaws of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. provide a right to indemnification not only to its own directors and officers, but also to persons who serve as directors, officers or trustees of other entities at the request of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
The bylaws of Plateau Mining Corporation in effect as of the date of this registration statement require the corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against costs and expenses reasonably incurred by, or imposed upon them in connection with, or arising out of, any action, suit or proceeding in which they may be involved or to which they may be made a party by reason of their being or having been a director or officer of the corporation, such expenses to include the cost of reasonable settlements (other than amounts paid to the corporation) made with a view to curtailment of costs of litigation, except that that the corporation shall not indemnify its directors or officers for liability to the corporation or its stockholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty, or with respect to matters in which they are finally adjudged to have been derelict in the performance of their duties.
The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of DRIH Corporation do not provide for indemnification of its directors or officers; however, the bylaws of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. require Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. to indemnify persons serving as officers or directors of other entities at the request of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., to the same extent as Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. indemnifies persons serving as officers or directors of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
The indemnification provided by Sections 145(a) and (b) of the DGCL is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and the certificate of incorporation and/or the bylaws in effect as of the date of this registration statement of each of the Delaware Corporation Registrants other than DRIH Corporation, Laurel Creek Co., Inc. and Rockspring Development, Inc., provides that the indemnification provisions in those governing documents are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements generally provide for Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. to indemnify its directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with threatened, pending or completed proceedings in which the person was involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer or director of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or trustee of another entity, subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein. In addition, we maintain insurance on behalf of the directors and officers of the Delaware Corporation Registrants insuring them against claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.

Under Section 607.0830 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the FBCA, a director of a Florida corporation is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, if he or she performed the duties of his or her office in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
II-4
corporation. In addition, Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy unless the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and the director’s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (ii) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly, (iii) a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834 (regarding unlawful distributions) are applicable, (iv) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation, or willful misconduct, or (v) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Under Section 607.0850(1) of the FBCA, a corporation has power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against liability incurred in connection with the proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable pursuant to 607.0850(2) of the FBCA in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Additionally, the corporation must indemnify any director or officer of the corporation if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 607.0850(1) or (2) of the FBCA.
Under Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, the indemnification provided pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the FBCA is not exclusive of any other or further indemnification of any of its directors or officers under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
The bylaws of Raven Resources, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement provide that the corporation must indemnify its directors, officers, employee or agents, or those serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the corporation, including in criminal proceedings, so long as the persons have acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to criminal proceedings, those persons had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Raven Resources, Inc. may not indemnify against a person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and may not indemnify a person who a court has found liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. Raven Resources, Inc. may also not indemnify any such person unless ordered by a court or one of the following determines that indemnification is proper because the person met the applicable standard of conduct: (i) the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (ii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum is not obtainable or a quorum of disinterested directors so directs; or (iii) by the shareholders. The corporation must also advance expenses incurred by such person prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of a legally valid promise or pledge to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer was not entitled to indemnification.
We maintain insurance on behalf of the directors and officers of Raven Resources, Inc. insuring them against claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.

Peter Cave Mining Company, Pilgrim Mining Company, Inc., Road Fork Development Company, Inc., Sidney Coal Company, Inc., Stone Mining Company, T. C. H. Coal Co., Vantage Mining Company and West Kentucky Energy Company (the “Kentucky Corporation Registrants”) are incorporated under the laws of the commonwealth of Kentucky.

In addition, Sections 271B.8-300 and 271B.8-420 of the KBCA provide that any action taken as a director or officer, or any failure to take any action as a director or officer, shall not be the basis for monetary damages or injunctive relief unless the director or officer has failed to discharge his or her duties in good faith, on an informed basis, and in a manner the director or officer honestly believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of an action for monetary damages, the failure to discharge those duties constitutes willful misconduct or wanton or reckless disregard for the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.
Section 271B.8-510 of the KBCA permits a corporation to indemnify an individual who is made a party to a proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) because the individual is or was a director against the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine or reasonable expenses (including counsel fees) incurred with respect to the proceeding, as long as the individual (i) conducted himself or herself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or, in all other cases, was at least not opposed to its best interests, and (iii) in a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, except that indemnification only extends to reasonable expenses. No indemnification is permitted in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director is adjudged liable to the corporation, or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, where the director is adjudged liable on the basis of having received an improper personal benefit.

