REOFFER PROSPECTUS

VERINT SYSTEMS INC.

1,794,699 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 1,794,699 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, by the selling stockholders listed in this prospectus. The selling stockholders acquired such shares pursuant to grants made under (1) the Verint Systems Inc. Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; (2) the Verint Systems Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; or (3) the Witness Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. The Verint Systems Inc. Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; the Verint Systems Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended; and the Witness Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Plans.”

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by any of the selling stockholders. The shares may be offered, from time to time, by any or all of the selling stockholders through ordinary brokerage transactions, in negotiated transactions or in other transactions, at such prices as he, she or they may determine, which may relate to market prices prevailing at the time of sale or be a negotiated price. See “Plan of Distribution.” We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer or sale of the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders.

Each selling stockholder and any broker executing selling orders on behalf of a selling stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. If any broker-dealers are used to effect sales, any commissions paid to broker-dealers and, if broker-dealers purchase any of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as principals, any profits received by such broker-dealers on the resales of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any profits realized by the selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

Shares of our common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “VRNT.” On August 20, 2010, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $23.38 per share.

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” on page 4 of this prospectus and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010, for a discussion of certain factors that should carefully be considered by prospective purchasers.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus is dated August 23, 2010.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements discussed in this prospectus constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance and statements of assumptions relating thereto. Forward-looking statements are often identified by future or conditional words such as “will,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include, among others:

• risks relating to the filing of our SEC reports, including the occurrence of known contingencies or unforeseen events that could delay our filings, management distractions, and significant expense;

• risks that our credit rating could be downgraded or placed on a credit watch based on, among other things, our financial results or delays in the filing of our periodic reports;

• risks associated with being a consolidated, controlled subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc., or Comverse, and formerly part of Comverse’s consolidated tax group, including risk of any future impact on us resulting from Comverse’s special committee investigation and restatement or related effects, and risks related to our dependence on Comverse to provide us with accurate financial information, including with respect to stock-based compensation expense and net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, for our financial statements;

• uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic conditions, particularly in information technology spending, on our business;

• risks that our financial results will cause us not to be compliant with the leverage ratio covenant under our credit facility or that any delays in the filing of future SEC reports could cause us not to be compliant with the financial statement delivery covenant under our credit facility;

• risks that customers or partners delay or cancel orders or are unable to honor contractual commitments due to liquidity issues, challenges in their business or otherwise;

• risks that we will experience liquidity or working capital issues and related risk that financing sources will be unavailable to us on reasonable terms or at all;

• uncertainties regarding the future impact on our business of our internal investigation, restatement, and extended filing delay, including customer, partner, employee, and investor concern, and potential customer and partner transaction deferrals or losses;

• risks relating to the remediation or inability to adequately remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and relating to the proper application of highly complex accounting rules and pronouncements in order to produce accurate SEC reports on a timely basis;

• risks relating to our implementation and maintenance of adequate systems and internal controls for our current and future operations and reporting needs;

• risks of possible future restatements if the processes used to produce the financial statements contained in our SEC reports are inadequate;

• risks associated with future regulatory actions or private litigations relating to our internal investigation, restatement or previous delays in filing required SEC reports;

Table of Contents

• risks that we will be unable to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market;

• risks associated with Comverse controlling our board of directors and a majority of our common stock (and therefore the results of any significant stockholder vote);

• risks associated with significant leverage resulting from our current debt position;

• risks due to aggressive competition in all of our markets, including with respect to maintaining margins and sufficient levels of investment in the business and with respect to introducing quality products which achieve market acceptance;

• risks associated with a significant amount of our business coming from domestic and foreign government customers;

• risks that we improperly handle sensitive or confidential information or perception of such mishandling;

• risks associated with dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain components of our products;

• risks that we are unable to maintain and enhance relationships with key resellers, partners and systems integrators; and

• risks that use of our NOLs or other tax benefits may be restricted or eliminated in the future.

You should carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings with the SEC, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010, for a discussion of these and other risks that relate to our business and an investment in shares of our common stock. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of such statements. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks described below and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings with the SEC, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010, together with the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected due to any of these risks. The trading price of our shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Some risk factors in this section are “forward-looking statements.” See “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

We do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We intend to retain our earnings to support the development and expansion of our business, to repay debt and for other corporate purposes and, as a result, we do not plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit facility or other restrictive debt agreements that we may be a party to at the time or senior securities we may have issued. Our credit facility limits us from paying cash dividends or other payments or distributions with respect to our capital stock. In addition, the terms of any future facility or other restrictive debt credit agreement may contain similar restrictions on our ability to pay any dividends or make any distributions or payments with respect to our capital stock. In addition, holders of our preferred stock are entitled to cumulative dividends before any dividends may be declared or set aside on our common stock.

Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is subject to the restrictions set forth under Delaware law. We cannot assure you that we will meet the criteria specified under Delaware law in the future, in which case we may not be able to pay dividends on our common stock even if we were to choose to do so.

The price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, and this may make it difficult for you to resell the common stock when you want to or at prices you find attractive.

There has been significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity securities, including our common stock, some of which is unrelated to the financial performance of the companies issuing the securities. The price for the shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following your purchase of such shares. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid due to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock caused by changes in our operating performance or prospects and other factors.

Some specific factors that may have a significant effect on our common stock market price include:

• actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating and financial results;

• developments related to investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve us;

• changes in financial estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;

• dispositions, acquisitions, and financings;

• actions of our current stockholders, including sales of our common stock by existing stockholders and our directors and executive officers;

• success of competitive service offerings or technologies;

• fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;

• investors’ general perception of us;

• regulatory developments; and

• developments related to the industries in which we compete.

Folio 4 /Folio

Table of Contents

Because our common stock has been re-listed on the NASDAQ Global Market only since July 6, 2010, we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an active trading market on the NASDAQ Global Market or otherwise or how liquid that market might become. Unless there is an active trading market for our common stock, you may have difficulty selling any shares of our common stock that you purchase. Consequently, you may not be able to sell our common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price you paid.

If we or our significant stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock following the sale of the shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus, the market price of our common stock may decline.

We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of common stock, including shares issuable pursuant to securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. We had 34,676,909 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 15, 2010 (including 1,787,224 of the shares included in this prospectus which were acquired by the selling stockholders on July 2, 2010 and July 6, 2010). In addition, at August 15, 2010, 6,631,398 shares of our common stock (including 7,475 of the shares included in this prospectus which were acquired by the selling stockholders on August 14, 2010 and August 23, 2010) were issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and awards which had not yet vested or which had been previously acquired upon vesting but had not yet been delivered. Additional shares of common stock are also available to be granted under our existing equity plans or may be granted under future equity plans.

In addition, under two registration rights agreements that we entered into with Comverse, Comverse has registration rights with respect to its common stock and preferred stock. Moreover, if it were convertible at August 15, 2010, our outstanding preferred stock could be converted into 10,171,350 shares of our common stock.

Sales of shares of our common stock in the public market following the sale of the shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Anti-takeover provisions in Delaware corporate law may make it difficult for our stockholders to replace or remove our current board of directors and could deter or delay third-parties from acquiring us, which may adversely affect the marketability and market price of our common stock.

We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change of control. For purposes of Section 203, “interested stockholder” means, generally, someone owning more than 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in Section 203.

Under any change of control, the lenders under our credit facility would have the right to require us to repay all of our outstanding obligations under the facility. Upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change”, as defined by the Certificate of Designation setting forth the terms of the preferred stock, and which includes a change of control, the holders of our preferred stock have the right to require us to repurchase their shares of preferred stock at the then current liquidation preference (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designation).

Folio 5 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Holders of our preferred stock have liquidation and other rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our board of directors has the authority to designate and issue preferred stock that may have dividend, liquidation and other rights that are senior to those of our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, 293,000 shares of our preferred stock have been issued and are outstanding. Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to cumulative dividends before any dividends may be declared or set aside on our common stock. Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before any payment is made to holders of our common stock, holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, which liquidation preference was approximately $329.0 million as of April 30, 2010. This will reduce the remaining amount of our assets, if any, available to distribute to holders of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by any of the selling stockholders. The proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the selling stockholders.

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer or sale of the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock previously issued pursuant to the Plans to certain of our officers, directors and employees that are being registered for resale. All of the shares of common stock that may be resold pursuant to this prospectus were previously acquired by the selling stockholders upon the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions relating to certain equity awards (i.e., the re-listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market and/or the passage of time).

