Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

As authorized by section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, each director and officer of a corporation may be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred regarding the defense or settlement of threatened, pending or completed legal proceedings. Each director or officer will have the right of indemnification if he or she:

 

•

is involved in the legal proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation;

 

•

acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed was in the best interests of the corporation; and

 

•

in a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

However, if the legal proceeding is by or in the right of the corporation, the director or officer may not be indemnified for claims, issues or matters as to which the director or officer is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the corporation unless a court determines otherwise.

Article SIXTH of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that authorize the indemnification of directors and officers. Under article SIXTH, we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement. In addition, this right of indemnification continues to persons who have ceased to be our directors or officers and to his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. However, unless the legal proceeding was authorized or consented to by our board of directors, we are not obligated to indemnify a director or officer, or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives, regarding the proceeding initiated by the same director or officer, or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives. Finally, article SIXTH provides that a repeal or modification of article SIXTH by the stockholders must not adversely affect the rights to indemnification of directors and officers regarding any acts or omissions that occurred before the repeal or modification.

Set forth below are material provisions of article EIGHTH of our amended and restated by-laws that authorize the indemnification of directors and officers:

 

•

Section 2 of article EIGHTH states that if a director or officer is adjudged to be liable to us by a court of law there would be no right of indemnification unless the court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

 

•

Under section 3 of article EIGHTH, authorization as to whether a director or officer should be indemnified is made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the action, suit or

---

proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (b) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or (c) by the stockholders. However, if a director or officer has been successful on the merits or defense of the action, suit or proceeding, then that person will be indemnified without authorization.

 

•

According to section 5 of article EIGHTH, directors or officers may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for indemnification.

 

•

Section 6 of article EIGHTH provides that the directors and officers have the right to be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in defending or participating in a legal proceeding in advance of the proceeding’s final disposition.

 

•

Pursuant to section 8 of article EIGHTH, we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of persons who are or were directors or officers whether or not we would have the power or the obligation to indemnify those persons.

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 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 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 periodic 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 herein.

(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 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) 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.

---