The articles of incorporation of each of Road Fork Development Company, Inc. and Sidney Coal Company, Inc. provide for indemnification under these circumstances of directors and officers of the corporation or individuals serving at the request of the corporation as directors or officers of another entity, and further provide that the termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment or settlement shall not of itself be determinative that the person did not act in good faith and in accordance with the requisite standard of conduct. The articles of incorporation of T.C.H. Coal Co. provide that the corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or an individual serving at the request of the corporation as a director officer, employee or agent of another corporation, and further provide that the termination of an 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 accordance with the applicable standard of conduct.
In addition, Section 271B.8-520 of the KBCA provides that, unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding any director who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which the individual was a party because he or she is or was a director of the corporation.
The articles of incorporation of Greyeagle Coal Company, Kingston Resources, Inc., Lauren Land Company, Long Fork Coal Company, Martin County Coal Corporation, New Ridge Mining Company, Peter Cave Mining Company, Pilgrim Mining Company, Inc., Stone Mining Company provide for indemnification of expenses actually
II-6
and reasonably incurred in connection with an applicable action, suit, proceeding, claim, issue or matter if the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such action, suit, proceeding, claim, issue or matter. The articles of incorporation for these corporations also provide for indemnification of expenses if the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that the corporation may not indemnify a person who a court has found liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for certain expenses. For these entities, the corporation may not indemnify any director or officer unless ordered by a court or either of the following determines that indemnification of the director or officer is proper because the person met the applicable standard of conduct: (i) the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action; or (ii) by the shareholders. In addition, each of the corporations discussed in this paragraph may also advance expenses incurred by a director or officer prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer employee or agent to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer was not entitled to indemnification.
The articles of incorporation of Road Fork Development Company, Inc. and Sidney Coal Company, Inc. provide for indemnification of expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with an applicable action, suit or proceeding if the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such action, suit or proceeding. The articles of incorporation for these corporations also provide for indemnification of expenses if the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to criminal proceedings, those persons had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The articles of incorporation of each of Road Fork Development Company, Inc. and Sidney Coal Company, Inc. provide that the corporation may not indemnify any person in an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation as to which a court has found the person liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. The articles of incorporation of each of Road Fork Development Company, Inc. and Sidney Coal Company, Inc. further provide that the corporation may not indemnify any person in any proceeding charging improper person benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which a court has found such person liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. For these entities, the corporation may not indemnify any director or officer unless ordered by a court or any of the following determines that indemnification of the director or officer is proper because the person met the applicable standard of conduct: (i) the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (ii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum is not obtainable or a quorum of disinterested directors so directs; or (iii) by the shareholders. If such a determination is made by the directors, they may rely as to questions of law on the advice of independent counsel. In addition, both of the corporations discussed in this paragraph may also advance expenses incurred by a director or officer prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of (i) an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director or officer was not entitled to indemnification and (ii) a written affirmation by the person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Corporation. Furthermore, the articles of incorporation of both of these corporations provide that the board of directors may indemnify or contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in the articles of incorporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another entity. For both of these corporations, any indemnification or advance of expenses to a director arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation must be reported in writing to shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders’ meeting.
The articles of incorporation of T.C.H. Coal Co. provide for indemnification of expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with an applicable action, suit or proceeding if the director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issuer or matter therein. The articles of incorporation for T.C.H. Coal Co. also provide for indemnification of expenses if the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to criminal proceedings, those persons had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. T.C.H. Coal Co. may not indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent unless ordered by a court or any of the following determines that indemnification is proper
II-7
because the person to be indemnified met the applicable standard of conduct: (i) the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (ii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum is not obtainable or a quorum of disinterested directors so directs; or (iii) by the shareholders. Directors, officers, employees or agents may be entitled to indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and in another capacity while holding such office.
Although Sections 271B.8-510 and 271B.8-520 of the KBCA are specific to directors, Section 271B.8-560 also permits a Kentucky corporation to indemnify its officers to the same extent as a director and gives an officer who is not a director the same statutory right to mandatory indemnification and to apply for court-ordered indemnification as afforded a director.
Pursuant to the articles of incorporation of Kingston Resources, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement, the corporation must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the KBCA, and must also pay or reimburse expenses incurred by its directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of any legal proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by the KBCA.
The indemnification provided by the KBCA is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may otherwise be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The articles of incorporation of Greyeagle Coal Company, Kingston Resources, Inc., Lauren Land Company, Long Fork Coal Company, Martin County Coal Corporation, New Ridge Mining Company, Peter Cave Mining Company, Pilgrim Mining Company, Inc. and Stone Mining Company in effect as of the date of this registration statement provide that the indemnification provisions therein are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, action of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Hopkins Creek Coal Company, Joboner Coal Company, Vantage Mining Company and West Kentucky Energy Company do not provide for indemnification of their directors or officers; however, the bylaws of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. require Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. to indemnify persons serving as officers or directors of other entities at the request of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., to the same extent as Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. indemnifies persons serving as officers or directors of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.

