In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director&#8217;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:74px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to time. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person 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 or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation-a &#8220;derivative action&#8221;), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such 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 such person&#8217;s conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#8217; 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&#8217;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.  In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#8220;Bylaws&#8221;) provide that the Company shall indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents as set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL and described in this paragraph.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition to the indemnification rights provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements (&#8220;Indemnification Agreements&#8221;) with certain of its directors.  These Indemnification Agreements require the Company to indemnify such directors, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, against certain costs actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a proceeding (i) if such directors were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in a proceeding and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if such directors are, or are threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding.  The Indemnification Agreements also provide that, if the indemnification rights provided for in the Indemnification Agreements are unavailable, then (to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law) in the first instance the Company will pay the entire amount incurred by the applicable director in connection with a proceeding without requiring such director to contribute to such payment.  These rights of indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which the applicable directors are entitled.  In addition, these rights of indemnification shall continue, under certain circumstances, after the term of the applicable directors&#8217; service to the Company has ended.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  Under the Bylaws, expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  The Indemnification Agreements also require the Company to advance expenses reasonably incurred by an applicable director in connection with a proceeding upon the execution and delivery by such director of an undertaking to repay such advance to the extent that it is determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") provides
that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as the same exists or may be amended, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
The Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to time. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and agents of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person 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 or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation-a "derivative action"), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such 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 such person's 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 bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.  In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents as set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL and described in this paragraph.
In addition to the indemnification rights provided for in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements ("Indemnification Agreements") with certain of its directors.  These Indemnification Agreements require the Company to indemnify such directors, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, against certain costs actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a proceeding (i) if such directors were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in a proceeding and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if such directors are, or are threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding.  The Indemnification Agreements also provide that, if the indemnification rights provided for in the Indemnification Agreements are unavailable, then (to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law) in the first instance the Company will pay the entire amount incurred by the applicable director in connection with a proceeding without requiring such director to contribute to such payment.  These rights of indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which the applicable directors are entitled.  In addition, these rights of indemnification shall continue, under certain circumstances, after the term of the applicable directors' service to the Company has ended.
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  Under the Bylaws, expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  The Indemnification Agreements also require the Company to advance expenses reasonably incurred by an applicable director in connection with a proceeding upon the execution and delivery by such director of an undertaking to repay such advance to the extent that it is determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.  These rights of advancement of expenses provided for in the Indemnification Agreements shall continue, under certain circumstances, after the term of the applicable directors' service to the Company has ended, and are not exclusive of any other rights to which the applicable directors are entitled.  Under the Bylaws, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws.
Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL and the Bylaws, the Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
coverage.  The foregoing statements are subject to the provisions of Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL, as well as the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to 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 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 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 Commission by the registrant 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.
(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 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 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.
(c) 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 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.
