Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation shall
      have the power to indemnify any person who is or was a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed civil, criminal, administrative, or
      investigative action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action by or in right of the corporation) because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid
      in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in any such action, suit, or proceeding 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, and, with
      respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation shall
      have the power 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 because the person is or
      was a director or officer of the corporation, against any 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 be indemnified for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation shall
      have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such,
      whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the law. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
      law, a director will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that we will indemnify each director and
      officer and may indemnify employees and agents, as determined by our board, to the fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the Delaware
      General Corporation Law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits the limitation of directors' personal
      liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good
      faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) breaches under Section 174 of the Delaware
      General Corporation Law, which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or redemptions, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for our officers and directors.
We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our executive officers and directors
      that provides, in general, that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.