Kentucky Limited Liability Company
Hanna Land Company, LLC is an LLC organized under the laws of the state of Kentucky.
Section 275.180 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes provides that a written operating agreement of a Kentucky limited liability corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a member or manager for monetary damages for breach of any duty provided for in Section 275.170 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes and provide for indemnification of a member or manager for judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, or expenses incurred in a proceeding to which a person is a party because the person is or was a member or manager of the company.

This indemnification duty applies if the acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions on which the action, proceeding or claim is based were for a purpose reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the LLC and were not performed or omitted fraudulently or in bad faith or as a result of gross negligence by such person, and were not in violation of the person’s fiduciary obligation to the LLC.

Louisiana Corporation
Alpha Gas and Oil Company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Louisiana.
II-8
In general, Sec.12.83 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, or the LBCL, allows corporations to indemnify their present and former directors and officers and those of affiliated corporations against expenses incurred in the defense of any lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers if such person acted in good faith and in a manner 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. Under the LBCL, a termination of the action by judgment, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere, will not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith. To the extent that such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation. Expenses may be paid in advance of the final outcome if authorized by the board of directors without regard to whether or not a voting director is a party to the action.
If the action is by or in the right of the corporation, the indemnity is limited to expenses not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the action to conclusion. No indemnification can be made if a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of appeals, finds the director liable for willful or intentional misconduct, unless the court determines that, given the circumstances of the case, the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for certain expenses.
The LBCL allows a corporation to procure or maintain insurance against liability on behalf of a director or any such person.
The articles of incorporation of Alpha Gas and Oil Company in effect as of the date of this registration statement require the corporation to indemnify its directors generally to the fullest extent authorized by the LBCL. The corporation may indemnify each of its directors against any expenses or costs, including attorneys’ fees, actually or reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative against such person or to which he is involved solely as a witness or person required to give evidence. These provisions are subject to any limitations determined by the board of directors, provided that no change may adversely affect any claim to indemnification that arises prior to such a change.

Pennsylvania Corporation
Central Penn Energy Company, Inc., Rostraver Energy Company, Scarlet Development Company and Trace Creek Coal Company (the “Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants”) are incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania.
Pursuant to Sections 1741-1743 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, or the PABCL, 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 or she 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 such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in performance of his duty to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court of common pleas 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 circumstances of the case, such person in fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper. A Pennsylvania corporation is required to indemnify a director or officer against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent that the director or
II-9
officer is successful in defending a lawsuit brought against him or her by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the corporation.

