Our Business
We are a medical technology company focused on the design, development, and advancement of technology for better surgical treatment of spinal disorders. We are dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery. We have a broad product portfolio designed to address the majority of U.S. market for fusion-based spinal disorder solutions. We intend to drive growth by exploiting our collective spine experience and investing in research and development to continually differentiate our solutions and improve spine surgery. We believe our future success will be fueled by introducing market-shifting innovation to the spine market, and we believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on current spine market dynamics.
We market and sell our products in the U.S. through a network of independent distributors and direct sales representatives. An objective of our leadership team is to deliver increasingly consistent, predictable growth. To accomplish this, we have partnered more closely with new and existing distributors to create a more dedicated and loyal sales channel for the future. We have added, and intend to continue to add, new high-quality dedicated distributors to expand future growth. We believe this will allow us to reach an untapped market of surgeons, hospitals, and national accounts across the U.S., as well as better penetrate existing accounts and territories.
We have made significant progress in the transition of our sales channel since early 2017. Going forward, we intend to continue to relentlessly drive toward a fully exclusive network of independent and direct sales agents. Recent consolidation in the industry is facilitating the process, as large seasoned agents are seeking opportunities to re-enter the spine market by partnering with spine-focused companies that have broad, growing product portfolios.

The Offering
This prospectus covers up to 4,838,710 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants which we issued on June 21, 2019 to the selling stockholders.
On June 21, 2019, in consideration of the selling stockholders providing capital to the Company pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement dated March 27, 2019, we issued to the selling stockholders new warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 4,838,710 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.17 per share, which we refer to as the 2019 Warrants. The 2019 Warrants are exercisable from June 21, 2019 through June 21, 2026. The 2019 Warrants contain provisions which would adjust the exercise price, and in inverse proportion adjust the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2019 Warrants, in the event we pay stock dividends, effect stock splits or complete other transactions specified in the 2019 Warrants. The 2019 Warrants also contain provisions which would adjust the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2019 Warrants if we issue shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock at prices below the exercise price of the 2019 Warrants at the time of such issuance, subject to specified exceptions.
We also agreed to file a registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, on or before July 21, 2019, to register for resale the shares that may be issued upon exercise of the 2019 Warrants. We have also agreed to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as possible and in any event between 60 and 90 days after June 21, 2019. Once the registration statement is declared effective we have agreed to use our best efforts to keep it effective until all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been sold or may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and with the requirement for us to be in compliance with the correct public information requirement of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

statement is not declared effective within 90 days following the date of issuance of the securities, or the warrant selling stockholders are otherwise unable to re-sell the shares purchased upon exercise of the 2019 Warrants, we will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to the selling stockholders until the selling stockholders are again able to re-sell the shares purchased upon exercise of the 2019 Warrants.

Shares Issued to Certain Selling Stockholders in the Merger
On March 6, 2018, the Company and its newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary, Safari Merger Sub, Inc. (“Sub”), entered into the Merger Agreement with SafeOp, certain key stockholders of SafeOp, and a stockholder representative. The Merger Agreement provided for the Merger, which was consummated on March 8, 2018, in which Sub was merged into SafeOp, with SafeOp being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid to the former stockholders of SafeOp $15 million in cash, the Merger Closing Shares, the Merger Notes that are convertible into the Merger Shares and the Merger Warrants to purchase the Merger Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. An additional 443,421 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon achievement of certain post-closing milestones (the “First Milestone Merger Shares”), and 886,842 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon achievement of certain additional post-closing milestones (the “Second Milestone Merger Shares”). The Merger Closing Shares, Merger Note Shares, Merger Warrant Shares, First Milestone Merger Shares, and Second Milestone Merger Share are referred to collectively as the “Merger Shares.” The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) occurred simultaneous with the closing and funding of the Private Placement described below.
Prior to the Merger there were no material relationships between the Company and SafeOp or any affiliates of the Company and SafeOp. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by SafeOp and the Company, as well as customary indemnification provisions among the parties.
Shares Issued to Certain Selling Stockholders in the Private Placement
On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company sold in the Private Placement to certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), including certain directors and executive officers of the Company, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, 45,200 shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”) of its newly designated Series B Preferred Stock, and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase the Private Placement Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $3.50 per share.
The Series B Preferred Shares will be converted automatically into the Series B Preferred Conversion Shares at a conversion price of $3.15 per share (subject to adjustment as described below and in the Series B Designation of Rights (as defined below)) upon approval by the Company’s stockholders (the “Stockholder Approval”) at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as required in accordance with the Nasdaq rules described below. The Private Placement Warrants will become exercisable following Stockholder Approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations in certain cases, and expire five years after the date of the Stockholder Approval. The Series B Preferred Conversion Shares and the Private Placement Warrant Shares are referred to collectively as the “Private Placement Shares.”
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement were $45.2 million. The Company used a portion of the Private Placement proceeds to fund the cash consideration paid in the Merger. The Company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes, and to fund additional strategic initiatives.
The rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock are designated by the Company’s Board of Directors in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock of Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Series B Designation of Rights”).
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has $0.0001 par value per share and a stated value of $1,000, with the aggregate stated value of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock being $45.2 million.
The Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends on anas-if-converted basis in the same form as any dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock or other securities. In addition, until the earlier of the date there are no shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, or one year from the effective date of this registration statement, the conversion price in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock is also subject to anti-dilution protection adjustment in the event the Company issues securities at an effective price less than the initial conversion price thereof, subject to certain exceptions. If the Stockholder Approval is not obtained, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not become convertible, and will remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Series B Designation of Rights.

