ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), among other things, provides that a corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, a "Proceeding")
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she 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 expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person
acted in any of the capacities set forth above, whether for the corporation or at its request, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may 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 indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c) of the DGCL also provides that, to the extent a present or former 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 above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
2
Section 145(f) of the DGCL provides that the statutory provisions on indemnification are not
exclusive of indemnification provided pursuant to the bylaws, indemnification agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Company's Bylaws contain provisions regarding the indemnification of directors and officers. Article VI of the Company's
Bylaws provides for the indemnification of its officers and directors to substantially the same extent permitted by the DGCL, except with respect to Proceedings to enforce indemnification rights, the Company may indemnify a director or officer in
connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by that director or officer only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. The indemnification described above (unless ordered by a court)
shall be paid by the Company unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. This
determination must be made:
•
by the Company's Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such Proceeding;
•
if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
•
by the Company's stockholders.
Article VI of the Company's Bylaws provides that
costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person seeking indemnification under Article VI of the Company's Bylaws in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such
person while a director or officer) in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall
ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such costs, charges and expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the
Company's Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Company's Board of Directors may, upon approval of such director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, authorize the Company's counsel to represent such person in any
Proceeding, whether or not the Company is a party to such Proceeding.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may
provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but excludes specifically liability
for any:
•
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
•
transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The provision does
not limit equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.
The
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director from breaches of fiduciary duty, subject to the exceptions described above.
3
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with some of its directors and officers that
establish contract rights to indemnification substantially similar to the rights to indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws.

, 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 periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Trinity 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 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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of Trinity's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of Trinity pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Trinity 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 Trinity of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Trinity 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, Trinity 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.