The certificate of incorporation and/or the bylaws further provide that the termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment or settlement shall not of itself be determinative that the person did not act in good faith and in accordance with the requisite standard of conduct. None of the Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants may indemnify a person finally adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.
The bylaws of the Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants in effect as of the date of this registration statement provide that any indemnification pursuant to Sections 1741-1743 of the PABCL (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case or upon a determination that indemnification of any such person is proper in the circumstances as set forth under the PABCL. Such determination shall be made (i) by the corporation's Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if such a quorum is not obtainable or a quorum of disinterested directors so directs; or (iii) by the shareholders. If such a determination is made by the directors, they may rely as to questions of law on the advice of independent counsel.
The bylaws of the Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants in effect as of the date of this registration statement provide that the payment of expenses pursuant to Sections 1741-1743 of the PABCL (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, may be paid, but shall not be required to be paid, by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided under Sections 1741-1743 of the PABCL, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount.
Section 1746 of the PABCL provides that the other applicable provisions of the PABCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. The certificate of incorporation and/or the bylaws in effect as of the date of this registration statement of each of the Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants provides that the indemnification provisions in those governing documents are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled, including any right under policies of insurance that may be purchased and maintained by each Pennsylvania Corporation Registrant or others.
We maintain insurance on behalf of the directors and officers of the Pennsylvania Corporation Registrants insuring them against claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.
Tennessee Corporations
Tennessee Consolidated Coal Company and Tennessee Energy Corp. are incorporated under the laws of the state of Tennessee.
In general, Sec.48-18-501 et seq. of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, or the TBCA, permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or reasonable expenses (which includes counsel fees) incurred with respect to a proceeding to which they may be made a party if such individual (i) conducted himself or herself in good faith and (ii) reasonably believed (a) while acting in his or her official capacity, that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or (b) while acting any other capacity, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or (iii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A termination of the proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon the entry of a plea of nolo contendere is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in Sec.48-18-502(a) of the TBCA. Unless limited by its charter, a corporation must indemnify a director’s reasonable expenses if the director is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding against him or her as director.
II-10
The TBCA prohibits a corporation from indemnifying a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was found liable to the corporation or where the director, whether or not acting in his or her official capacity as a director of the corporation, is charged with, and found liable for, improperly receiving a personal benefit.
Under the TBCA, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent to the same extent as a director. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by such individual while acting in his or her official capacity or arising from his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such individual for any such liability.
The articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Tennessee Consolidated Coal Company and Tennessee Energy Corp. do not provide for indemnification of their directors or officers.
We maintain insurance on behalf of the directors and officers of Tennessee Consolidated Coal Company and Tennessee Energy Corp. insuring them against claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.
Texas Corporation
Majestic Mining, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas.
Chapter 8 of the Texas Business Organizations Code, or the TBOC, requires a Texas corporation to indemnify a director, former director or delegate thereof against reasonable expenses actually incurred by such person in connection with a proceeding in which such person is a respondent because such person is or was a director or delegate thereof if such person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. Further, Chapter 8 of the TBOC permits a Texas corporation to indemnify a director, former director or delegate thereof who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding against judgments and expenses that are reasonable and actually incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding if it is determined that: (i) such person (a) acted in good faith, (b) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in such person’s official capacity, that such person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interest and, in any other case, that such person’s conduct was not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful and (ii) with respect to expenses, the amount of such expenses is reasonable.
Under Chapter 8 of the TBOC, indemnification of a person that is found liable to a Texas corporation or found liable because such person improperly received a personal benefit (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred, (ii) does not include a judgment, a penalty, a fine, or an excise or similar tax and (iii) may not be made if such person has been found liable for (a) willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of any duties to the corporation, (b) breach of any duty of loyalty owed to the corporation or (c) an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of any duty owed by such person to the corporation.
Chapter 8 of the TBOC permits a Texas corporation to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a present director or delegate thereof who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding without making the required determinations after the corporation receives (i) a written affirmation by such person of such person’s good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if the final determination is that the person has not met that standard or that indemnification is prohibited by Chapter 8 of the TBOC.
Chapter 8 of the TBOC permits a Texas corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to persons other than present or former directors, including officers, employees or agents, as provided by the corporation’s governing documents or contract, among other means, and requires that a corporation indemnify an officer to the same extent that indemnification is required under the TBOC.
Chapter 8 of the TBOC provides that a Texas corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liabilities (i) asserted against such person in his or her capacity or (ii) arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the company. A Texas
II-11
corporation has this power whether or not the corporation has the power to indemnify such person against the liability under Chapter 8 of the TBOC.
Section 7.001 of the TBOC provides that a certificate of formation or other governing document may provide that a director of a Texas corporation in not liable, or is liable only to the extent provided by the certificate of formation or other governing document, to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission by such person in such person’s capacity as a director of the corporation. However, a Texas corporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent such director is found liable under applicable law for:
|
·
|
a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders;
|
|
·
|
an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the corporation or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
·
|
a transaction from which the director received an improper personal benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s duties; or
|
|
·
|
an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute.

