PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

 

The estimated expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) to be incurred in connection with the distribution of the securities being registered hereby are as follows:

 

SEC Registration Fee  $20,282.50 
Legal Fees and Expenses   (1)
Accounting Fees and Expenses   (1)
Indenture Trustees’ Fees and Expenses   (1)
Printing, Engraving and Mailing Expenses   (1)
Rating Agency Fees   (1)
Miscellaneous   (1)
Total  $(1)

 

(1) Because an indeterminate amount of securities are covered by this Registration Statement and the number of offerings is indeterminable, these fees cannot be estimated at this time.

 

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Maryland General Corporation Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages. The MGCL also requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding made or threatened to be made by reason of their service to the corporation.

 

Charter and Bylaws. Our Charter and Bylaws obligate us, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to present and former officers and directors in advance of final disposition of a proceeding made or threatened to be made by reason of such officer’s or director’s service to KeyW.

 

Insurance. We maintain directors and officers liability insurance, which covers the directors and officers of The KeyW Holding Corporation and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries against certain claims or liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties.

 

Item 16. Exhibits

 

A list of the exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K to be filed as part of this registration statement is set forth in the Exhibit Index below and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) Each of the undersigned registrants 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 a 20 % 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:

 

(B) Paragraphs (a)(l)(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or as to a registration statement on Form S-3, 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:

 

(i)(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 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; or

 

 

 

 

(ii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

 

(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.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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.

 

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

 

(h) 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.

  

(j) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(4)         Subject to the terms of any shares of Preferred Stock that may be outstanding from time to time, vacancies in the Board of Directors, except for vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled only by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, except that vacancies resulting from removal from office by a vote of the stockholders may be filled by the stockholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs. Subject to the terms of any shares of Preferred Stock that may be outstanding from time to time, vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority vote of the entire Board of Directors. Except to the extent provided in the Charter, no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(4)          The Corporation reserves the right to adopt, repeal, rescind, alter or amend in any respect any provision contained in this Charter, including but not restricted to, any amendments changing the terms of any class of its stock by classification, reclassification or otherwise, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

7. Interest Holders

 

The name, present mailing address and percentage interest held in the Company (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Percentage Interests”) of each Member and any other interest holders in the Company (Members and other interest holders are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “Interest Holders” and each as an “Interest Holder”) is set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Exhibit A shall also indicate which Interest Holders are Members and which Interest Holders are non-Members.

 

8. Management.

 

(a) Managers and Officers. The Company shall be managed by the Managers, who may, but need not, be a Member. William J. Weber, Mark A. Willard, and Michael J. Alber are hereby designated to serve as the managers (the managers and any future managers (if any) elected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Manager” and collectively the “Managers”), and their addresses are set forth in Exhibit B hereto. William J. Weber is hereby designated to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.

 

 

 

 

(b) Management. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by its Managers. The Managers shall direct, manage, and control the business of the Company to the best of his/her/their ability. Except for situations in which the approval of the Member is expressly required by this Agreement (in any Section hereof) or by nonwaivable provisions of the Act or other applicable law, the Managers (and each Manager acting individually except as set forth in the following paragraph) shall have full and complete authority, power, and discretion to direct, manage and control the business, affairs, and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business, and to delegate to any officers appointed by the Members such functions and responsibilities as are usual and customary for such officer positions.

 

At any time when there is more than one Manager, any one Manager may take any action permitted to be taken by the “Managers”, unless approval of more than one of the Managers is expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, the Act or other applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one of the Managers is required to approve a certain action by any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall specify the exact number of Managers required to take such action (i.e. two, three, etc.) or state “all Managers” (otherwise the use of the word “Managers” by itself does not mean that the approval of more than one Manager is required).

 

(c) Number, Tenure, and Qualification. The number of Managers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time, and the Managers shall be elected, by the affirmative vote or written consent of the Members holding fifty percent (50%) of the interests in the Company (based on Percentage Interests held by Members as set forth on Exhibit A hereto). At no time shall there be less than one Manager. Each Manager shall hold office (i) until his or her death or resignation, (ii) until a successor shall have been elected, or (iii) until the Members holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the interests in the Company consent to remove such Manager from his or her position (as a Manager of the Company).

