indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a

a person indemnified by this provision when we receive an undertaking by or on behalf of such

ITEM 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation—a "derivative action''), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed
II-1
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 their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a
corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote,
agreement, or otherwise.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be
liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except as required by law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL
requires that liability be imposed for the following:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
•
any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as
provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; and
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our amended and restated bylaws and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now in effect or as amended, we will
indemnify and hold harmless any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action by
reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or
was our director or officer, or while our director or officer is or was serving, at our request, as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or
sponsored by us, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity
as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director or
officer, employee or agent. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by
a person indemnified by this provision when we receive an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be
indemnified by us. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations
relating to actions taken before an amendment.
We intend to obtain policies insuring our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries
against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under these
policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may also pay amounts for which we have granted
indemnification to the directors or officers.

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. 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
II-3
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 aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 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 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 information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities 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 the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act
to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
That in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this
Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
(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 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.
II-4
(h) 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 Securities and Exchange
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.
II-5