Article 692.1 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, or the VSCA, provides that, other than in cases of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law, in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the corporation, the damages assessed against an officer or director arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the monetary amount, including the elimination of liability, specified in the articles of incorporation or, if approved by the shareholders, in the bylaws as a limitation on or elimination of the liability of the officer or director; or (ii) the greater of $100,000 or the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or
II-12
director from the corporation during the twelve months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability was imposed. In addition, Article 690 of the VSCA provides that a director shall not be liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, if he discharges his duties in accordance with his good faith business judgment of the best interests of the corporation.
Articles 697 and 702 of the VSCA permit a corporation to indemnify a current or former director or officer against liability incurred as a party to a proceeding arising from his role as an officer or director of the corporation if the director or officer conducted himself in good faith and believed that his conduct was in the best interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation, and, in the case of criminal proceedings, if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Absent a court order, a corporation may not (i) indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding, or (ii) indemnify any director or officer found liable for receiving an improper personal benefit. A termination of the proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon the entry of a plea of nolo contendere is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet the relevant standard of conduct in Article 697. Article 701 of the VSCA provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible because he has met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in Article 697. That determination is made: (i) if there are two or more disinterested directors, by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by such a vote; (ii) by special legal counsel selected either in the manner prescribed in the previous clause, or if there are fewer than two disinterested directors, selected by the board of directors, in which selection directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate; or (iii) by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not qualify as a disinterested director may not be voted on the determination. In addition, pursuant to Articles 698 and 702 of the VSCA, a corporation must indemnify against reasonable expenses any current or former director or officer who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding arising from his role as an officer or director of the company to which he was a party. Article 699 of the VSCA permits a Virginia corporation to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if the corporation receives (i) a signed written statement from the director of such person’s good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (ii) a signed written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if the final determination is that the person has not met the relevant standard of conduct under the VSCA.
The articles of incorporation and the bylaws of Alpha European Sales, Inc. do not provide for indemnification of its directors or officers; however, the bylaws of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. require Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. to indemnify persons serving as officers or directors of other entities at the request of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., to the same extent as Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. indemnifies persons serving as officers or directors of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
The articles of incorporation of each of Appalachia Coal Sales Company, Inc. and Appalachia Holding Company in effect as of the date of this registration statement require the corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, or those serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the corporation, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with serving in that capacity, and to advance expenses incurred prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director, officer or other person was not entitled to indemnification. None of Appalachia Coal Sales Company, Inc. and Appalachia Holding Company may indemnify a person finally adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court in which the action or suit is brought determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. The rights of indemnification provided under the articles of incorporation of each of Appalachia Coal Sales Company, Inc. and Appalachia Holding Company in effect as of the date of this registration statement are not exclusive of any other right to which any person may be entitled, including any right under policies of insurance.
The bylaws of Haden Farms, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement require the corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, or those serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with serving in that capacity, and to advance expenses incurred prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director, officer or other person was not entitled to indemnification. Haden Farms, Inc. may not indemnify a person adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court in which the action or suit is brought
II-13
determines that the person is reasonably entitled to indemnification. The rights of indemnification provided under the bylaws of Haden Farms, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement are not exclusive of any other right under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, statute, court decision or otherwise.
The bylaws of Knox Creek Coal Corporation, in effect as of the date of this registration statement, permit, but do not require, the corporation to indemnify its directors and officers generally to the fullest extent authorized by the VSCA. The rights of indemnification provided under the bylaws of Knox Creek Coal Corporation, in effect as of the date of this registration statement, are not exclusive of any other right under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The articles of incorporation of New Eagle Industries, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement require the corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, or those serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the corporation, generally to the fullest extent authorized by the VSCA against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred in connection with serving in that capacity, and to advance expenses incurred prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay all amounts advanced by the corporation if it is determined that the director, officer or other person was not entitled to indemnification. The rights of indemnification provided under the articles of incorporation of Neweagle Industries, Inc. in effect as of the date of this registration statement are not exclusive of any other right under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The articles of incorporation in effect as of the date of this registration statement of the Class I Virginia Corporation Registrants require the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against claims, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit, proceeding or claim to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation, except if he or she is found liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties. This right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other right under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.
The articles of incorporation in effect as of the date of this registration statement of the Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants require the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against claims, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit, proceeding or claim to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation, except that the corporation will not indemnify against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or against any liability incurred in any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the officer or director where a court of competent jurisdiction adjudged that officer or director liable on the basis of improperly receiving a personal benefit. In addition, the Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants are required to advance expenses incurred prior to final disposition of any legal proceeding subject to the requirements of Article 699 of the VSCA and to a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. The articles of incorporation in effect as of the date of this registration statement of the Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants also provide that, in any proceeding brought by or in the right of any of the Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants or by or on behalf of their shareholders, directors or officers of Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants are not liable in any monetary amount for damages arising out of or resulting from a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct, unless (i) the officer or director engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction adjudged that officer or director liable on the basis of improperly receiving a personal benefit. The rights of indemnification provided under the articles of incorporation of the Class II Virginia Corporation Registrants in effect as of the date of this registration statement are not exclusive of any other right to which any person may be entitled, including any right under policies of insurance.
We maintain insurance on behalf of the directors and officers of the Virginia Corporation Registrants insuring them against claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.

