Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article
10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act allows, in general, for
indemnification, in certain circumstances, by a corporation of any person
threatened with or made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of
the fact that he or she is, or was, a director, officer, employee or agent of
such corporation. Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a criminal
action or proceeding where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that
his or her conduct was unlawful. Article 9 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act
provides limitations on damages payable by officers and directors, except in
cases of willful misconduct or knowing violation of criminal law or any federal
or state securities law.
Article
VII of CSX’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides for
mandatory indemnification of any director or officer of CSX who is, was or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (including any proceeding by or
on behalf of CSX) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of CSX against all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred in the
proceeding, except such liabilities and expenses as are incurred because of such
director’s or officer’s willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal
law.
CSX’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that in every
instance permitted under Virginia corporate law in effect from time to time, the
liability of a director or officer of CSX to CSX or our shareholders arising out
of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct will be limited to one
dollar.
CSX
maintains a standard policy of officers’ and directors’ liability
insurance.

Item 8. Exhibits
.

The
exhibits to this Registration Statement are described in the Exhibit Index
below.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The
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
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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:
Paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference 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 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.
(b)
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of its annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and each filing of the 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 herein, 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 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 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 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.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
Jacksonville, State of Florida, on July 17, 2009.