The selling stockholders may resell any or all of such shares of common stock at any time they choose while this prospectus is effective. The inclusion in this prospectus of the officers, directors and employees named below who have acquired shares of our common stock under the Plans shall not be deemed to be an admission that any such individual is an “affiliate” of ours. There is no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

Shares of Common Stock Offered for Resale by Officers and Directors

The following table sets forth the following information to the extent known to the Company as of August 23, 2010 with respect to the shares of common stock previously issued under the Plans held by each selling stockholder who is an officer or director of the Company:

• the name of such selling stockholder and the principal position or positions with the Company held by such selling stockholder within the past three years;

• the number and percentage of shares of our common stock such selling stockholder beneficially owned as of August 23, 2010;

• the number of shares of our common stock to be offered for resale by such selling stockholder in this offering; and

• the number and percentage of shares of our common stock to be beneficially owned by such selling stockholder after completion of this offering.

As used in the following table, “beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act and means the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any equity security. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that he has the right to acquire within 60 days of August 23, 2010 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right.

The address of each selling stockholder listed in the following table is c/o Verint Systems Inc., 330 South Service Road, Melville, New York 11747.

These non-officer employees may sell up to an aggregate of 1,085,559 shares of common stock, representing 3.1% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders have not advised us of any specific plan for the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. If and when they occur, such sales may be made in any of the following manners:

• On the NASDAQ Global Market (or through the facilities of any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association on which shares of our common stock are then listed, admitted to unlisted trading privileges or included for quotation);

• in public or privately negotiated transactions;

• in transactions involving principals or brokers;

• in a combination of such methods of sale; or

• any other lawful methods.

Although sales of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are, in general, expected to be made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, the shares may also be sold at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, which may differ considerably.

When offering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, each of the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who sell the shares for the selling stockholders may be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by such selling stockholders and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be underwriting discounts and commissions.

Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by any stock exchange or market on which our common stock may be listed, including block trading in negotiated transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for their own accounts, and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions directly, or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents acting on their behalf. In connection with such sales, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts, any or all of which might be in excess of customary amounts.

Each of the selling stockholders is acting independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of shares. We have not been advised of any definitive selling arrangement at the date of this prospectus between any selling stockholder and any broker-dealer or agent.

To the extent required, the names of any agents, broker-dealers or underwriters and applicable commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts, and any other required information with respect to any particular offer of the shares by the selling stockholders, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement.

The expenses of preparing and filing this prospectus and the related registration statement with the SEC will be paid entirely by us. The selling stockholders have been advised that they are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, including without limitation Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Neither we nor the selling stockholders can currently estimate the amount of commissions or discounts, if any, that will be paid by the selling stockholders on account of their sales of the shares from time to time.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that the Company 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 other than an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, agent or employee 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 the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acting 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 Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the Company as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which any person shall have been adjudged liable to the Company, unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. Furthermore, under the DGCL, if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, or in the 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.

Folio II-1 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful purchase or redemption of stock, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

The above is a general summary of certain indemnity provisions of the DGCL and is subject, in all cases, to the specific and detailed provisions of the Sections referenced herein.

As permitted by the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation includes a provision to eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to limited exceptions. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that every person who is or was our director, officer, employee or agent or is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise, serving as such at our request, shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law for all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding involving such person in this capacity. The Company has also entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and officers under which the Company agreed to provide indemnification and expense reimbursement as outlined above.

The Company has agreed to indemnify Comverse Technology, Inc. (“Comverse”) and its directors, officers, employees and agents against any liabilities arising out of any claim that any provision of the business opportunities agreement, entered into by the Company and Comverse, breaches any duty that may be owed to the Company by Comverse or any such person.

The Company has provided directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s officers and directors since 2006. Previously, Comverse obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which also provided coverage for the Company’s officers and directors under a Corporate Services Agreement entered into by the Company and Comverse.

Each of the Company’s directors who is also a director and/or officer of Comverse has an indemnification agreement with Comverse. Under this agreement Comverse has agreed to indemnify such person against losses and expenses, to the extent permitted by law, incurred by such person in connection with his service as director and/or officer of Comverse or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

As previously disclosed, as a result of the Company’s inability to file required reports with the Commission during the Company’s extended filing delay period, the Company previously ceased using its existing registration statements on Form S-8 to make equity grants to employees. On May 24, 2007, the Company received a no-action letter from the Commission upon which the Company relied to make broad-based equity grants to employees under a no-sale theory. The Company has also made equity grants to directors, executive officers and certain other non-officer executives who qualify as accredited investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. All of the shares of common stock that may be offered pursuant to this registration statement were acquired by the selling stockholders upon the grant of restricted stock pursuant to an applicable private placement exemption or the vesting of equity awards issued pursuant to the no-sale theory or an applicable private placement exemption.

Item 9. 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;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, 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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 will 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, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