 

(d) Extraordinary Actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no act shall be taken or sum expended or obligations incurred by the Company which constitutes “Extraordinary Actions” as defined herein, unless the same has been approved by an affirmative vote of Members holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the Percentage Interests then held by Members. “Extraordinary Actions” shall mean:

 

(i) sale, gross lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to one buyer/lessee;

 

(ii) the placing of any encumbrance on assets of the Company;

 

(iii) the borrowing of money (including refinancings) for the Company from any person, entity, banks, other lending institutions, any of the Managers, any of the Members, or entities in which any of the Managers or Members have an interest, and in connection therewith, to hypothecate, encumber, and grant security interests in the assets of the Company to secure repayment of the borrowed sums. No debt shall be contracted or liability incurred by or on behalf of the Company except by the Managers or to the extent permitted under the Act, by agents or employees of the Company expressly authorized by the Managers to contract such debt or incur such liability;

 

(iv) lending, assuming or guaranteeing debt in excess of $25,000.00 in any fiscal year;

 

 

 

 

(v) making any expenditure or incurring any obligations by or of the Company involving a sum in excess of $25,000.00 for any transaction or group of similar transactions, except for expenditures made and obligations incurred pursuant to a contract theretofore approved by the Members up to the amount specified therein;

 

(vi) the recoveries of damage awards or insurance proceeds, or the condemnation of any property of the Company; or

 

(vii) any other decision or action which by any provisions of this Agreement, the Act or other applicable law is required to be approved by the Members.

 

(e) Compensation of Managers. Managers shall be entitled to reasonable compensation, as approved by the Members, for services or activities undertaken in their capacity as Managers, and shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of the Company.

 

(f) Officers. The Members in their discretion may (but shall not be obligated to) appoint officers of the Company, including a chief executive officer, president, executive vice president, one or more vice presidents, a treasurer, chief financial officer and a secretary. Any such officers shall be elected annually by the Members. Each officer shall hold office until the officer’s successor is elected and qualifies or until the officer’s death, resignation, or removal in the manner hereinafter provided. Election of an officer or agent shall not of itself create any rights between the Company and that officer or agent. Any officer or agent of the Company may be removed by the Manager or by majority vote of the Percentage Interests then held by Members. Any officer of the Company may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. A vacancy in any office may be filled by majority vote of the Percentage Interests then held by Members. All officers (if any) shall act under the direction and control of the Manager.

 

9. Members

 

(a) Voting of Members. All Members shall be entitled to vote on any matter concerning the Company’s business which is expressly reserved to them by this Agreement, the Act or other applicable law.

Non-Member Interest Holders shall not have any voting rights.

 

(b) Meetings of Members. Meetings of Members for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Members holding at least fifty percent (50%) of the interests in the Company then held by Members.

No Interest Holder, in his, her or its capacity as a Member or as a non-Member Interest Holder, shall have any liability to restore any negative balance in his or her Capital Account. In no event shall any Interest Holder, in his or her capacity as a Member or non-Member Interest Holder, be personally liable for any liabilities or obligations of the Company.

 

 

 

 

11. Return of Contributions.

12. Share of Profits and Other Items.

 

(a) The net profits, net losses, net cash flow, and net proceeds of any sale or refinancing of any property of the Company or upon liquidation of the Company shall be allocated among the Interest Holders according to the Percentage Interests of each Interest Holder.

(b) Net profits and net losses shall, for both accounting and tax purposes, be net profits and net losses as determined for reporting on the Company's federal income tax return. For tax purposes, all items of depreciation, gain, loss, deduction, or credit shall be determined in accordance with the Code and, except to the extent otherwise required by the Code, allocated to and among the Interest Holders in the same percentages in which the Interest Holders share in net profits and net losses.

 

13. Transfers of a Interest Holder’s interest in the Company.

 

Subject to Section 14 of this Agreement, no Member may sell, assign, give, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or otherwise transfer, including, without limitation, any assignment or transfer by operation of law or by order of court, such Member's interest in the Company or any part thereof, or in all or any part of the assets of the Company, without the unanimous written consent of all of the Members, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

(b) The Company shall indemnify each Manager and each Member for any act performed by a (i) Manager within the scope of the authority conferred on a Manager by this Agreement, or (ii) Member with respect to Company matters, except with respect to any matter as to which such Manager or such Member shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Company.
