PART II
Information Required in the Registration Statement
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Concero Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except to the extent prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), 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. Under Delaware law, the directors have a fiduciary duty to the Registrant that 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 director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant, 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 maintains liability insurance for its officers and directors.
The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Registrant shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, all of its present and former officers and directors, and any party agreeing to serve as an officer, director or trustee of any entity at the Registrant's request, in connection with any civil or criminal proceeding threatened or instituted against such party by reason of actions or omissions while serving in such capacity. Indemnification by the Registrant includes payment of expenses in defense of the indemnified party in advance of any proceeding or final disposition thereof. The rights to indemnification provided in this provision do not preclude the exercise of any other indemnification rights by any party pursuant to any law, agreement or vote of the stockholders or the disinterested directors of the Registrant.
Section 145 of the DGCL generally allows the Registrant to indemnify the parties described in the preceding paragraph for all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts in settlement actually paid and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceedings so long as such party acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, if such party had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct to be unlawful. Indemnification may only be made by the Registrant if the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145 has been met by the indemnified party upon a determination made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such proceedings (even though less than a quorum), or (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