Section 8-831 of the WVBCA provides that a director is not liable to the corporation or its shareholders for any decision to take or not to take action, or any failure to take any action, as a director, unless the party asserting liability in a proceeding establishes that the challenged conduct consisted or was the result of: (i) action not in good faith, (ii) a decision which the director did not reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation or as to which the director was not informed to an extent the director reasonably believed appropriate in the circumstances, (iii) lack of objectivity due to the director’s familial, financial or business relationship with, or a lack of independence due to the director's domination or control by, another person having a material interest in the challenged conduct: (a) which relationship or which domination or control could reasonably be expected to have affected the director's judgment respecting the challenged conduct in a manner adverse to the corporation; and (b) after a reasonable expectation has been established, the director does not establish that the challenged conduct was reasonably believed by the director to be in the best interests of the corporation, (iv) a sustained failure of the director to devote attention to ongoing oversight of the business and affairs of the corporation, or a failure to devote timely attention, by making or causing to be made appropriate inquiry when particular facts and circumstances of significant concern materialize that would alert a reasonably attentive director to the need for inquiry, or (v) receipt of a financial benefit to which the director was not entitled or any other breach of the director's duties to deal fairly with the corporation and its shareholders that is actionable under applicable law.
Sections 8-851 and 8-856 of the WVBCA provide that a corporation may indemnify any director or officer against liability in an action arising from his role as a director or officer of the company (other than in an action by or in the right of the corporation) 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, or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if the director or officer has met the aforementioned standards of conduct.

the liability of the LLC’s managers and officers for monetary damages or losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission constituting a breach of such person’s fiduciary duty is eliminated, except for: (i) a breach of such person’s duty of loyalty or duty of care to the LLC or its members; (ii) acts or omissions not consistent with the person’s obligation of good faith and fair dealing and which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iii) any transaction from which the person derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 47B-7-1(d) provides that a partnership shall indemnify a dissociated partner whose interest is being purchased against all partnership liabilities, whether incurred before or after the dissociation, except certain liabilities incurred by an act of the dissociated partner following disassociation.
The partnership agreement of Shannon-Pocahontas Mining Company provides that each partner shall indemnify and save harmless the partnership and the other partners from all liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from a breach by the indemnifying partner of the provisions of the agreement and from negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying partner in connection with the transactions contemplated by the agreement. The agreement does not provide for indemnification for officers or members of the management committee of Shannon-Pocahontas Mining Company; however, the bylaws of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. require Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. to indemnify persons serving as officers or directors of other entities at the request of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., to the same extent as Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. indemnifies persons serving as officers or directors of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
We maintain insurance on behalf of the members of the management committee and officers of Shannon-Pocahontas Mining Company insuring them against claims asserted against them in those capacities or arising out of such status.
The management of each registrant other than Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. has adopted a Policy Regarding Indemnification of Employees, pursuant to which the applicable registrant (i) shall indemnify all current and former employees of the registrant, which in the case of certain registrants may include some or all of its managers, directors and officers, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) with respect to his or her employment by or services rendered to the registrant, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the employee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if the employee acted in good faith and in a manner that the employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and,
II-19
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, and (ii) may advance to its employees expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending any indemnifiable action, suit or proceeding upon such terms and conditions as the President of the applicable registrant deems appropriate. Indemnification and advancement of expenses under this policy for employees of registrants who first became direct or indirect subsidiaries of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. as a result of the merger of Mountain Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Massey Energy Company (now named Alpha Appalachia Holdings, Inc.) on June 1, 2011 (the “Merger”), is limited to claims and legal proceedings arising from actions taken or not taken by such employees after the effective time of the Merger.
Item 16. EXHIBITS.
A list of exhibits filed with the registration statement on Form S-3 is set forth in the Exhibit Index and is incorporated into this Item 16 by reference.
Item 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) 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 of 1933;
(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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(A) each prospectus filed by the registrant 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
(B) 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 of 1933 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
II-20
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.
(5) that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) that, for 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) of 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
