PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina.
Section 8.51 of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the "NCBCA")
provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a
proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the
proceeding if (i) he conducted himself in good faith, (ii) he reasonably
believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the
corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests, and (b) in all other
cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests, and
(iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 8.51 provides that the termination
of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
no contest or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the
director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct. Section 8.51
prohibits indemnification of a director (i) in connection with a proceeding by
or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable
to the corporation, and (ii) in connection with any other proceeding charging
improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his
official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received by him. Indemnification permitted under
Section 8.51 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation that is concluded without a final adjudication on the issue of
liability is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
proceeding.
Section 8.52 of the NCBCA provides that, unless limited by its articles of
incorporation, a corporation shall mandatorily indemnify a director who was
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the
corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the
proceeding. Section 8.56 of the NCBCA provides that an officer of the
corporation is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 8.52 to the
same extent as a director, and that the corporation may otherwise indemnify
and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to
the same extent as to a director. Section 8.57 of the NCBCA provides that, in
addition to and separate and apart from the indemnification provided under the
NCBCA, a corporation may in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or by
contract or resolution indemnify or agree to indemnify any one or more of its
directors, officers, employees, or agents against liability and expenses in
any proceeding (including without limitation a proceeding brought by or on
behalf of the corporation itself) arising out of their status as such or their
activities in any of the foregoing capacities; provided, however, that a
corporation may not indemnify or agree to indemnify a person against liability
or expenses he may incur on account of his activities which were at the time
taken known or believed by him to be clearly in conflict with the best
interests of the corporation. Section 8.57 also provides that any provision of
any articles of incorporation, by-law, contract, or resolution permitted under
such section may include provisions for recovery from the corporation of
reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees in connection with the
enforcement of rights to indemnification granted therein and may further
include provisions establishing reasonable procedures for determining and
enforcing the rights granted therein.
The articles of incorporation, as amended, of the Company provide that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of any duty as a director except and only to the extent
applicable law restricts such indemnification. The by-laws of the Company
provide that any person who at any time serves as a director or officer of the
Company, or in such capacity at the request of the Company for any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a
trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan, shall have a right to
be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against
(a) reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, actually
incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding (and any appeal thereof), whether civil,
II-1
criminal, administrative, investigative or arbitrative, and whether or not
brought by or on behalf of the Company, seeking to hold him liable by reason
of the fact that he is or was acting in such capacity, and (b) reasonable
payments made by him in satisfaction of any judgment, money decree, fine
(including, without limitation, an excise tax assessed with respect to an
employee benefit plan), penalty or settlement for which he may have become
liable in any such action, suit or proceeding.
Kilovac and Kilovac International
Kilovac and Kilovac International are incorporated under the laws of the
State of California. Section 317(b) of the California General Corporation Law
(the "CGCL") and Section 15 of the by-laws of each of Kilovac and Kilovac
International (collectively, the "Kilovac By-laws") provide that a corporation
may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was
a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) he conducted
himself in good faith, (ii) he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the
best interests of the Corporation and (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 317(b) of the GGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws also provide
that the termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite
standard of conduct.
Section 317(c) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws provide
that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is
a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the
corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person
acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best
interests of the corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry,
as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar
circumstances.
Section 317(c) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws prohibit
indemnification of a director (i) in connection with any claim, issue or
matter as to which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation in the performance of his duty to the corporation, unless and only
to the extent that the court in which such action was brought determines upon
application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which such
court shall determine; (ii) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing
of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or (iii) of
expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled
or otherwise disposed of without court approval.
Section 317(d) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws provide
that to the extent that an agent of this corporation has been successful on
the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 317(b) or (c)
for which indemnification is permitted or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.
Section 317(e) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws provide
that, except as provided in Section 317(d) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the
Kilovac By-laws, any indemnification under this section shall be made by the
corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that
indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent
has met the applicable standard of conduct in Section 317(b) or (c) of the
CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws, by: (i) a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding; (ii)
approval or ratification by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
of the corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at
which a quorum is present or by the written consent of holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares entitled to vote or (iii) the court in which such
proceeding is or was pending, upon application made by this corporation or the
agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with
the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney or other
person is opposed by the corporation.
Section 317(f) of the CGCL and Section 15 of the Kilovac By-laws provide
that expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the
corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding
II-2
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to repay such
amount unless it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is entitled to
be indemnified as authorized in Section 317 of the CGCL and Section 15 of the
Kilovac By-laws.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) 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 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.
(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 the 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.
(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 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) 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 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 Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through
the date of responding to the request.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.