Shares Issued to a Selling Stockholder in Connection with the Warrant Exercise Agreement
On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Warrant Exercise Agreement with the Warrant Holder to purchase up tothis prospectus. We will issue an aggregate of 2.4 million4,838,710 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Original Warrant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Exercise Agreement, the Warrant Holder agreed to exercise, from time to time and in accordance with the terms of the Original Warrant, including certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein, the Original Warrant for cash (the “Warrant Exercise”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise, the Company received gross proceeds of $3.4 million on March 8, 2018 from the exercise of 1.7 million shares under the Original Warrant, and expects to receive additional gross proceeds of up to $1.4 million thereafter from additional exercises of the remaining shares under the Original Warrant following Stockholder Approval. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Original Warrant for general corporate and working capital purposes and to fund strategic initiatives.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Exercise Agreement, and in order to induce the Warrant Holder to exercise the Original Warrant, the Company issued the New Warrants to the Warrant Holder. The New Warrants entitle the Warrant Holder to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 75% of the number of shares of Common Stock receivedcommon stock potentially offered by the Warrant Holder upon the full cash exercise of the Original Warrant (i.e., 75% of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock, or 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock). The terms of the New Warrants are substantially similar to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants, and have an exercise price of $3.50 per share.
The New Warrants will become exercisable following Stockholder Approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations, and expire five years after the date of Stockholder Approval.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, the Merger, and the Warrant Exercise Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (as amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, the former stockholders of SafeOp, and the Warrant Holder (collectively, the “Holders”), effective as of the Closing. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC (the “Resale Registration Statement”) by April 16, 2018 for purposes of registering the resale of the Private Placement Shares, the Merger Shares, and the New Warrant Shares. Thisthis prospectus is part of the Resale Registration Statement filed in furtherance of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
Support Agreements
In connection with the Private Placement, the Merger and the Warrant Exercise Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company then comprising a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entered into support agreements (the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Company’s issuances of the Merger Shares in connection with the Merger, Private Placement Shares in connection with the Private Placement, and New Warrant Shares in connection with the New Warrants. Accordingly, a sufficient number of stockholders signed the Support Agreements to ensure approval of the Company’s issuance of the Merger Shares in connection with the Merger, the Private Placement Shares in connection with the Private Placement, and the New Warrant Shares in connection with the New Warrants.
Stockholder Approval Requirements
The Company’s issuances of Merger Shares, Private Placement Shares and New Warrant Shares are subject to the Stockholder Approval requirements summarized below. Until we have obtained Stockholder Approval, we will not issue Merger Shares, Private Placement Shares or New Warrant Shares in excess of 19.9% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to the Merger and Private Placement. Also, until Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Company will not issue any Private Placement Shares to any “Insiders” of the Company (officers, directors, employees, consultants), at prices less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company will not issue any Merger Note Shares, Second Milestone Shares, Merger Warrant Shares, Series B Conversion Shares, Private Placement Warrant Shares or New Warrant Shares until we have obtained Stockholder Approval.
Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and we are subject to the Nasdaq Listing Rules (“Nasdaq Rules”) governing listing requirements (Section 5500 of the Nasdaq Rules for securities listed on the Capital Market) and corporate governance (Section 5600 of the Nasdaq Rules) of companies with securities listed on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the terms of both the Merger Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, we have covenanted to obtain approval of our stockholders as may be required by the Nasdaq Rules.
Nasdaq Rules 5635(a), (b) and (d), apply to the issuance of shares of our Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock):
(A) representing more than 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock or voting power of the Company in connection with: (i) the acquisition of SafeOp pursuant to the Merger; (ii) the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the of Series B Preferred Stock and related exercise of the Private Placement Warrants; and (iii) the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stockonly upon the exercise of the New Warrants;
(B) in connection with2019 Warrants by the Securities Purchase Agreement to Insiders at less than market prices; and
(C) in connection withselling stockholders. If the Merger, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Exercise Agreement that could result in a Nasdaq Change in Control.
Common Stock issuances referred to in (A) through (C) above would occur with respect to:

We are registering the shares of the Second Milestone Merger Shares, all in connection with the Merger;
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) (the “20% Acquisition Rule”) requires that an issuer obtain stockholder approval prior to2019 Warrants, the issuanceselling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock in connection with the acquisitionby each of the stock or assets of another company if, due to the present or potential issuance of common stock, including shares issued pursuant to anearn-out provision or similar type of provision, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock: (i) the common stock has or will have upon issuance voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii)selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20%beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of July 15, 2019, assuming exercise of the 2019 Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus covers the resale of the sum the maximum number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuanceissuable upon exercise of the stock or securities. The issuance2019 Warrants, determined as if the outstanding 2019 Warrants were exercised in full as of the Merger Closing Shares, andtrading day immediately preceding the potential issuance of the First Milestone Merger Shares, represent issuances by the Company of less than 19.99% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, and thus could be effected prior to and without Stockholder Approval. However, for purposes of analyzing application of the Nasdaq stockholder approval rules, and compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(a) in particular, the Company is aggregating the Merger Shares, the Private Placement Shares and the New Warrant Shares. The proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Private Placement Warrants were used, in part, to finance the Merger, and the Merger Shares were issued as part of the consideration paid to the former stockholders of SafeOp in connectiondate this registration statement was initially filed with the Merger. Thus,SEC, and subject to adjustment as provided in the conversion of the Merger Notes,2019 Warrants, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Merger Warrants and2019 Warrants. The fourth column assumes the potential
issuancesale of the Second Milestone Merger Shares (all in connection with the Merger), the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Private Placement, and the exercise of the New Warrants will result in the issuance of our Common Stock representing in excess of 20% of the voting power, and 20% of the number of shares of our Common Stock, in each case, outstanding, before the Merger and the Private Placement.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “20% Private Placement Rule”) requires that an issuer obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock if such issuance is for less than the greater of book or market value of the common stock and would equal 20% or more of the common stock or voting power of the issuer outstanding before the issuance. The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock is less than the greater of the book or market value of our Common Stock immediately before we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Securities Purchase Agreement include anti-dilution adjustments that could result in a reduction of the conversion price, or the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, in the future. Furthermore, the issuance of our Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will exceed 20% of our Common Stock currently outstanding.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) (the “Insider Equity Compensation Rule”) requires that we obtain stockholder approval prior to issuing shares of common stock to Insiders of the Company at less than market price, including issuance of our Common Stock upon conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock at the current conversion price of $3.15 per share, and potential anti-dilution issuances of Common Stock to any such Insiders pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, Stockholder Approval will include approval at the Company’s Annual Meeting to issue the Series B Preferred Conversion Shares, the Private Placement Warrant Shares, and shares of Common Stock pursuant to any anti-dilution protection provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement or Series B Designation of Rights, to Insiders of the Company, when Common Stock is issued in such transactions at less than market value.
In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) requires prior stockholder approval for issuances of securities that could result in a “change of control” of the issuer (the “Change of Control Rule”). Nasdaq may deem a change of control to occur when, as a result of an issuance, an investor or a group would own, or have the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power, and such ownership or voting power of an issuer would be the largest ownership position of the issuer (a “Nasdaq Change of Control”). Upon securing Stockholder Approval and triggering the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock,L-5 Healthcare Partners, LLC (“L-5 Healthcare”), as the lead purchaser in the Private Placement, would own in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or voting power of the Company. Stockholder Approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Change of Control Rule, as that rule would be triggered by the issuance of Common Stock toL-5 Healthcare upon conversion of its Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of its Private Placement Warrants.
Selling Stockholders
This prospectus covers the public resale of the shares of Common Stock owned or to be acquired by the Purchasers in connection with the Private Placement, by the former SafeOp stockholders in connection with the Merger, and by the Warrant Holder listed in the table below as the selling stockholders (together with their transferees, pledgees, donees, or successors, the “Selling Stockholders”). The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them identified in the table. The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of the shares covered by this prospectus, and they and we make no representation that the shares will be offered for sale. The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholders and the shares that they may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus.
The following table sets forth:
All information with respect to Common Stock ownership of the Selling Stockholders has been furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders and is as of April 11, 2018. We believe, based on information supplied by the Selling Stockholders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in this section, each of the Selling Stockholders and its affiliates identified herein have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by it. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell some or all of the shares included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Stockholders in the future. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Common Stock they hold in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set forth on the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that each Selling Stockholder will sell all of the shares owned beneficially by it listed in the table below that are covered by this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Private Placement2019 Warrants, and the New Warrants, the Selling Stockholders, unless they elect otherwise,a selling stockholder may not exercise the Private Placement Warrants or the New2019 Warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause the Selling Stockholder,such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stockcommon stock which would exceed the applicable beneficial ownership limitation set forth therein (4.99% or, at the election4.99% of the holder, 9.99%) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”),our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stockcommon stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the New2019 Warrants which have not been exercised. However, theThe number of shares in the second column of the table below assumes full exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the New Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders, and does not reflect the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and the New Warrants as set forth in this paragraph.
limitation. The third column of the table lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the Merger Closing Shares, (ii) the Merger Note Shares, (iii) the Milestone Shares, (iv) the Merger Warrant Shares, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Merger Warrants, (v) the Series B Conversion Preferred Shares, (vi) the Private Placement Warrant Shares, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, (vii) the New Warrant Shares, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the New Warrants and (viii) an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend, or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the forgoing. The Selling Stockholdersselling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution,Distribution.” below.
Beneficial ownership for the purposesEach of the tableselling stockholders that is determined in accordanceaffiliated with a registered broker-dealer purchased the rules and regulations of the SEC. The SEC rules regarding beneficial ownership determination generally provide that a person is the “beneficial owner” of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof, or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we are seeking Stockholder Approval of the issuance of Merger Note Shares,
Milestone Shares, Merger Warrant Shares, Series B Preferred Conversion Shares, Private Placement Warrant Shares and New Warrant Shares, all as described above. Certain stockholders of the Company comprising a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entered into the Support Agreement in connection with the Merger the Private Placement and the Warrant Exercise Agreement as describe above. However, notwithstanding the Support Agreements, we cannot determine with certainty at this time whether, or if, Stockholder Approval will be secured within 60 days of the date of this registration statement. For purposes only of the table calculations presented below, we assume that the Company will secure the Stockholder Approval, and that the Selling Stockholders are therefore the beneficial owners of all Merger Shares, Private Placement Shares and New Warrant Shares. Except as disclosedoffered hereby in the table, we believe thatordinary course of business and does not have any agreement or understandings, directly or indirectly, to distribute the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates identified herein possess sole voting and investment power over all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially ownedoffered by such Selling Stockholders and affiliates.this prospectus.

Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith;

Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or

The Company’s Bylaws Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the right to indemnification includes the right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that such advance payment will only be made upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification. If we do not pay a proper claim for indemnification in full within 60 days after we receive a written claim for such indemnification, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our restatedby-laws authorize the claimant to bring an action against us and prescribe what constitutes a defense to such action.
